Stocks Rebound As Oil Prices Ease

RiskReversal Recap: October 8, 2024

MARKET WRAP

The S&P was up 0.97%, the Nasdaq was up 1.45%, and the Russell 2000 up 0.19%.

WTI crude oil futures plunged almost 5% on Tuesday as markets reacted to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. CNBC notes the drop came as traders assessed Israel’s potential response to Iranian missile attacks and U.S. diplomatic efforts. This decline significantly impacted energy stocks, with the S&P energy sector falling more than 2% and major companies like Marathon Petroleum and Valero Energy experiencing losses of 5% or more.

Tech led the rally today. The XLK technology ETF was up roughly 2%, driven by gains in names like Palantir, Palo Alto, Intel, Nvidia and Broadcom.

Shares of Robinhood were up nearly 10% after announcing its first investor day in December, as well as receiving positive commentary from analysts at Piper Sandler and Barclays.
