Weekly Five Key Areas: Earnings, Macro, Singapore Stocks, Options, Futures
Covering five major market segments this week to help you stay ahead of market trends and plan your trades effectively!
🌍 Monday — Macro Economy
U.S. stocks advanced for the week, rebounding from a sharp sell-off on the prior Friday that saw the S&P 500 Index register its worst day since April. It was a volatile week for equity markets that started on a positive note after representatives from the U.S. and China appeared to walk back some of the prior week’s escalation of trade tensions. Some dovish comments from Federal Reserve officials and several deal announcements in the artificial intelligence (AI) space also appeared to support stock indexes early in the week.
Earnings season also began in earnest on Tuesday, with several big banks reporting third-quarter results. JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo all reported better-than-expected results for the quarter. In total, about 12% of S&P 500 companies had reported as of Friday morning. Of those, 86% announced earnings that beat consensus estimates, according to data from FactSet, which seemed to help buoy investor sentiment during the week.
Thursday saw stocks give back some gains after a pair of regional banks disclosed problems with loans involving allegations of fraud. This, following the recent bankruptcies of a subprime auto lender and an auto parts company, appeared to fuel emerging investor concerns about rising risks in the credit market and the broader health of the regional banking industry. It also helped push the CBOE Volatility Index—which measures expected stock market volatility over the next 30 days—to the highest level since April on Thursday.

Outlook: The market appears cautiously optimistic. Key drivers — such as major earnings reports from companies like Tesla, Inc. and Netflix, Inc., as well as the upcoming Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data — are poised to influence direction sharply.
Bullish factors:
Strong corporate earnings so far and resilience in tech/AI sectors lend underlying support.
Some technical trends remain positive — broad up-moves and positive momentum.
Risks & caution:
Valuations are high, and some signs of investor fatigue or over-extension have emerged.
Macroeconomic risks remain: inflation uncertainty, government shutdown impact, regional banking stress.
The market may see increased volatility around the earnings and CPI releases.
I’m also interested in what Elon Musk will say about upcoming product timelines — especially the progress on the Optimus robot, FSD expansion, and any updates on the next-gen platform. These forward-looking insights often move the stock as much as the financial results themselves.
Overall, I expect some short-term volatility, but I see potential for a rebound if Tesla delivers even modest earnings stability and strong forward guidance. With sentiment already near a short-term low, any positive surprise could trigger a solid upside reaction.

$General Motors(GM)$ Reports earnings Tuesday. It may detail a manufacturing realignment after warning that U.S. policy shifts could weigh on profits. The company aims to offset $4–$5 billion in trade costs this year by shifting to a U.S.-centric supply chain, which would require substantial capital investment.
$Netflix(NFLX)$ also reports earnings Tuesday. Jefferies, citing Nielsen data, said engagement likely rebounded in the quarter as the platform captured a record share of U.S. viewing over the summer. Revenue is forecast to grow 17%, the fastest pace since 2021. Aided by steady subscriber gains and rising average revenue per member, Netflix could raise 2025 guidance on better‑than‑expected margin gains, Business Insider said.
