The S&P 500 rose 1.56% to 6,654.72 as Trump’s softer stance on China trade eased market fears. Gains were tempered by record-high gold prices, reflecting lingering caution ahead of Q3 earnings, which are expected to rise 8.8% year-over-year. Gold rose to $4,109.88 as trade tensions and the US shutdown boosted safe-haven demand, with XAU/USD staying firmly bullish. The Coindesk Indices, which tracks the broader crypto market, rose 2.87% with Bitcoin and Ether up 1.30% and 3.42%, respectively in the past 24 hours.
