• The Dow Jones is set to close north of 44,000 for the first time ever as bulls continue to run.
• Equity markets have tilted fully into the buy side after Trump’s decisive election win.
• US CPI inflation print due in the mid-0week as markets eye more Fed rate cuts.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) lurched another 300-plus points higher on Monday, with equities on the climb in an extension of the bull run kicked off after last week’s Trump win at the election polls. Markets are deceptively thin on Monday with most of the US shuttered during the Veteran’s Day holiday. Still, bidders continue to push the Dow Jones into record territory regardless.

Last week saw presidential candidate Donald Trump sweep to a surprise win in the latest US presidential election and another rate trim from the Federal Reserve (Fed). Investors see everything coming up aces, with US jobs data continuing to beat expectations and pulverize previous fears of an economic hard landing scenario.

Later this week brings a fresh update to US Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation figures. October’s headline CPI is expected to accelerate to 2.6% YoY from the previous period’s 2.4%, with core CPI for the same period forecast to hold steady at 3.3% YoY. Thursday will follow up with US Producer Price Index (PPI) business-level inflation, which is also expected to tick higher to 2.9% YoY in October from 2.8%.
