Ep98: Gentle Ripples Before Thanksgiving - November 26th, 2025

Tonight’s episode of The Gentle Ledger brings a soft rise across U.S. markets as the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all extend their winning streak heading into the Thanksgiving holiday. We gently walk through Costco’s steady climb, the broader rotation toward value-anchored names, and the quieter tone in megacap tech as investors balance optimism with restraint. Overseas, Asia and Europe echo the day’s cautious lift, supported by easing yields and calmer macro signals. In commodities, gold firms and oil steadies, while Bitcoin drifts near the $87,000 range in a consolidation phase. We end with a peaceful reflection on the market’s mood—a mix of hope, balance, and quiet anticipation for what lies ahead. Breathe deeply, settle in, and let the day’s financial currents ease you into the night.
