US stock indices gained ground on Monday amid calm and optimism in the market about the prospects of ending the current cycle of US monetary tightening, following data that showed weakening labor conditions and lower inflation. 

 

All three stock indices in the US marked strong gains last week, while Dow Jones marked the third weekly profit in row. 

 

The US market is closing on Thursday for the Thanksgiving holiday, while the Friday session will be truncated, and such short weekly sessions are usually volatile, however November has so far proved incredibly profitable for the S&P 500.
