US stocks ended Friday lower as earnings updates and Middle East tensions weighed on sentiment, with the Dow leading the declines. Treasury yields rebounded after Thursday’s sharp drop, while the dollar strengthened. Oil rose more than 3% as further Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia heightened supply concerns, keeping crude near six-month highs. Gold slipped below $4,000 as the firmer dollar and rising yields added pressure. Today’s calendar is relatively quiet, with Germany’s Ifo business climate survey in focus, while fresh geopolitical headlines could keep energy markets volatile.

US markets finished mixed Thursday as renewed AI concerns drove a technology selloff, sending the Nasdaq down 2.60% while the Dow held steady. Treasury yields tumbled and the dollar edged lower, yet gold fell to its lowest levels since early August. Oil surged as further Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia heightened supply concerns. Today’s focus is UK retail sales and Flash PMI releases across Europe, the UK and the US.

US stocks rose Wednesday as technology shares regained favour ahead of key earnings. Tesla’s adjusted EPS beat expectations after the close, while Meta raised the lower end of its capital-spending guidance as AI investment remained in focus. Treasury yields edged higher, the dollar was broadly steady and gold rose modestly. Oil finished mixed, with Middle East supply risks and uncertain diplomatic prospects keeping traders alert. Markets will assess today’s New Zealand inflation release while awaiting US weekly jobless claims, with earnings reactions and geopolitical headlines likely to drive volatility.

US stocks finished mixed Tuesday, with the Dow leading gains while technology shares stalled. Treasury yields were mixed and the dollar weakened, while gold also edged lower. Oil reversed sharply from early highs as hopes for diplomatic progress between the US and Iran eased supply concerns, although no new peace agreement has been confirmed. Today’s focus is UK CPI and PPI, followed by Andrew Bailey’s comments and US crude inventories. Inflation surprises and fresh diplomatic headlines could shift interest-rate expectations and keep equities, currencies and commodities volatile.

US markets finished mixed Monday as AI-linked technology stocks rebounded ahead of key Q3 earnings. European stocks and government bonds sold off as unrest in France unsettled investors. US Treasury yields and the dollar rose, weighing on gold, while oil diverged amid persistent Middle East supply risks. Today’s focus turns to China’s loan prime rate updates and UK employment figures. The releases could reshape expectations for growth and monetary policy, while earnings and geopolitical headlines may sustain volatility across equities, currencies and commodities.

US equities fell Friday, with technology stocks leading the retreat as the Q3 earnings season unfolds. Treasury yields were mixed and the dollar weakened, while gold edged lower. Oil surged as escalating Middle East tensions and deteriorating US–Ukraine relations heightened concerns over global supply. Geopolitical headlines remain central as the new trading week begins, with traders watching for further energy-market volatility. Today’s Chinese GDP, industrial production and retail sales releases, followed by Canadian CPI, could provide fresh signals on growth and inflation, potentially shifting interest-rate expectations and sentiment across currencies, commodities and equities.

US equities advanced Thursday, led by the Dow, while technology shares made only modest gains. Treasury yields fell sharply despite stronger US data, and the weaker dollar helped gold rebound from recent support. Oil diverged, with a large US crude inventory draw lifting WTI while Brent edged lower. Today’s relatively light economic calendar puts comments from Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey and Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem in focus. Signals on the policy outlook could reshape rate expectations and drive volatility across currencies, bonds and equities.

US equities fell Wednesday as hotter-than-expected inflation revived concerns over further Fed rate hikes, with technology stocks leading the selloff. Treasury yields were mixed, while a stronger dollar pressured gold towards recent support. Oil rose as Middle East supply risks remained in focus, with WTI outperforming Brent. Today’s attention shifts to Australian employment, UK GDP and a packed US calendar featuring PPI, retail sales, the Philly Fed survey and weekly jobless claims. Surprises in inflation or growth could reshape rate expectations and fuel volatility across currencies, bonds and equities.

US stocks closed lower amid mixed bank earnings, while Fed official John Williams signaled another possible rate hike in 2026 but none expected in 2027.
Treasury yields diverged, with short-term yields rising and longer-term yields falling, while the US dollar weakened ahead of key inflation data.
Oil prices were mixed amid Middle East supply concerns, while gold edged lower under pressure from elevated yields.
Today's key focus: US CPI data and central bank commentary at the IMF meetings in Bangkok, both of which could trigger significant volatility across currencies, bonds, equities and commodities.

US equities finished mixed Monday as technology shares came under pressure in holiday-thinned trading, with the Dow advancing while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq slipped. US bond markets were closed for Columbus Day, so the latest Treasury yields were carried forward rather than reflecting a new trading session. The dollar extended its gains and weighed on gold, while further Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia and the resulting closure of Riyadh airport intensified regional security concerns and lifted oil prices. Today’s RBA meeting minutes may provide clues on Australia’s monetary policy outlook, followed by US existing home sales as a fresh indicator of housing activity. With relatively few scheduled releases, Middle East headlines could remain the main driver of volatility across currencies, commodities and equities. Further escalation could reinforce oil supply concerns, while continued dollar strength may keep gold under pressure despite geopolitical uncertainty.

US equities ended the week higher, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq near record levels as investors looked toward a new earnings season. Treasury yields and the dollar edged higher, while oil extended gains and Brent stayed above $104; gold also climbed to a one-week high after holding support below $4,100. Weekend attacks on Riyadh airport have raised concern over further Middle East escalation, putting energy supply risk at the centre of the new week. Japan and Canada are closed, while US equities remain open despite the Columbus Day bank and bond-market holiday, leaving liquidity conditions uneven as markets react to geopolitical developments.

[Spec Markets @SpecCapital]

US equities finished mixed as Middle East risks and higher oil weighed on technology shares, pushing the Nasdaq 1.25% lower while the Dow edged higher. Treasury yields fell across the curve following the 30-year auction, and the dollar softened modestly, though inflation concerns and still-elevated yields remain important market constraints. Oil surged on renewed supply-risk concerns, with Brent finishing above $103, while gold extended its recovery. Canadian employment data, US consumer sentiment and inflation expectations are the key scheduled catalysts, but fresh Middle East headlines are likely to remain the dominant driver into the weekend.

US equities eased from record levels after the latest FOMC minutes kept markets focused on elevated Treasury yields. The Dow led losses while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq retreated more modestly, and dollar strength pushed the euro back toward annual lows. Commodities were mixed: oil remained choppy as Middle East supply risks competed with the IEA’s planned diesel-stock release, while gold touched a two-month low under pressure from higher yields and the stronger dollar. Attention now turns to UK central-bank commentary, US weekly jobless claims and the 30-year Treasury auction, alongside fresh Middle East headlines.

[Spec Markets @SpecCapital]

US equities extended their rally as falling Treasury yields helped the S&P 500 and Nasdaq reach fresh record highs, while attention began to shift towards the third-quarter earnings season. The dollar also eased, helping gold rebound from recent support.
Oil moved modestly higher as the market balanced ongoing supply risks against rising export volumes. With China still on holiday, early trading may remain subdued before New York-session catalysts take focus.
US crude inventories, the 10-year Treasury auction and the FOMC Meeting Minutes are the key events ahead. Markets will be watching for signals on the balance of views among policymakers following the recent repricing of Federal Reserve expectations.

US equities extended their rally as Friday’s softer employment data kept expectations alive that the Federal Reserve may hold rates steady this month. Technology shares led again, pushing the Nasdaq to another record high while the S&P 500 also advanced.

Beneath the equity strength, short-dated Treasury yields eased while longer-dated yields continued to climb. The US dollar strengthened as the euro reached a 17-month low. Oil retreated as Middle Eastern export volumes increased despite ongoing conflict, while gold edged lower near key technical support.

Governor Ueda’s comments and fresh geopolitical headlines now take centre stage for broader risk sentiment.

Friday’s softer US employment report lifted equities and reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve may hold rates at its October meeting. Yet Treasury yields finished higher, oil fell after the agreement to release diesel reserves, and geopolitics remains an important cross-asset risk.

This week, the FOMC Meeting Minutes will be closely watched for signals on inflation, growth and labour-market conditions. US ISM Services PMI, Bank of Japan Governor Ueda’s remarks, US crude inventories, the 10-year Treasury auction, Canadian employment data and consumer sentiment will also shape the market agenda.

US equities edged higher as markets positioned cautiously ahead of today’s US employment report. The 10-year Treasury yield briefly reached its highest level since 2002 before retreating, while the US dollar extended to fresh yearly highs.

Oil surged after reports that Chinese refiners restricted fuel exports beyond Hong Kong and Macau, alongside reports of potential additional US military deployments to the Middle East. Gold also advanced as yields pulled back.

Today’s Tokyo CPI, Eurozone CPI and US non-farm payrolls, unemployment and wage data will be central for global rate expectations and cross-asset volatility.
