<ul class="summary-list"><li>Emerging markets' stocks climbed to their highest since April 2022 on Tuesday.</li></ul>China's latest efforts to prop up its sluggish economy appears to be having spillover effects on markets around the world. Emerging markets indexes climbed to their highest level since April 2022. The MSCI equity index for emerging economies rose 2% on Tuesday, fueled by gains from Hong Kong-listed shares of Chinese companies like Tencent Holdings Ltd. and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.The boost comes shortly after China introduced a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-economy-aggressive-monetary-stimulus-interest-rate-rrr-2024-9">swath of new stimulus measures</a> to prop up its sluggish economy and boost domestic demand.The policies include cutting a key short-term interest rate, lowering the reserve requirement ratio that dictates the amount of capital banks must hold, and introducing 800 billion Chinese yuan in liquidity support.The new stimulus measures also boosted China's CSI 300 of Shanghai- and Shenzhen-listed shares, with the index closing 4.3% higher on Tuesday in its best day in four years.And the Stoxx Europe 600 index climbed as much as 0.9%, led by luxury stocks amid hopes that sluggish Chinese consumer spending will rebound.The Chinese stimulus measures—plus a big rate cut from the US Federal Reserve last week and expectations for further easing—are raising investor confidence in the world's two largest economies.Yet, some analysts remain wary that China's stimulus measures won't have drastic enough impacts to actually rescue the country from its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-economy-growth-consumer-spending-demand-real-estate-debt-crisis-2024-8">economic woes</a>."Today's announcement is not a game changer," Yingrui Wang, an economist at AXA Investment Managers, said in a Tuesday note. "A coordinated fiscal policy in the near term will be important and necessary for an efficient transmission."Goldman Sachs analysts echoed that sentiment, and said that the government's policy rate and lower reserve requirement, plus rare guidance on future policy, all point to signs that policymakers are increasingly worried about growth headwinds.But the analysts say further support for domestic demand is still necessary."More demand-side easing measures — especially fiscal easing — are likely to be needed to improve China's growth outlook," the analysts said in a Tuesday note.In recent months, China's economy has struggled to escape <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/pets-sports-disney-linabell-china-consumer-economy-demand-spending-property-2024-9">weak consumer sentiment</a> and continues to face a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-economy-housing-market-real-estate-crash-investors-outlook-construction-2024-3">struggling property sector</a>. Analysts have said the government's target of "around 5%" GDP growth by the end of the year is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-growth-targets-axa-investment-property-sector-industrial-production-2024-9">increasingly unlikely</a> as the government's macro policy has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-economy-gdp-macro-policy-retail-demand-labor-market-forecast-2024-9">moved too slowly</a> to spark a rebound.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Indexes slipped Thursday as investors priced in a higher-than-expected inflation reading.</li><li>The data raises the possibility of a "no landing" scenario for the US economy.</li></ul>Stocks fell on Thursday from records reached in the previous session, as traders took in a sticky inflation reading for September. All three benchmark indexes fell, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down TK points, a 0.40% fall, while the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq fell 0.% and 0.%, respectively.The declines follow rises across the board on Wednesday, which saw a fresh record close for both the S&amp;P 500 and the Dow, and comes after inflation proved stickier than expected last month. September consumer price index data released on Thursday showed inflation <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/inflation-september-cpi-consumer-price-index-federal-reserve-interest-rates-2024-10">rose 2.4% year-over-year</a>, slightly above consensus forecasts of a 2.3% rise.The core CPI reading, which excludes more volatile food and energy costs, was up 3.3% year-over-year and just above forecasts of 3.2%.The reading, coupled with last week's blockbuster jobs report, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/us-economy-outlook-retail-sales-no-landing-inflation-jobs-report-2024-10">has sparked talk of a "no landing"</a> scenario for the US economy, a scenario in which strong economic growth fuels inflation and makes it harder for the Federal Reserve to cut rates. A no landing would likely mean rate cuts are fewer or slower than markets had previously forecast. It would also mean borrowers are saddled with higher interest rates on their debt for longer.After the CPI release, investors <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-outlook-volatility-cpi-inflation-september-jobs-report-bofa-2024-10?_gl=1*24ex3i*_ga*MTY3OTgyNjg0MS4xNzIxMDE2MDM2*_ga_E21CV80ZCZ*MTcyODU2NDg1Mi4yNTAuMS4xNzI4NTY1OTMzLjYwLjAuMA..">adjusted their expectations</a> for the Federal Reserve's easing cycle. The September jobs report had killed the odds of another big 50 basis point cut, but the slightly higher-than-expected CPI likely isn't enough to fully pump the brakes on Fed easing."Heading into the report, we thought only a very firm print would lead the Fed to consider pausing in November based on inflation alone. We did not get that," analysts from Bank of America said Thursday."While core PCE will be firmer than recent months, we think it will be enough for the Fed to follow through with a 25bp cut in November," they added.Investors are now pricing in higher odds of a 25 basis point rate cut at the central bank's meeting next month, according to the <a target="_blank" rel=" nofollow" class="" href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html?redirect=/trading/interest-rates/countdown-to-fomc.html">CME FedWatch Tool</a>.Meanwhile, weekly jobless claims edged up 33,000 to 258,000, according to Labor Department data released Thursday.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>US stocks were mostly lower on Monday, pulling back from last week's record highs.</li><li>Investors are turning their attention to third-quarter earnings season, with 21% of S&amp;P 500 companies set to report this week.</li></ul>US stocks traded mostly lower on Monday, retreating from last week's record highs.While the Nasdaq 100 rose slightly, the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined by nearly 350 points. The decline on Monday comes as third-quarter earnings season nears its peak, with more than 100 S&amp;P 500 companies set to report results this week, including <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/ko-stock">Coca-Cola</a>, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/TSLA-stock">Tesla</a>, Boeing, and <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/ups-stock">UPS</a>.So far, investors should be feeling good about third-quarter results.Of the 21% of S&amp;P 500 companies that have reported so far, about 80% beat profit estimates by 5%, while 60% beat revenue estimates, according to data from Bank of America.Bank of America strategist Savita Subramanian said that company executives are striking an optimistic tone on earnings calls."Processing the natural language of corporate management yields a record level of optimism, and a pick up after four quarters of deceleration," Subramanian said in a note on Monday.She added: "Mentions of weak demand fell, tracking the lowest levels in two years where less / more mentions have been correlated to a rising / falling ISM Manufacturing PMI."Nvidia jumped to record levels during the session to help lift the Nasdaq slightly higher. The stock rose more than 4% to close at $143.71. <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/nvidia-stock-price-prediction-nvda-blackwell-demand-outlook-chips-ai-2024-10">Analysts have been feeling bullish</a> on the stock's prospects for further gains amid big demand for its new Blackwell chips. Bank of America was the latest firm to up its price target for the stock, calling out a "generational opportunity" for the company in a note at the end of last week.
