stock market rise

The stock market rallied in the first hour of trading, but melted as Treasury yields rose again.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.3% on Thursday stock market trading. The S&P 500 fell 0.8%. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 0.6%. Small cap Russell 2000 fell 1.3%.

The 10-year Treasury yield jumped 10 basis points to 4.23%, a new 14-year high after jumping 13 basis points on Wednesday. The benchmark Treasury yield is on track for its 12th consecutive weekly gain.

Ahead of the opening, the Labor Department reported that initial jobless claims fell last week, defying views for a third straight gain. The Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index remained negative in October, slightly worse than consensus, but the employment sub-index indicated strong labor demand. This is not what the Fed wants to see.

The two-year Treasury yield is around 4.6%, as the Fed recently indicated that the Fed funds rate could peak. With that said, markets are currently expecting 4.75%-5% after the February meeting.

Crude oil futures expiring in November rose 0.5% to $85.98 a barrel, but pulled back from morning highs. The price of December crude oil fell 1 cent to $84.51. Natural gas prices fell 1.9%, extending their steep losses to their worst close since late March.

Musk-Twitter deal review?

US government officials are considering subjecting Musk’s Twitter and Starlink deal to national security reviews, Bloomberg reported late Thursday. This comes after Musk’s threats to cut off Starlink’s access to Ukraine and Russia-friendly peace proposals.

According to the report, Musk’s foreign investors are also under scrutiny. Bloomberg said officials are looking at ways to review the deals, including using the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CIFUS).

However, the White House said it is not aware of any national security reviews of Musk’s deals.

Twitter stock fell more than 8% at one point, trimming losses to 5% after the White House statement.

If there is a security review, it may not come until after Musk’s acquisition of Twitter is closed. Even if the review delays or hinders the acquisition, Musk may have to pay hefty fines to walk out of the deal.

TWTR stock rose 1.2% to 52.44 Thursday, just below the buyout price of $54.20.

Musk had wanted to pull out of the deal, but last month he changed his mind as his prospects for winning in court looked bleak.

Musk and Twitter appear to be heading toward closing the deal by an October 28 court-set deadline. Musk is said to be looking for new equity partners to fund his Twitter acquisition to avoid sales of new TSLA shares.

Tesla Stock

Tesla stock sold 6.65% to 207.28 Thursday, crashing to a 16-month low. Stocks pulled back a bit early Friday.

Late Wednesday, Tesla’s earnings narrowly beat third-quarter views while revenue came in sluggish. While Elon Musk promised an “epic” fourth quarter and said demand remains strong, he admitted that China and Europe are showing some weakness.

Tesla plans to produce far more cars than it offers in the fourth quarter, after production exceeded sales by 22,000 in the third quarter. The electric car giant says it’s doing it to ease deliveries versus the usual quarter-end madness. But this move comes as production capacity increases and the backlog in China fades.

Market Rise Analysis

The stock market’s bull run got off to a strong start Thursday, with the Nasdaq up nearly 1.5% in the first hour. But the Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Russell 2000 hit the resistance at the 21-day moving average again. Dow Jones continues to hold above 21 days.

Technical resistance coincided with Treasury yields rising once again.

Major indices remain solidly higher this week, despite trading near weekly lows. If yields see a sustained decline or pause, a market rally may be triggered. But if yields continue to rise, it is easy to imagine indicators pulling back towards bear market bottoms.

Many of Thursday’s winners were stocks with terrible charts, including dividend-fueled L research (LRCX) And the AT&T (T).

Energy stocks remain the clear lead. But many 50-day streaks have been extended. Energy stocks are subject to significant fluctuations with core oil and natural gas prices.

Some steel stocks show their strength. Medical names such as humana (hmmm), Cardinal’s health (CAH) And the Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX) were mixed. Despite the height Lines of relative forceMany drugs do not make much progress.

Time to Market with IBD’s ETF Market Strategy

What are you doing now

Market volatility adds to investor risk. The stock could look promising, but it sees solid gains fading away within a few minutes or hours. This is with the indices rising strongly during the week. If it is flat or low, negative reversals can be more painful.

Put the volatility aside and there are still good reasons to invest heavily now. The market rally did not have a follow-up day. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are struggling at the 21-day line.

Next week, Dow Jones shares in Apple, Microsoft, Google, Meta Platforms and Amazon, Boeing (BA), Intel Corporation (INTC) and hundreds of other companies will report. These profits may be a catalyst for big market gains, sharp losses, or more downside actions.

The market may take an upward turn at any moment. A number of stocks can be actionable quickly if a definite rally begins. So stay engaged and keep your watchlists updated.
