Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon are set to report earnings this week, as investors look for more clues on where the AI trade is headed, while the Federal Reserve announces its policy decision on Wednesday. Koyfin data show Microsoft expected to post EPS of $4.72 and revenue of $90.75 billion, with focus on Azure growth after it guided to about 45% in July. Wall Street expects Amazon EPS of $1.96 on $202.20 billion in revenue, and Alphabet EPS of $2.97 on $127.83 billion, after raising its capital expenditure outlook in July. CME FedWatch shows a 90% probability that the Fed holds rates between 3.75% and 4.00%, with the two-year Treasury yield in focus. SK Hynix is also expected to report third-quarter revenue of $74.81 billion.

- Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon Make Up About 15% of the S&P 500. All 3 Report Earnings Within 2 Days.
The S&P 500 is up about 12% in 2026 excluding dividends, while Microsoft is up about 8%, Amazon about 7%, and Alphabet about 2% (based on its Class A shares); together these three stocks make up about 15% of the index. Microsoft and Alphabet report quarterly results on October 28, and Amazon follows on October 29. By the author's estimate, Apple and Nvidia added about 3 percentage points to the index's 12% gain, while the three laggards added about 1 point; had they matched the index, the fund would have gained almost 13%. Each stock has moved roughly 10% or more the day after at least one report this year. For a $10,000 position in an S&P 500 fund (about $1,500 in these three stocks), reactions like those after their July reports would add about $110, while reactions like those after the January and February reports would take away about $80. The author would not change anything in an S&P 500 fund before October 28.

Latest news
- Bank of Japan is expected to hold rates this week — but stay hawkish: CNBC survey
A CNBC survey of 16 economists and analysts found all expect the Bank of Japan to keep its policy rate at 1.25% at the end of its two-day meeting on Friday. Most expect a rate hike in December or January next year as domestic inflation and wages keep rising, with core inflation excluding fresh foods at 2.1% and inflation-adjusted wages up 1.5% from a year earlier. Some analysts see no clear sign inflation is accelerating enough to justify consecutive hikes, and say the policy board may lack consensus given the fragile domestic bond market. The 10-year JGB yield is expected to reach 3% to 3.1% by year-end, up from 2.809%, while the terminal rate is seen at 1.75% to 2% by around mid-2027.
- "Undercurrent" Strikes NATO: Turkey Blocks Allied Fleet, Exposing What Russia Gains
A Russian outlet, TST, argues that Turkey's control of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles under the 1936 Montreux Convention limits how quickly NATO can bring warships into the Black Sea. Romania is preparing 4 billion euros to upgrade NATO's largest coastal base, but the article says the alliance's Black Sea deployments depend on Ankara's decisions. The US and Eastern European allies want a larger presence, while European capitals worry about direct confrontation with Russia and Turkey does not want permanent foreign naval presence there. According to the article, this limits NATO's ability to reinforce by sea, and Russia also cannot easily send extra ships from other fleets to the Black Sea Fleet.
- SpaceX's Adjusted Earnings Quadrupled in Q3. Is the Stock Heading Back to $200?
SpaceX reported third-quarter revenue of $14.6 billion, more than double the $5.6 billion a year earlier, with its Super Intelligence (SI) segment rising from $813 million to $7.6 billion. Adjusted EBITDA reached $8.8 billion versus $2.2 billion a year ago, and operating profit was $2.8 billion compared with a loss of $273 million. The author notes the stock still has a market cap of $2 trillion and trades at 85 times estimated future profits, so growth may already be priced in. The stock has not reached $200 since its early trading days after the IPO, and the author does not expect Q3 results alone to lift it there without a more significant catalyst.

- Could the Fed surprise with its rate decision this week?
The Fed is expected to hold its policy rate at 3.75-4% at its 27-28/10 meeting, even though September CPI and PPI both rose more than forecast and inflation has made little progress back toward the 2% target. Chair Kevin Warsh gave no signal on 16/10 that would change market expectations, cutting the odds of an October hike to about 15%. Robert Kaplan of Goldman Sachs said doing nothing is the option with the fewest hurdles, while Claudia Sahm argued the Fed has enough reason to act this week. The 10-year Treasury yield, which topped 5.3%, the highest in 24 years, fell 0.19 percentage points to 4.95% on 22/10 as tech stocks were sold off. Fed officials remain divided, with Logan, Hammack and Kashkari having opposed the July decision to hold rates.
- Here's Exactly What Investors Should Look for From the Federal Reserve's October Meeting
The Fed will announce its rate decision at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, and the CME FedWatch tool puts a 90% probability on holding the target range at 3.75%-4%. The statement is expected to use language similar to September's, when the Fed raised rates by a quarter point and said inflation remains elevated, while productivity growth is strong. A report on September's consumer spending and personal income, due Thursday, will offer a fresh look at the inflation picture. Markets are pricing in another quarter-point increase in December. The author notes that rate moves tend to be short-lived for high-quality stocks, so investors whose holdings may be vulnerable to rate news may want to review those positions more closely.
