- Yesterday’s trading session in the United States ended solidly in positive territory. The Nasdaq 100 led the gains, rising 0.87%, driven by Nvidia and other semiconductor companies. The S&P 500 increased by 0.69%, while the Dow Jones rose 0.67%.
- Markets are increasingly pricing in a scenario of a Fed rate cut in December. As a result, the US dollar came under pressure, weakening against most major currencies as some capital flowed into Antipodean currencies and the British pound.
- The US session will be closed today due to Thanksgiving.
- In Asia, stock indices showed moderate gains during the session. Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose 1.1%, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng increased by 0.34%, and Shanghai Composite gained 0.49%. The Australian S&P/ASX 200 remained largely unchanged.
- A key event in the Asia-Pacific region was the decision by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. The RBNZ cut its rate by 25 basis points but immediately signaled the end of the easing cycle.
- In Japan, the yen initially strengthened on speculation that the Bank of Japan might raise rates as early as December. However, a speech by BoJ Monetary Policy Board member Noguchi cooled market expectations. Noguchi confirmed readiness for further policy normalization but emphasized the need for a very cautious approach and avoiding haste.
- In Australia, investors focused on exceptional capital investment data, which showed a 6.4% quarter-on-quarter increase in Q3, far exceeding any forecasts and marking the strongest growth since 2012. Record spending on equipment and machinery indicated a corporate sector rebound and sustained discussion about whether the Reserve Bank of Australia might reconsider tightening monetary policy in early 2026.
