A brief of world stock market on Tuesday (09/11/2021)(6:59 AM - 10/11/2021)

Most of the world's stock markets fell slightly on Tuesday, and the Vietnamese stock market was mixed. Stocks fell with investors taking a breather after yet another record-setting session on Wall Street. The S&P 500 pulled back to end an 8-session winning streak. A day earlier, the index closed above 4,700 for the first time. And although the Dow and Nasdaq gave back gains as well, the indexes were still perched within view of recent record highs. Shares of Tesla (TSLA) closed lower by 12% in their biggest drop since September 2020, with the stock seeing another day of marked selling after CEO Elon Musk hinted that he may sell some of his stake. Equity investors over the past week rode an extended wave of optimism over solid quarterly corporate earnings and economic reports, which came alongside recent positive data for a new COVID-19 antiviral pill from Pfizer (PFE) and the passage of a more than $1 trillion infrastructure bill in Congress. With about 89% of S&P 500 companies ha

A brief of world stock market on Wednesday (10/11/2021)(7:24 AM - 11/11/2021)

Most of the world's stock markets rose slightly on Wednesday, and the Vietnamese stock market also rose slightly. Stocks extended losses retreating from this week's record highs with investors fixing their attention on a key inflation report that showed a greater-than-expected jump in consumer prices last month. The S&P 500 Index is coming off its first session of losses following eight straight days of gains, with the Dow and Nasdaq each also pulling back from record-setting runs. One of the most closely watched reports Wednesday morning was the Labor Department's Consumer Price Index (CPI) for October, which counterbalanced strong jobless claims that sank to their lowest of the COVID-19 era. Consumer prices soared 6.2% in October compared to last year, accelerating from September's 5.4% year-over-year rate. This was a bigger jump than the 5.9% rise anticipated, based on Bloomberg consensus data. And it represented the fastest annual rise in consumer inflation since 1990.

A brief of world stock market on Thursday (11/11/2021)(7:15 AM - 12/11/2021)

Most of the world's stock markets were up slightly on Thursday, while the Vietnamese stock market was mixed. Wall Street was mixed with investors grappling with the implications of inflation that has soared to its highest in decades, and third-quarter earnings that are starting to show signs of slowing growth. The S&P 500 was rose after back-to-back sessions of losses. The Nasdaq outperformed, with some of Wednesday's biggest technology laggards posting a rebound — led by Netflix (NFLX) which overtook Disney in market capitalization. With no notable economic data due out on Thursday due to the Veterans Day holiday, investors have been left to continue responding to the latest batch of mixed economic data. And meanwhile, a couple of closely watched companies missed quarterly earnings estimates, though most S&P 500 companies have topped expectations throughout third-quarter earnings season to date. After market close on Wednesday, Dow-component Disney (DIS) reported disappointing s

A brief of world stock market on Friday (12/11/2021)(6:51 AM - 13/11/2021)

Most of the world stock markets rose slightly on Friday, while the Vietnamese stock market rallied quite strongly. Stocks advanced after a mixed session in the markets, with both earnings and inflation data remaining at the center of investor attention. The S&P 500 gained, and both the Dow and Nasdaq also closed out Friday's session in the green after a volatile trading week. Shares of Dow component Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) rose after the company said it was planning to break up into two separate companies focused on consumer health products and pharmaceuticals, respectively, in a move echoing a similar breakup announcement by General Electric (GE) earlier this week. As of Friday's close, however, the S&P 500 ended the week marginally lower after five straight weeks of gains. But after weeks of advances, it still remained just slightly below all-time highs. "We've got a market that is just incredible. No matter what it's going up, and that shouldn't be much a surprise given how mu
