AGP Executive Report
Last update: 13 minutes agoMarket Rebound: US stocks added about $1 trillion in morning trading as buyers returned to technology shares after last week’s selloff; falling oil also supported the bounce. Jobs and Rates: The US added 165,000 jobs in October, well above forecasts, while unemployment dipped to 4.1%—strength that could keep rate-hike expectations alive. Capital Raising: South Korean companies raised just 36 trillion won through stocks and bonds in the first nine months, the lowest total since 2020, as tighter rules limited fundraising despite a strong stock market. Deal Outlook: Small-business buyers and sellers grew more pessimistic in Q4, with 41.9% rating the economy “bad,” up from 28.8% in Q3; many still expect more businesses to change hands. Energy Investment: The IEA projects global renewable capacity will grow by 4,800 gigawatts over five years, with Africa and Asia expected to drive much of the expansion. Saudi Property: More than 15,000 residential plots were offered through the Sakani platform by October, supporting investment momentum despite geopolitical and construction-cost pressures.
