US Stocks Trim Black Monday's Drops As Services Gauge Expands, Bond Gains Stall As Traders Reassess Fed Cuts: What's Driving Markets?
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
US stocks are attempting to recover from early losses driven by global market volatility and a 13% drop in Japan's Nikkei 225. Positive US services sector data eased recession fears, reducing the likelihood of a significant Fed rate cut. Major indices like the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq 100 saw smaller declines by midday. Bond yields rose, and the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) remained unchanged. Key stock movers included Kellanova, BioNTech, The Carlyle Group, and Tyson Foods.
