"This quarter is all about higher interest rates for longer," said Mike Mayo, an analyst at Wells Fargo. "There is a constructive environment, and investment banking fees tend to be higher through the end of the year," said Jason Goldberg, a banking analyst at Barclays. Despite the renewed optimism, investment banking activity remains depressed. As rates rise, bond prices fall, representing losses on paper that would be realized if the banks sold the bonds. More broadly, "we're back into this environment where investors think interest rates are going to remain higher for longer," he said.

The IPO gave Instacart a valuation of nearly $9.9 billion, a fraction of the $39 billion it was worth in 2021, the company's last funding round. Reuters GraphicsSeveral startups' valuations have shrunk since 2022 as inflation, geopolitical tensions and the Federal Reserve's rapid rate hikes soured the economic climate. But a lukewarm reception to Neumora Therapeutics' (NMRA.O) IPO last week hinted at limited investor enthusiasm for new listings. Arm soared on its first day of trading but has dropped every day since then. Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan are the lead underwriters for Instacart's IPO.

Sept 18 (Reuters) - Marketing automation company Klaviyo on Monday increased the proposed price range for its initial pubic offering (IPO) due this week, targeting a fully diluted valuation of up to $9 billion. Klaviyo said in a filing nearly 19.2 million shares would be sold in the IPO, priced between $27 and $29 each. The IPO, which is scheduled to price on Tuesday, is nearly 20 times oversubscribed because of investor demand, Reuters reported last week. A strong debut from SoftBank's Arm Holdings last week raised hopes of a rebound in the IPO market, but the lukewarm reception to Neumora Therapeutics (NMRA.O) has tempered some optimism. Klaviyo's hike comes after another IPO contender, Instacart, raised its price range on Friday.

Nasdaq plans to list options on Arm Holdings across all six of its exchanges, a spokesperson for the exchange said on Friday. Other options exchange operators, Cboe Global Markets (CBOE.Z) and Intercontinental Exchange's (ICE.N) New York Stock Exchange, did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on their own plans to list ARM options. "I have every reason to believe that when ARM options are listed they will be very popular," Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers, said. Arm Holdings is of significant interest to retail investors, Dan Raju, chief executive at online brokerage firm Tradier, said. I expect the listing of options to also see an initial surge in options activity followed by a tapering," he said.

Brighter data from China meanwhile has helped lift sentiment across global markets, except for China, heading into the weekend. While Japan's Nikkei (.N225) rose 1% and European shares opened higher (.STOXX), China shares reversed earlier gains (.CSI300). European markets continued to cheer the likely end of the European Central Bank's rate hiking cycle. And even if the ECB suggested rates would stay higher for longer, markets are already looking past that to rate cuts as economic growth weakens.
