Private Sector Survey Shows Output Growth

A widely followed private sector survey by SP Global revealed that output growth slightly exceeded expectations in September, buoyed by stronger services activity. However, the report also signaled a reawakening of inflationary pressures, raising concerns about future monetary policy moves.

Kamala Harris Leads 2024 Election Betting Odds

The latest betting-implied odds from Polymarket show Kamala Harris at 51% to win the 2024 US presidential election, surpassing former President Donald Trump who has seen his consensus slip in recent weeks.

Gold Sets New All-Time Highs

Among major assets, gold continues its upward momentum, setting new all-time highs as investors flock to safe-haven assets amid global uncertainty.

Natural Gas Prices Spike

Meanwhile, natural gas prices spiked over 4%, hitting a three-month high early Monday. The rise follows the formation of another storm in the Gulf of Mexico which threatens to further disrupt supply chains already impacted by Hurricane Francine.

Middle East Tensions Remain High

The geopolitical situation in the Middle East remains tense, with Israel targeting new Hezbollah sites in Lebanon and the US sending additional military troops to the region amid rising conflict.

Major US Indices Edge Lower

Notable Stock Movers

Intel Corp (INTC) rose over 3% amid rumors that Qualcomm Inc (QCOM) is exploring a potential takeover. Shares of Qualcomm fell 2%.

Ciena Corp (CIEN) obtained a double upgrade from Sell to Buy by Citigroup.

Viking Therapeutics Inc (VKTX) fell over 6% amid negative weight-loss study data.
