Cryptocurrency Gains +/- Price (Recorded 9:30 p.m. EDT)

The global crypto market cap currently stands at $1.42 trillion, reflecting an increase of 0.01% in the past 24 hours.

Stock futures dipped on Sunday evening, signaling a potential pause in the equity market’s recent upward trend. S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures slipped by 0.2% each.

Despite the potential setback, Wall Street has experienced four consecutive weeks of gains, with stocks rallying since the 10-year Treasury yield retreated from its brief peak of 5% in late October.

Notably, this rally has occurred despite concerns raised by some U.S. retailers about weakening consumer spending. As a result, traders will closely monitor the start of the holiday shopping season following Black Friday, in order to gauge the potential impact on the economy.

If weak spending data emerges, it could suggest that the Federal Reserve’s rate hikes are beginning to impact the broader economy. Monday will see the release of new home sales data and the latest Dallas Fed Manufacturing Survey. Consumer confidence and inflation readings will follow later in the week.
