Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
Tech and AI-led chip rebound lifted the Nasdaq and snapped SOX's eight-session losing streak, but Treasuries sold off as haven demand faded and traders rebuilt Fed hike expectations. Brent settled above USD109/bbl after Iran reportedly asserted control over the Strait of Hormuz, while French political risk and Ukraine tensions weighed on the euro. China 3Q26 GDP grew 4.5% YoY; Canada headline CPI rose to 3.1% on energy.
