Market Sentiment
Risk appetite is recovering Monday as Asian chip shares follow Wall Street’s Friday bounce, but the gains are uneven. Taiwan rallied after regulators tightened short-selling rules, while South Korea struggled to recover from Friday’s circuit breaker. The dollar has eased from its payrolls-driven surge, though markets still assign about an 80% chance to a December Federal Reserve rate increase. Crude is lower after President Donald Trump signaled restraint on Iran while talks progress. Reports of attacks on shipping near the Strait of Hormuz keep supply risk in play, leaving the equity rebound exposed to a reversal in oil.
Previous Session Recap
U.S. payrolls rose 165,000 in October, lifting the dollar index about 0.7% Friday. The Nasdaq-100 rose 1.35% after Thursday’s 6.36% selloff, while the S&P 500 gained 0.31% and the Dow fell 0.46%. South Korea’s KOSPI lost 6.02% after a 20-minute trading halt. Germany’s DAX fell 1.92%.
