The stock market opened the week on a positive note, with major indexes posting gains after sharp losses earlier in November. Hints from New York Fed President John Williams regarding a potential December rate cut fueled this optimism. Investors remain cautious, however, as stocks linked to AI have seen a pullback and valuations are being reassessed. The long U.S. government shutdown has also delayed important economic data, leaving investors with limited information about retail sales and producer prices, which may influence future market movements. While global markets saw gains due to hopes for a rate cut, the volatility stemming from shifting trade policies and tech earnings remains. Notably, the Supreme Court is set to rule on whether many Trump-era tariffs were legally imposed, potentially reshaping corporate strategies and influencing market sentiment.
