Market Analysis

U.S. equities advanced on Monday, with the Nasdaq Composite setting a record high as megacap technology stocks, including Nvidia and Microsoft, led the market higher. Investors welcomed a pullback in oil while showing notable tolerance for rising Treasury yields. The S&P 500 gained 0.66% to 7,773.95, the Nasdaq rose 1.05% to 27,477.31, and the Dow added 0.18% to 51,267.90.

The move extended the Nasdaq’s second consecutive strong advance after September payrolls came in below expectations, sharply reducing rate-hike expectations for the October FOMC meeting. Traders now price a 24% probability of a hike, down from roughly 70% a week ago.

Oil eased as Middle East crude exports increased and the G7 pledged to add supply. Brent futures settled down 1.89% at $100.32 a barrel. Even so, long-dated Treasury yields kept climbing: the 10-year yield rose about three basis points to 5.31%, after touching 5.349% intraday—its highest level since 2002—while the 30-year yield rose more than three basis points to 5.664%.

B. Riley Wealth chief market strategist Art Hogan said investors were looking for positive catalysts in a light economic-data week and found one in the sharp energy-price decline. U.S. earnings season begins next week, led by large banks; LSEG data show analysts expect aggregate S&P 500 third-quarter earnings growth of more than 30%, driven largely by AI-related stocks.

Citi strategist Beata Manthey said the S&P 500 is still up about 13% year to date and remains close to its record high despite geopolitical and rate headwinds. Citi’s base case remains that the market can stay resilient, while acknowledging that elevated uncertainty could still require a correction to better reflect the risk backdrop.

Key Takeaway: Record technology leadership and easing oil prices supported risk appetite even as long-term yields rose. With October hike odds falling to 24%, the next test is whether AI-led earnings can justify elevated equity valuations against a still-demanding macro backdrop.

COPPER SUPPLY WATCH

Key Drivers: BHP has sought government-led mediation after supervisors at Chile’s Escondida mine rejected the company’s final offer and authorized strike action. Escondida is the world’s largest copper mine, making the negotiations a focal point for near-term supply risk.
Outlook: Mediation provides a defined window to reach agreement before legal industrial action. A prolonged stoppage could tighten copper supply expectations, but no production impact from the dispute has been reported so far.

SHIPPING & LOGISTICS

Market Dynamics: The BDI dropped 78 points on Monday to 3,070, its lowest since late August, as Capesize rates fell 4.2% to 4,833 and Panamax rates eased 0.3% to 2,364. The latest official SCFI remains 3,662.30, down 24.32 points week over week as of its September 30 release.
Outlook: Dry-bulk conditions have softened while the container benchmark remains below the prior weekly reading. Monitor post-holiday cargo flows, Capesize availability, China iron-ore demand and any carrier capacity adjustments.
