Stock market today: Stocks climb as Treasury yields ease, but weekly losses loom

Published On Oct 25, 2024, 9:31 AM

US stocks showed a slight recovery on Friday, with the S&P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq all rising as Treasury yields declined, alleviating pressure on the stock market. Despite this, the market is on track for weekly losses due to prior concerns over Federal Reserve interest rate decisions. Upcoming economic indicators and significant earnings reports, especially from major tech firms, are being closely monitored by investors. Notably, Tesla's recent earnings exceeded expectations, impacting market sentiment, while Capri Holdings' stock plummeted after a failed merger with Tapestry.

Stock Forecasts

The market's rebound signals a cautious optimism due to falling Treasury yields. However, uncertainty regarding the Fed's next moves may lead to volatility. Investors should keep an eye on earnings reports from major tech companies next week, which could significantly influence market trends if they outperform or underperform expectations.

Capri's significant drop in stock price following the blocked merger indicates investor reactions to negative news. The failed merger may lead to a reevaluation of Capri's growth prospects, which suggests further downward pressure on the stock in the near term.
