Financial markets: early closing and positive performance after Thanksgiving

Early closure on Wall Street

Today, Wall Street’s financial markets closed early, ending local activities, corresponding to those in Italy. This custom occurs every year after Thanksgiving, a time when investors reflect on recent performance and plan
future strategies.

Performance of the main stock indices

The three main US stock indices, the Dow Jones, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq, are about to conclude a positive week. Currently, the Dow Jones is up 1%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq show an increase of 0.5% and 0.4%, respectively.

This marks a period of significant growth, especially after Donald Trump’s re-election to the presidency of the United States, which has infused optimism
in the market.

November: a month of growth

The month of November ends with encouraging results. The Dow Jones recorded an increase of more than 7%, marking the best month since November 2023. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq also gained more than 5%, highlighting a positive trend that could continue in the coming months. At today’s opening, the Dow Jones rose 65.37 points (+0.15%), the S&P 500 gained 5.79 points (+0.10%) and the Nasdaq rose 20.43 points (+0.11%)
.

Commodity market and oil

In the commodities market, the price of WTI oil at Nymex increased by 0.70%, reaching $69.20 per barrel. However, despite this increase, oil is heading for a negative week, influenced by the postponement of the OPEC+ meeting and the reduction of tensions in the Middle East. These factors could have a significant impact on investment strategies in the energy sector.

Collaboration between PostePay and Amazon

In another area, PostePay and Amazon have announced a strengthening of their collaboration to improve the online shopping experience. Thanks to new solutions, such as the automatic recharge of prepaid cards, customers can complete purchases more easily and securely. This agreement not only consolidates PostePay’s position in the digital payments sector, but it also represents an important step for e-commerce in Italy, offering consumers greater convenience
and security.
