Good MorningU.S. stocks were under pressure as the AI-led rally cooled, with big-cap names dragging indexes lower. NVIDIA has pulled back sharply, down nearly 14% since late October, and showed up among the day’s most active stocks. Adding to caution, insiders have sold more than $500 million of stock at companies including Robinhood, Stryker, and Mercury Systems, a move that has raised questions about near-term conviction among corporate insiders.
Economic data painted a mixed picture for holiday spending. The Commerce Department’s delayed report showed U.S. retail sales rose only 0.2% in September, while the Conference Board’s consumer confidence index fell to 88.7 in November, the weakest since April. With retail ETFs roughly flat year-to-date and consumer sentiment sliding amid sticky inflation and softer hiring, investors are reassessing growth assumptions for the season.
Beyond U.S. data, markets tracked commodity and geopolitical developments. Crude oil futures eased while gold rallied, Alibaba reported strong cloud revenue growth, and the EU voted to deepen defense ties with Ukraine. With key reports delayed and mixed, markets will be watching upcoming data and Fed messaging for clearer direction. Featured: Sell these "safe" blue chips immediately (Ad)

From Our Partners | | Moderna's stock doubled in a single day after its cancer vaccine hit key Phase 3 goals, and Merck jumped too. But according to a former Steve Cohen fund manager, the next big opportunity is not Moderna or Merck.
It is a different kind of company tied to a technology already backed by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos, and Peter Thiel. Nvidia's Jensen Huang says it will have a dramatic impact on daily life, while Anthropic's CEO believes it could unlock a century of medical progress in just ten years.
