Bitcoin is soaring to a new record following President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s selection of Paul Atkins to head the SEC. Atkins, a crypto aficionado, is being celebrated by investors due to mounting evidence that the incoming administration remains committed to easing regulations. But Trump and Atkins weren\u2019t the only folks providing a boost to crypto. Fed Chair Powell remarked during an interview yesterday at the New York Times DealBook Summit that bitcoin is a competitor to gold rather than the dollar. The comments quelled concerns that the central bank views the digital currency as a challenger to the US currency, while propelling hopes that more monetary policy leaders will embrace the space. Meanwhile, there\u2019s certainly some rotation occurring in markets today, as commodities, bonds and the greenback are suffering losses while stocks are down to a lesser extent, but bitcoin is surging; it\u2019s up 5% and trading near $104,000, well above the critical $100,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Folks Look Abroad<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The economic calendar is pretty quiet today, featuring European retail trade, which contracted more than expected, while stateside unemployment claims arrived mixed across the initial and continuing segments. But political and central banking developments from across the world are quite eventful. Topping the list is a relief rally in French assets on the back of National Rally leader Marine Le Pen expressing optimism over the ability for Paris to pass a budget in a matter of weeks. President Emmanuel Macron is expected to deliver a statement at around 2:00 pm ET after Prime Minister (PM) Michael Barnier\u2019s resignation resulting from no-confidence votes by both left- and right-leaning members of Parliament. Macron seeks to replace Barnier with a PM who can appease both sides of the Assembly and successfully pass next year\u2019s budget, a difficult task. Shifting east to Vienna, OPEC+ delayed plans to introduce additional barrels of crude oil from this January to April. The original proposal was to begin increasing production last October, but weaker prices and abundant supplies have contributed to continued delays. Furthermore, OPEC+ is extending production cuts an additional 12 months to year-end 2026. Turning to Tokyo, a top BoJ dove, board member Toyoaki Nakamura, appeared open to further rate hikes, which is strengthening the yen and boosting odds of an interest rate climb later this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Euro Shoppers Take a Breather<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

European consumption fell sharply in October following three consecutive months of strength. Retail trade volumes, which are adjusted for inflation, dropped 0.5% month over month (m\/m), beneath the 0.3% contraction expected and the 0.5% growth rate from the prior period. Folks took a sizable break from purchasing goods and gasoline, with quantities slipping 0.9% and 0.3% m\/m. Conversely, households increased their orders modestly in the food, drinks and tobacco category, which advanced 0.1%.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Past performance is not indicative of future results<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First-Time Unemployment Claims Jump<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Initial unemployment claims jumped last week while the ability for displaced workers to find new positions appears to have remained unchanged, according to this morning\u2019s Department of Labor report. It depicts a labor market that is solid even as it eases modestly. Initial unemployment claims for the week ended Nov. 30 totaled 224,000, up from 215,000 in the preceding period. Analysts expected no sequential change. Continuing claims, however, eased slightly but lingered near their recent highs, with a total of 1.871 million for the week ended Nov. 23, falling below the consensus forecast of 1.910 million and the preceding week\u2019s 1.896 million. Continuing claims illustrate the difficulty or ease that idle individuals experience when pounding the pavement. Four-week moving averages, which help smooth out volatility in weekly data, depicted a similar trend. The averages for both components changed from 217,500 and 1.887 million to 218,250 and 1.884 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manufacturing Leads in Layoffs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a related matter, Challenger, Gray & Christmas\u2019 Challenger Report revealed that businesses announced 57,727 job cuts last month, a 3.8% m\/m increase and 26.8% higher than the same month in 2023. The data confirms recent reports from ADP and the Institute for Supply Management of contracting manufacturing employment. According to Challenger, automotive parts manufacturers and suppliers experienced the largest number of layoffs as companies responded to competition from China while bracing for potential tariffs and shifts in subsidies for electric vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holiday Shopping Outlook is Mixed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

American Eagle (AEO) withheld holiday cheer and instead downgraded its current-quarter guidance, explaining that sales have dropped off quickly after promotions ended. While third-quarter earnings exceeded expectations, sales fell short of the consensus forecast. American Eagle expects fourth-quarter comparable sales to advance 1% y\/y. It believes total revenue will drop 4%, a result of having one less selling week. Wall Street expected comparable sales to climb 2.2% and total cash register activity to head south by 1%. Dollar General (DG), meanwhile, raised the bottom end of its full-year sales growth guidance from 4.7% to 4.8% but lowered the upper range from 5.3% to 5.1%. Its third-quarter sales were resilient, climbing 5% y\/y, but earnings per share sank 29.4% y\/y, largely due to operational challenges associated with hurricanes Milton and Helene. Also in the retail sector, Five Below (FIVE) struck a somewhat optimistic tone by increasing its full-year sales guidance. It previously anticipated a 4% to 5.5% decline in comparable sales but is now targeting a 3% contraction. Strong Black Friday sales prompted the revision. Five Below\u2019s third-quarter sales and earnings exceeded analysts\u2019 expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investors Flock to Bitcoin<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Investors are trimming their holdings of stocks, bonds, commodities and greenbacks today in favor of bitcoin, which is flying high. Bitcoin, up 5% and near $104,000, is experiencing gains as every major, domestic stock benchmark suffers losses. The Russell 2000, Dow Jones Industrial, Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 indices are 0.8%, 0.2%, 0.2% and 0.1% lower. Sectoral breadth is in the middle, however, with 6 out of 11 segments losing on the session and led by materials, health care and industrials which have fallen 1.4%, 0.7% and 0.7%. Upside leadership is comprised of consumer discretionary, financials and utilities, which are up 0.8%, 0.7% and 0.6%. Treasurys and the greenback are also taking losses with the 2- and 10-year maturities changing hands at 4.17% and 4.21%, 4 and 3 basis points (bps) heavier on the session. The Dollar Index is lower by 46 bps, as rotations to bitcoin and the Japanese yen hurt the US currency. It\u2019s depreciating versus most of its major, developed market counterparts, including the euro, pound sterling, franc, yen, yuan and Aussie and Canadian tenders. Commodities are tilted bearishly with lumber, silver, gold and copper lower by 1.1%, 0.4%, 0.3% and 0.3%. WTI Crude is higher by 0.4%, however, and trading at $68.95 per barrel on news that OPEC+ is delaying its production increase again as well as reducing the pace of future supply escalations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anticipation Builds for Jobs Friday<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday\u2019s stock rally intensified following Fed Chair Powell\u2019s speech and while today\u2019s sluggishness is partially explained by bitcoin\u2019s buoyancy, there\u2019s also some hesitation due to tomorrow\u2019s largely awaited Jobs Friday. It\u2019s expected to be a noisy one, with the effects of two hurricanes, a Boeing labor strike and seasonal adjustment factors related to slower holiday hiring expected to influence the 8:30 am ET figures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
