    Major US stock indexes finished trading in negative territory

    Major US stock indices fell slightly on Monday amid losses in the healthcare sector and the conglomerate sector, as well as expectations for the third quarter's report season.

    The unofficial start of the season of US companies' reports will occur this week with the publication of financial results of several major financial institutions: on Thursday, October 12, reports will be submitted by Citigroup (C) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM), on Friday, October 13 - Bank of America (BAC) and Wells Fargo (WFC).

    According to Thomson Reuters, the profits of companies in the S & P 500 index basket are expected to show an increase of 4.2% compared to the same period last year, after exceeding expectations of growth of 12.3% y / y in the second quarter.

    Oil prices rose slightly, backed up by OPEC comments, which signaled the possibility of further actions to restore the market balance in the long term. Meanwhile, the oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico began to return to work after the hurricane Nate forced to stop more than 90% of the oil production in the area. In general, the prospect of resuming production limited the growth of oil quotes.

    Most components of the DOW index recorded a rise (16 out of 30). Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. became the leader of growth. (WMT, + 1.85%). Outsider were shares of General Electric Company (GE, -4.35%).

    Almost all sectors of the S & P index finished trading in the red. The health sector showed the greatest decline (-0.8%). Only the utilities sector grew (+ 0.1%).

    XAU/USD (GOLD) DAILY ANALYSIS

    Gold has become very volatile and has sparked some interest from investors due to the instability experienced at the international level, with the main focus being the exchange of words between the United States and North Korea.


    After successive weeks of devaluation of the value of gold, we can now expect a recovery of its value and perhaps until the formation of a new maximum relative to the previous one (values close to 1350.08).

    Composite PMI data signalled a weaker expansion in total Chinese business activity at the end of the third quarter

    The Caixin China Composite PMI data (which covers both manufacturing and services) signalled a weaker expansion in total Chinese business activity at the end of the third quarter. Notably, the Composite Output Index fell from 52.4 in August to a three-month low of 51.4 in September.

    The slowdown was driven by weaker increases in output at both manufacturing and services companies. A drop in the seasonally adjusted Caixin China General Services Business Activity Index from 52.7 to 50.6 in September pointed to only a marginal increase in services activity that was the slowest for 21 months. At the same time, growth in manufacturing production edged down to a three-month low.

    Global Stocks

    European stocks ended a tumultuous week on a downbeat note, driven lower by continued uncertainty over the political drama in Spain and a mixed reading on the U.S. labor market. Closing levels: The Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, -0.40% ended 0.4% lower at 389.47, trimming its weekly gain to 0.3%.

    The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average logged minor losses Friday, though the Nasdaq eked out a closing record and major indexes added to their string of weekly gains as investors mostly shrugged off a September jobs report that showed the first monthly drop in payrolls in seven years.

    After global stock gains last week, the Asia Pacific region started Monday on an upbeat note, led by buying in China after a weeklong holiday there. In the first action following Golden Week, the Shanghai SHCOMP, +1.24% and Shenzhen 399106, +1.51% composite indexes, which have lagged behind the double-digit gains seen in much of the region this year, both rose more than 1%.
