AMERICAN SHARES
Wall Street opens in green on Monday, according to US futures.
Wall Street is closed on Friday. Investors were nervous towards the weekend due to the uncertainty surrounding the American election results.
The important US jobs report received less attention than usual on Friday because of the elections, as did the Federal Reserve’s less exciting interest rate decision the day before. However, the job growth of 638,000 in October was strong and points to a continued recovery in the US labor market.
The pace of the recovery is slowing down and is mainly supported by the private sector, concluded market analyst Philip Marey of Rabobank.
Marey pointed to the growth in the number of jobs in the private sector by 903,000, while 268,000 jobs in the government were lost, according to Marey, largely due to the loss of people who had been called in before the election.
Marey also nuanced the unemployment rate in October from 6.9 percent this time. “That picture is compiled on the basis of household surveys and apparently shows a relatively high response from people who say they have a job or are not unemployed.”
The oil price fell sharply on Friday. A barrel of West Texas Intermediate became 4.3 percent cheaper at $ 37.14 at settlement. On a weekly basis, a profit of about 4 percent remained.
Company news
In the third quarter, Uber Technologies was still suffering from the corona crisis, with meal delivery again achieving higher sales than the traditional taxi service.

The loss on an annual basis was almost stable, but slightly higher than the market predicted, while turnover was slightly better than expected. The share rose 7.0 percent.
GoPro posted a significantly higher turnover in the third quarter, while a small profit remained below the line. The number of users increased rapidly. The stock was 15.7 percent higher on Friday.
Groupon posted a smaller loss in the quarter than a year earlier, but still felt the pain of the corona pandemic. The share fell 0.4 percent.
Marriott International’s results came under significant pressure in the quarter, but the company nonetheless performed better than expected. The hotel chain did not issue an outlook due to “numerous uncertainties” regarding the corona crisis. The share rose 3.0 percent.
CVS Health has again increased the outlook for the full year in the third quarter results, as it did after the publication of the half-year results. The share rose 5.48 percent.
