Global equity markets were mixed Tuesday as investors weighed strong corporate earnings against rising borrowing costs, renewed concern about artificial-intelligence stocks and shifting expectations around U.S.-Iran diplomacy.
U.S. stocks reversed direction on hopes for diplomatic progress with Iran, according to The Wall Street Journal, while Newsquawk reported that Iran’s Foreign Ministry favored diplomacy. Oil prices remained a key influence on trading, though reports differed on their direction during the session: Newsquawk and TipRanks described crude as rising, while The Rio Times said Brent settled 0.69% lower at $108.79 a barrel amid hopes for progress in talks.
CNBC said the S&P 500 remained in a bull market but was trading near a flat 50-day moving average after weakness in semiconductors, data-center companies and bank shares. JPMorgan technical strategist Jason Hunter identified 7,500—about 2.5% below the level cited in CNBC’s report—as an important threshold for the index. MarketWatch said investors were preparing for strong earnings to collide with higher bond yields.
In China, investors moved toward dividend shares as technology stocks sold off. The Shanghai Stock Exchange Dividend Index gained 2% in October and the CSI Dividend Index rose 1.6%, compared with declines of 4.3% for the CSI 300 and 11% for the Star Market 50.
Brazil’s Ibovespa rose 1.57% to 208,295.98, while the dollar fell 0.58% to 5.019 reais amid foreign inflows and broader dollar weakness.
