"Day After Day..."

Today’s Newsletter (October 6th, 2025)

Futures in the green at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on the same topics including the government shutdown, tech stock resilience, market strength, and movement in treasuries/commodities/crypto. Do we see a resolution to the shutdown this week?

From Bloomberg

  • "US equity futures rose as investors bet that a resilient economy and Federal Reserve easing will continue to support corporate earnings and the boom in artificial intelligence spending.

  • Contracts on the S&P 500 climbed about 0.4% after the index gained more than 1% last week despite a US government shutdown that’s delayed key economic data. Futures on the Nasdaq 100 were up 0.6%. The yield on 10-year Treasuries rose about four basis points, and a gauge of the dollar advanced.

  • Tech stocks led gains in premarket trading. Advanced Micro Devices Inc. soared after signing a deal with OpenAI to roll out AI infrastructure in a pact the chipmaker said could generate tens of billions of dollars in new revenue. Tesla Inc. rose after teasing a product announcement. Comerica Inc. surged after Fifth Third Bancorp agreed to buy the financial services firm in a $10.9 billion deal.

  • US companies are set to enjoy a better-than-expected earnings season as a robust economy and a solid outlook for artificial intelligence have left estimates looking too low, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. strategists. The team led by David Kostin also expect the so-called Magnificent Seven group of technology heavyweights to beat expectations.

  • A number of private-sector indicators out last week pointed to a sluggish US labor market and moderation in demand, without raising alarm bells on the outlook for economic growth. That’s left traders confident the Fed will deliver another quarter-point cut in October, allowing them to look past the US government shutdown and the threat of firing federal workers."
