The Bottom Line
U.S. equity indices recovered sharply in the second half of trading on Friday: That’s when Democrat members in the Senate offered a proposal to end the federal government shutdown.
Prior to the news, price levels for U.S. and Canadian equity indices, related ETFs and individual equities extended losses for the week. The TSX Composite Index moved below support at 29,802.49 and its 50 day moving average completing a double top pattern. The S&P 500 Index broke below its 50 day moving average but recovered in late trading. The VIX Index spiked to 22.80%, but dropped back to 19.08% in late trading. See the following MarketWatch comment for additional background: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-shutdown-is-starting-to-bite-the-economy-top-trump-aide-warns-the-senate-is-struggling-to-make-a-deal-3104a8da?mod=mw_pushly&send_date=20251107
Look for volatility, measured by the VIX Index, to remain elevated this week pending evolution of political events in Washington.
