- Dow Jones Futures Loom After S&P 500, Nasdaq Break Support; Will Meta Earnings Save AI?
- Dow Jones, Nasdaq, S&P 500 preview: All eyes on Meta, Tesla, SpaceX earnings
U.S. stocks fell Friday, closing a mostly losing week as investors pulled back from tech and AI-linked names while oil prices rose. The S&P 500 dropped 1.09% to 7,659.44, the Nasdaq Composite fell 2.14% to 26,140.03, and the Dow Jones slipped 175.28 points (0.34%) to 52,002.41. The Cboe Volatility Index climbed above 22 for the first time in four months, while the SOXX ETF fell 4.14% as semiconductor stocks led the pullback. For the week, the S&P 500 lost about 2% and the Nasdaq fell more than 4%, its worst week since June, while the Dow gained 0.7%. Investors now turn to earnings from Meta, Tesla, SpaceX, Netflix and others, plus fresh economic data, as the AI trade faces a key test.
- A Repeat Of 'Black Monday' Would Send The S&P 500 Down More Than 1,500 Points And Wipe Out More Than $13 Trillion In Stock Market Value
The article calculates that repeating Black Monday's 20.47% S&P 500 decline from Friday's close would erase about 1,568 points, leaving the index near 6,092, and roughly $14.0 trillion in market value, and it stresses this is simple arithmetic rather than a prediction. On Oct. 19, 1987, the Dow closed 508 points lower and estimated worldwide losses reached $1.71 trillion, amplified by computer-driven portfolio insurance and program trading. The Fed then injected $17 billion of liquidity to steady markets. The S&P 500 fell 1.1% to 7,659.44 on Friday but is still up 11.9% this year, and warnings about an AI bubble have come from Michael Burry, strategist Joachim Klement and the IMF.
- Dow Futures Rise Despite 'Black Monday' Calls: Market Commentator Says Selloff Worries Are 'Overdone'
U.S. stock futures rose late Sunday, signaling a rebound from Friday's slide in the Nasdaq Composite, even as calls for a 'Black Monday' crash trended. The Kobeissi Letter called selloff worries 'overdone,' noting the S&P 500 has climbed from about 5,500 to around 7,650 since May 2025. It argues the index is in a 'stealth' bear market within a bull market, with 84% of its stocks at least 10% below record highs and just 10 stocks driving 70% of gains since the March low. S&P 500 futures rose 0.72% to 7,760 after the index closed 1.09% lower on Friday, while the Nasdaq Composite closed 2.14% lower. Polymarket priced a 7% chance of a U.S. recession by the end of 2026, while David Rosenberg said he sees better-than-even odds of a recession within a year.
- A Repeat Of Black Monday Would Send The S & P 500 Down More Than 1 , 500 Points And Wipe Out More Than $13 Trillion In Stock Market Value
The article calculates that applying Black Monday's 20.47% S&P 500 decline of October 1987 to Friday's close would erase about 1,568 points, leaving the index near 6,092, and wipe out roughly $14.0 trillion of market value. It stresses this is simple arithmetic, not a prediction. On Friday the S&P 500 fell 1.1% to 7,659.44, the Dow slipped 0.3% to 52,002.41 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 2.1% to 26,140.03; the S&P 500 and Nasdaq had their worst week since June, led by chip stocks. Michael Burry, reportedly short NVIDIA and Micron, wrote that markets may be near a major top, pointing to leverage from volatility-targeting and momentum strategies. Under the circuit-breaker rules, the 20% decline level sits near 6,128, so a 1987-size drop would trigger a market-wide halt for the rest of the day.
- Baystreet . ca - TSX Zooms to End Thursday
Canada's main index, the TSX Composite, rose 552.64 points, or 1.6%, to close Thursday at 36,137.10, as lower bond yields boosted risk appetite despite weakness in energy shares tied to falling oil prices. Shopify gained $7.05, or 2.9%, to $252.53, while Celestica fell 3.1% to $446.70. Canadian wholesale sales declined 1.6% to $91.6 billion in August, manufacturing sales rose 1.5%, and 174,611 new motor vehicles were sold in Canada in August 2026, up 4.9% from a year earlier. In the U.S., the Dow rose 1.1% to 52,177.69 as investors rotated out of AI-related tech stocks over spending concerns, and the 10-year Treasury yield fell to 5.08% from 5.24%.

- Intel leads chip stocks higher as investors jump back into AI trade
Chip stocks rebounded on Monday as investors bought the dip after last week's steep AI trade sell-off. The PHLX Semiconductor Index (^SOX) rose 2%, reversing a recent semiconductor rout.

- Netflix stock is down roughly 25% in 2026 as Q3 earnings loom
Netflix (NFLX) reports third-quarter results after the bell on Tuesday, with the stock down more than 25% this year and closing Friday near $70, versus $93.76 at the end of 2025. Investors are worried about slowing viewership, competition from YouTube, and live sports moving to Amazon Prime Video and HBO Max. Last week Netflix cut about 6% of its workforce (roughly 1,000 employees) and named Peter Rice its new chief content officer, and five firms lowered price targets in October. Analysts expect EPS of $0.82 on revenue of $12.88 billion, up about 12% from a year earlier, in line with Netflix's own forecast. KeyBanc's Justin Patterson wants more content investment, product changes, expense cuts and a possible first-ever dividend.
- Cleveland-Cliffs Jumps 10% on Strongest Quarter in Three Years; Nucor and Steel Dynamics Edge Higher
Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) rose 10% to $13.29 after reporting third-quarter adjusted EBITDA of $612 million, beating its $575 million guidance and up sharply from $143 million a year earlier. Revenue of $5.61 billion missed the $5.72 billion expected, though sales rose 18.6% year over year on a higher average net selling price of $1,177 per ton and larger shipments. Management said imports remain well below historical levels, but it indefinitely idled the galvanizing lines at its Canadian unit Stelco due to oversupply. The company guided to about $715 million of adjusted EBITDA in Q4 and said 2027 adjusted EBITDA should exceed $4 billion based on current index price forecasts. Its target is to bring net debt to EBITDA below 2.5x by mid-2027.
- Tech rebounds as semiconductor stocks jump: AlphaCheck
Stocks were mostly higher on Monday as investors turned their focus to earnings season, with semiconductor stocks rebounding after last week's sharp sell-off. The Tech sector (XLK) rose, led by Nvidia (NVDA), AMD (AMD), Micron (MU) and SK Hynix (SKHY). Intel (INTC) also jumped after JPMorgan analysts upgraded the stock, while CoreWeave (CRWV), hammered last week, rebounded on a Goldman Sachs upgrade. Investors are watching this week's reports from Netflix (NFLX), SpaceX (SPCX), Tesla (TSLA) and Meta (META). The 10-year Treasury (^TNX) yield hovered near 5.1%, while Brent crude (BZ=F) dropped to $108 per barrel and WTI (CL=F) hovered below $98.
- AI capex may be Meta's biggest earnings test
Meta Platforms (META) reports third-quarter earnings after the close on Wednesday, alongside a wave of Big Tech peers. The GAAP EPS estimate is $3.54, though that figure may be messy because a legal settlement will be included and analysts differ on how it will be accounted for. Options imply a 3.2% move in either direction, the smallest since the fourth-quarter report before last. Estimates for next year's capex vary widely: Wedbush near $250 billion, Evercore ISI $210 billion, Bank of America $205 billion and Dan Ives around $194 billion. Most analysts say that spending is acceptable if Meta provides a Muse roadmap and confidence it can monetize it, and the stock is up about seven and a half percent year to date.
