Stocks are down today, but it’s not due to any negative news affecting the market on Friday!
Instead, the stock market is simply retreating after undergoing a recent rally throughout this week. That was brought on by better-than-expected inflation data in the October Consumer Price Index (CPI) report.
With that news, investors celebrated in the first half of the week as the data gave hope that the Federal Reserve won’t introduce any more rate increases in the near future. That’s a positive for the market, as the Fed’s battle with inflation has been weighing on the market for roughly a year now.
Even with stocks slipping on Friday, the market’s performance throughout November has been positive. Now, investors will just have to hold out hope that the market doesn’t give up too much of the headway it has made this month.
Let’s check out how the major indices are performing below!
