Market View 9th October 2023

View on market: Volatility Prevails, Market is searching for better value

As traders responded to Hamas bombings inside of Israel over the weekend that claimed hundreds of lives, oil prices increased by more than 4%. Stocks opened slightly higher in Australia, but contracts for U.S. stock futures continued to lose money and futures for Hong Kong equity rose. Due to the typhoon, Hong Kong morning trading will be delayed. There is no cash trading of Treasury bonds because the markets in South Korea and Japan are closed for a vacation. Friday’s 1.2% gain for the S&P 500 ended a four-week losing streak. Large-cap tech companies including Microsoft Corp., Apple Inc., and Nvidia Corp. helped to drive the Nasdaq 100 up 1.7%. WTI and Brent crude prices were both trading above the $86 mark at the same time.
