JPMorgan strategists, led by Mislav Matejka, say the rise in government bond yields this year may be nearing its limit, which could ease pressure on global equities through the final months of 2026. They note yields had become extended and bond markets showed signs of being oversold. During the peak of the yield increase, forward price-to-earnings ratios fell by about three points for the MSCI All-Country World Index and the S&P 500, and by about two points in Europe. The bank believes changes in US monetary policy expectations already explain most of this year's rise in 10-year Treasury yields, and it sees inflation expectations as relatively contained, even though recent US inflation readings beat expectations. It does not expect AI-related debt issuance to crowd out sovereign bond demand, but still flags France as a risk requiring monitoring, citing key differences from the 2010–2012 eurozone debt crisis.

- Jamie Dimon Sees 'Higher Chance' of Market Trouble Than Wall Street Does — ‘That Is Not a Prediction,’ but JPMorgan Is Preparing for the Risk
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said he still sees a greater chance of a market shock than most people do, but stressed that this is 'not a prediction' and reflects 'cautious preparation'. The bank's third-quarter revenue rose 8% year over year to $50.91 billion, missing expectations of $51.26 billion. Asked about a 6% 10-year Treasury yield and more Fed rate hikes, Dimon said such an outcome is possible and he would 'never take that off the table', adding that bond market turmoil will not change how JPMorgan serves clients. JPMorgan uses AI agents internally but will not let outside agents in, and Dimon said regulators should prepare for bots and agents causing harm. Shares rose 0.17% to $332.01 after hours and are up 2.86% year to date.
- JPMorgan's Dimon Says Federal Debt May Lead to Bond Volatility, Higher Rates
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon says federal debt, which adds about $2 trillion a year, could cause volatility in the bond market and higher rates. He wishes the government would form a real committee of Congress to tackle the problem, noting that the Simpson-Bowl Commission almost reached a deal that would have been a 'home run,' before a dispute between Obama and Paul Ryan over $800 billion (a 10-year figure) derailed it. Dimon says that approach is unlikely, so the first stage would likely be bond market volatility, rising yields and wider credit spreads, with a later bond sell-off possible if investors shun Treasuries over inflation fears. He says he would not rule that out but is not predicting it, adding that JPMorgan is 'completely prepared.'
- Investors Just Got Bad News From the Federal Reserve. Here's What History Says Comes Next.
The Fed has raised rates only once so far, yet futures are pricing in three more quarter-point hikes by mid-2027. Long-term yields are starting to stabilize and the S&P 500 is near all-time highs on AI-driven earnings growth, but the latest Fed minutes point to keeping rates higher for longer. Historically, aggressive hikes in 1994 left the S&P 500 with a small return that year before a strong rally the following year, while tightening of more than four percentage points from 2004 to 2006 still produced positive returns. In 2022, however, both stocks and bonds fell sharply as the Fed responded too late. The author suggests buy-and-hold may be the most suitable approach for investors with a horizon of 10 years or more, and notes that funds such as VOO still hold about 40% in tech and 40% in the 10 largest companies, which could leave portfolios exposed to a correction.
- The S & P 500 Is Just Shy of a Record With 10 Weeks Left in the Year . Here What History Says Could Happen Next .
The S&P 500 closed at 7,757.17 on Oct. 21, about 0.8% below its record close of 7,818.93 on Oct. 6, and is up roughly 13% in 2026 despite the Federal Reserve's September rate increase, its first in over three years. Since 1928, the index has been within 1% of a record on Oct. 21 in 16 years, and all 16 set a new record close before year-end. In two of them (1964 and 1968), the index finished below its Oct. 21 level, and the median year gained around 4%. The author calls the small sample a limit, not a forecast of a big year-end gain, and flags risks including the 10-year Treasury yield topping 5.3% and a rally driven by a narrow group of AI stocks.
- The 10-Year Treasury Is Above 5% for the First Time in Almost 20 Years. History Says This Is How the S&P 500 Index Will Perform Over the Next 12 Months.
The 10-year Treasury yield closed at 5.06% on October 15, its first close above 5% since July 19, 2007, a level viewed as a key anchor for pricing across the economy. The article compares this with 2007, when the S&P 500 fell 19% in the following 12 months and 11% over the next five years, after yields had risen 26% in the prior four years. Yields have also climbed 26% in the past year as the central bank raises rates to fight stubborn inflation. Key differences include a normal yield curve today versus an inverted one in 2007, stricter bank rules after Dodd-Frank, and a stock market dominated by profitable tech firms. The article argues investors should stay focused on high-quality companies for the long term.
- The 10 - Year Treasury Is Above 5 % for the First Time in Almost 20 Years . History Says This Is How the S & P 500 Index Will Perform Over the Next 12 Months .
On October 15, the 10-year Treasury yield stood at 5.06%, having crossed 5% about three weeks earlier for the first time since July 19, 2007. The article draws parallels to 2007, when the S&P 500 fell 19% over the next 12 months and 11% over the following five years, after the yield had risen 26% in the prior four years. Today the yield has risen 26% over the past 12 months as the Federal Reserve raises rates against stubborn inflation, and the S&P 500 sits near record highs. Key differences, however, include stricter bank rules since the Dodd-Frank Act of July 2010, a normal yield curve instead of an inverted one, and an index led by profitable tech giants. The article concludes that long-term investors should stay the course and invest early and often.

- Audi defends plans for a $4 billion Georgia plant amid VW restructuring, tariffs
Audi CEO Gernot Dollner defended the carmaker's plan for a $4 billion plant in Georgia, its first in the U.S., which President Donald Trump announced at a Georgia rally on Saturday. Dollner said the move aims to grow sales and reduce exposure to U.S. tariffs, and that it does not take work away from Germany, which remains the backbone of the brand. The site followed more than 70 locations evaluated over many months and is expected to begin production of the Q7, Q8 and Q9 in the early 2030s, with capacity of up to 200,000 vehicles a year, roughly half to be exported. The announcement comes as parent Volkswagen plans to cut 50,000 jobs and close four German plants, including an Audi facility, between 2031 and 2034. U.S. tariffs cost Audi 1.2 billion euros ($1.4 billion) last year, and tariffs on German vehicles are now 15%, down from 25%.
- Wells Fargo, Cisco, Intuit Among 6 More Companies Objecting to Tokenized Stocks
Six more companies, including Wells Fargo, Cisco, Marvell, Arm, Moderna and Intuit, have objected to trading their shares on OKXICE TSV, according to an Oct. 23 notice, bringing the total to 22, up from 16 on Oct. 19 and nine on Oct. 15. The notices do not explain the companies' reasons or the effect of an objection. The venue, a 50-50 joint venture of Intercontinental Exchange and OKX's U.S. holding company, plans to let approved users trade tokenized U.S. stocks 24/7, paired with stablecoins such as USDC, under the SEC's innovation exemption. The latest notice also flags risks, including no circuit breakers beyond trading halts, no policies on maximal extractable value, unsettled questions for broker-dealers on trade reporting and best execution, and smart contracts that can be upgraded without advance notice. Nasdaq has said it will opt its shares out of the exemption.
- Does enough capital exist to finance everyone's ambitious AI spending plans?
Meta said recent capital raises by peers such as Alphabet and SpaceX, plus expected fundraising by Anthropic and OpenAI, have created an 'increasingly challenging' fundraising environment, raising doubts over whether enough capital exists for AI spending. Meta's revenue rose 26% to $64.6 billion, though free cash flow was negative $2.1 billion, and it raised the low end of its 2026 capex forecast to $135 billion to $145 billion. Broadcom's Hock Tan and BlackRock's Larry Fink voiced similar concerns as AI-linked stocks led a Nasdaq selloff of 2.6%, with Nvidia down 4.4% and CoreWeave down 10.1%. Yardeni Research said money moved to other parts of the market, as the equal-weighted S&P 500 rose 0.7% while the cap-weighted version fell 1.2%, and Treasury yields dropped. Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft and Oracle are projected to spend almost $780 billion in 2026 and more than $1 trillion a year from 2027 through 2030.
- The Hidden $496 Billion Catalyst Waiting to Ignite Amazon Stock on Oct. 29
Amazon reports third-quarter results after the bell on Thursday, Oct. 29, and the article highlights its $496 billion AWS backlog as the key item to watch for conversion into revenue. Last quarter, Amazon's revenue rose 19.6% to $200.61 billion, while AWS grew 37% to $42.23 billion, its fastest pace in 18 quarters, and GAAP EPS of $5.75 included a $53.4 billion pre-tax gain on Anthropic. Management raised its 2026 cash capex forecast to roughly $220 billion from about $200 billion, citing higher memory costs, and guided third-quarter net sales to $197.0 billion to $202.0 billion and operating income to $22.5 billion to $26.5 billion. The author also focuses on AWS margins, which expanded 650 basis points year over year, and on trailing free cash flow of negative $7.6 billion, while CEO Andy Jassy said capacity remains the constraint on meeting 2026 demand. Shares were at $248, up 7.44% year to date.
- Up 35%, How Long Can Coca-Cola Continue Crushing the S&P 500?
Coca-Cola has returned 35% year to date, versus 14% for the S&P 500, its best year since 1996, but the article argues PepsiCo, with a total return of around -3% so far in 2026, has become more attractive on valuation and income. Coca-Cola trades at 29 times earnings compared with PepsiCo's 17, while PepsiCo's dividend yield of 4.2% is higher than Coca-Cola's 2.2%. PepsiCo's revenue growth of 6% in its latest quarter was close to Coca-Cola's 7%, after it cut prices on some items and added healthier ingredients. Both companies hold Dividend King status, with 64 and 54 years of dividend increases respectively, and analysts forecast 4% revenue growth for Coca-Cola in 2026. The author suggests Coca-Cola could struggle to attract additional buyer interest, though its growth is likely enough to keep income-oriented shareholders.
- Sundar Pichai Reported Alphabet's Cloud Revenue Grew 82% Last Quarter While the Gemini App Reached 950 Million Monthly Users. Is Google Cloud Becoming a Bigger Growth Driver Than Search?
Google Cloud revenue for the latest quarter rose 82% year over year to $24.8 billion, adding $11.2 billion amid heavy AI infrastructure spending. Google Search grew more slowly, up 17% to $63.3 billion, but its $9.1 billion increase was smaller than Cloud's, so the author argues Cloud now matters more to Alphabet's revenue growth than Search. The author sees chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude, along with Gemini (950 million monthly active users), as a real risk to search volumes and ad revenue, but notes Gemini also underpins Alphabet's services, including AI summaries in Search. Total Alphabet revenue grew 23% year over year last quarter.
