On Friday, November 22, U.S. markets closed higher, with all major indexes recording weekly gains. Optimism was driven by robust U.S. business activity and expectations of interest rate cuts.
However, tech faced pressure as Alphabet fell amid antitrust scrutiny, and Nvidia slipped following a cautious forecast. Investors also weighed geopolitical tensions, including Ukraine-Russia conflicts, and anticipated key developments, such as Trump&#8217;s Treasury Secretary selection.
According to economic data, the S&amp;P Global U.S. Services PMI rose to 57 in November from 55, while Manufacturing PMI edged up to 48.8 from 48.5. However, U.S. consumer sentiment dropped to 71.8, down from a preliminary 73 reading.
Industrials, financials, and consumer discretionary stocks led S&amp;P 500 gains Friday, while utilities and communication services lagged.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.97% and closed at 44,296.51, the S&amp;P 500 gained 0.35% to 5,969.30, and the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.16% to finish at 19,003.65.

Asia Mixed, Europe Mostly In Red; Dollar Hits 13-Month High - Global Markets Today While US Slept

Texas Governor&nbsp;Greg Abbott (R-Texas) has directed state agencies to cease investments in China and divest existing ones. This decision, announced in a letter dated Nov. 21, highlights security and financial risks associated with Chinese investments, 
What Happened: Abbott&#8217;s directive argues that this aggression could elevate the financial risks tied to Chinese investments. The governor&#8217;s letter explicitly bans Texas investing entities from making new investments in China.
Moreover, Abbott has instructed these entities to divest from any current Chinese investments at the earliest feasible opportunity. 
&#8220;Texas will defend and safeguard itself and our public treasury from any potential threat, including those posed by the CCP,&#8221; the statement read.

Why It Matters: The directive from Governor Abbott comes amid escalating U.S.-China tensions. Recently, the U.S. House of Representatives advanced two Republican bills aiming to reinstate the U.S. Justice Department's "China Initiative." This initiative seeks to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40831428/house-gop-advances-bills-to-reinstate-justice-departments-china-initiative-despite-white-house-disap">curb espionage activities</a> targeting U.S. intellectual property and academic institutions. The bills were part of the House Republican's &#8220;China Week,&#8221; which saw over two dozen China-related legislative measures passed.
President-elect Donald Trump has proposed to impose 60% tariff on Chinese goods. Chinese President Xi Jinping recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42025284/xi-jinping-tells-joe-biden-china-is-ready-to-work-with-trump-as-tariff-threat-looms">expressed a willingness</a> to collaborate with the U.S. government, regardless of the administration in power. This statement was made during a meeting with President Joe Biden at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Lima. 
Meanwhile, ETFs that allow investment into China have dropped during the past one month. As of Nov. 22nd, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KWEB#NYSE">KWEB</a>) has dropped by 5.97% while iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NYSE">FXI</a>) fell by 5.13%.

Asia And Europe Markets Mixed; Dollar Hovers Near 52-Week High - Global Markets Today While US Slept

<a href="https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/international/2024/11/20/jj-merck-cut-jobs-in-china-as-local-competition-takes-toll/#:~:text=Both%20US%20drug%20giants%20have,diabetes%20unit%2C%20the%20people%20said.">https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/international/2024/11/20/jj-merck-cut-jobs-in-china-as-local-competition-takes-toll/#:~:text=Both%20US%20drug%20giants%20have,diabetes%20unit%2C%20the%20people%20said.</a>
Johnson &amp; Johnson and Merck &amp; Co. are cutting jobs in China, as they face growing competition from domestic rivals resulting from Beijing's campaign to drive down medical costs.
Both US drug giants have laid off employees in China in recent days, according to people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified discussing internal matters. The J&amp;J cuts mainly impacted a division that sells products used in surgery, while Merck scaled back in its diabetes unit, the people said.&nbsp;
Chinese media outlets, which were first to report the redundancies, cited the J&amp;J layoffs to be as much as a fifth of its mainland workforce. J&amp;J employs nearly 10,000 people across some 90 cities in China, according to its website.&nbsp;
J&amp;J "has recently implemented organizational changes to optimise our business operations" in the country, a company spokesperson told Bloomberg in an email. J&amp;J remains committed to the "critical and growing" China market, the spokesperson added.&nbsp;
Merck didn't immediately reply to a request for comment outside regular business hours.&nbsp;
Multinational drug and medical device makers are grappling with narrower profit margins in China, largely due to the country's system of having companies bid to supply drugs and devices to public hospitals — known as volume-based procurement (VBP). The program has seen global pharmaceutical companies lose hospital contracts for their top off-patent drugs and devices to cheaper local suppliers, essentially putting their sales team out of work in those categories.
The layoffs add to turmoil in the pharmaceutical market in China. Once seen as a big market opportunity for global drugmakers to expand, they've come under regulatory pressure on multiple fronts. AstraZeneca, which has seen China revenue growth slow due in part to losing hospital contracts for its off-patent medicines, is facing a criminal investigation into allegedly illegal sales practices which has ensnared its China chief.&nbsp;
In a recent earnings call, J&amp;J executives acknowledged a "disproportionate impact from VBP" thanks to its being the largest medtech company in China. The layoffs are the first major round of redundancies affecting the company's surgery division, a person familiar with the matter said, though layoffs in other departments have been ongoing for some time.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, Merck is set to face off against local suppliers for generic versions of two major diabetes drugs – Januvia and Janumet – in the latest round of VBP tender submissions.&nbsp;

Asia Mixed, Europe Markets Gain; Gold Slips And Dollar Gains Against Yen - Global Markets Today While US Slept

Major Chinese fund companies have&nbsp;announced a reduction in fees&nbsp;for a selection&nbsp;of equity exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This move intensifies the price war in the booming $400 billion ETF market.
What Happened: The fee cuts come a day after&nbsp;Wu Qing, China&#8217;s chief securities regulator, expressed support for index investment and fee reform in the fund industry. ETFs, which&nbsp;typically track an index and&nbsp;trade on exchanges, have seen significant growth this year as investors turn away from underperforming active fund managers, Reuters&nbsp;reported on Wednesday.
China Asset Management Co&nbsp;(ChinaAMC), leading the ETF market, announced it would reduce fees on&nbsp;eight ETF products, including the&nbsp;160 billion yuan China SSE 50 ETF. The management fee will drop to 0.15% from 0.5%, and the custodian fee to 0.05% from 0.1%.

Other fund companies such as&nbsp;E Fund Management,&nbsp;Huatai-PineBridge Fund Management,&nbsp;Harvest Fund Management, and&nbsp;HuaAn Fund Management&nbsp;have made similar announcements. This trend is expected to attract more capital into the market, with net inflows into China&#8217;s onshore ETFs surpassing 900 billion yuan this year, according to BNP Paribas. 
Why It Matters: The fee reduction by major Chinese fund companies comes amid a backdrop of economic measures and market fluctuations. In October, investor sentiment was dampened when anticipated large-scale economic stimulus measures from Chinese authorities did not materialize. Despite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41316058/chinese-stocks-etfs-struggle-as-multi-trillion-yuan-stimulus-hopes-fall-short-yet-m">signals of increased fiscal support,</a> the absence of a substantial economic package left traders underwhelmed.
Furthermore, China&#8217;s decision to cut interest rates in late October led to a decline in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41426987/us-listed-chinese-etfs-drop-after-beijing-cuts-interest-rates">several China-focused ETFs</a> in the U.S. This move, aimed at stimulating economic growth, instead raised concerns among investors about its broader implications.
Meanwhile, U.S.-listed Chinese ETFs have been providing American investors exposure to Chinese equities, bonds, or a combination of both, while being traded on U.S. stock exchanges. These ETFs are a convenient way for investors to gain diversified exposure to China&#8217;s economic growth without the complexities of directly investing in foreign markets. According to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KWEB#NYSE">KWEB</a>), iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NYSE">FXI</a>), Invesco Golden Dragon China ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PGJ#NASDAQ">PGJ</a>), and iShares MSCI China ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCHI#NASDAQ">MCHI</a>) are some of the popular names on the list.
