The IPO Buzz: Light Traffic Amid U.S. Election Results & Fed Rate-Cut Watch

The IPO Calendar is light this week as Wall Street celebrates Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election, as Bloomberg reported. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped more than 1,000 points at the opening today – following through on the forecast from U.S. stock futures, which had rocketed higher while U.S. Treasury bond yields jumped. U.S. banks and investment banks expect much lighter regulation under Trump’s second administration. The Street also expects the Fed to cut benchmark U.S. interest rates again during its two-day meeting, which begins today – Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2024 – and concludes tomorrow afternoon on Thursday, Nov. 7, 2024, as Mint.com noted in its report. 

Only four deals – two uplistings and two IPOs – are set for pricing, according to this week’s IPO Calendar. Two of those deals are micro-sized NASDAQ uplistings. A large SPAC IPO – Willow Lane Acquisition Corp. (WLACU Proposed) – aims to raise $110 million, while a tiny IPO – zSpace (ZSPC Proposed) – intends to raise $10.0 million, according to the IPO Calendar.

Stay tuned.
