Markets Review
📅 Market Review for Monday, November 3, 2025
The start of the trading week on Monday, November 3, 2025, saw mixed performance across major asset classes, with key US equity indices experiencing divergence. The technology sector continued its robust rally, while the broader market lagged.
📈 Equities (Stocks)
US stocks started November on a higher note, extending the previous month's gains, which were driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) optimism and a recent Federal Reserve interest rate cut.
Mega-cap technology stocks were the primary driver of market strength, leading the tech-heavy indices higher.
The S&P 500 posted a gain, continuing its upward trajectory.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the broader market, however, showed signs of consolidation, with some areas lagging behind the tech sector's pace.
Investor focus remains heavily on the performance and future guidance of major tech companies as earnings season continues.
🏛️ Bonds
The fixed-income market continued to feel pressure following the Federal Reserve's cautious stance on future rate cuts last week.
The US 10-Year Treasury yield edged higher, moving to approximately 4.11%. This is a continuation of the sell-off in US government bonds that began after the last Fed meeting. The rising yield reflects markets dialing back expectations for the pace of future monetary policy easing.
💰 Commodities
Commodity prices were relatively subdued and mixed:
Crude Oil (Brent and WTI) saw slight downward pressure, with prices easing by a small margin. Brent Crude declined by approximately -0.30% to around $64.69 per barrel, and WTI Crude was down by about -0.25% to $60.90 per barrel.
US Natural Gas (Henry Hub) continued its recent rally, climbing to a multi-month high. The price gained approximately +3.44% to close around $4.24 per MMBtu. This strong move was fueled by forecasts for colder-than-normal early-winter temperatures in the US and sustained high demand for LNG exports overseas.
💱 Foreign Exchange (FX)
The US Dollar generally firmed against several major peers on Monday, supported by the rising Treasury yields and the recent hawkish tone from the Federal Reserve.
The Euro (EUR) was under pressure against the Dollar. The EUR/USD pair closed near recent lows, as short-term dollar strength prevailed despite the ECB holding a firm stance on its own rate policy.
The British Pound (GBP) also generally firmed against the Euro but was largely stable or slightly weaker against the strengthening US Dollar.
