US stocks turned lower early Tuesday after staying in positive territory throughout much of the overnight.
Stocks gained on Monday as investors focused on encouraging signs from corporate earnings and hopes that the Federal Reserve would slow the pace of interest-rate increases.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 417.06 points, or 1.3%, to 31499.62, its highest closing level in six weeks. The S&P 500 advanced 44.59, or 1.2%, to 3797.34. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite rose 92.90, or 0.9%, to 10952.61, bouncing back after it started the day in the red.
Last week, the Dow notched its best three-week stretch since November 2020, offering investors a reprieve from the selling pressure that has whipsawed portfolios this year.
The rally was kicked off, in part, by a batch of corporate earnings — particularly from banks and airlines — that offered an encouraging outlook on the U.S. economy.
Stocks then raced higher on Friday after The Wall Street Journal reported that Fed officials are likely to consider the possibility of shifting to smaller interest-rate increases in December.
“Market participants are desperately looking for a Fed pause or pivot,” said Chris Senyek, chief investment strategist at Wolfe Research. Still, he cautioned that such hopes would likely be dashed by continuing high inflation and low unemployment, which would pressure the central bank to maintain its hawkish stance.
“We think a Fed pause is a long ways off,” Senyek said.
Meanwhile, shares were mostly lower Tuesday in Asia as markets remained jittery over the outcome of a Communist Party congress in China, where key reformers were excluded from the highest ranks of ruling party leadership.
Hong Kongs benchmark failed to hold onto early gains after a 6.4% selloff the day before that took it to its lowest close in over a decade.
Tokyo and Sydney advanced but Shanghai, Seoul and Mumbai declined. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng lost 0.2% to 15,151.01 and the Shanghai Composite index also shed earlier gains, slipping 0.1% to 2,975.08. Taiwan’s benchmark fell 1.5%. Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 index rose 1.2% to 27,301.50 while the Kospi in Seoul lost 0.1%, to 2,235.07. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 gained 0.3% to 6,798.60.

Oil prices rose on Tuesday as the U.S. dollar eased against major peers but gains were limited by worries of slowing global fuel demand growth amid bearish economic data from key oil importing economies such as China.
International benchmark Brent crude futures gained 3 cents to $93.29 per barrel by 0652 GMT, after falling 0.3% in the previous session.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures for December delivery rose 11 cents to $84.69 per barrel, after a previous decline of 0.6%.
A weaker U.S. dollar makes dollar-denominated oil less expensive for other currency holders and helps push prices higher. However, signs of uncertain economic activity in the United States and China, the world’s two biggest oil consumers, limited the increase.
“The intraday price swings aside, Brent and WTI futures are stuck in a relatively narrow band since Thursday,” said Vandana Hari, founder of oil market analysis provider Vanda Insights.
Supply and demand fundamentals remain largely stable, leaving economic sentiment at the centre-stage for the oil market, Hari added. “Much of the souring outlook on demand has already been baked in, so any further downward pressure may be slow-acting,” she said.
Also on Monday, government data showed China’s crude oil imports in September were 2% lower than a year earlier, continuig a trend of lower imports at the same time it reported slowing retail sales.
U.S. crude oil inventories are also expected to rise this week, which may limit price gains. Analysts polled by Reuters estimated on average that crude inventories rose by 200,000 barrels in the week to Oct. 21.
Analysts estimated stockpiles of gasoline fell by about 1.2 million barrels and distillate inventories, which include diesel and heating oil, were expected to have dropped by 1.1 million barrels last week.
Separately, International Energy Agency head Fatih Birol said on Tuesday the world will still need Russian oil to flow to the market despite a price cap, with between 80% to 90% an “encouraging level” to meet demand. Many details of a price cap on Russian oil still have to be ironed out, Birol said during the Singapore International Energy Week. Posted by Reuters Share
