Vietnam Insight

 In regular trading on Thursday, the Dow rose 0.43%, the S&P 500 climbed 0.26% and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.19%.Those gains came as the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady and signaled 75 basis points of rate cuts for next year, more than initially projected in September. Meanwhile, retail sales unexpectedly rose last month, suggesting a strong kick-off of the holiday shopping season and initial claims came below forecasts. Still, the strong data did little to alter rate cut expectations.
