US OPEN: Wall Street mixed in post-holiday trading

15:52 25 November 2022
  • US indices launched today's cash trading in mixed moods
  • US100 approaches major support
  • Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY.US) faces inventory problems

Three major Wall Street indices launched today's session mixed, with Dow Jones up 0.25% as Black Friday shopping kicks off, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 dropped 0.1% and 0.50% weighed down by Activision Blizzard, which stock fell following news that the FTC could block Microsoft from taking over the gaming company. Also concerns regarding lockdowns in China weighed on market sentiment. The second biggest economy is ramping up restrictions as the number of new cases rose sharply  in recent days. Nevertheless all three major US indexes are now on track to end the Thanksgiving week, in which trading volumes were substantially thin, up more than 1%.

US100 pulled back slightly on Friday and approaches key support at 11700 pts, which is marked with previous price reactions. Should break lower occur, downward impulse may deepen towards recent lows at 10460 pt. On the other hand, if buyers manage to regain control, another upward impulse towards long-term  downward trendline  may be launched. Source: xStation5
