The nights are growing cold

Final note

Whilst November has started on a very positive note, the collective of world equity markets had a distinctly bearish October. There is no reason not to expect lower lows into year end. 

Even if you dismiss the various geo-political wild cards - not least Gaza/Israel, the technical setup leans bearish into year end/early 2024. 

I'm well aware of a number out there who are touting a broad run to new historic highs.
My only polite response is... Good luck with that.
