U.S. Stocks Show Strong Move Back To The Upside After Last Friday’s Sell-Off

After moving sharply higher early in the session, stocks gave back some ground over the course of the trading day on Monday but continued to turn in a strong performance. With the upward move, the markets largely offset the steep losses seen during Friday’s session.

The major averages all ended the day firmly in positive territory, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq posting a standout gain. The Nasdaq jumped 294.39 points or 1.5 percent to 19,701.21, the S&P 500 advanced 56.14 points or 0.9 percent to 6,033.11 and the Dow climbed 317.30 points or 0.8 percent at 42,515.09.

The early rally on Wall Street came as traders looked to pick up stocks at somewhat reduced levels following the previous session’s nosedive, which came after Israel launched a series of airstrikes against Iran.

While the clash between Israel and Iran continued over the weekend, traders appear optimistic the conflict will remain relatively contained.

A report from the Wall Street Journal citing Middle Eastern and European officials said Iran has been urgently signaling that it seeks an end to hostilities and resumption of talks over its nuclear programs.

“Despite a weekend of violence between the two countries, investors showed no signs of panicking, judging by movements in financial markets on Monday,” said Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell.

However, he added, “The Middle East conflict remains a fluid situation and there is the potential for markets to still experience sudden jolts if the tension escalates further.”

The rebound on Wall Street also came as traders looked ahead to a meeting of major world leaders at the G7 summit in the Canadian Rockies later this week.

Traders will be looking to the meeting for signs of progress on trade deals ahead of the end of President Donald Trump’s 90-day pause on “reciprocal tariffs” early next month.

The Federal Reserve’s latest monetary policy announcement is also likely to attract attention from traders in the coming days.

While the central bank is widely expected to leave interest rates unchanged, the accompanying statement and Fed officials’ latest projections may provide more clarity about the outlook for rates.

Sector News

Airline stocks showed a substantial move back to the upside after moving sharply lower over the past few sessions, with the NYSE Arca Airline Index soaring by 3.3 percent.

Significant strength was also visible among semiconductor stocks, as reflected by the 3.0 percent surge by the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index.

Computer hardware, financial and telecom stocks also considerable strength, while pharmaceutical and oil service stocks bucked the uptrend.

Other Markets

In overseas trading, stock markets across the Asia-Pacific region moved mostly higher during trading on Monday. Japan’s Nikkei 225 Index jumped by 1.3 percent, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index climbed by 0.7 percent.

The major European markets have also moved to the upside on the day. While the U.K.’s FTSE 100 Index rose by 0.3 percent, the French CAC 40 Index and the German DAX Index both advanced by 0.8 percent.

In the bond market, treasuries are showing a lack of direction following the pullback seen last Friday. The yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, is currently down by less than a basis point at 4.416 percent.

Looking Ahead

Trading on Tuesday may be impacted by reaction to a batch of U.S. economic data, including reports on retail sales and industrial production.

Yes, that’s a cartoon of me. Louis Rukeyser had us dressed up in ‘elf’ costumes on the screen broadcast each week. I’ve dated myself. That occurred for me between 1988-1996. Lou didn’t like any bearish comments, so myself and other elves got dumped in 1996.
