Markets across the globe got a lift on October 14 as traders breathed easier after Fed Chair Jerome Powell struck a somewhat reassuring tone — admitting weakness in the jobs market but indicating he might halt the Fed’s balance sheet runoff. That helped steady nerves rattled by renewed U.S.-China trade hostilities.
Bank earnings show strength, but tech lags
Big U.S. banks like JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo delivered solid earnings,
which shored up financials — the day's best-performing sector. But tech pulled back, dragging the Nasdaq lower.

China–U.S. trade spat back in focus
The tension flared again when both nations imposed new port fees on trade, prompting a short-lived surge in volatility.
However, chatter of a possible Trump–Xi meeting later this month gave markets a bit of hope.
Safe havens shine, risk assets wobble
The U.S. dollar weakened as traders jumped into yen and Swiss franc.
Treasury yields fell. Oil slumped after warnings of oversupply, while gold surged to new highs on fears and rate cut bets.
In the crypto world, Bitcoin dropped from its highs, slipping below $111,000 after earlier surging past $126,000.

It’s a classic tug-of-war day: central bank signals easing tensions while geopolitical axes sharpen.
Bank earnings provided a backbone, but tech and trade news can shift the wind fast. Keep a close watch on Powell’s upcoming remarks, U.S.–China diplomatic cues, and how risk assets and safe havens dance in response.
