The increase was driven largely by transport costs, particularly motor fuels, while core inflation reached 2.8% and services inflation 3.7%. RBC Capital Markets said the data removed the final obstacles to a November Bank of England rate hike, and Peel Hunt's Kallum Pickering shifted his call from a hold to a quarter-point increase.

- Sullivan: What the 2026 midterms could mean for energy investors
The author expects only limited near-term moves in energy stocks after the midterm elections, with investment implications mainly over the longer term. Even if Democrats win one or both chambers of Congress, the change is unlikely to meaningfully alter policy, though S&P Global says it could bring tougher oversight of agency decisions and affect tax incentives for long-term energy investments. At the state level, Gina Hinojosa in Texas supports a moratorium on new data center builds, Amy Acton in Ohio backs a conditional moratorium, and Vivek Ramaswamy calls for conditions on new construction. Bank of America says Georgia, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Texas matter most for utility stocks, with Texas the most consequential after state environmental regulators halted data center permits. Power demand would likely stay at current levels even if some large projects are stalled or stopped, and U.S. oil production is at a record high.
- Jim Cramer likes CrowdStrike's new 'AI kill switch' and the cyber stock
Jim Cramer praised CrowdStrike's AI Kill Switch, unveiled at the European leg of its Fal.Con conference as a new feature of its Falcon Guardian platform, calling it a game-changer and the "holy grail" because it lets security teams take control of AI agents that stray from assigned behavior. CrowdStrike shares rose about 1% after the news. The backdrop is growing safety concern after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for an industry slowdown in AI development on Sept. 12; CrowdStrike rose nearly 14% on Sept. 14 and closed at a record $278 on Oct. 6, before falling about 12% since. The CNBC Investing Club sold some shares late last month after the stock rallied, realizing a gain of roughly 187% on shares bought in late 2024, and keeps a hold-equivalent 2 rating with a weighting above 4%.
- Dell (DELL): A Top 10 Cheap AI Stock Trading at 13x Forward Earnings
Dell ranks 10th on a list of the 10 best cheap stocks heading into 2027, citing a forward P/E of 13, expected 2027 revenue growth of nearly 34%, and popularity among hedge funds. The article recalls an October 30 tech selloff that pushed MSCI's global index down 1.5% and the Philadelphia semiconductor index down more than 7%, after Intel and Amazon results showed how much cash AI spending is burning. Interest rates were also a major factor, with 10-year Treasury yields near 5.3%. Dell booked a record $60.9 billion of AI server orders in its fiscal second quarter and ended it with a $95 billion backlog, lifting its full-year revenue outlook to $192 billion. Revenue from traditional servers and networking jumped 122% as customers replace aging data center equipment, and management said demand is running ahead of the supply Dell can secure.

- Rivian Raised Guidance to 67,000-70,000 Deliveries. Here's the Q4 Number the R2 Ramp Must Hit -- and What the Stock Does if It Doesn't.
Rivian reported third-quarter revenue up 38% year over year to $2.16 billion, beating analyst estimates by $160 million, and its adjusted net loss narrowed to $0.48 per share from $0.65. Deliveries rose 46% to a record 19,248 vehicles, and Rivian raised its full-year delivery guidance to 67,000-70,000 vehicles from 65,000-70,000, implying roughly 25,000-28,000 deliveries in the fourth quarter. The R2 SUV is central to that target; CEO RJ Scaringe said it was the best-selling vehicle by volume in the third quarter, though Rivian has not disclosed its exact R2 count. The article flags two risks: inflation and rising interest rates could slow EV sales, and some buyers may wait for cheaper R2 trims due next year. At $13 per share, the stock trades 83% below its $78 IPO price, with an enterprise value of $20.5 billion, under three times this year's sales; the article argues this low valuation could limit downside, while hitting or beating the target could lead to a revaluation as a high-growth EV stock.
