Market Recap (week ending Fri Oct 31, 2025)
- Equities:
- U.S. equities advanced again this week, with solid earnings breadth supporting new highs — the S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite and Dow Jones Industrial Average all extended gains into the close.
- Leadership broadened modestly: in addition to mega-cap tech, sectors like Energy and Industrials showed relative strength during the week.
- Volatility remained comparatively subdued, with the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) easing from earlier spikes.
- Interest-rate focus: The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield hovered near ~4.1 %, reflecting steady underlying conditions.
- Commodities & FX:
- Gold’s parabolic rally cooled this week, pulling back after earlier highs.
- The U.S. Dollar (via the US Dollar Index) edged higher.
- Oil prices firmed, helping the Energy sector tone.
Macro Pulse (U.S. Focus)
- U.S. growth stays solid — the October composite PMI rose to 54.8, showing strong momentum.
- The economy continues to outperform other major regions, driven by spending and investment.
- Inflation is still above target, keeping Fed policy uncertain.
- The ongoing government funding gap adds risk and could delay key economic data.
- Trading implication: The macro backdrop still favors equities, but conditions are tightening. Opportunities remain, yet the risk of setbacks is rising—stay alert for surprises in inflation, yields, and economic data.
SPDR Sector Rotation Snapshot
Weekly leadership tilted toward Technology (+2.42%) and Consumer Discretionary (+.96%.) Energy (+.07%) and Industrials (+.10%) held their own and Consumer Staples (-3.55%), Materials (-3.75%) and Real Estate (-4.10%) were the biggest losers.
Key takeaway: Sector leadership remains narrow, with Technology and Consumer Discretionary driving gains while defensive and cyclical sectors lag. The divergence signals strong momentum but a fragile base — rotation or consolidation may follow if leadership doesn’t broaden.

Trading Game Plan
The trend in U.S. equities remains positive, but the margin for error is shrinking.
Trade only when your Wavy Tunnel PRO and Bungee signals align, and define your entry, stop, size, and target before taking a position.
Watch this week’s key data releases — ISM Manufacturing PMI (Mon), JOLTS Job Openings (Tue), ADP Employment and ISM Services (Wed), Unemployment Claims (Thu), and Core PCE, Non-Farm Payrolls, and the Unemployment Rate (Fri). These reports could move yields, the dollar, and overall market tone.
Stay focused on process and discipline — manage risk, follow your plan, and treat each trade as part of your long-term trading business.
