US Equity Markets Mixed Amid Quarterly Results, Lower Oil Prices

MT Newswires Live10-21

US equity indexes were mixed Tuesday amid quarterly results from some mega-cap companies and declining crude oil prices.

* Housing starts fell 5.2% sequentially to a 1.22 million units rate in September, its lowest level since May, the Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development said. Based on an unrevised August reading, the consensus was 1.31 million in a Bloomberg survey.

* The UK will provide additional defensive military support to Saudi Arabia following escalating attacks in the region by Iran-aligned militant group Houthis.

* November West Texas Intermediate crude oil fell $2.57 to $101.09 per barrel, while December Brent crude, the global benchmark, was last seen down $0.45 at $109.10.

* Equifax (EFX) shares rose roughly 11%, the top gainer on the S&P 500, after the company reported an increase in Q3 adjusted earnings and operating revenue.

* General Motors (GM) shares fell about 6.8%, the worst performer on the S&P 500, after its updated 2026 profit guidance fell short of Wall Street's expectations at the midpoint, overshadowing a Q3 beat and a share buyback plan.
