The Dow Jones added more than 150 points in shortened trading on Friday while the S&P 500 was little changed as investors reassessed the outlook for monetary policy while looking for clues on consumer health as Black Friday shopping started. The Nasdaq underperformed, falling roughly 0.5%, as shares of Activision Blizzard closed down more than 4% following news that the FTC was planning to file an antitrust lawsuit to prevent Microsoft from acquiring the videogame publisher. Investors also digested the latest move from China, with the central bank cutting the reserve requirement ratio for banks by 25 basis points to shore up growth in an economy battered by persistent coronavirus-induced restrictions and real estate crises. Investors continued to parse the minutes from the last Fed meeting, with policymakers seeing the case for slower interest rate hikes while recognizing that recession risks are rising. For the week, the Dow gained 1.8%, the S&P 500 1.5% and the Nasdaq 0.7%.
