S&p 500 futures hover around 5

S&P 500 futures hover around 5,038 with limited volatility ahead of Fed Chair’s testimony. Traders expect language hinting at data-dependent policy moves, potentially impacting equity valuations in interest rate-sensitive sectors. Thus, Bitcoin's early October rally has crypto market participants already talking up the potential of yet another "Uptober."

TORONTO -- Vladimir Guerrero Jr. 's playoff career before Saturday was not befitting a $500 million franchise cornerstone. The Toronto Blue Jays first baseman managed just three hits in 25 plate appearances and didn't hit a ball over the fence across six games.

S&P 500 futures are holding steady as investors digest mixed earnings guidance from major financial institutions. Sector rotation toward value stocks appears increasingly likely in this environment.
