Stock Market Today: Dow, S&P Live Updates for October 24 – Bloomberg

Asian stocks are set for a cautious opening after the S&P 500 edged down to its lowest close since May, with trading dominated by bond market swings. Oil edged higher after sinking Monday as the next stages of the Israel-Hamas war remain clouded.

Futures point to gains in Japan shares while Australian stocks are set to slip. In the US, the S&P 500 fell for a fifth straight session — its longest slide this year. Still, it held above the key 4,200 mark, a technical support level. The Nasdaq 100 outperformed as investors awaited earnings from a handful of big techs, including Microsoft Corp. and Nvidia Corp., which both gained Monday.
