Post-election polls published by major Israeli TV channels, which may contain errors, show voters gave opponents of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a significant majority in the new parliament. Netanyahu's bloc is projected to win about 50 seats, the opposition about 52 and Arab parties about 18, so forming a government remains uncertain and could take weeks of tense negotiations. Gadi Eisenkot, Netanyahu's main rival and a former military chief of staff, could form a government by cooperating with Arab-led parties, though that could face political obstacles. Turnout reached over 77%, the highest since 1999, and the vote is seen as a referendum on Netanyahu's nearly 17 years of continuous rule. If no bloc secures a majority, Israel could hold a new election early next year.

- Treasury yields tick higher ahead of Federal Reserve interest rate decision
Bond yields edged higher early Wednesday as investors awaited the Federal Reserve's policy decision, due later in the session. The 10-year Treasury yield, the main benchmark for mortgages, auto loans and credit card debt, rose more than 2 basis points to 5.0134%, while the 2-year yield, which tracks short-term Fed moves, rose 1 basis point to 4.7494%. The 30-year yield climbed more than 1 basis point to 5.3200%. CME FedWatch data showed a 90.6% probability that the FOMC will keep rates unchanged at 375-400 basis points, while expectations for a 25 basis point hike at the Dec. 9 meeting stood at 76.5%. Investors will watch Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's statement for signals on future policy, and Thursday's PCE inflation, GDP and personal income data for more insight into the economy.
- Interest Rates Should Remain Unchanged Today, but at Least 3 Federal Reserve Rate Hikes Are Expected by September 2027
The FOMC, led by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, will announce its decision at 2 p.m. ET on Oct. 28, with odds of keeping the federal funds rate at 3.75%-4.00% near 91%, up from 29% a month earlier. Per the CME FedWatch Tool, for the Sept. 15, 2027 meeting, the odds are nearly 56% that rates rise by at least 75 basis points. The article says Warsh and former Fed Chair Jerome Powell have identified tariffs under President Trump as lifting consumer prices, while the FOMC also points to the Iran war's disruption of the Strait of Hormuz and the AI infrastructure build-out. Import prices for computer and electronic products rose 7.4% in the first six months of 2026 to 77.1 points, the highest since January 2016, while September CPI rose 3.7% year over year. Because part of the AI build-out is debt-financed, the article warns that higher borrowing costs or slower data center construction could hit the stock market hard.
- Investors rush to buy gold ahead of Budget
Gold and silver purchases have jumped 210% over the past two weeks as investors worry about possible tax rises in the autumn Budget, with many turning to Britannia and Sovereign coins, typically seen as safe havens. The Pure Gold Company said that compared with an average of 400 weekly purchases ahead of Chancellor John Healey's maiden Budget on October 28, orders for gold coins, bars and funds rose 253% and silver purchases rose 167%. Last week the Chancellor ruled out raising capital gains tax (CGT) rates, but with government borrowing at £3tn, he is widely expected to add more financial pressure on taxpayers. Gold coins are exempt from CGT, while gold bars and ETFs held outside an Isa remain subject to it; for example, a £50,000 investment rising 40% could trigger a £4,080 CGT bill if held as bars or ETFs, but would be tax-free as coins.

- Oil prices rise as Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabian refinery raise supply worries
Oil prices rose on Wednesday as investors weighed a possibly prolonged and widening Middle East conflict after Tehran-backed Houthis attacked Saudi Arabia's largest refinery, Ras Tanura, with a ballistic missile. Brent rose $1.50, or 1.32%, to $115.59 a barrel, while WTI gained $1.47, or 1.47%, to $101.37. President Trump said the war with Iran would end on his terms and that Tehran must be prevented from acquiring nuclear weapons. Israel's election also appeared headed for a stalemate, as preliminary exit polls showed neither bloc reaching the 61 seats needed in the 120-seat parliament.
- Houthis attack Saudi Arabia's largest oil refinery
Yemen's Houthi forces claimed ballistic missiles hit the Ras Tanura refinery, Saudi Arabia's largest with capacity of 550,000 barrels per day, and spokesman Yahya Saree said the attack caused a fire. Nearly all of Saudi Arabia's oil exports are shipped through Ras Tanura and the Red Sea port of Yanbu, and Bloomberg, citing sources, said the fire near the Ras Tanura export port had been contained. The Houthis also claimed attacks on military transport planes at Najran airport, an air base in Khamis Mushait, the defense ministry in Riyadh and Abha airport, though Saudi Arabia has not confirmed them. On October 27, debris from intercepting two ballistic missiles over Riyadh damaged a building, a construction site and a car, and the Saudi-led coalition said it destroyed the missiles. The fighting has broken the UN-brokered 2022 ceasefire, and Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan recently met Iranian officials in Tehran to ease tensions.

- Google, Microsoft, and Amazon have to justify the AI spending boom this week
Google, Microsoft and Amazon report quarterly earnings this week, and the key question is how well their AI spending pays off compared with expected returns. These companies, which lead a week of results accounting for more than a third of S&P 500 earnings, face the same scrutiny Meta faced. Bank of America said hyperscalers' 2027 capex estimates have already been revised up by nearly 90% year to date. Competition for capital is intensifying as AI labs prepare large IPOs and businesses scale back AI spending and use cheaper models, making it more important to justify AI costs.
- GM is pitching itself more as a tech company like Tesla
General Motors said it will move its stock listing from the NYSE to the Nasdaq to reposition the legacy automaker as a tech-forward company, a change Walmart also made earlier this year. CFO Paul Jacobson said the customer-focused, technology-driven strategy is creating value for shareholders and that Nasdaq is a natural home as the company grows. GM is outfitting its vehicles with more sophisticated software and sensors and aims to cut its development cycle by half through AI tools and virtualization. Envorso founder Adrian Balfour is skeptical, saying the pitch would make sense only with a data or robotics business, as Tesla and SpaceX have.
- Kospi surges 7% as SK Hynix earnings fuel AI stock rebound
South Korea's Kospi rose 6.6% on Wednesday after SK Hynix reported a sevenfold jump in September-quarter operating profit to 83.3 trillion won ($62.5 billion), beating forecasts by more than 7%, and announced 60 trillion won ($45 billion) in buybacks and dividends for the rest of the fiscal year. SK Hynix shares climbed 11% and Samsung Electronics jumped 9%, while Micron and SanDisk gained 4% in U.S. premarket trading. The company said conventional and high-bandwidth memory is sold out through 2029, with shortages expected to last at least until 2030. The rally follows a few days of AI stock recovery after weeks of pressure as investors questioned AI infrastructure spending.
- Stellantis reports $4.5 billion cash drain as massive turnaround plan continues
Stellantis reported a 4 billion euro ($4.5 billion) cash shortfall in the third quarter as it continues its turnaround strategy of 60 billion euros ($66.7 billion) to restore profitability. Third-quarter revenue rose 1% to 37.6 billion euros, while adjusted operating income climbed 184% to 256 million euros from 90 million euros a year earlier. Negative industrial free cash flow narrowed to 4 billion euros from 4.3 billion a year earlier. Shares rose 3.6% after the European market opened but are down 62% since the start of the year. The company reaffirmed that it expects positive industrial free cash flow in 2027, and CEO Antonio Filosa said early progress has been made on the FaSTLAne 2030 plan.
- Bitcoin price eyes $82K as Morgan Stanley strategist says most of correction is over
Bitcoin approached $82,000 on Wednesday, extending its rebound as bid liquidity built up around $79,000 and $80,000, while South Korea's KOSPI rose 6.6%. Morgan Stanley's Mike Wilson said most of the tech stock correction is already over, and CME Group's FedWatch showed 90.6% odds that the Fed would keep rates in the 3.75-4% range. Crypto analyst Rekt Capital said Bitcoin's weekly chart resembles the 2022 structure, with resistance near $82,000 still unbroken and the pair yet to discard a $60,000-$80,000 accumulation range.
- Jamie Dimon finally retiring? He isn't showing it with his work on the SpaceX and Anthropic IPOs
Anthropic has chosen JPMorgan to lead US sales of shares to individual investors, according to Bloomberg, with CEO Jamie Dimon expected to take part in efforts to pitch the Anthropic story to average investors. JPMorgan had earlier compiled retail orders for the SpaceX (SPCX) IPO in June, and Dimon played a prominent role in the lead-up, holding a wide-ranging conversation with Elon Musk about SpaceX, Starlink and AI. Dimon, the longest-serving big bank CEO with more than 20 years in the job, has drawn retirement speculation for years. In June, the bank named Doug Petno and Troy Rohrbaugh co-presidents, and Marianne Lake announced her retirement. Dimon said the timing of succession is completely up to the board.
