>>> What to look at today - 5th of November 2021

Asian stocks dipped Friday and U.S. futures were steady as a global equity rally paused. Sovereign bonds held gains after investors scaled back expectations about monetary-policy tightening to quell inflation. 
Shares fell in Japan and Hong Kong, where developer Kaisa Group Holdings Ltd. and its Hong Kong-listed units were suspended from trading in the latest sign of stress from China’s troubled property sector. S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and European futures fluctuated after tech shares led Wall Street to a record high. 
Crude oil advanced. Saudi Arabia and its OPEC+ allies rebuffed U.S. President Joe Biden’s pleas for a large production boost. That leaves Biden with the option of tapping the U.S. strategic reserve.
The focus turns to the U.S. jobs report due Friday since the level of progress on employment could shift views on monetary policy again, heralding further volatility in the bond market. Stocks are riding out such gyrations so far: solid U.S. earnings appear to have reassured investors that the economic recovery can weather pandemic-related supply chain and labor disruptions.
China’s government bonds were set for their biggest weekly advance since July after the nation’s central bank increased its injection of short-term cash.
