Pre-Market Stock Futures:
Futures are trading lower as we enter the final trading days of the third quarter, after a wild week in which interest rates soared and oil prices bounced back and forth. While all major indices closed higher on Friday, only two finished the week higher, and with the quarter ending, watch for volatility as portfolio managers reset for the last quarter of <a href="https://comicvibe.com/announcing-the-2026-ringo-award-winners/” title=”Announcing the 2026 Ringo Award Winners”>2026. The Dow Jones Industrials led the way on Friday, finishing the session up 0.93% at 51,828, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq closed at 27,068, up 0.48%. The S&P 500 closed the week at 7,743, up 0.51%, and the small-cap Russell 2000 closed at 1,978, up 0.07%. With the third-quarter earnings reports right around the corner and expectations for a very positive season, possibly already baked in, investors need to tread carefully as the stock market is overbought, and everything is in place for a potentially sizeable sell-off.
Treasury Bonds:
Yieldswere mixed across the Treasury curve as the long end saw some selling, but much lighter than in recent weeks, while buyers took advantage of higher yields on the belly of the curve and focused on 2-year to 7-year maturities. At the close, the 30-year bond finished at 5.49%, while the benchmark 10-year note closed at 5.17%.
