Stocks to be range-bound as holiday approaches

Trading volume is expected to thin leading up to Thursday, when financial markets will be closed. Equity trading will finish early on Friday and the bond market will close early on Wednesday and Friday.
The jump into the holiday shopping season will begin on "Black Friday," the day after Thanksgiving (24th Nov) when consumers traditionally pack the stores to look for price bargains.
Market players will be keen to see how retail sales perform that day, as a yardstick for measuring demand through the full holiday season.
