US Stocks Slip, Tech Rises On Solid Holiday Sales, Treasury Yields Soften: What's Driving Markets Monday?
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
U.S. stocks saw a slight decline except for tech stocks in the Nasdaq 100, which gained on positive Black Friday online sales data from Adobe and Salesforce. Treasury yields fell, gold prices rose, and oil prices dipped ahead of an oil producers' meeting. Sector-wise, real estate and consumer discretionary stocks performed well, while energy lagged. The Trade Desk, MercadoLibre, and Zoom Video led Nasdaq 100 gains, while Domino's Pizza topped the S&P 500 after a price target raise. Crown Castle rallied on news of a significant investment by Elliott Management. Albemarle Corp., WK Kellog Co, and Petco were among the worst performers. Bond ETFs rose, European indices fell, and cryptocurrencies declined.
