FYI: The first full trading week of November, the first month in the best six-month cycle for stocks, was an exciting one. Although the weekly gains will not be classified as “jaw-dropping,” U.S. stocks continued their march to record highs.
Earlier in the week, riskier assets got a lift as Republicans strengthened their majority in the House of Representatives while taking their first Senate majority in eight years. On Friday, the Labor Department said U.S. employers added 214,000 new jobs last month.
“The economy has added better than 200,000 jobs each month since February, the best such streak since 1995. It marked the 49th straight month of positive job growth, the best stretch on records back to 1939,” according to the Wall Street Journal.
With that good cheer in mind, we turn to the biggest ETF stories of the week.
