- Nasdaq 100 Records Worst Week In 18 Months As Investors Steer Clear Of Chipmakers — AAPL, MSTR, UBER, SOXX In Focus
The Nasdaq 100 fell 2.5% on Friday, its worst week in over a year and a half, while the S&P 500 dropped 1.1% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.3%. Chip stocks led the decline, with semiconductor ETFs down 3% to 4% and Micron (MU), Nvidia (NVDA) and Broadcom (AVGO) among the weakest names. Investor anxiety grew over the heavy spending and debt tech firms are taking on to fund AI expansion, with CoreWeave shares falling almost 12% on the day and 25% on the week as its debt load topped $51 billion. An Angeles executive said current debt levels remain far from systemic danger, while Nvidia's Jensen Huang argued the AI benefits will outweigh investor concerns. Elsewhere, Apple (AAPL) is preparing to fight U.K. antitrust regulators over tap-to-pay rules, Strategy (MSTR) fell after MSCI's new index screening approach put its membership at risk, and ExxonMobil (XOM) said higher refining margins could add about $4.5 billion to third-quarter results versus the prior quarter.

Apple's revenue in the third quarter of 2026 reached $109.4 billion, up 16% year over year and above expectations, though a softer near-term outlook weighed on sentiment. Investors are now watching the November 2 earnings call for demand guidance.

- Chipotle Mexican Grill is about to report earnings. Here's what to expect
Chipotle Mexican Grill reports quarterly earnings after the bell on Wednesday. Based on LSEG analysts, the company is expected to post earnings of 29 cents per share and revenue of $3.29 billion, while StreetAccount estimates same-store sales growth of 1.5%. The article says Chipotle appears to have fully rebounded from a weak 2025, when traffic and same-store sales fell. Its shares have fallen nearly 22% this year, bringing market cap to about $36 billion, and Semafor reported the company hired advisors to defend against activist investors or an unwanted takeover.
- Why higher yields are making bonds attractive again
J.P. Morgan Asset Management global market strategist Stephanie Aliaga said higher yields have made fixed income more attractive in portfolios. She noted clients are wary of the AI trade, though she sees its fundamentals, particularly AI-related revenue growth, as still robust, while the market is entering a more discerning phase where higher financing costs separate business models. She still views the outlook for risk assets as constructive but stressed the need for protection in portfolios, as past recessions were largely missed by forecasts. On the Fed's expected December hike and possibly another in Q1 or Q2 next year, she believes this is already priced in; if inflation cools and geopolitical tensions do not flare up, markets could see relief that might also help parts of the AI trade that had become overstretched.
- 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.
- OpenAI Plans to Buy Google's AI Chips as It Looks Beyond Nvidia: Report
According to The Information, OpenAI is reportedly planning to buy Google's TPU AI chips, though neither company has confirmed the plan and the price, volume and timing have not been disclosed. The report says OpenAI began renting Google's TPUs in June 2025, is hiring an engineer to optimize its frontier models for them, and is preparing its Jalapeño chip, built with Broadcom, for deployment by the end of 2026. Buying chips would reduce its reliance on Nvidia, which supplies most of the hardware behind the AI boom. Nvidia had signed a letter of intent to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI but ultimately put in $30 billion, while AMD gave OpenAI the right to buy up to 160 million shares. Alphabet's CFO expects most revenue from its TPU system sales in 2027.
- 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.
