On Friday, US stock markets showed a rebound after investors received encouraging news from the inflation data released by the Fed. The core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index revealed a deceleration in price increases during November, suggesting some stability in inflation, although it remains above the Fed's target. Despite poor performances earlier in the week, major stock indices like the Nasdaq, S&P 500, and Dow Jones saw increases of up to 0.8%. Notably, Novo Nordisk's shares plunged about 20% due to disappointing trial results for its obesity drug, while FedEx shares rose following an upgrade from analysts.
