U.S. Stocks Rebound Amid Global Market Recovery

U.S. stocks rose on Monday, aligned with European markets, anticipating key economic data and central bank actions. The S&P 500 and Dow broke a four-day losing streak, driven by bargain hunting and moderate inflation projections. Investors closely watch the Fed’s potential rate cut next week, impacting bond yields and currency strength.

In a synchronized rebound with European markets, U.S. stocks climbed on Monday as investors awaited crucial economic data and central bank movements. The S&P 500 snapped a four-session losing streak, while the Dow recovered from its steepest weekly percentage fall since March 2022.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq also bounced back after its largest Friday-to-Friday drop since January 2022. 'Corrections or profit-taking tend to be followed by stronger markets, and I think that's what we're seeing today,' stated Tim Ghriskey, senior portfolio strategist at Ingalls & Snyder in New York, citing an oversold market.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to lower its key policy rate by 25 basis points next week, with speculation of a 50-basis-point cut considered unlikely. European stocks also recovered, with the STOXX 600 gaining 0.75% ahead of expected ECB rate cuts. Emerging market and Asia-Pacific stocks showed mixed performance, while U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar steadied. Crude oil prices rebounded on supply concerns, and gold prices remained stable.
