Global Stock Markets Bounce Back Amid Economic Uncertainty

U.S. stock markets started the week with a strong rebound, led by the Nasdaq with a 1.95% gain, as investors engaged in post-sell-off bargain hunting following a sharp decline last Friday. The S&P 500 and Dow also saw notable gains, driven by key sectors such as Communications Services and Technology, while Energy declined amid falling oil prices. Globally, European markets are poised for a positive open despite recent tariff-driven declines, with futures indicating modest gains across major indexes like the FTSE 100 and CAC 40. Indian markets similarly opened higher following oversold conditions, though experts caution that sustained recovery depends on global sentiment and upcoming Reserve Bank of India policy decisions. Market optimism is tempered by recent U.S. economic developments, including President Trump's firing of the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner after disappointing jobs data, raising concerns about data independence and market volatility. Treasury yields showed signs of downward momentum, oil prices slipped due to a weakening economic outlook, and investors await upcoming corporate earnings reports and central bank actions for further direction.
