Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan: We are ready to contribute to any diplomatic initiatives and programs that would facilitate direct contact between Russia and Ukraine.According to TASS: Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan discussed the Ukraine peace plan.HSBC: Forecasts a year-end target of 7,500 for the S&P 500 in 2026.On November 24th, the National Association for Business Economics (NABE) stated in its annual forecast survey that the U.S. economy will grow slightly faster next year, but job growth will remain weak, and the Federal Reserve will slow the pace of further interest rate cuts. The survey, which covered 42 professional forecasters, showed a median economic growth forecast of 2%, up from 1.8% in the October survey. Increased personal spending and business investment are expected to drive economic growth, but professional forecasters almost unanimously believe that the Trump administrations new import tariffs will drag down growth by at least 0.25 percentage points. The survey report stated that "respondents consider the tariff impact to be the biggest downside risk to the U.S. economic outlook." Stricter immigration enforcement is also seen as a factor inhibiting economic growth, while increased productivity is considered the most likely factor to drive growth higher than expected. Furthermore, inflation is projected to be 2.9% by the end of this year, slightly lower than the 3% forecast in the October survey, and is expected to decline only slightly to 2.6% next year, with tariffs expected to contribute 0.25 to 0.75 percentage points. Job growth is expected to remain moderate by historical standards, with approximately 64,000 new jobs added per month, well below recent averages. The unemployment rate is projected to rise to 4.5% in early 2026 and remain at that level throughout the year. With inflation high and unemployment only slightly rising, the Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points in December, but only by another 50 basis points next year, close to the roughly neutral interest rate level of monetary policy.According to the Syrian state news agency, Syria received nearly 1 million barrels of crude oil from Saudi Arabia.

S&P 500 (SPX500)

S&P 500 is currently trying to settle above the 4080 level. Today, traders focused on the economic data from the U.S. PCE Price Index met expectations, while Consumer Sentiment and Pending Home Sales exceeded analyst forecasts. The economy remains in a decent shape despite recession worries, which is bullish for stocks.


The Fed decision, which will be released on February 1, will be the key event for markets in the near term. At this point, traders are not worried about hawkish Fed. The market expects that Fed will raise the rate by 25 bps at the next meeting and will not be able to push the rate above the 5.00% level in 2023. The encouraging economic reports did not change this consensus, which was bullish for S&P 500.


Today’s move is not broad, and several market segments are moving lower. Energy stocks got hit due to the pullback in oil markets.


American Express is the biggest gainer in the S&P 500 today. The stock is up by 12% after the strong earnings report.


Intel  is among the biggest losers in today’s trading session as the company missed analyst estimates on both earnings and revenue and presented disappointing guidance for the first quarter.

NASDAQ (NAS100)

NASDAQ rallied to new highs as Tesla gained 10% amid reports about high demand for Model Y in the U.S.


The general risk appetite is rising, which is bullish for the tech-heavy NASDAQ. Currently, NASDAQ is trying to settle above the resistance at 12,200. In case this attempt is successful, NASDAQ will move towards the next resistance level at 12,450.

Dow Jones (US30)

Dow Jones is today’s laggard due to the sell-off in Intel and Chevron shares. Chevron is down by 4% today as traders take profits near all-time highs and react to the pullback in oil markets.
