Stocks rise from recent lows as market awaits key events

  • S&P 500 futures rise from five-month low
  • Traders eye busy week with jobs data, central bank action, and Apple earnings
  • Relief that Israel-Hamas war did not escalate

U.S. stock futures, including S&P 500 futures, rebounded from a five-month low as traders prepared for a busy week filled with important market catalysts. The recent correction in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite had sparked concerns, but relief came as the Israel-Hamas conflict did not escalate further. Additionally, market focus turned to upcoming events such as Apple’s earnings report, the Treasury’s refunding announcement, and the Fed’s interest rate decision. The nonfarm payrolls jobs report on Friday will also play a crucial role in the Fed’s future deliberations. Meanwhile, the Bank of England and Bank of Japan are expected to make policy decisions that could impact the markets. Technical analysts noted that the S&P 500 is currently below its 200-day moving average, indicating a negative trend. However, some experts believe that softer data and negative positioning could help stocks break out of this trend.
