Market News
- Wall Street ended sharply higher on Thursday in a broad-based rally led by Big Tech, as a truce in the debt-ceiling standoff in the U.S. Congress relieved concerns of a possible government debt default this month. Apple and Amazon are the biggest contributors to the S&P 500 and Nasdaq.
- Uncertainty over the debt-ceiling negotiations was one concern investors cited in September as the S&P 500 logged its biggest monthly percentage drop since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020.
- Investors are also keeping an eye on U.S. employment data for September due later on Friday. They expect employment figures that are near consensus will lead Fed to indicate at its November meeting when it will begin tapering its massive stimulus program.
Market Views
- Asian shares rose on Friday morning as Chinese shares returned from a one week holiday upbeat, tracking a global rally, while investors also eyed key U.S. jobs data for any fresh insight into the timing of Fed tapering. Hang Seng index rose 62 points and Nikkei 225 index gained 597 points.
- The focus remains on the property market as investors wait to see whether regulators take action to contain the contagion from cash-strapped China Evergrande Group’s debt problems.
