Stocks put in a bounce despite slowest China GDP in a year; Metals and Treasury futures rallied.

Stocks are seeing a morning bounce, led by the Russell 2000 futures up 1.34%, with the Nasdaq up 1.03%. China reported its slowest Q3 GDP growth in a year at 4.8%, year over year, yet the People's Bank of China kept rates unchanged. Weakness in property and consumption keeps global commodity demand at risk. Despite this, metals are higher, and US Treasury yields are lower. The 30-Year yield is at 4.58%, its lowest since March, and the 10-Year yield is back at 3.99%, its lowest settlement in a year. Gold is above $4,300, and Silver is above $51. An advisor predicted the government shutdown will likely end this week. Investors are looking ahead to a busy week of corporate earnings, with 11 companies reporting after the close today and 25 more tomorrow morning, including GE Aerospace, Lockheed Martin, and General Motors. Tomorrow's economic data includes Canadian CPI and a speech from Fed Governor Christopher Waller before the Fed's quiet period begins.
