What happened

U.S. stocks ended mixed before midterm election results. Treasury yields rose, the U.S. dollar strengthened, and oil futures settled lower. Investors were also watching economic data, Middle East diplomacy, a large Meta bond offering, and the Treasury’s borrowing plan. AMD reported quarterly sales above analysts’ expectations.

Global impact / market context

Higher Treasury yields and a stronger dollar can affect investment choices, while falling oil prices can influence energy markets. Election results, economic data, and government borrowing plans may also shape investors’ expectations. The evidence does not show how these factors will move markets next.

What to watch

  1. Check the midterm election results, because investors were waiting for them.
  2. Check Wednesday’s Treasury borrowing statement, because investors were watching the government’s borrowing plan.
  3. Check employment data and Federal Reserve speeches, because they may affect expectations for monetary policy.
