[소셜밸류=김완묵 기자] As in the previous day, the New York stock market in the United States, led by the Dow, all turned to an upward trend, but then returned to a mixed trend. At the beginning of the market, there were concerns about the weakening of technology stocks, including Nvidia, but the emergence of good economic indicators appears to have somewhat moved investor sentiment in a positive direction.
As of 11:27 am on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the 22nd (local time), the Dow Jones Industrial Average is recording 44,107, up 236 points (0.54%) from the previous level.
The Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 index is at 5,955, up 6 points (0.11%) from the previous day, and the Nasdaq Composite Index, centered on technology stocks, is at 18,927, 44 points (0.24%) lower than the previous day. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index is at 4,922, down 40 points (0.81%) from the previous day.
Major stocks include Nvidia down 2.5%, Microsoft 0.1%, Amazon.com 0.3%, Meta 1.1%, and Google’s Alphabet down 1.7%. In comparison, Apple is rising 0.1%, Tesla is rising 3.7%, Netflix is rising 0.3%, AMD is rising 0.1%, and ARM is rising 0.8%.
U.S. Treasury yields are showing mixed trends today without a clear direction. As of 11:09 a.m. local time, the 10-year yield is at 4.414%, down 0.018 percentage points (1.8 bp) from the previous day, and the 2-year yield is at 4.371%, up 0.022 percentage points (2.2 bp) from the previous day.
Prior to this, as of 10:30 a.m., the Dow Jones Industrial Average was recording 44,038.04, up 167.69 points (0.38%) from the previous level. The Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 index stood at 5,949.31, up 0.60 points (0.01%) from the previous day, and the Nasdaq Composite Index, centered on technology stocks, stood at 18,911.60, down 60.82 points (0.32%) from the previous day.
According to foreign media and Yonhap News, the economic indicators released today were relatively encouraging. The November manufacturing purchasing managers’ index (PMI) announced by Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Global was 48.8, an improvement from the previous month (48.5) and the highest in four months. It also met market expectations (48.8). However, the figure was below 50, showing that the manufacturing industry is still in a contraction phase. The service industry PMI in November was 57.0, the highest in 32 months. It also exceeded market expectations (55.2).
The consumer sentiment index, which reflects consumers’ confidence in the U.S. economy, continued to improve for four consecutive months. According to the University of Michigan, the consumer sentiment index in November was 71.8, up 1.8% from the previous month and 17.1% from the same period last year. The expected inflation value in November was 2.6%, lower than the previous month (2.7%). It is the lowest value in about four years since December 2020.
The stock price of Gap, a clothing company that announced its earnings after the market closed the previous day, is rising sharply by 7%. Gap, which is said to have achieved a successful turnaround, is believed to have raised its stock price by raising its performance outlook ahead of the end of the year after revealing good third-quarter earnings that easily exceeded market expectations for both sales and net profit.
Amazon’s stock price fell somewhat after announcing plans to invest an additional $4 billion in Open AI’s biggest competitor, Antropic. Sarah Malik, Chief Investment Officer (CIO) of Nuveen Asset Management, said, “I think the market is gradually stabilizing,” and commented that the excitement immediately following the presidential election has subsided, and reactions to Nvidia’s performance are also subsiding.
As the selection of the Treasury Secretary, who will oversee the economic policy of the second term of Donald Trump’s administration, is going through difficult times until the last minute, according to the news that day, former Federal Reserve Director Kevin Warsh has emerged as a strong candidate. Some media outlets reported that there is a possibility that Trump will appoint Wash as Treasury Secretary and then appoint him as Jerome Powell’s successor after the expiration of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s term in 2026.
Other final candidates include Mark Rowan, CEO of asset management firm Apollo Global Management, and Scott Bessent, founder of global investment firm Key Square Group. Trump re-nominated Pam Bondi, the first female prosecutor general in Florida, after ultra-conservative Congressman Matt Gates, whom he had first nominated as attorney general for his second term, voluntarily withdrew from the candidacy due to strong backlash from the Democratic Party, as expected.
Market participants are also mindful of the ongoing physical conflict between Russia and Ukraine, exchanging mid-to-long-range missile attacks. In addition, attention is being paid to the direction of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy.
According to the FedWatch tool of the Chicago Derivatives Exchange Group (CME Group), there is a 56.2% probability that the Federal Reserve will further cut the benchmark interest rate by 25bp (1bp=0.01%) in December, and the probability of freezing it at the current level (4.50-4.75%) is 56.2%. was reflected at 43.8%.
