The S&P 500 gained 0.6%, nearing the all-time high it set earlier this month, while the Dow rose 0.7% and the Nasdaq composite 1.1%. SpaceX shares climbed 7.2% after its summer profit beat expectations, and Elon Musk said SpaceX has taken steps to consider a possible merger with Tesla, whose shares rose 3.3%.

The 10-year Treasury yield rose to 5.14%, and Brent crude settled at $108.82 a barrel.

- OpenAI Plans to Buy Google's AI Chips as It Looks Beyond Nvidia: Report
According to The Information, OpenAI plans to buy Google's TPU AI chips, a move that would loosen its dependence on Nvidia, though neither company has confirmed it and the price, volume and timing remain undisclosed. OpenAI reportedly began renting TPUs from Google in mid-2025 and is hiring an engineer to optimize its frontier models for them, while preparing its own Broadcom-built chip, Jalapeño, for deployment by the end of 2026. Owning TPUs would replace paying Google by the hour, and switching chips is harder than swapping parts because it involves compiler work. Alphabet's CFO expects most revenue from its TPU system sales in 2027.
- Why Micron Stock Is Up Today
Micron Technology (MU) shares rose 5.5% as of 2:24 P.M. ET on Wednesday, October 28, after rival SK Hynix reported strong third-quarter results. SK Hynix posted revenue up 328% year over year to 104.6 trillion won ($78.9 billion) and operating profit up 632%, and said it expects demand to exceed supply through 2030 due to the difficulty of manufacturing advanced chips and the time needed to build factories. The article says tight supply could support Micron's pricing power, noting its latest revenue of $54.23 billion (up from $11.32 billion) and GAAP net income of $37.70 billion (up from $3.2 billion). It also cautions that the memory industry has traditionally followed boom-and-bust cycles.

- Bond investor Jeff Gundlach on Fed's rate pause: 'What are you waiting for?'
DoubleLine founder Jeff Gundlach told CNBC it is unclear why the Federal Reserve is waiting to raise rates further after holding them unchanged at its October meeting. After the Fed's 25-basis-point hike in September, he argued it should have raised rates by 50 basis points at once rather than gradually, and he worried that the scale of U.S. inflation, still above the Fed's 2% annualized target, was not fully respected. Fed Chairman Warsh also said that one meeting in 2027 and two in 2028, out of eight scheduled, will focus on monetary policy strategy with no rate vote. CME's FedWatch tool shows an 85% chance of a 25-basis-point hike at the December meeting, and the Fed said it will use further information to return inflation to its 2% goal.
- Oracle stock pops 13% as long-term revenue forecast and clarity on financing ease debt concerns
Oracle shares rose about 12% on Wednesday after the company forecast $225 billion in revenue for fiscal 2030, implying average annual growth of 35%, and said it will limit additional fundraising over that period to $20 billion. Funding for fiscal 2027 through 2030 will be split equally between equity and debt, while vendor financing, customer-provided hardware and customer prepayments are expected to reduce upfront cash needs. Oracle had lost about one-third of its value this year on worries about rising interest rates and its heavy debt load tied to AI infrastructure spending; it has issued $117 billion in long-term debt and holds a BBB- rating from S&P. Capital expenditures are expected to rise 65% to $91.9 billion this fiscal year, according to FactSet, and Oracle expects positive free cash flow from the second half of fiscal 2028. The spread on its five-year credit default swaps stands at 277 basis points, down from about 320 basis points earlier this month.
- Brazilian companies boosted stablecoins in weekend trading during heated election
According to the transcript, Brazilian companies used stablecoins on Sunday, October 25, the day of the presidential runoff, to guard against a currency crash. USDT volume on exchange Mercado Bitcoin rose nearly 800% and Bitcoin volume surged 865%, while Binance's USDT/BRL market tripled as the global BTC/USDT pair fell. The speaker said stablecoins effectively served as a de facto weekend forex market when people could not access their portfolios or traditional financial services, showing how they help people without easy access to US dollars.
- Alphabet Is Only Up 3% This Year: Will Today's Earnings Report Make or Break GOOGL Stock?
Alphabet is up 3% year to date at $324.33 ahead of its Q3 2026 earnings, trailing Microsoft (up 10%) and Meta (down 7%). The stock has slipped as investors weigh heavy AI spending: Q2 capital expenditures reached $44.92 billion, free cash flow turned negative at $5.86 billion, and long-term debt rose from $46.5 billion to $98.2 billion while buybacks were suspended. Q2 Google Search revenue grew 17% and Google Cloud jumped 82% to $24.77 billion, but investors want proof that spending converts into revenue, and rival AI assistants such as Meta's new Muse agent could erode search. Alphabet stock rose 10% after Q1 and fell 7% after Q2, even though both 2026 reports beat estimates.
- 3 Dow Jones stocks with questionable fundamentals
The article identifies three Dow Jones stocks with questionable fundamentals: 3M (MMM), Sherwin-Williams (SHW) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM). 3M, with a market cap of $88.66 billion and shares at $171.63 (17.9x forward P/E), has seen organic sales weaken over two years, with productivity and EPS declining over five years. Sherwin-Williams (market cap $78.68 billion, shares at $328.98, 25.2x forward P/E) grew annual sales 4% over the last two years, lagging industrials peers, and anticipates 4.6% sales growth next year. JPMorgan Chase (market cap $891.7 billion) posted annual revenue growth of 8% over two years and a 2.5% net interest margin, and the market expects its efficiency ratio to worsen by 1.7 percentage points.
- Is AMD Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold Right Now? Here's What I'm Doing.
AMD stock is up about 140% so far in 2026, while rival Nvidia is up about 13%. AMD is catching up in AI after lagging early, with deals with hyperscalers such as OpenAI lifting second-quarter data center revenue 107% year over year to $6.7 billion. Analysts expect growth of 41% next quarter, 57% in the fourth quarter and 75% in 2027. The author argues this growth is already priced in: AMD trades at 68 times forward earnings, versus 27 times trailing earnings for Nvidia. Given this valuation, the author says the stock is more likely to underperform or lose value, and suggests investors may consider rotating into Nvidia and taking profits.
