S&P 500, NASDAQ EDGE UP AFTER THANKSGIVING HIATUS
The S&P 500 .SPX and Nasdaq .IXIC are higher in early trade on this shortened Friday trading session after Thursday's closure for the Thanksgiving holiday.
The U.S. benchmark is set to close out November with its biggest monthly gain of the year - currently up 5.4% for the month - and poised for its sixth month of gains out of seven.
Those gains were turbocharged after Trump's election victory at the start of the month, which has seen U.S. benchmarks power ahead of their global counterparts.
In contrast, Europe's main STOXX 600 .STOXX is up just 0.4% in November and is little changed on Friday. The pan-continental index has gained just 6% this year, compared to a more than 25% rise for the S&P 500.
With Friday's data calendar light and markets closing early, volumes are expected to be thin for the remainder of the day.
As a reminder, trading on the NYSE stops at 1300 EST today (1800 GMT).
