U.S. INDEXES MIXED EARLY FRIDAY, BUT POISED FOR BIG WEEKLY GAINS
Action on Wall Street is relatively subdued early on Friday, as a rally powered by a sweeping Trump win and an expected interest-rate appears to be pausing.
That said, the S&P 500 index .SPX and Dow .DJI are both on pace for their biggest weekly gains in a year. The Nasdaq composite .IXIC is on track for its biggest weekly rise since September.
And this with the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield's US10YT=RR seven week win streak in jeopardy.
A majority of S&P 500 sectors are higher, with bond proxies including utilities .SPLRCU and real estate .SPLRCR both up more than 1%.
Among those indexes on track to post record closing highs are the Dow, S&P 500, NYSE Composite .NYA, and the S&P 500 consumer discretionary sector .SPLRCD.
Meanwhile, Chinese companies' US-listed shares are under pressure after China unveiled a debt package on Friday to ease local government financing strains and stabilize flagging economic growth. However, investors hoping for extra fiscal buffers were disappointed.
The iShares China Large-Cap ETF FXI.P is sliding nearly 5%.
