4E: With the U.S. elections approaching, the U.S. stock market and cryptocurrency market are overall lacking direction

ChainCatcher news, according to 4E monitoring, on Thursday, only the Dow Jones fell among the three major U.S. stock indices. Dragged down by the earnings reports of IBM and Honeywell, the Dow fell 0.33%, marking its fourth consecutive day of decline; the S&P 500 index rose 0.21%, halting a three-day losing streak; Tesla surged nearly 22%, supporting the Nasdaq and the consumer discretionary sector, with the Nasdaq reaching a peak increase of over 0.8% during the session. Most cryptocurrencies rose, with Bitcoin rebounding to surpass $68,000, up 0.9%, and Ethereum reported at $2,513, down 1.5%.In the foreign exchange bulk market, the U.S. dollar index fell about 0.4% on Thursday, ending a three-day rally and retreating from a nearly three-month high; as U.S. Treasury yields fell alongside the dollar, gold prices surged significantly. Spot gold jumped by $20.52, an increase of 0.76%, approaching historical highs again; concerns about a slowdown in the European economy negatively impacting oil demand, coupled with reports that the U.S. and Israel would attempt to restart negotiations on a ceasefire in Gaza, pressured oil prices, with U.S. oil and Brent oil rising over 2% before turning to a decline of more than 1%.Multiple economic data released in October support the market's bets on a regular 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve in November. The market is still focused on corporate earnings reports; so far, over 32% of companies in the S&P 500 index have reported their third-quarter results, with 76% of those companies exceeding analysts' expectations. Despite the continuous major news during earnings season, with the U.S. election approaching, the overall U.S. stock market remains directionless. eeee.com is a financial trading platform that supports assets such as cryptocurrencies, stock indices, bulk gold, and foreign exchange, recently launching a USDT stablecoin wealth management product with an annualized return of 5.5%, providing investors with potential hedging options. 4E reminds you to pay attention to market volatility risks and to allocate assets wisely.
