On Thursday, Nov. 25: All markets are closed, except for forex. Europe and East Asia don't celebrate thanksgiving when the Americans do, so they'll be trading during their market hours.
On Friday, Nov. 26: Fed balance sheet, money supply. The markets close early, stocks at 1 p.m. Eastern and bonds at 2 p.m.
There are 22 days before the December options expire, 57 the January and 85 the February.
On the jump, market stats, econ reports, and the trading calendar . . .
