📈 TL;DR – Last Week in 60 Seconds
Stocks ripped over the holiday week. The S&P 500 notched its best Thanksgiving stretch since 2008. Small caps led as rate hopes firmed. The U.S. dollar (DXY) slipped, easing financial conditions. Gold rose on growing Fed cut bets. Retailers drew attention as holiday shopping kicked off; early reads leaned solid, but investors want confirmation in coming data.
A green week for Bitcoin turned red during the weekend, signaling a possible risk-off start to December. Big picture: easier yields + softer dollar = tailwind for risk, but data and Fed speak can still swing sentiment quickly.
