3:53Now PlayingDarius Dale, Founder and CEO at 42 Macro, shares his outlook for risk assets.
Wall Street traders drove stocks higher amid solid results from Corporate America while tariff tensions between the world’s two largest economies cooled. Bitcoin jumped. Bond yields edged lower.
With the earnings season now well underway, about 85% of the companies in the S&P 500 have beaten profit estimates. That’s helped fuel a rebound in equities, which also gained steam as President Donald Trump said the US will “be fine” with China just before the two sides return to the negotiating table.
“We are seeing the typical seasonal volatility in October, but the recent swings have been relatively shallow by historical standards, as the buy the dip mentality appears to be in play,” said Rick Gardner at RGA Investments.
Gardner says the next big test may be big tech earnings as investors will be looking for more clarity on how spending on artificial intelligence is leading to profitability. Among notable results this week is Tesla Inc. China’s tightening grip on rare earths exports will likely be discussed at Intel Corp.’s and Texas Instruments Inc.’s calls.
The S&P 500 topped 6,700. Apple Inc. hit its first record of 2025 as Loop Capital upgraded the stock to buy, the latest firm to cite more positive iPhone demand trends. A gauge of tech megacaps climbed 1.3%. The Russell 2000 index of small firms added 1.6%.
Deutsche Bank AG strategists noted that overall equity positioning tumbled last week and sentiment fell to net bearish. Meantime, Morgan Stanley’s Michael Wilson said that there needs to be follow through on a US-China deal and stability in earnings revisions to clear the risk of a further correction in stocks.
The yield on 10-year Treasuries fell one basis point to 4%. Bitcoin climbed 2%. The dollar wavered.
