Globes publishes a comprehensive review ahead of the opening of trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange on Monday, November 2, 2026. The review focuses on five main topics: the stock market, the bond market, the US midterm elections, earnings season in Israel and the US, and a shift from technology stocks to equal-weight indices. The exchange opens a new week amid political uncertainty in Israel and ahead of the US elections, alongside geopolitical tension with Iran. However, a report in Axios indicates Trump's preference for a diplomatic solution in a conversation with Netanyahu. Asia is recording gains, and Wall Street futures are rising by up to 0.9%, while oil is falling by 3%. The earnings season in Tel Aviv officially opens with reports from Tower, Teva, Camtek, Nova, and El Al. In the US, Apple and Palantir will report tonight. The review notes a rotation in the market in favor of the equal-weight S&P 500 index, which rose by 4.8% in October compared to a decline of 0.9% in the regular index. Additionally, the Accountant General's Office is expanding the dual listing of four series of government bonds denominated in dollars and euros.
