Morning, Traders!
It is Thursday the 16th of November, here is what to look out for today.

Sentiment
On Thursday, US equities were poised to halt their advance as signs of weakness in corporate earnings raised concerns that the November rebound had gone too far. During high-stakes talks to stabilise a turbulent relationship strained by economic competition and military and diplomatic missteps, US President Biden and Chinese leader Xi reached a series of agreements. On Thursday, Wall Street will be looking for more hints about the economy and monetary policy as it watches jobless claims, Walmart earnings, and a lineup of Federal Reserve speakers. Recent optimism about a soft landing has pushed US stocks from technically oversold to potentially overbought territory.
