WEEKLY MARKET OUTLOOK WEBINAR
PHILLIP SUMMARY
U.S. stocks advanced to close at new all-time highs Tuesday, as investors focused on U.S.-China trade talks and an upbeat assessment of the economy from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 55.21 points, or 0.2% to 28,121.68, while the S&P 500 index rose 6.88 points, or 0.2% to 3,140.52 The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 15.44 points, or 0.2%, to close at 8,647.93. Volumes were expected to remain subdued ahead of Thursday’s Thanksgiving Day holiday, which will see U.S. markets closed, followed by an abbreviated trading session on Friday.
Stocks have been sensitive to developments in the long-running U.S.-China trade battle and have been largely in rally mode since October, after Washington and Beijing signaled they were working toward a partial deal aimed at resolving less controversial issues.
Meanwhile, Fed Chair Powell, in remarks Monday evening, outlined an optimistic view of the U.S. economy but signaled that low inflation would likely keep interest rates low.
In U.S. economic data, the trade deficit fell 6% to $66.5 billion, versus expectations of $70.3 billion, according to a MarketWatch poll of economists, but the U.S. is still likely to post the biggest trade deficit in 2019 in 11 years. Consumer confidence fell in November for the fourth month in a row. New-home sales fell in October to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 733,000, from 738,000 in September.
