Listeners, today the United States stock market finished the week with a strong rebound, especially in technology shares, powered by impressive earnings from both Apple and Amazon. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained around twenty-six points, to close at forty-seven thousand five hundred forty-nine, up just a fraction. The Standard and Poor’s Five Hundred rose nearly thirty points, or more than four tenths of a percent, finishing at six thousand eight hundred fifty-two. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite rallied two hundred twelve points, a rise of nearly one percent, ending at twenty-three thousand seven hundred ninety-five. The momentum was driven by Apple’s report of almost eight percent quarterly revenue growth, with an optimistic forecast of holiday quarter sales expected to rise ten to twelve percent year-over-year. Amazon also outperformed, with its cloud division showing robust growth and total quarterly sales up thirteen percent to one hundred eighty billion United States dollars, reassuring technology investors.
Technology led sector gains, with Apple, Amazon, Reddit, Coinbase, Roku, Twilio, and Western Digital all notching significant increases after strong earnings. Energy giants Chevron and ExxonMobil posted solid results as well, supporting their sectors. Conversely, some notable decliners included Gallagher, down about six percent after missing earnings estimates, and Newell Brands, plunging thirty percent on a weak outlook and lower forecasted earnings.
Market highlights included heightened trading activity in Apple and Amazon, both moving sharply higher following their reports. Netflix surged on news of a ten-for-one stock split and potential merger activity. Reddit jumped fourteen percent on outstanding advertising revenue and daily user growth. Some of the biggest losers today were Newell Brands and SPS Commerce, hit hard by disappointing guidance.
From the macro perspective, the only major economic data point was the Chicago Purchasing Managers’ Index coming in at forty-three point eight for October, ahead of estimates. Investors kept an eye on the government shutdown, now at day thirty-one with pending risks to American social assistance. Overseas, China’s manufacturing sector remained in contraction, adding some caution to the global outlook.
Looking ahead, futures are pointing to a steady start for tomorrow, with a modest increase expected for the Nasdaq Composite. Over the coming days, investors will be watching another round of corporate earnings, with more than one hundred fifty companies in the Standard and Poor’s Five Hundred set to report next week. Key potential catalysts include continued signals from the Federal Reserve regarding interest rates, the ongoing government shutdown, and the outcome of the upcoming OPEC plus meeting which may affect oil prices.
