November's tail end brought some serious relief to the markets—looks like we're back in business after that rally. Markets found their footing again, shaking off earlier uncertainty.

On a side note, there's an interesting throwback here: six decades ago, President Lyndon B. Johnson had quite the showdown with the Federal Reserve. History doesn't repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme. That power struggle between political leadership and monetary policy independence? Still echoes today when we see debates about interest rates and economic intervention.

The timing's worth noting—late November rallies have historically marked turning points, and this one seems to fit the pattern. Whether this momentum holds into year-end remains the question everyone's watching.
