Weekly Market Insights: Key Data, Sector Shifts and Stocks to Watch (Nov 24–28, 2025)

Good morning, investors.
We’re heading into a short trading week that isn’t as quiet as it looks. Tech just came off a sharp pullback after Nvidia’s post-earnings reversal, Bitcoin slipped into negative territory for the year, and both staples and discretionary names showed signs of strain.

Now the real signals arrive fast: Tuesday brings PPI, retail sales and consumer confidence in one burst, followed by jobless claims and durable goods on Wednesday. After that, the market shuts for Thanksgiving and reopens for a Black Friday session focused on early consumer demand.
Thin liquidity, heavy data and a fragile consumer.
A small window, but an important one.
