- Santoli: We are nearing a now-or-never moment for the AI trade to rebound
The S&P 500 has moved sideways for months, while former AI leaders (tracked by the iShares AI Innovation ETF) fell 35 percentage points relative to the equal-weight S&P 500, recovered half, then gave back most of the bounce. Higher bond yields and oil above $100 a barrel have pressured cyclical sectors, and tighter debt markets are raising hurdle rates for marginal AI data-center borrowers. Goldman Sachs cited trader exhaustion, noting the momentum-factor basket moved at least 5% in a day 30 times in 2026. John Kolovos of Macro Risk Advisors says sentiment is nearing a “fat pitch” for a tactical rebound, but the macro backdrop must cooperate, and hedge funds have sharply cut leverage and tech exposure. Citadel Securities data show retail investors heavily buying dips, yet past market bottoms came when retail traders were net sellers, so any rebound may prove limited in strength and durability.
- US Equity Indexes Close Mixed This Week as Investors Rotate into Treasury Bonds, Defensives as AI Trade Falters
- Tumbling AI stocks overwhelm markets worldwide as oil prices jump
The S&P 500 fell 1.2% and the Nasdaq Composite tumbled 2.6% on Thursday, the index's worst day since July, as AI stocks slid on worries about the cost of borrowing to build data centers and high valuations. Lam Research dropped 11.6% despite slightly stronger-than-expected profit and revenue, while Meta fell 7.9%, Nvidia 4.3% and CoreWeave 11%. Asian markets also fell, with South Korea's Kospi down 3.5%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng down 3% and Japan's Nikkei 225 down 2.7%. Brent crude rose 3.7% to $112.80 a barrel, touching its highest level since May, while the 10-year Treasury yield fell to 4.96% from 5.13% as investors sought safer assets. Most U.S. stocks still rose, and the Dow Jones edged up less than 0.1%.
- Sinking AI stocks undercut markets worldwide as oil climbs to its highest price since May
The S&P 500 fell 1.3% and the Nasdaq composite was down 2.4% around midday, after sharper losses in Asia, while the Dow slipped only 0.1%. AI-related shares sank on worries about the rising cost of borrowing to build data centers and buy chips, as well as high valuations, with Lam Research down 11.1% despite a slight profit and revenue beat, Meta down 7.4%, Nvidia down 4.3% and CoreWeave down 9.6%. South Korea's Kospi fell 3.5%, and Brent crude rose 2.9% to $111.99 a barrel amid uncertainty over the war with Iran. The 10-year Treasury yield dropped to 4.98% from 5.13%, but remains well above its 3.97% level before the war as investors sought safer assets. Most S&P 500 stocks still rose, and results from Procter & Gamble, Lockheed Martin and CSX helped limit losses.

- S & P 500 rises as traders shift from AI to healthcare
The S&P 500 closed up 0.33% at 7,744.06 points on Thursday after recovering from early losses, as investors rotated out of AI-related tech stocks into healthcare and consumer names such as Eli Lilly, UnitedHealth and Walmart. Dell and Hewlett Packard Enterprise fell 6.9% and 7.1% on worries that AI companies carrying heavy debt would be hurt by higher borrowing costs, and the Philadelphia semiconductor index dropped 0.9%. Healthcare led the gains with a 1.84% rise, while the Nasdaq edged up 0.08% to 26,713.03 points and the Dow gained 1.08% to 52,177.69 points. Producer prices rose by the most in a 4-1/2-year period, and hot inflation data has raised expectations of Fed rate hikes, with markets pricing a 67% chance of a hike by December according to CME's FedWatch tool.

- Palantir Technologies (PLTR) Deepens Sovereign AI Deployments Across Sensitive Industries
Palantir Technologies (PLTR) announced a new wave of sovereign AI deployments with partners including L3Harris, McCarthy, NVIDIA, Ondas, and Tampa General Hospital. The collaborations span sensitive sectors such as defense, advanced manufacturing, construction, and healthcare, focusing on real-world AI workflows and data control. Clients use Palantir's platforms to fine-tune models, keep control over their data, and pursue operational efficiency. The article argues the moves reinforce the company's software moat but also heighten reliance on large U.S. government and defense contracts and a customer base skewed heavily toward the U.S. It suggests tracking upcoming earnings updates through late 2026 for disclosures on total contract value and how much demand comes from outside the U.S.
- Down 40%, Is Robinhood Stock a Buy on the Latest Dip?
Robinhood (HOOD) shares are down about 40% from their all-time highs, and a disappointing after-the-bell third-quarter earnings report on Oct. 27 added to the pressure. Crypto revenue fell 55% to $120 million, the fourth straight quarterly decline, while overall transaction revenue rose 19% to $867 million, helped by options and prediction-market event contracts. Adjusted EPS fell 3% to $0.60, though it beat the $0.56 analyst consensus. October deposits topped $13 billion, including $6 billion from the Dell Foundation. The article calls the stock not a bargain at a forward P/E of about 26.5 on 2027 estimates, but says it is nearing the point where investors may start to take interest as crypto becomes less of a drag.
- Bitcoin ETF Investors Head for the Exits After Record Binance Hack
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $643.2 million in outflows on Friday, their biggest outflow of October and first full session after the roughly $6.4 billion Binance hack. Ethereum ETFs extended their outflow streak to five days, about $431 million, and Solana ETFs lost about $72 million over the week. Bitcoin fell about 4% on Friday, with more than $1.3 billion in leveraged positions liquidated, before steadying near $77,520 on Saturday. Binance pledged to cover all losses with company funds and an emergency reserve, while Tether and Circle froze more than $2.3 billion in stolen stablecoins. The article notes the drop was far smaller than the nearly 11% plunge after a failed attack on Binance in 2018.
- Everything changed for the oil, AI and bond trades over the past month
Treasury yields and oil futures moved together through most of 2026, but that link broke in October. According to BlackRock's Jeffrey Rosenberg, treasuries and oil had an 80% correlation this year, and the breakdown reflects the AI trade's retreat, which the market now sees as a bigger risk than geopolitics. After a Nasdaq sell-off on Friday and Google's biggest single-day decline in its history, which wiped out half a trillion dollars in value, yields fell as investors read AI weakness as a sign of a softer U.S. economy. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh disagreed, arguing that investment is broadening beyond AI, even though business investment rose 12.7% in Q3, the biggest gain outside the pandemic since 2011. Rosenberg says long-dated Treasuries remain the only effective hedge in a disinflationary scenario, but high inflation and oil prices limit that role, and bonds could face pressure if the AI boom persists alongside U.S. fiscal challenges.
- Greg Abel Just Spent $330 Million on This Tech Stock. Here's What It Means for Investors.
In mid-October, Berkshire Hathaway under CEO Greg Abel put another $330 million of idle cash into Bending Spoons (BSP), adding to the roughly $600 million stake it bought in the company's IPO earlier this year. Bending Spoons, a $30 billion company, owns digital brands including Eventbrite, Evernote, Vimeo, AOL and Remini, with over 1 billion registered users and over 400 million monthly users. Its long-term debt rose from nearly $2.3 billion in mid-2025 to nearly $4.1 billion by June 2026, and the Berkshire share sale was a dilutive private placement of newly issued stock. Second-quarter revenue reached $704 million, up 126% year over year, with per-share earnings of $0.28 versus $0.11 a year earlier and adjusted earnings of $0.46 versus $0.17. Analysts expect 47% revenue growth next year, and the article argues the investment shows Abel's Berkshire is willing to seek technology opportunities despite taking on more risk.
- 4 Critical Minerals Stocks That Could Benefit as the U.S. Reduces Reliance on China
The U.S. push to cut reliance on China for critical minerals is benefiting related stocks, backed by government support such as grants, loans and tax credits. Freeport-McMoRan posted third-quarter revenue of $7.5 billion, up 8%, and EPS of $0.81, up 76%, with shares up more than 29% this year.
