Global Markets:
Most European indices advanced on Monday, 5 October 2026, recovering some of the losses recorded in the previous week as weaker-than-expected US jobs data reduced expectations of an immediate Federal Reserve rate hike. However, elevated government bond yields, high energy prices and concerns over fiscal conditions in parts of Europe continued to weigh on investor sentiment.
However, Asian indices ended higher on Monday, even as investor sentiment remained cautious amid elevated crude oil prices and high US Treasury yields. Markets in mainland China and South Korea remained closed for holidays.
Softer-than-expected US jobs data eased expectations of an interest rate hike by the US Federal Reserve at its October meeting. However, investors remained cautious as the US 10-year Treasury yield had climbed to 5.34% last week, its highest level since 2002.
Meanwhile, crude oil prices remained elevated. Brent crude was trading around $102.20 a barrel on Monday morning after briefly moving above $103. Oil prices remained supported by heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, after Yemen's Saudi-backed government launched a military campaign aimed at reclaiming territory held by the Houthis.
US stocks ended higher on Friday after weaker-than-expected jobs data reduced expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike at its policy meeting later this month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 250.40 points, or 0.49%, to 51,176.96, while the S&P 500 gained 56.27 points, or 0.73%, to 7,722.72. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 319.27 points, or 1.19%, to 27,190.86.

The weaker-than-expected jobs data reduced expectations of a 25-basis-point Fed rate hike at the end of October. CME FedWatch showed the probability of a hike at 22.7%, down from 24.4% in the previous session and 64.2% a week earlier.
