Confidence that the US might soon cut interest rates gave local markets a bit of a boost. However, that was balanced out by talk that the RBA might go the other way and increase rates in 2024, which kept gains modest. Still, it was a positive week after a run of recent declines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the US, markets moved higher as signs of easing inflation and strong holiday spending lifted investor confidence. The Nasdaq led the way, up 0.9%, helped by better consumer sentiment and a drop in inflation expectations.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales were strong, especially in clothing,&nbsp;beauty&nbsp;and holiday items. Jobs data showed some mixed signals;&nbsp;fewer new hires, but also fewer people filing for unemployment. In company news, Netflix made headlines with a big announcement:&nbsp;it&#8217;s&nbsp;planning to buy Warner Bros. Discovery for US$72 billion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">European markets also gained ground. Inflation across the eurozone stayed close to the European Central Bank\u2019s target, while job numbers remained strong. Germany\u2019s factory orders also came in better than expected, which supported sentiment. The UK\u2019s FTSE dipped slightly, but overall confidence across the region held up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In China, markets ended the week higher, with investors showing renewed interest in the local tech and AI sectors. That optimism helped offset concerns around slowing economic data. Japan\u2019s market also\u00a0finished up, with the Nikkei rising 0.5%. This came after comments from the Bank of Japan suggested it may raise interest rates soon,\u00a0something that\u00a0hasn\u2019t\u00a0happened there in years.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t have the Raiz App?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Download it for free in the App store or the Webapp below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/3yef.adj.st\/home?adj_t=4emcfc6_1okyyjf&amp;adj_deep_link=raiz%3A%2F%2Fhome&amp;adj_fallback=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.raizinvest.com.au%2F\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"351\" height=\"84\" src=\"https:\/\/raizinvest.com.au\/investors\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/download-app.png\" alt=\"download-raiz-app\" class=\"wp-image-3372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/raizinvest.com.au\/investors\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/download-app.png 351w, https:\/\/raizinvest.com.au\/investors\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/download-app-320x77.png 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 351px) 100vw, 351px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/3yef.adj.st\/home?adj_t=4emcfc6_1okyyjf&amp;adj_deep_link=raiz%3A%2F%2Fhome&amp;adj_fallback=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.raizinvest.com.au%2F\">Click to download the Raiz app<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Important Information<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This information has been issued by Instreet Investment Limited (ACN 128 813 016 AFSL 434776) as Responsible Entity of the Raiz Invest Australia Fund (ARSN 607 533 022) and has been prepared without taking into account your objectives, financial situation or needs.
