Stocks had one of the worst weeks since April, and some feel the selling could be stronger with only a little over 6 weeks left in the year.
With third-quarter earnings coming to a close, Wall Street will now be focused on incoming economic data to try to determine whether there will be another rate cut in December.
Friday night’s rally was fueled by investors “buying the dips” or short sellers covering their positions. Either way, we’ll find out soon this week.

the futures are trading higher as the new week begins, and most investors and traders are relieved that last week has come to an end. Hopes for an end to the government shutdown in Congress are driving futures higher this morning. The same mantra that was chanted last week (AI/Bubble, overbought stocks and short market breadth) will likely be on this week’s playlist, but a deal before the Thanksgiving holiday is a huge positive. Now that third-quarter results are coming to a close, it has been a very positive earnings season, with stocks exceeding expectations and delivering, for the most part, solid guidance. However, the trend is your friend and it could be down after the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite last week completed its worst weekly performance since April. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average also posted their biggest weekly losses in more than a month. One bright spot is that shares rose at the close, finishing well off their worst levels of the day. The Dow Jones Industrials, S&P 500, and Russell 2000 all finished the day higher, with most of these gains coming in the final 15 minutes of trading on Friday, which carried over into today.
The returns were mixed across the entire Treasury curve on Friday after a big rally in safe-haven government debt last week. Maturities from one year to 10 years saw continued buying, while on Friday we saw some mild selling in shorter maturity Treasury bills and long-maturity 20- and 30-year bonds. All in all, it was a mixed and volatile week, with changing data and political uncertainty creating a receptive and unpredictable market. The general result was almost stable during the week, but with important intraweek price fluctuations. That could also be the pattern of what we see this week.
The most important oil Benchmarks ended the week slightly higher, with Brent crude oil closing Friday at $63.76 and West Texas Intermediate at $59.87. This comes as the number of oil and gas rigs increases, and US production hit a new record of 13.651 million barrels per day in the week ending October 31, up from the previous week. The increase in production has helped large companies, as the spot price of oil has fallen this year. Natural gas remains the workhorse of the sector, as spot prices, although stable on Friday, were the star this week, extending a rally that has taken futures to their highest levels since March.
After a difficult Week, gold ended Friday’s session up 0.62% and was last at $4,000.20. Reclaiming the $4,000 level is likely a bullish play for those, like the UBS analyst, who see $4,200 as a very achievable short-term target. Others on Wall Street see $5,000 as a level that bullion may reach sometime in 2026. Kitco News, our go-to site for all things gold and silver, noted: “Silver prices continue to consolidate below $50 an ounce, however, there are growing bullish expectations as the precious metal has been officially added to the U.S. Geological Survey’s 2025 List of Critical Minerals.” “Uh.”
Like stocks, The cryptocurrency had a volatile and challenging week, with Bitcoin at one point falling below the $100,000 level. However, a resurgence on Friday and many analysts pointing to short covering, with Bitcoin, the standard-bearer, falling 5.48% for the week, led to a positive trading day for Bitcoin, which gained 2.86% to reach a price of around $103,750.25 at the 4 pm ET close. This reversal helped mitigate overall weekly losses. Ethereum also ended the week on a positive note, with its price rising more than 2% during the day. However, it posted a net drop for the week as a whole and was last seen on Friday at $3,466.74.
