Here’s your wrap for Mon, Nov 24 – Fri, Nov 28, 2025 (rounded to the dollar).

Weekly Market Summary:

Stocks rallied for a fifth straight day Friday, capping a strong holiday-shortened week on rising odds of a December Fed cut and solid mega-cap momentum. A brief CME-linked futures outage early Friday added noise but was resolved before the light Black Friday session wrapped. For the week, the S&P +3.7%, Dow +3.2%, and Nasdaq +4.9%, reversing mid-month tech jitters. Alphabet helped lead late-month gains on Gemini buzz, while Nvidia still finished November lower despite a Friday bounce in the broader tape. Turnout was seasonally thin with the early Friday close, but breadth improved as traders priced in easier policy into year-end.

Five Stocks Worth Watching:

• Alphabet (GOOGL): Strong engagement around its Gemini AI push kept the name in leadership conversations.
• Nvidia (NVDA): Still a key risk barometer; down double-digits for November even as indices climbed into month-end.
• CME Group (CME): In focus after a data-center outage briefly froze futures before recovery; operational headlines can sway sentiment.
• Amazon (AMZN): Benefited from Black Friday optimism and holiday-spending chatter.
• Jefferies (JEF): Under scrutiny after SEC-probe headlines; potential catalyst for the broker/dealer cohort.
