Financial Market Preview - Friday 18-Oct

US futures are signaling a mixed open today, following a similar trend seen in European and Asian markets. Market attention is focused on China’s latest economic data, where Q3 GDP growth slowed less than expected on a year-over-year basis. Strong September activity data helped offset concerns about the slowdown. Meanwhile, China's property market continues to struggle. Geopolitical tensions remain a key concern, with Israel's military targeting Hamas leaders, intensifying calls to end the war in Gaza. Discussions also continue around Israel’s response to an Iranian missile attack.Companies Mentioned: Intel, Marvell Technology, Apple, CSX Corp, Canadian Pacific Kansas City
