Supply chain woes continued to bedevil the market, particularly consumer names. on the last full trading day this week in America before Thanksgiving, Wall Street was decidedly mixed: the Dow shed 12 points to close essentially flat as the S&P added 0.2% and the Nasdaq recovered 0.44% after recent selling.
Retailers are being hammered by product shortages, which sent the Gap sliding by 24% and Nordstrom plunging 29%. Macy’s was also hit for 4.43% and Abercrombie & Fitch lost 4.55%. The Dow components were mixed though there were some bright spots. Visa regained 2.4% after being pummeled recently, AMD advanced 5.26%, Etsy added 6.22% and Deere rose 5.32%. Meanwhile, Bitcoin slipped 0.5% to trade around $57,300 as gold was flat.
The TSX gained 0.39% as most components, starting with energy, tech and real estate rallied while consumer staples lagged. Trading heavily were Suncor, up 2.24%, Bombardier at 3.37% and Organigram which jumped 5.43% to continued its recent wild ride. Sliding down, however, were Alimentation Couche-Tard at -4.59% and Enghouse which closed at -2.48%. Meanwhile, crude oil lost a little ground as WTI slipped 0.28% to trade over $78 per barrel and WCS lost 0.75% to dip below $59. American markets will closed Thursday and open only partially Friday, though the TSX will be open for business as usual.
