Black Friday sales, Consumer Confidence: What to know in the week ahead
This week will be holiday-shortened as investors take off Thursday and part of Friday in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S. The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq will each close all day on Thursday, and trading will end early at 1 p.m. ET on Friday. Bond trading is also set to close early at 2 p.m. ET on Friday. While investors take a pause, retail companies are gearing up for what in typical years tends to be one of their busiest weeks.
