6 分钟Hey listeners, your money briefing is on a break,
but we'll be back with more personal finance information for you in the future.
Until then, here's the news moving markets this week.
Hey listeners, it's Saturday, November 15th.
I'm Francesca Fontana for The Wall Street Journal, and this is What's News in Markets,
our look at the biggest stock moves of the week and the news that drove them.
Let's get to it.
This week started off with a stock market rally with an end to the government shutdown in sight,
pushing the Dow above 48,000 by Wednesday's close.
But the optimism faded fast on Thursday, with the Dow losing almost 800 points.
While we saw broad declines, tech stocks were hit particularly hard.
I'll break that down in a little bit.
One factor weighing on stocks was traders backing away from their bets on interest rate cuts.
According to CME Group, which operates futures and options exchanges,
the chances of a cut by the Federal Reserve next month were around 50%,
and that's down from 63% on Wednesday and about 70% a week earlier.
All told, on Thursday, US stocks posted their worst day in a month.
Woof.
On a weekly basis, the Dow added .3%.
The S&P 500 edged 0.1% higher, and the NASDAQ lost about half a percent.
