US-China trade war scare: What happened Friday and where things stand now

Markets were shaken late last week as China tightened rare earth export controls and President Trump threatened 100% tariffs on all Chinese goods. The selloff sent risk assets plunging, with the S&P 500 down 2.7% and Bitcoin off 8%. But calmer remarks from U.S. officials and Trump’s softened tone over the weekend helped trigger a sharp rebound in global risk sentiment to start the week.

US Stock Market outlook – S&P 500 breaks channel, Equities in the red to close the week

After a stellar run for tech and growth stocks, markets are turning cautious. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit new highs before retreating amid a sharp profit-taking wave and stronger U.S. Dollar. Heavyweights like Nvidia, Meta, and Amazon slid roughly 3%, dragging sentiment lower. Still, the Nasdaq remains resilient, holding near key support as traders assess the depth of this pullback.

Gold (XAU/USD): Overstretched uptrend, risk of minor pull-back below $4,012

Gold (XAU/USD) extended its seven-week rally to a new all-time high of US$4,059, gaining 8.5% since late September. Supported by sticky U.S. inflation and growing fiscal concerns driving the “debasement trade,” the yellow metal’s major uptrend remains intact. However, momentum signals now suggest the rally is overstretched, with risks of a short-term pullback below US$4,012 before the next potential bullish leg resumes.

US equities have extended their record-setting run, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq posting new highs. Yet, the rally’s foundations are uneven — the Dow’s modest 3.6% gain versus the S&P’s 9.5% highlights narrowing market breadth. Tariffs, a strong USD, and weaker industrials weigh on sentiment, raising questions about the sustainability of the bull trend.
