MSD Weekly Market Update: Week Ending November 14, 2025

The past week was bereft of influential economic data. However, given the government shutdown resolution, a bevy of data should hit the calendar in the weeks ahead. Scheduling is still in a “TBA” state as of this writing. Recent private data reports have generally reflected a softening labor market and thereby kept the odds of another 25-bps Fed ease in December near the “50-50” pricing level, despite inflation-related data and sentiment remaining above the Fed’s 2% target. Essentially, a tug-of-war persists between employment and inflation forces, and these conditions should make for lively debate within the Fed regarding policy. The week ahead offers a slew of data, but much of it may still be delayed. Meanwhile, the tariff policy case before the Supreme Court will remain a topic to monitor, although potential market impacts are a bit murky at this stage.
