Highlights:

• The U.S. SEC approved the first-ever domestic stock exchange to operate almost continuously, running 23 hours a day and five days a week. Spearheaded by hedge fund billionaire Steve Cohen, the 24X National Exchange boosted brokerage stocks, with Robinhood gaining 2.9%, Charles Schwab up 0.4%, and Interactive Brokers rising 0.3%.
• Retail stocks drew attention amid strong Black Friday shopping activity, fuelled by easing inflation, lower interest rates, and holiday enthusiasm. The National Retail Federation projects 183.4 million people will shop online and in-store from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday. Prominent retailers like Walmart and Target are positioned to benefit from the surge in consumer spending.

Company News

Microsoft (MSFT.US) declines 0.70% following news from Bloomberg that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has launched a wide-ranging antitrust investigation into the company. The probe focuses on Microsoft’s business practices in cloud computing and artificial intelligence. Wedbush Securities downplayed the concern, suggesting the investigation may not escalate, particularly if FTC Chair Lina Khan steps down under a potential Donald Trump administration.

Miniso (MNSO.US) gained 3.40% despite the company reporting its slowest quarterly revenue growth of the year. Q3 revenue reached RMB 4.52 billion ($624.1 million), a 19.3% year-over-year increase but down from the 24.1% growth in Q2 and 26% in Q1.
