(US) Market Trading Hours Summary: Falling rates and weakening dollar allow for continued stock momentum

Tue, 25 Oct 2022 10:42 AM EST


Summary

Investors digested a fresh batch of earnings reports and continued softening in the US economic data, allowing markets to rally further. Major indices were testing six-week highs while the US dollar index drifted towards the lowest level in about three weeks. Rates retreated notably on both sides of the Atlantic. Overall volumes were solid, helped in part by earnings season, while the VIX trended lower. Earnings standouts included KO, UPS, and GM, helped in large part by their continued ability to pass along and benefit from price increases.


Overnight:

- Changing of the guard and return of fiscal rectitude. Sunak will be appointed prime minister by King Charles III and replaces Liz Truss today and to form Govt. Pullback in UK Gilt yields seeming to suggest market approval of Sunak's appointment and hope of future financial stability

-Recession theme throughout Europe as both German IFO economists and Euro Zone bank lending survey warned of winter recession. JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs CEO's noted seeing recession risk across US and Europe. German IFO survey slightly beat estimates but sentiment still following weak European PMI's from yesterday.
