At the November 4 close, all three major indexes rose. Risk assets rebounded after election clarity, but AI-related stocks broadly declined. Brent and WTI oil both fell more than 9% over 24 hours. Bitcoin briefly rose above $80,000, and the crypto market warmed across the board. TRUMP token plunged. November 5 focus is earnings from Moderna, Sony, ConocoPhillips and others.

All three major indexes closed higher on October 26. Anthropic formally filed for a listing, rekindling AI speculation; the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose about 3% on the day, and Tesla reached a more-than-three-month high. Bitcoin was near $80,200, down for three consecutive weeks and testing $80,000 for a third time. Local assets plunged after the election result. The October 27 focus is the opening of the Federal Reserve meeting and earnings from Visa, PayPal and others.

The Raydium price traded near $2.45 on October 8, 2026, up about 11% in 24 hours and about 24% over seven days, according to CoinGecko. No single announcement explains the move. Instead, a mix of StonkFun and LaunchLab fee growth, a fee funded buyback, rotation into high-beta tokens and a bullish technical setup is supporting the rally. The nearest test is the 30 day high near $2.57, while a pullback in Solana or a drop in partner-driven fees could reverse the gains quickly.

Major equity indexes closed lower on October 7 ET. Long-end yields rose again, and the 30-year yield hit a roughly 24-year high. September Fed minutes showed most participants thought another increase in the federal funds target range before year-end could be appropriate. CME pricing for a 25 bp hike at the October 27–28 meeting has fallen below 20%, far below about 70% in the days after the September decision. Bitcoin traded near $83,300. The October 8 focus is jobless claims and pre-market earnings from Pepsi and Delta.

Global markets spent the weekend digesting last week’s payrolls data and crypto fund flows. August job growth of roughly 162,000 and a steady 4.1% unemployment rate pushed the 10-year Treasury yield to around 4.78%, reviving rate-hike pricing and weighing on technology and other long-duration assets. In crypto, bitcoin held near $80,000 as spot ETF inflows remained supportive, signaling that institutional risk appetite has not fully faded. At the same time, oil stayed firm on Middle East supply concerns, while gold consolidated at elevated levels. This week, attention turns to Oracle and Adobe earnings, as well as CPI, for the next repricing of the September Fed path.
