Yesterday: U.S. indexes surged Monday, rebounding from Friday’s sharp sell-off after President Trump signaled a more optimistic outlook on trade relations with China saying “all will be fine.” Markets had tumbled last week following China’s tightening of export controls on rare-earth minerals, vital to sectors like technology and defense. Trump’s latest comments eased concerns over additional tariffs, helping restore investor confidence. However, the bounce didn’t make up for the $2 trillion in market value that was wiped out on Friday. In addition, the U.S. dollar rose, and oil bounced back after hitting a five-month low last week.
On Our Radar: Analysts will be watching the NFIB optimism index report, as well as speeches from several Fed members (Powell, Bowman, Waller, Collins). On the earnings front, all eyes will be on ASML (ASML), Bank of America (BAC) and Morgan Stanley (MS), which will report results before the market opens on Wednesday.

MARKET HISTORY
On This Day In 1987…
The Dow dropped 3.81%, marking the beginning of the sharp sell-off that culminated in Black Monday just five days later. The immediate trigger was a report from the U.S. Commerce Department revealing a larger-than-expected $15.7 billion trade deficit, which rattled investors and stoked fears about the weakening U.S. dollar and rising interest rates. The October 14 decline is widely seen as the first major shock that set the stage for the 1987 market crash — still the largest single-day percentage drop in Wall Street history.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
“The biggest risk of all is not taking one.“
— Mellody Hobson
ONE FOR THE ROAD
Silver has surged 77% this year, and according to Goldman Sachs, the rally may not be over — but investors should brace for a bumpy ride.
With its smaller, less liquid market, silver is far more sensitive to investor flows than gold, amplifying both gains and losses. While bullish momentum continues, there are a number of factors at play that could trigger sharp swings.
Read on to see why some are forecasting silver to reach $65 next year, and why the road will be anything but smooth.
