Now for a look at the global market. Wall Street stocks finished higher Monday in a positive start to the holiday-shortened Thanksgiving week. It's a historically strong period for the US equities. The high comes after pressure over worries about tax cuts in Washington and high equity valuations. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.3 percent, while the broad-based S&P 500 and the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index both rose 0.1 percent. Meanwhile, European markets also ended the session higher. That's thanks to the collapse of talks in Germany to form a new government. The German central bank said the economy will expand into the end of the year on strong industrial activity. It says firms are struggling to find enough workers to satisfy orders. Some analysts say European equities are in recovery mode.
