  • AI Rally Takes S&P 500 Above 7,800 for the First Time

    On today's episode of Market Brief – After Hours, the AI rally takes the S&P 500 above 7,800 for its first-ever close beyond that milestone, while the Nasdaq also finishes at a record high. Marvell Technology, Broadcom and AMD advance as enthusiasm for AI investment holds firm, and easing Treasury yields give equities some breathing room ahead of tomorrow's Federal Reserve minutes. But small caps fall, revealing a less united market beneath the headline records.

    European stocks rise despite a 10.6% plunge in German factory orders, while most Asian markets gain and South Korean chipmakers retreat. We examine the widening US trade deficit, oil's resilience amid competing supply pressures, and the technical outlook for EUR/USD, GBP/USD, gold and silver. Among individual movers, Ciena jumps 14%, Seagate and Western Digital slide, and Option Care Health surges more than 32% on a $5.8 billion acquisition agreement.

  • Why Did Weak US Jobs Lift Stocks While Bond Yields Rose?

    On today's episode of Market Brief – After Hours, weak US jobs data gives stocks a lift, but Treasury yields refuse to stay down. September hiring of just 29,000 strengthens expectations that the Federal Reserve will hold rates steady in October, helping the Nasdaq reach an intraday record. Yet a late rebound in bond yields takes some shine off the rally, with the 10-year yield finishing at 5.281%.

    We also examine the G7’s planned 100 million barrel reserve release, Europe’s rebound despite accelerating inflation, and Hong Kong’s sharp sell-off. Plus, technical analysis of EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD, USD/CAD and gold, alongside Synaptics’ takeover surge, Tesla’s stronger-than-expected deliveries and steep losses for Seagate Technology and Western Digital.

  • Why Cooler Inflation Failed to Lift US Stocks

    On today's episode of Market Brief – After Hours, cooler inflation delivers good news, but US stocks struggle to hold their gains. Headline PCE inflation slows to 3.4% and core inflation eases to 3%, yet stronger spending, an upward GDP revision and better-than-expected private hiring keep the higher-for-longer debate alive. The S&P 500 reverses its early advance, the Dow loses 444 points and Treasury yields climb, while the Nasdaq finishes higher.

    We review September and third-quarter returns, rising inflation across Europe and a mixed Asian session led by Japan's rally. Plus, Brent closes a month of gains exceeding 14%, gold and silver retreat, and we analyse EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/CAD. Corporate highlights include Micron's earnings beat, gains for Rogers and FormFactor, and sharp declines in Jabil and Moderna.
