- As some investors speculated that a period of disinflation has already started and that the results of the midterm elections will be positive for markets, US equity-index futures increased and a bond selloff came to a halt.
- Following a loss earlier, contracts for the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 indices both increased by at least 0.4%. Only the two-year yield was higher on the day after most treasuries recovered their losses. The dollar lost its gains, and oil saw a reduction in losses. On plans for employment cuts, Meta Platforms surged in New York premarket trading.
- In spite of the fact that sentiment is still shaky ahead of the US midterm elections and the inflation report, the risk-on reversal following a lackluster European opening may indicate a brief victory for bulls. According to strategists at JPMorgan, a probable high in bond yields and an extremely depressed mood may benefit stocks. According to Morgan Stanley, investors can anticipate advantageous election-related developments.
- The Federal Reserve's steadfast fight against price increases, indications of stress in US corporate performance, and China's pledge that it will unwaveringly adhere to the present COVID-19 zero policy are all temporarily overshadowed by the period of optimism.
