What matters nowUpdated 8 h ago
- The S&P 500 closed at a record 7,818.93 on October 6, 2026, up 0.6%, as expectations for corporate profit growth and easing bond yields lifted the market 1. The rally followed the 10-year Treasury yield hitting 5.34% on October 1, its highest level since 2002, in a global bond selloff tied to oil-driven inflation fears and the Iran war 2.
- SPX last traded at 7,799.35 on pooled 24/7 venue prices, up 0.03% from a prior close of 7,797.40 and about 0.25% below the October 6 record. The index had fallen 0.8% to 7,683.69 on September 28, when the 10-year yield closed near 5.23% 3, and has since recovered as yields eased.
- The Fed raised its target range 25 basis points to 3.75%-4.00% on September 16 in a unanimous decision 4. Core PCE rose 3.0% from a year earlier in August, with headline PCE up 3.4% 5, and payrolls rose by 29,000 in September with unemployment at 4.2% 6.
- The next dated catalysts are September CPI on October 14 at 12:30 UTC, PPI and advance retail sales on October 15 at 12:30 UTC, monthly SPX options expiration on October 16, the FOMC decision on October 28 at 18:00 UTC, and the advance Q3 GDP estimate on October 29 at 12:30 UTC.
- Prediction markets give 80.5% odds of no Fed rate change after the October 28 meeting and 19.5% odds of a 25 bp hike. For SPX, they put 5.5% odds on a close below $6,000 in December and 2.7% odds on a low of $5,200 in December. Perpetual funding is -0.0083% per 8 hours, with $416.5 million open interest and $172.1 million 24-hour volume across five venues.
