U.S. stocks are kicking off the week with a slight dip, as all major indices trade in the red in New York, except for the tech stocks of the Nasdaq 100, which are showing positive momentum following the release of encouraging data after Black Friday.

Initial data from Adobe and Salesforce indicates robust Black Friday online sales, slightly surpassing expectations, according to Bank of America. Overall, online sales have outperformed offline ones, a sentiment also echoed by Goldman Sachs, which noted subdued in-store traffic, with no lines forming during opening hours.

Treasury yields are once again declining as investors increasingly anticipate a soft landing for the economy. The dollar remains stable while the price of gold edges higher to reach $2,010 per ounce. Oil prices dipped with the oil producers’ meeting scheduled for Thursday.
