US heads to the sidelines
US markets are largely open on Friday but with the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday, it's a de facto four-day weekend.
That means it will be quiet throughout global markets unless some kind of shock hits. We're keeping a close eye on China and whatever Trump has in store but overall it's usually a quieter time, which is probably fine for most after the drama of the past month.
There is one slice of US economic data still on the calendar. That's the advance good trade balance report, which will be released on Friday and is expected to show a $59B deficit, up from $56.5B in September. It's a newer report but it doesn't tend to move the market and it might get extra attention on Friday.
Note that Canada isn't on holiday so loonie traders may be around to react to the twists and turns in the oil market.
But for the most part, the twists will be centred on beer bottles.
