Stock market on October 9: S&P 500 and NASDAQ set new all-time highs

Yesterday, US stock indices closed with sharp gains. The S&P 500 rose by 0.58%, while the Nasdaq 100 jumped by 1.12%. The industrial Dow Jones added 0.01%.

Equities continued their bullish run as renewed buying of AI-related companies spurred stock gains in Asia. The MSCI World Index climbed for the ninth time in 10 sessions, while Asian equities added 0.4%, led primarily by technology companies such as SoftBank Group Corp. HSBC Holdings Plc shares fell on news that the company plans to privatize one of its banking subsidiaries, while mainland Chinese stocks surged by 1.6% as markets reopened after a break. US equity futures remained unchanged.

Gold retreated from its record high, yet remained above $4,000 as traders took some profits following the explosive rally and a pullback in safe-haven demand. Copper approached a record. Oil prices fluctuated after US President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Hamas had signed the first stage of a peace plan.

The rise in Asian equities followed the latest record closures on US indices. Traders, disregarding concerns about a potential bubble in large technology firms, focused on corporate resilience and the resumption of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. This positive momentum from overseas markets, where the S&P 500 and Nasdaq reached fresh all-time highs, quickly spilled over into the Asian session. Expectations of additional Fed rate cuts by year-end are fueling risk appetite, particularly against the backdrop of global disinflation.

According to the Amundi Investment Institute, investors seem to be focusing on earnings given the uneven expectations and stretched valuations.

In other market segments, the yen weakened, reaching its lowest level against the dollar since February. The US dollar index declined for the first time in four sessions after recent gains.

In geopolitical news, Trump announced that Israel and Hamas have agreed on the terms for releasing all hostages held by the Palestinian militant group in the Gaza Strip, marking a major breakthrough in negotiations brokered by the US and Qatar aimed at ending the two-year war. If the agreement is finalized, it will represent a significant step toward resolving the conflict that erupted after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, plunging the Middle East into crisis.

In European news, French President Emmanuel Macron stated that he will name a new prime minister by Friday evening, thus avoiding for now the need to call snap elections that could have deepened political chaos in France.

As for the technical analysis of the S&P 500, the main objective for buyers today will be to break through the nearest resistance level of $6,756. This would help facilitate a further rally and open the possibility for a move to the next level of $6,769. No less important for bulls will be maintaining control over $6,784, which would strengthen buyer positioning. In the event of a downward move amid weakening risk appetite, buyers must step in around $6,743. A break below this level would quickly send the instrument back to $6,727 and open the way to $6,711.
