1. Pre-open outlook4:02 AM ET

   US equities, including the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and Dow Jones, are poised for the open with no directional signal from futures. Treasury yields slipped on Thursday, with the 10‑year note at 4.94% and the 10‑year‑minus‑2‑year spread at 0.27 percentage points, while the CNN Fear & Greed Index sits at 29, indicating a fearful market tone. Investors will be watching the US PCE inflation report scheduled for Wednesday, September 30, the Fed’s preferred gauge.

2. Midday check12:31 PM ET

   The Nasdaq 100 is rallying, closing within 1 percent of its all‑time high as AI‑related stocks blaze higher. AMD’s flirtation with a $1 trillion market cap and Meta’s strong month on its new AI assistant have fuelled the tech surge, while a state antitrust settlement has lifted Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. shares, clearing the way for their merger. Traders now watch the U.S. PCE inflation report slated for Wednesday, September 30.

3. Closing wrap7:32 PM ET

   US stocks closed higher on Monday, with CNBC noting that “stocks had a great day on the surface.” The rally was propelled by a surge in AI‑related shares after AMD announced a major milestone and OpenAI urged global AI standards, while Bitcoin’s 8‑month high underscored robust risk appetite; at the same time, remarks from Trump and Xi about trade stability added a geopolitical dimension. Investors now turn to the U.S. PCE inflation report due on September 30 for the next key gauge of Federal Reserve policy.
