Futures Trading Education

U.S. Indices reversed initial losses seen in what was a day of two halves. At the cash open, and US equity futures prior to it, weakness was seen, which was led by CoreWeave cutting revenue guidance, and Softbank selling its whole stake in NVIDIA. While both those names still notched notable losses, with the former down in excess of 11%, and Technology the only sector in the red, broader indices pared losses. S&P 500 and Russell 2000 settled with gains, while Nasdaq 100 had marginal losses as risk sentiment turned around after European players left for the day, albeit on no specific newsflow. Prior to this, T-Notes saw gains, while the Dollar was sold after a dismal weekly ADP employment change metric – the four weeks, ending 25th October 2025, private employers shed an average of 11,250 jobs a week, suggesting that the labour market struggled to produce jobs consistently during the second half of the month. In FX, the Dollar was sold, while the Pound pared its initial weakness seen on a terrible UK labour figure, which showed employment surprisingly contracting in October and unemployment moving higher. The Swiss Franc was the clear outperformer and supported by positive US/Switzerland trade talks, as reports continue to suggest the US will lower the tariff rate to 15%. The crude complex was firmer and buoyed by the turnaround in risk sentiment alongside continued Russian refinery attacks. As mentioned above, T-Note futures were bid after soft preliminary weekly ADP figures but note cash bonds were closed due to Veterans Day. The preliminary weekly ADP report for the four weeks ending 25th October saw private employers cut an average of 11,250 jobs per week. This suggests the labour market struggled to produce jobs consistently during the second half of October. Amid the current lack of government data, the ADP reports are highly watched to gauge the health of the labour market. This report has bolstered labour market concerns and saw traders boost Fed rate cut bets, despite Fed Chair Powell’s pushback against a December cut being a foregone conclusion at the October FOMC meeting. Markets are currently pricing in 17bps of easing, implying a 68% probability of a 25bps rate cut. With prospects improving of the government reopening, we may be in a position where the September and October NFP reports, as well as the October inflation reports, will be seen before the Fed meeting on December 10th. Elsewhere, Oil closed higher by 1.35% and Gold by 0.27%.
