LONDON (ShareCast) - In defiance of expectations, the US equity markets have opened higher, though whether anyone is around to notice on 'Black Friday' - traditionally the biggest shopping day of the year in the US - is open to question. Investors will, however, be following reports on retail sales over the weekend to try to gauge consumer spending patterns heading into the all-important Christmas holiday period for retailers. US equity markets will open for half a session today, while public debt markets will remain closed in observance of Thanksgiving Day. The Dow-Jones industrial average is 89 points higher at 11,347 while the S&P 500 (SNP: ^GSPC - news) index is 9 points firmer at 1,171. The tech-laced NASDAQ Composite (Nasdaq: ^IXIC - news) is 15 points to the good at 2,475. Banks are going well on reports that European Union leaders are contemplating binning the requirement for the private sector to share the burden of the European bail-out fund.

S&P 500 Has Worst Thanksgiving Week Since ’32
By Kaitlyn Kiernan and Nikolaj Gammeltoft - Nov 26, 2011 5:01 AM GMT
...
U.S. stocks tumbled in the worst Thanksgiving-week loss for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index since 1932 as concern grew that Europe’s debt crisis will spread and American policy makers failed to reach agreement on reducing the federal budget.
Bank of America Corp., Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) Co. and Caterpillar Inc. (CAT) dropped at least 7.6 percent to lead declines in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. (INDU) Energy stocks fell the most in the S&P 500 as oil declined for a second week and as Chevron Corp. (CVX) lost 5.7 percent after it was blocked from drilling in Brazil while the government probes a recent spill. Netflix Inc. (NFLX) slid 18 percent after raising $400 million to bolster cash.
The S&P 500 slid 4.7 percent to 1,158.67, closing at the lowest level since Oct. 7. The Dow fell 564.38 points, or 4.8 percent, to 11,231.78 this week.
“We’ve resumed focus on the European debt issues,” Terry L. Morris, senior equity manager at Wyomissing, Pennsylvania- based National Penn Investors Trust Co., said in a telephone interview. His firm manages about $2.2 billion. “The situation in Europe doesn’t seem to be improving, which makes the market defensive,” he said. “Spending cuts kicking in in the U.S. will be a negative too because it will be a drag on economic growth.”
The S&P 500 (SPX) has fallen for seven days, the longest streak in four months, and has tumbled 7.6 percent so far in November. U.S. equities erased an early advance on the final session of the week as S&P lowered Belgium’s credit rating and Reuters reported that Greece is demanding private investors accept larger losses on their debt.
Debt Concerns
The cost of insuring European sovereign bonds against default rose to a record this week as Germany failed to find buyers for 35 percent of the bonds offered at an auction. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said market turbulence sparked by the euro region’s sovereign-debt crisis will last for “a few months.”
Congress’s special debt-reduction committee failed to reach an agreement this week, setting the stage for $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts and fueling concern that economic- stimulus measures that are set to expire will not be renewed. Still, S&P reaffirmed it would keep the U.S.’s credit rating at AA+ after stripping the government of its top AAA grade on Aug. 5.
Stocks fell Nov. 22 as revised Commerce Department figures showed that gross domestic product climbed at a 2 percent annual rate from July through September, less than projected and down from a 2.5 percent prior estimate. U.S. stock exchanges were shut Nov. 24 for Thanksgiving and closed three hours early on Nov. 25.
‘Macro Factors’
“The market’s not trying to distinguish between stocks right now, it’s focused almost exclusively on macro factors,” John Linehan, director of U.S. equities and a portfolio manager at T. Rowe Price Associates Inc., said at a press briefing Nov. 22 in New York. “ There’s a tremendous amount of volatility in the marketplace. The market’s on the gas pedal and the tires are spinning, but we’re really actually not going anywhere.”
Companies most-tied to the economy fell, sending the Morgan Stanley Cyclical Index down 6.2 percent, the most since the week ending Sept. 23. Caterpillar, the world’s largest construction and mining-equipment maker, dropped 7.7 percent to $86.72.
All 10 groups in the S&P 500 fell this week, led by a 6.2 percent slump in energy producers and a 5.8 percent drop in financial shares.

It looks like the fate of the world's economy has fallen to the Germans. Will they do the sensible thing and agree to ECB bond bailouts, coupled with protectionism or will they act like Samson and bring the whole rotten sytem down on everyone's heads.
So fundamental factors are in play this week.
My worry is that the German national character has shown alarming signs of death and destruction in the recent past.
So 1135 for me
