class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On Thursday, November 21, 2024, U.S. stock markets closed with mixed results as investors grappled with intensifying geopolitical conflicts in Europe and digested a flurry of third-quarter earnings reports. The <b><a href=\"https:\/\/stockmarketwatch.com\/markets\/dowjones\/today.aspx\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Dow Jones Today\">Dow Jones<\/a> Industrial Average (<a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock\/?stock=DJI\">DJI<\/a>)<\/b> rose 0.3% or 139.53 points to close at 43,408.47, ending a four-day decline. The <b><a href=\"https:\/\/stockmarketwatch.com\/markets\/sp500\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"snp500 today\">S&#038;P 500<\/a><\/b> inched up 0.1% to finish at 5,917.11, while the <b>tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite<\/b> slipped 0.1% to 18,966.14.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sector_Performance_and_Market_Breadth\"><\/span>Sector Performance and Market Breadth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Six out of eleven broad sectors of the S&#038;P 500 ended in positive territory. The <b>Energy Select Sector SPDR (<a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock\/?stock=XLE\">XLE<\/a>)<\/b> and the <b>Health Care Select Sector SPDR (<a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock\/?stock=XLV\">XLV<\/a>)<\/b> led the gains, up 1% and 1.2% respectively. Conversely, the <b>Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR (<a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock\/?stock=XLY\">XLY<\/a>)<\/b> and the <b>Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR (<a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock\/?stock=XLP\">XLP<\/a>)<\/b> declined 0.4% and 0.5% respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Market breadth favored decliners, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/stockmarketwatch.com\/markets\/nyse\/today.aspx\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"NYSE Today\">NYSE<\/a> seeing a 1.14-to-1 ratio and Nasdaq a 1.12-to-1 ratio of declining issues over advancing ones. The <b>CBOE Volatility Index (<a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock\/?stock=VIX\">VIX<\/a>)<\/b>, often referred to as the fear gauge, rose 5% to 17.16, indicating increased investor anxiety.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Geopolitical_Tensions_Impact_Markets\"><\/span>Geopolitical Tensions Impact Markets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Global markets, including Wall Street, experienced downward pressure following reports that Ukraine had struck the Russian border region of Bryansk with U.S.-made missiles. The escalation in the Russia-Ukraine conflict raised concerns among investors, with Russian President Vladimir Putin issuing a warning to the United States and lowering the threshold for potential nuclear strikes. This geopolitical tension cast a shadow over the ongoing market rally.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Notable_Earnings_Reports\"><\/span>Notable Earnings Reports<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Target Corporation (<a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock\/?stock=TGT\">TGT<\/a>)<\/b> reported mixed third-quarter results, with adjusted earnings of $1.85 per share missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.29. The big-box retailer&#8217;s total revenues of $25,668 million also fell short of expectations. Target provided a cautious outlook for the fourth quarter, anticipating flat comparable sales and adjusted earnings in the range of $1.85-$2.45 per share.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Upcoming_Earnings_Releases\"><\/span>Upcoming Earnings Releases<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Several major companies are set to report earnings before the market opens on November 21, 2024:<\/p>\n<p>1. <b>PDD Holdings Inc.

The ongoing developments in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and their potential impact on global markets.<br \/>2. Upcoming economic data releases and their implications for monetary policy.<br \/>3. The performance of companies reporting earnings in the coming days, particularly in the tech and retail sectors.<br \/>4.
