Major New York stock market indices showed a concurrent rise.

The Dow rose 0.6%, and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq rose 0.2% each.

As the possibility of an escalation of war between Iran and Israel decreased, international oil prices plummeted, which served as a positive factor.

‘West Texas crude oil’ plunged 6.1%, ending trading at the $67 per barrel level, giving a welcome boost to the stock market.

In the stock market, large technology stocks performed well.

‘Apple’, ‘Alphabet’, and ‘Meta’ all rose 0.8%, and ‘Amazon’ also rose 0.3%.

Meanwhile, electric vehicle stocks showed mixed performance, with ‘Tesla’ falling 2.4%, but ‘Nikola’ soaring 20%.

Despite the plunge in international oil prices, U.S. Treasury yields continued to rise in the bond market.

The 10-year government bond yield is trading at 4.28%, up 0.04 percentage points.

Ahead of next week’s U.S. presidential election and the FOMC’s (Federal Open Market Committee’s) decision on the benchmark interest rate, the U.S. stock market is showing a sideways trend with repeated slight rises and falls.

It is difficult to show a clear direction whether the market is down or up.

Therefore, it is expected that the speculative market will continue for some time.

Until now, it was Shinyoung Securities.
