Because the stream of Alpha never stops. Right, let's jump in. You think shops get crazy on Black Friday? Strap in for chaos in the markets.

2:23The Chicago Mercantile Exchange has been hit by the longest disruption to its operations in years. Futures and options on stocks, forex, commodities and treasuries have all been affected by a cooling issue at one of CME's data centres. This comes after Wall Street was closed on Thanksgiving and was set to reopen for a shortened session today. It could be a volatile one. Still, a recent dovish tilt from several Fed officials and soft US economic data have helped global equities end a difficult month on a better note. Europe's Stock 600 was set for the lowest monthly gain since June, while the S &P 500 is likely to have its first red month since April.

3:05In terms of new data releases, Canada's current account deficit narrowed to C$9.7 billion in the third quarter, with goods exports increasing by 1.8%. The Eurozone economic sentiment indicator also saw an increase to its highest level since April, with a reading of 97 for November. However, this remains below long-term averages. Looking at more granular data, household consumption in France beat expectations to rise by 0.4 % month-on-month in October, driven by higher energy costs and food purchases. The other European powerhouse, Germany, suffered an unexpected drop of 0.3 % in retail sales month-on-month in October, while its unemployment rate stagnated at 6.3%.

3:52This reflects ongoing labour market challenges despite slight improvements in consumer confidence, as indicated by the GFK Consumer Climate Indicator, rising marginally. In Asia, Japan reported a rise in industrial production of 1.4 % in October from the previous month, beating market expectations. Retail sales also showed positive signs, with a year-on-year increase of 1.7%, increasing the odds of a BOJ rate hike. In China, however, industrial profits data disappointed with a rise of only 1.9 % year-on-year during the first 10 months of the year, raising concerns about ongoing economic challenges within the country's industrial sector Finally, India's economy beat expectations by posting GDP growth of 8.2 % annualised in the three months to September Key economic releases in the coming week include US manufacturing and services activity and consumer sentiment.

4:55Over in the crypto land, sentiment remains very cautious, although CoinMarketCap's fear and greed index has moved out of the extreme fear territory for the first time in two weeks. According to a Yonhap report cited by Decrypt, South Korean authorities suspect hackers from the North Korean group Lazarus were responsible for the upbit breach. The exchange suffered an outflow of$36 million worth of tokens from its Solana hot wallet. The CEO of Dunamu, which operates Upbit, has said customers have been fully reimbursed. OK, boys and girls, that's it from me. But there's plenty of content to feast on on Real Vision.
