In economic data, initial jobless claims for the week ending October 23 totaled 434,000, which is well below the 458,000 initial claims that had been expected, on average, the tally was also the smallest since July. More impressive is that continuing claims which fell to 4.36 million, which is a near two-year low.

It's a busy day in terms of data to watch out for in US, the GDP growth for the third quarter is seen higher at 2% compared to the 1.7% growth in Q2. Meanwhile the final consumer sentiment index for October is seen marginally higher at 68 compared to the 67.9 recorded in mid-October.
The Chicago PMI in October is expected to come in lower around 57.6 compared to 60.4.
The dollar fell in tandem with treasury yields as investors once again reassessed how much money the US Federal Reserve was likely to commit to a second round of monetary stimulus when it meets next week.
Oil prices moved higher supported by positive US jobless claims data and as the dollar weakened on rising worries about the extent of an expected US Federal Reserve monetary easing.
Copper rose for the fourth time in five sessions as the dollar declined, boosting demand for metals as alternative investments.

US Markets:
US stocks rose to a five-and-a-half month high on Monday as a falling dollar, partly driven by expectations of further stimulus by the Federal Reserve, prompted investors to buy riskier assets.

The slide in the greenback continued after a weekend meeting of the Group of 20 stopped short of setting targets to reduce trade imbalances. Bets the Fed will stimulate growth by effectively printing money to buy assets has weakened the dollar, which in turn has lifted commodity prices.
"We have a lower dollar, we have low and benign interest rates, and you can't beat that combination for reflating the economy or stock prices," said Hugh Johnson, chief investment officer of Hugh Johnson Advisors LLC in Albany, New York.

Equities and the dollar have formed an inverse relationship, so as the dollar drops, equities often advance. Since September 1, the S&P has risen 13% while the dollar index, which measures its value against major currencies, has lost 7.4%.
The S&P materials sector, which is particularly sensitive to the weak dollar, gained 1.7% and was the index's best performing group. Freeport-McMoRan Copper and Gold Inc advanced 2.2% to USD 96.07.
But stocks finished the session well off their highs as the dollar came off its lows late and the euro pared gains.
"It's all about the currency - the dollar strengthened and euro faded," said Stephen Massocca, managing director at Wedbush Morgan in San Francisco.
"Commodities, including copper, also did the same thing, their gains were lost toward the market close."
The Dow Jones industrial average gained 31.49 points, or 0.28%, to 11,164.05. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index added 2.54 points, or 0.21%, to 1,185.62. The Nasdaq Composite Index advanced 11.46 points, or 0.46%, to 2,490.85.
The benchmark S&P 500 index ended at its highest since May 3.
In a research report, Goldman Sachs said the Federal Open Market Committee is almost certain to announce renewed monetary easing at its November 2-3 meeting.
Goldman analysts calculated the Fed may have to buy up to USD 4 trillion in assets to achieve desired growth and inflation targets.
Further boosting materials stocks was Eastman Chemical Co, which climbed 5.1% to USD 82.59 after it agreed to sell three plants to Mexican conglomerate Alfa for USD 600 million.
Both Office Depot Inc and tobacco company Lorillard Inc rallied after posting stronger-than-expected profits. Office Depot also said that its embattled chief executive would be stepping down, sending the stock up 3.5% to USD 4.79. Lorillard advanced 1.3% to USD 85.14.

US Markets:
US stocks could see big swings to the downside next week on any remotely "bad" news since volatility indexes are at levels considered too low.

Investors also will face a blizzard of earnings, which many analysts believe will continue to support the rally that began early this month. But any disappointments in either earnings or outlooks could, of course, trigger a sharp sell-off.
What's more, the market is likely to continue to garner support from investors' hopes that the Federal Reserve will take more steps to stimulate the economy, in what's known as "quantitative easing" or "QE2." The Fed is expected to unveil its initial commitment under QE2 at its November 2-3 meeting.
The Chicago Board of Options Exchange (CBOE) Volatility Index, or VIX, a gauge widely used to measure investors' anxiety levels, fell 2.54%on Friday to close at 18.78, its lowest level since April. The VIX, which rose to near 50 in May, has been around or under 20 for the past two weeks.
Options traders note that there is a clear sign of extreme complacency in the VIX and that it is making the market more vulnerable than before.
"The 'market volatility' index will see a lot more volatility (next week) since it is at such low levels now," said Steve Claussen, chief investment strategist at online brokerage OptionHouse.com.
The iPath S&P 500 VIX Short Term Futures exchange-traded note, or ETN is also at a new 52-week low of 12.83. The ETN offers directional exposure to volatility and is based off of the front two-month VIX futures.
"If you look at VIX futures, investors seem to be always preparing for something to trigger the volatility to spike up again, yet there is nothing major in the immediate future that justifies that," Claussen said.
The VIX futures were traded at around 21 for November and 24 for December, but going into 2011, they were showing an increase of 40%, trading above 26.
The VIX, widely known as Wall Street's fear gauge, is a 30-day risk forecast of stock market volatility. The index typically has an inverse relationship with the S&P benchmark as it tracks option prices that investors are willing to pay as protection on the underlying stocks.
Earlier this week, the VIX instantly shot up nearly 12% when stocks suffered their steepest one-day decline since August after a surprising rate hike from China.
Earnings on center stage
Earnings will remain the center of attention next week. Many analysts predict that earnings will continue to support the market rally that kicked off October. If more companies report strong results, that could bolster sentiment, along with hopes for more Fed easing.
In the last week of October, 177 S&P 500 companies are due to report their balance sheets, of which seven are Dow components. Among them are energy giants Exxon and Chevron and technology giant Microsoft.
S&P 500 earnings are expected to increase 28% for the third quarter from a year ago, up from a growth estimate of 24% last week, according to Thomson Reuters data.
"The earnings are expected to be good next week as well ... we are not expecting any bad news out of there," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Avalon Partners, in New York.
But Cardillo said that negative news from economic data could spark market volatility, especially as it would come just a week before the November 2-3 meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee, or FOMC, and in the week preceding the November 2nd mid-term elections.
Major economic data for the coming week includes existing home sales, durable goods orders and third-quarter GDP.
Elliot Spar, options market strategist at Stifel Nicolaus, also said a sell-off could begin as early as next week in anticipation of the Fed meeting and the mid-term elections.
"For those that are waiting for the 'sell on the news' event on November 3 when the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee concludes its meeting to discuss the prospect of another round of quantitative easing, I believe that the sell-off in the market will start during the week of October 25."
All three major indexes capped a third straight week of gains. For the week, the Dow and the S&P 500 each rose 0.6% while the Nasdaq gained 0.4%.
From the technical viewpoint, a key support for the S&P 500 was seen at the 10-day moving average, which was at 1,175 as of Friday.
"A clear one-day break of the 10-day moving average with a follow-through to the downside the next day could be the catalyst for a meaningful pullback in the market," Spar said
