US open: Dow Jones looks to extend November win streak
(Sharecast News) - Wall Street stocks were higher at the opening bell on Monday as major indices searched for direction following a recent hot streak. As of 1455 GMT, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.11% at 34,984.86, while the S&P 500 advanced 0.21% to 4,523.32 and the Nasdaq Composite came out the gate 0.59% firmer at 14,208.15.
The Dow opened 37.58 points higher on Monday, extending gains recorded in a winning week for the blue-chip, fuelled by tame inflation numbers that gave traders hope that the central bank may soon soften its tough stance on interest rates.
Interactive Investor's Richard Hunter said: "Markets are continuing to bask in the sunlight of easing monetary conditions, with each of the three major US indices posting gains for the third successive week, resulting in a positive November performance so far.
"The latest inflation data added to hopes that the Federal Reserve could still be on track to engineer a soft landing for the economy, with the consensus firmly of the opinion that the interest rate hiking cycle has now ended. Indeed, traders are already debating the timing of potential interest rate cuts as the next development, with summer currently gaining popularity as a possible return to easier monetary measures."
Monday will be a quiet day on the Street, with no major economic data scheduled for release. However, in the corporate space, video conferencing giant Zoom will publish its latest set of quarterly earnings after the close of trading.
Also drawing an amount of investor attention, tech giant Microsoft hired ousted OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman to head up its new advanced AI research team. Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella announced the surprise move on Monday, just days after Altman was forced out of OpenAI.
As far as the rest of the week goes, the Federal Reserve's meeting minutes will be the main event as the US prepares for Thanksgiving on Thursday. Traders will thumb over the minutes for signs that the Fed has indeed finished its interest rate rising prrogramme following weaker-than-anticipated CPI figures. Elsewhere, existing home sales, durable goods orders, and the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index will all be published this week.
