Green Wave Boosts Stocks, Bonds As Traders Embrace Fed's Stance, Await Apple Earnings: What's Driving Markets Thursday?
Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
US stocks are expected to start strong on Thursday, following the Federal Reserve's decision to pause, which has boosted market optimism. Traders are also anticipating positive earnings reports, including Apple's Q4 report. The decline in bond yields, driven by rising rate-cut expectations, could be viewed favorably by investors. Traders will also be monitoring job market data ahead of Friday’s crucial non-farm payrolls report for September. Several companies including Roku, Fastly, Etsy, Clorox, Lemonade, PayPal, Qualcomm, Starbucks, and Tandem Diabetes Care have seen significant premarket movements following their earnings releases.
