Market sentiment was decisively in the risk-on camp this week, as a softer reading on October inflation and signs of slowing consumer spending fueled expectations of a longer Fed pause. Also providing a lift to equities was Congress acting to pass yet another short-term funding bill that avoids an immediate government shutdown by extending current levels of spending through mid-January. The S&P 500 is shaping up to end the week 2% higher – extending its winning streak to three-consecutive weeks. Longer-term yields traded lower, with the 10-year Treasury ending the week down 18 basis-points to 4.43%.
