Canada added a net 53,600 jobs in November, while the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 6.5%, according to Statistics Canada. Economists had forecasted a loss of 5,000 jobs and a rebound in unemployment to 7%, making November the third straight month of surprisingly resilient hiring, although all the gains were in part-time employment, with 9000 job losses in full-time positions.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"68\" data-end=\"781\"><strong>American Markets<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"783\" data-end=\"1312\">U.S. stocks moved higher, as the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index report, the Federal Reserve\u2019s preferred inflation gauge\u00a0 showed a increase if 0.3% month over month, nudging annual inflation up from 2.7% to 2.8% in September. This marks the highest annual rate since April 2024, according to data from the Commerce Department. Despite the uptick, consumer sentiment improved in early December as Americans grew more confident about easing long-term inflation pressures, providing additional support to U.S. markets, and hopes of a rate cut added fuel to the upswing.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"783\" data-end=\"1312\"><strong>European Markets<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1314\" data-end=\"2002\">European markets traded Friday mixed, as traders weighed optimism surrounding the potential Federal Reserve rate cut\u00a0 for next week&#8217;s meeting. against a background of lingering concerns about economic softness across the eurozone.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1314\" data-end=\"2002\">UK stocks dropped and ended the week lower as energy and financial stocks underperformed. Housing data added little relief, as Halifax reported that UK home prices were flat in November, underscoring ongoing weakness in the property market and consumer weariness. Meanwhile, the political debate intensified as Foreign Secretary David Lammy argued that rejoining the EU customs union could help boost the British economy.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"3405\" data-end=\"3408\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"1314\" data-end=\"2002\">Corporate Stock News<\/h2>\n<h3 data-start=\"104\" data-end=\"147\"><strong data-start=\"108\" data-end=\"145\">Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
