Weekly Buzz | Market chugs along on sleepy post-holiday volume, awaiting Black Friday results
U.S. stock indexes changed little after Friday's shortened post-Thanksgiving session, which typically sees low volume as many traders opt to take the day off. The week saw a slight pullback from a booming market after inflation figures came in low, and the Fed showed interest rates are not going up soon. FOMC meeting minutes Tuesday illustrated that Fed members would raise rates again if they had to.
The SPX barely moved 0.06% Friday and up 1% for the week, to 4,559. The IXIC dropped 0.11% on the day but rose 0.89% for the week to 14,250. The DJI rose 0.33% on the day and 1.27% for the week at 35,390. It reached its highest point since Aug. 1.
Investors returned from Thursday's Thanksgiving Day break to a shortened day of trading on Friday. Major U.S. stock exchanges closed at 1 p.m. EST.
An abbreviated trading session is also expected for the bond market, which saw yields rising across the board on the heels of a selloff of European bonds due to concerns over higher interest rates and borrowing woes for Germany. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose seven basis points to 4.482%. Crude oil and futures dropped all week, down Friday 1.52% to $75 abarrel after OPEC delayed its scheduled Sunday meeting. MarketWatch reported that Thanksgiving week traditionally sees lighter volumes, down about 40% on Friday, which can make markets choppier.
Although results from Nvidia -- which saw its shares drop despite forecast-beating results -- have dampened some of the market's enthusiasm, November is the best month for the S&P 500 since July 2022, according to FactSet data. Retailers such as Amazon, Walmart, Target, and payment providers like Mastercard and Visa will be in focus next week as the Black Friday shopping spree kicks off the holiday shopping season. Some analysts expect the 2023 holiday shopping period to resemble the pre-COVID years, and sales will not be as impressive, MarketWatch reported.
Let's dive into the weekly buzzing stock list this week:
In recent news: Four years after its initial launch event, the Tesla Cybertruck is finally rolling into full production at the end of the month. At least, that's what $Tesla(TSLA.US)$ has said, aiming for a Nov. 30 delivery event at its Texas "gigafactory."

In recent news: The Wall Street Journal reported that after a hectic few days, it looks like it's all back to where it started -- Sam Altman is returning to OpenAI as chief executive.

102362254 : When the market shows low volume, I’ll use options strategies such as iron condors, calendars, butterflies or straddles that suit low volatility. These strategies can help me profit from a stable or slightly moving market, while limiting my risks and exposure.
Hua Moo Lan : Low volume is likely to indicate the reduced interest among investors and may result in increased price volatility hence calls for a more cautious market approach and investment strategies. Personally, I am more inclined to accumulate the stocks rather than to wait and hold.
Reason behind is that being a mid to long term investor, a low volume market which comes with higher volatility simply means there’s an opportunity to accumulate good stocks at attracted price through profound technical analysis - keeping an eye on patterns and indicators that may signal price movements, market news/events and strike at the right time. Portfolio diversification is also highly recommended in low-volume environment to spread risk across different assets and sectors.
HuatLady : I tend to be conservative and adhere to my aged old but diamond studded theory of stocks diversification when the market shows low volume. It will help me to decrease the risks by rebalancing my portfolio. Therefore, regardless of market volatility, it is important to accumulate very cautiously. They are small steps towards Big Impacts.
ZnWC : Low volume is expected in November and December due to holiday season. We may even see profit taking as investors decided to take a break or celebrate. If you're taking long position, there's nothing to worry about as long as the company fundamental is still healthy.
If we are looking at the entire year, tech stocks especially magnificent seven stock value increase. There may be some stock price drop due to various reasons (like Nvdia, Microsoft and Tesla) or simply price correction.
Current situation is much better than a year ago. Fed has paused rate hike, most countries has resumed travel and promote trade and US dollars are dropping. Previously I predicted 3 sectors may see strong growth - ArtificiaI Intelligence, Supercomputing and Ultra-fast internet (6G and beyond). We are looking at the rise of AGI (General Intelligence).
How to invest will depend the holding power you have. Will the stock market crash further or waiting for a reason to rally? I prefer to believe the latter and hold.
小trader : As a fundamental analysis-driven investor, my primary focus is on assessing the underlying strength and value of a company. While I rely heavily on fundamentals and intrinsic value to shape my investment thesis, I also acknowledge the significance of market volume.
Volume serves as a crucial indicator of market activity and can provide valuable insights into the level of interest and participation from investors. Low volume may suggest reduced liquidity, potentially leading to increased price volatility. This scenario can make it challenging to execute trades at desired prices, emphasizing the importance of strategic decision-making.
In times of low volume, I maintain a dual perspective. Firstly, I adhere to my fundamental analysis, ensuring that the company's core strengths align with my investment criteria. Simultaneously, I remain vigilant to the market dynamics influenced by volume, considering it as a factor that could impact short-term price movements.
In essence, while fundamentals guide my long-term investment strategy, I recognize the significance of market volume in navigating the current landscape. Balancing both perspectives allows for a more comprehensive approach to decision-making in varying market conditions.
HuatEver : Surviving the low market volume doesn’t always require precision talents or huge commitments. These simple yet impactful ways will do the trick:-
To keep cool as long as I know my Risks Tolerances. Panic selling can be my downfall.
To identify good value stocks and to accumulate them at attainable prices. I will focus on Defensive stocks such as consumers stables, utilities and pharmaceuticals because they generally do well on earnings and dividends payments regardless whether it is a bear or bull market.
Rizwan Khan : $FITTERS (9318.MY)$
cola1010 : Low-volume market situations should be viewed with caution, as they frequently indicate increased price volatility and less liquidity. I will hold onto my investments, utilising a dollar-cost averaging technique to steadily grow assets, focusing on high-quality equities or alternative investments, and remaining knowledgeable about market trends and economic indicators are all strategies. DYODD to align investment approach with the long-term financial goals and risk tolerance.
