Did I speak too soon ? The 3 composite indexes turned red less than an hour into trading. US 10 years treasury yield has topped 5.251%. This is bad news for stock market but US fixed deposit rate is set to scale higher. Opening a US dollar fixed deposit for short term like 3 or 6 months seems like a viable option. What do you think ? Better than losing money no, when a 'cheap' stock can become 'cheaper' in just a day later...
With minutes to go before Tuesday trading resumes, things are looking a lot brighter now, compared to this morning. US composite futures are poised to open higher, as US Treasury yields and oil prices moved lower, giving equities a much-needed reprieve. With that, VOO's is also poised to open marginally higher. Time to celebrate ?

On Mon, 28 Sep 2026 - VOO was under pressure as investors weighed elevated Treasury yields and weakening market breadth against historically favourable seasonal trends and resilient corporate earnings. As VOO tracks the market-cap-weighted S&P 500, developments affecting large technology and AI-related companies remain especially important. It fell by -0.76% (or -5.36) to 703.61.
@JC888:VOO's Historic gains, Risks to investors. Really?
According to Vanguard, as of 31 Aug 2026, the $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF(VOO)$ held roughly $1.76 trillion in total net assets and anchors retirement portfolios nationwide. Most holders treat it as a broadly diversified position across 500 companies. With an expense ratio of mere 0.03% that makes the cost nearly invisible. A $500 monthly contribution since VOO’s September 2010 launch would have grown to roughly $330,000, powered by VOO’s +825% price return over the same window. According to 24/7 Wall St, VOO’s price appreciation has been fueled almost entirely by mega-cap technology names such as $NVIDIA(NVDA)$, $Apple(AAPL)$ and
Replying to @CarterSilas:Hi, tks for reading my post and sharing your views. Really hope no more price increases, our daily lives are already so impacted...//@CarterSilas:Valuation wise, AMD’s pricing power matters more than the headline. Even a 1 to 2 point gross margin lift can move SOX sentiment fast into MU earnings.

Replying to @snugglo:Hi, tks for reading my post. All data is indicating a detoirating conditions in US economy. If you been reading my regular US economic reports post, you would have spotted the trend. Hope mid term election will put a stop to the madness of the king...//@snugglo:This already looks more like a mid-cycle correction than a one-day scare. PMI and input prices re-accelerating together is the part that can keep pressure on multiples into year end
With 5 mins to go before Monday trading commences, things are not looking up. (see attached) Latest dip is between -0.35% (S&P 500) to -0.57% (Nasdaq). Both DJIA and S&P 500 have 'worsen' while Nasdaq has eased slightly. Let's see how the day plays out.
Did I count the chickens before they are hatched? See attached. At 4:30pm Singapore time, US stock futures fell, following a winning last week despite Treasury yields spiking to multiyear highs. Currently dip is between -0.24% (DJIA) to -0.88% (Nasdaq). A rise in oil prices weighed on equity futures. Brent crude traded >1% higher at $105.86 per barrel. West Texas Intermediate futures gained around 1% as well to $93.20, after President Donald Trump rejected conditions for a ceasefire presented by Iran. Let's hope closing to trading hours, there's improvement.

Week That Was. If readers have gone through my post for last week cum last Friday, (click here !to read if you have not read it yet) , you would have recalled my moderately “bearish" outlook for stocks that week, citing bearish seasonality, mixed technicals, and uncertainty around the trajectory of oil prices and yields. US Market. Overall for week ending 25 Sep 2026, the 3 composite indexes were: DJIA : -0.21% (-108.14 to 51,828.62). S&P 500 : +0.66% (+50.58 to 7,743.41). Nasdaq: +1.29% (+345.52 to 27,068.72). The S&P 500 (market-cap weighted) Index and Nasdaq Composite were higher on the week, while the Dow turned out to be modestly lo
