      On Wednesday, US stock market continue to fall due mainly to profit taking after indexes all achieved all time highs. And also  benchmark 10-year Treasury yield climbed as high as 5.365% (its highest level since April 2002), and the 30-year yield touched 5.732%. Rising bond yields increased corporate and consumer borrowing costs, pressuring stock valuations. Will Thursday be any different?

      @JC888:
      I confess. I have not been sharing US weekly economic reports for the past 2 weeks. There are 2 main reasons: It takes a lot of time to read (with comprehension) and then compile them into a concise post to share. I seemed to get the idea that most readers are not that ‘interested’ in such post (from myself), based on the ‘likes’ & ‘reposts’ responses for my weekly effort. However, seeing my post dated 28 Sep 2026 (for previous week’s economic reports released) on the weekly chart, I decided to soldier on, despite it not being well received. So here I am sharing the US economic reports out the week before and they are mainly ‘jobs’ reports. Jobs Opening and Labour Turnover surveys (JOLTs). The JOLTs for August 2026 was released on Tue, 29 Sep 2026. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BL

      On Wed, 07 Oct 2026 - 2.5 hours into trading, all 3 composite indexes are down across the board where dips are between -0.38% (S&P 500) and -0.90% (the Dow). This as crude oil prices continue to climb higher where Brent crude has risen above the $100 level yet again. And US 10 years Treasury yield remains elevated at 5.316% (at the time of writing this short form comment).

      Half an hour into Wednesday trading, $Petroleo Brasileiro SA Petrobras(PBR)$ continued to pull back slightly, falling by -0.29% (so far), landing PBR at $23.73 per share. I wonder where PBR will be by the time 4pm comes knocking.  What do you think ?

      10 mins into trading on Wed, 07 Oct 2026 - US stocks fell.   This was primarily due to profit-taking after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit record highs the day before. In addition to rising Treasury yields to 5.347% (its highest level since April 2002) and surging oil prices (Brent crude oil is at $102.34 again).  A lethal combination.

      PBR shares edged slightly lower on Tues, 06 Oct 2026 - closing at $23.80, a downswing of -1.41%.  The mild profit-taking follows a massive, multi-day political rally that drove the stock up by +11.5% on 05 Oct 2026, challenging its 52-week high of $24.76.

      Before Wednesday trading, traders are pausing to lock in gains and manage risk before FOMC's Sept 2026 minutes of meeting is released.  Narrative remains - sharp tug-of-war between stellar AI earnings momentum and building macroeconomic headwinds. Lastly, a strong September ISM Services PMI of 54.9 & widening US trade deficit ($105.6 billion) - point to resilient consumer demand but also flash persistent input and selling price pressures. For now, the composite futures indexes stand to fall between -0.1% and -0.34%.  Keep watching these indexes for more proofs.

      On Tue, 6 Oct 2026, US markets surged to major milestones.   S&P 500 crossed the 7,800 threshold for the 1st time to book its 28th record close of the year.  Nasdaq got its 2nd consecutive closing record and the Dow marked its best single-day advance in nearly two weeks. Tuesday's rally was driven by bond market stabilization and intense optimism over AI, ahead of Q3 corporate earnings season. Will the rally lasts ?  I have my doubts.
