Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq waver with Powell speech, Trump-led sweep in focus
Published On Nov 14, 2024, 9:30 AM
US stock markets experienced little movement with the Dow Jones gaining slightly while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq saw minor declines. Investors are awaiting a speech from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, which is expected to provide insights on interest rates amid an environment of decreased inflation expectations. The recent Republican control in Congress is also being watched closely, as it may influence economic policies under President-elect Trump. Initial jobless claims fell to their lowest since May, contributing positively but creating mixed sentiments in the market.
