- Dow Jones, Nasdaq, S&P 500 weekly preview: Markets brace for pivotal earnings week
The Dow fell 652.82 points, or 1.23%, to 52,215.16 on Friday as Thursday's tech selloff spread, while the S&P 500 slipped 0.52% to 7,623.68 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.21% to 25,955.34. US oil climbed above $100 a barrel on fears of renewed US-Iran conflict. The 10-year Treasury yield rose to around 4.999% after dipping below 5% Thursday for the first time in a month. For the week, the S&P 500 fell 0.5%, the Nasdaq lost 0.7%, and the Dow rose 0.4%. Investors await earnings from major AI players and the Fed meeting, with markets seeing roughly an 80% chance of a hike at the December meeting; RBC keeps its 12-month S&P 500 target of 8,150 while watching for a 5-10% pullback.
- Gold Hits 1-Year Low as US Stocks Sell Off; Expert Says 'Don't Rush to Bottom-Fish'
December gold futures on Comex fell 3.3% to 3,898.90 USD/ounce at Friday's (October 30) close, the lowest close since October 2, 2025, and gold lost 10% over October. The same session saw a sharp US stock sell-off: the Dow Jones fell 1.1%, the S&P 500 dropped 1.8% and the Nasdaq Composite lost 2.9%. Experts said investors sold both gold and stocks to raise cash to cover losses and meet liquidity needs, after gold broke below the 3,975 USD/ounce level that had formed in July. Although markets remain worried about Middle East tensions around the November 3 midterm elections, one analyst said that if the Fed keeps rates high for longer, Treasury yields would stay elevated and limit gold's appeal. Altavest says investors should hold cash and be patient until at least year-end, though gold's long-term outlook remains positive if the Fed cuts rates in 2027.
- Federal Reserve Holds Interest Rates Steady Ahead of Midterms. Here's What That Means for the Market.
The Federal Reserve voted 10-2 to hold its benchmark rate at 3.75%-4%, a result markets had widely expected with prediction markets giving over 90% odds of a hold, so the S&P 500 rose less than 0.5% and the 10-year Treasury yield rose about 1%. The statement changed only four phrases from last month: it dropped the line that today's policy action would support a timelier return to the 2 percent goal, adopted more cautious wording about gathering more information, and described economic activity as expanding at a “strong” rather than “solid” pace. Two dissenters, Lisa D. Cook and Beth M. Hammack, wanted a quarter-percentage-point hike. Of 100 economists polled by Reuters, 94 correctly expected a hold this month, but all 100 anticipated a hike at the December 9 meeting, and prediction markets also strongly favor a December increase.
- Stock Market Today, Oct. 28: Markets Edge Higher as Fed Holds Rates Steady
The S&P 500 rose 0.28% to 7,744, the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.27% to 26,550 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.19% to 52,475 after the Federal Reserve held rates steady. Gold rose 0.10% to $4,068.14, while the 10-year Treasury yield climbed 0.02% to 5.02%, crossing the 5% threshold. Vertiv Holdings jumped nearly 17% on bullish long-term AI infrastructure demand forecasts, Oracle surged 11% after an investor day with new financial targets, and F5 plunged over 20% on its guidance and an analyst downgrade. Chair Kevin Warsh stressed the committee's commitment to reducing inflation, and officials said further data would inform rate decisions at the December meeting. After the bell, Microsoft beat expectations, particularly for its Azure cloud unit, while Alphabet shares slid after its revenue and sales fell short of analyst predictions.
- VSE Corporation, Viavi Solutions, Moog, Bloom Energy, and Comfort Systems stocks trade up, what you need to know
U.S. stocks rose across the board as investors looked ahead to a busy week, with about 36% of S&P 500 companies reporting quarterly results and the Federal Reserve due to decide on rates Wednesday. Money markets put a 90% probability on the Fed holding rates steady, and analysts expect S&P 500 earnings to jump 30% in the third quarter from a year earlier. Among the movers, VSE Corporation (VSEC) rose 4.2%, Viavi Solutions (VIAV) and Bloom Energy (BE) each gained 6.7%, Moog (MOG.A) climbed 4.3%, and Comfort Systems (FIX) advanced 7.2%. Falling Treasury yields supported the rally, and BondBloxx Investment Management viewed the expected Fed hold as a temporary pause rather than the end of tightening.
- Investors Just Got Bad News From the Federal Reserve. Here's What History Says Comes Next.
The Fed has raised rates only once so far, yet futures are pricing in three more quarter-point hikes by mid-2027. Long-term yields are starting to stabilize and the S&P 500 is near all-time highs on AI-driven earnings growth, but the latest Fed minutes point to keeping rates higher for longer. Historically, aggressive hikes in 1994 left the S&P 500 with a small return that year before a strong rally the following year, while tightening of more than four percentage points from 2004 to 2006 still produced positive returns. In 2022, however, both stocks and bonds fell sharply as the Fed responded too late. The author suggests buy-and-hold may be the most suitable approach for investors with a horizon of 10 years or more, and notes that funds such as VOO still hold about 40% in tech and 40% in the 10 largest companies, which could leave portfolios exposed to a correction.

- CoreWeave's 15% Bond Yield Is a Warning for AI Debt. Here Are the Stocks Most Exposed.
CoreWeave, an AI infrastructure “neocloud” provider, has grown rapidly: revenue rose from $16 million in 2022 to $5.13 billion in 2025, while its net loss widened to $1.17 billion. To fund expansion, the company has issued more shares and taken on more debt, ending the second quarter of 2026 with $72 billion in total liabilities. The average yield to maturity on its senior unsecured bonds is 14.1% to 15.6%, and interest payments consume roughly a quarter of its revenue, so debt pressure could grow if the Federal Reserve keeps raising rates. Most of its senior notes trade at about $0.80 on the dollar. Compared with Nebius and IREN, CoreWeave is considerably more leveraged.
- Netflix Trades at a Discount to the S&P 500's Valuation. Is It Deserved?
Netflix, the world's largest premium video streaming service with more than 300 million paying subscribers, trades at 19 times trailing earnings and 16.5 times next year's expected profit, while the S&P 500 trades at 25 times and 18 times. The stock has fallen 54% from its all-time high in June of last year, revenue growth has slowed for three straight quarters, and shares initially fell after each of the last six earnings reports, alongside layoffs. The author notes the stock fell roughly 80% in the 2011 and 2022 downturns before rebounding more than fivefold, while analysts still expect low-double-digit revenue growth. The author calculates that the stock trades below 14 times earnings for 2028 and 12 times for 2029, respectively. The author, a longtime shareholder, argues the discount to the S&P 500 is not warranted.

- Meet the Dividend Stock That Warren Buffett Backed for Decades. Here's Why Greg Abel Is Still Holding.
Berkshire Hathaway's stock rose 5,502,284% during Warren Buffett's 56-year tenure, compared with 39,054% for the S&P 500. Coca-Cola (KO) is Berkshire's longest-held stock and has raised its dividend for 64 straight years, one of the best track records among Dividend Kings. Berkshire spent $1.3 billion buying Coca-Cola shares over several years ending in 1988, and it still owns 400 million shares without ever selling any, making up 10.4% of the portfolio as its third-largest position. With an annual dividend of $2.12, Berkshire is on track to collect $848 million from Coca-Cola's dividend this year alone. KO shares are up 37% this year versus 12% for the index, as third-quarter revenue rose 7% and operating income climbed 12%, lifting operating margin to 33.4% from 32%.
- Epidemic of Hacked Freezers Spreads Across Europe
In France, about 700 of 10,000 supermarkets were affected in October, and nine more countries reported refrigeration problems on Monday. France's CERT-FR links the compromises to remote controllers made by Danfoss and Copeland, and no group has claimed responsibility. Hackers forced a continuous defrost cycle, spoiling food and sparking fires at some stores, while units in Estonia were pushed to 50°C (122°F). Groupement Mousquetaires counted 300 affected stores, and Cooperative U said 80 of its 2,000 shops were hit. CERT-FR warns the campaigns are probably still ongoing, and Italy's government was set to hold a cybersecurity meeting on Tuesday.
