Wall Street was upbeat last week. The S&P 500 index is up 5.9%, the Dow Jones has gained 4.2%, the Nasdaq has advanced 8.1% and the Russell 2000 has gained 4.6% past week. The S&P 500 logged best week since June, per CNBC.

The annual inflation rate in the United States decelerated for fourth month to 7.7% in October, the lowest since January, and below forecasts of 8%. It compares with 8.2% in September. Compared to the previous month, the CPI rose 0.4%, below expectations of 0.6% (read: 4 Sector ETFs to Win from October Inflation Data).
Global stock markets increased on Nov 10, 2022 after the latest U.S. CPI inflation eased more than that had been expected, triggering hopes that the Federal Reserve might pare down plans for more interest rate hikes.

ETFs in Focus
Physical Platinum ETF (PPLT) – Up 7.0% Past Week

Turkey iShares MSCI ETF (TUR - Free Report) – Up 4.9% Past Week
The Borsa Istanbul 100 index hit a fresh record last week as investors continued to use equities as a hedge for surging prices and a falling lira. The central bank has been slashing rates massively, adding to the 850 bps reduction of the key rate since September 2021, per tradingeconomics. This has bolstered the equity market.
SPDR S&P North American Natural Resources ETF (NANR - Free Report) – Up 4.8% Past Week
The underlying S&P BMI North American Natural Resources Index comprises publicly traded large- and mid-capitalization US and Canadian companies in the natural resources and commodities businesses and are classified within the sub-industries of one of three natural resources categories: energy, materials or agriculture. While colder weather forecasts boosted energy prices, chances of higher activity and growth in the United States have increased the prices of natural resource commodities.
US Broker-Dealers & Sec Exchange iShares ETF (IAI - Free Report) – Up 4.4% Past Week
As long-term benchmark bond yields fell last week, yield curve steepened. A steepening of the yield curve is beneficial for financial and capital market stocks and ETFs.
Steel rebar futures increased recently as Chinese authorities announced further support to the country’s giant but debt-ridden property sector, raising expectations of stronger demand for construction inputs.
