Summary: Enjoy Black Friday
Good Morning
Thanksgiving was fairly quiet, markets are not too much changed from Yesterday morning, most interestingly, the US Tech 100 NAS and the GER40 are exactly at the same level at 16000.
10 Year yields are trading at 4.46 and the USD Index 103.70, EURUSD 1.0904, GBPUSD 1.2525 and USDJPY 149.50. Gold and Silver remain at 1992. Silver just lost a full percentage point , possibly pulled lower by oil.
Nvidia may move lower today as itis delaying the launch of a new artificial intelligence chip it designed for China until the first quarter of next year
The German IFO at 10, Canadian Retail Sales at 14:30 and the S&P PMI will be the key economic releases but expect low liquidity as outlined yesterday. During the night to Monday, the Japanese PPIU will be released,

Oil: Crude oil prices remain under pressure with the latest weakness being triggered by OPEC’s decision to delay the meeting originally planned for this weekend until November 30
Options: This article explores options hedging strategies, specifically long puts on QQQ (Nasdaq 100 etf) and a debit put spread on NDX (Nasdaq 100 index option),
