Monitoring for earnings releases by the Magnificent 7, AI-tech-related firms, and major financial institutions.

• AAPL Release: 2025-10-30 T:AMC
• AMZN Release: 2025-10-30 T:AMC

• GOOGL Release: 2025-10-29 T:AMC
• META Release: 2025-10-29 T:AMC

Earnings Summary and Market Conclusion:

With key tech giants set to report this week, indices futures traders should be aware that market momentum and trading volume may slow ahead of these pivotal earnings releases. On October 29, Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOGL), and Meta (META) will all announce results after the market close, followed by Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN) on October 30, also after the bell. This tightly clustered earnings schedule from MAG7 leaders means traders can expect market indecision and reduced activity as participants hold positions and await fresh data. In recent quarters, these mega-cap tech stocks have had an outsized influence on S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures direction, frequently driving post-earnings volatility and large index moves. Furthermore, positioning may remain cautious in the lead-up to subsequent anticipated results from another market driver, NVIDIA (NVDA). The combination of pending earnings from the major tech names and broader AI-related plays is likely to keep overall index moves muted until results clarify revenue and growth trajectories. In summary, as the market holds its breath ahead of these crucial tech earnings, be prepared for compressed ranges and sudden shifts once numbers hit the tape.

EcoNews Radar U.S. Events

EcoNews Summary

• Thursday 08:30 – Advance GDP q/q (High Impact): This is the most comprehensive measure of U.S. economic growth and can cause significant moves in index futures. A positive surprise suggests robust economic activity, potentially sparking bullish market sentiment, while a miss can raise recession concerns and trigger risk-off moves.
• Friday 08:30 – Core PCE Price Index m/m (High Impact): As the Fed’s preferred gauge of underlying inflation, this reading is closely watched for rate policy signals. Higher-than-expected results can stoke tightening fears, adding volatility and possible selling pressure, while softer numbers could support market rallies.
• Friday 08:30 – Employment Cost Index q/q (High Impact): This index tracks changes in labor costs, a critical inflation component. Accelerating wage growth can signal sticky inflation and amplify expectations of prolonged higher rates, while moderating readings may ease policy concerns.

EcoNews Conclusion

• This week’s double dose of high-impact Thursday and Friday morning data brings significant volatility potential for index futures during and immediately after the 08:30 releases.
• Market momentum and volume may slow in the days leading up to these major reports, as positioning and risk management take priority among larger participants.

Market News Summary

• Macro & Indices:
  – Dow Jones and Nasdaq 100 futures rallied in Asian trading amid optimism following talks between Trump and Xi Jinping and Fed policy action, but saw selling in pre-market U.S. trade as investors digested mixed earnings, policy signals, and ongoing uncertainty.
  – Fear and Greed indicators showed easing investor anxiety, though sentiment remained cautious.
  – The Federal Reserve delivered a 25bp rate cut, now at 3.75%-4.00%, but Chair Powell warned against expecting further cuts, leading to hesitancy in rate outlook and policy certainty.
• Trade & Geopolitics:
  – Key U.S.–China trade developments included a “rare earths deal,” U.S. cutting fentanyl tariffs to 10%, and market eyeing the potential for meaningful tariff relief and stronger chip access.
  – The Trump-Xi summit was described as “amazing,” producing optimism but little immediate detail, keeping the outlook uncertain.
• Commodities:
  – Oil prices were volatile, holding gains at first on U.S.–China trade optimism and inventory drawdowns, but slipping later as OPEC+ supply risk, oversupply fears and weak demand pressured the short-term outlook.
  – Natural gas consolidation continued as traders watched for OPEC+ decisions.
  – Gold demand increased on safe-haven flows due to global uncertainty and a softer dollar. Gold and silver prices steadied after the rate cut, with technicals showing gold holding above the 50-day moving average and next resistance eyed higher.
• Sector & ETF Flow:
  – Real Estate (REITs) ETFs are seen as increasingly attractive relative to S&P 500 ETFs amid the start of what appears to be a new rate cutting cycle, possibly supporting historical outperformance.
  – Product innovation in the ETF space remains active, especially given policy and macro shifts. Growth and Tech ETFs could benefit from dovish monetary policy and easing trade tensions, though Big Tech earnings remain mixed.
• Other Markets:
  – The U.S. dollar’s recent strength remains a headwind for global risk appetite, stocks, and commodities.
  – Shell outperformed with strong YTD share gains despite weaker crude pricing, while TotalEnergies reported a drop in earnings pressured by lower oil prices.

News Conclusion

• Markets are at a crossroads following a U.S. rate cut, shifting expectations for future Fed action, and cautious optimism over U.S.–China trade talks.
• While near-term sentiment improved for equity futures and certain ETF sectors, unresolved trade issues, uncertain Fed trajectory, and commodity market volatility continue to generate intraday swings and hesitancy across asset classes.
• Defensive positioning is evident in safe-haven demand, while macro and sector rotations are evident as day traders weigh opportunity and risk in a complex news-driven environment.
