The article says the bond market is pricing a 70% chance of a 25-basis-point Fed rate hike at the December 9 meeting, based on a Kalshi contract. The 10-year Treasury yield rose from 3.97% on February 27 to 5.31% on October 5 before ending at 4.98% on October 29, while core PCE rose 0.3% in September. Citing 24/7 Wall St.'s review of the market since the 2015 liftoff, it names Exxon Mobil, Caterpillar, Microsoft and CME Group as four stocks whose records have held up through rate hikes, with none falling more than 18.9% after the final rise in 2023.

- 'The Fed put is very much back': Wall Street strategists weigh central bank's next move
The Fed held rates steady on Wednesday despite sticky inflation fueled by oil above $100 per barrel, a decision several Wall Street strategists found puzzling. Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research said the move was hard to understand, noting the US economy grew at a 3.4% annualized rate in the third quarter. Darius Dale of 42 Macro said the Fed put is very much back, expecting closer coordination between the Fed and the Treasury, including possible government bond buybacks funded by Fed-backed cash to provide liquidity in 2027. This helps explain why investors have rotated between sectors rather than selling off broadly, despite concerns about inflation, rates and AI. Technology and Communications Services have lagged over the past month, while Healthcare, Financial Services and Real Estate gained last week.
- Two Fed Officials Just Called for More Rate Hikes, Starting Soon
Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem said two days after the FOMC held rates that the hiking cycle is not over. Logan said the committee needs at least two more 25-basis-point increases before it should pause to examine developments, while Musalem said additional firming will be necessary, and soon. PCE inflation was 3.6% year over year in September, core PCE was 3.1%, and real GDP grew at a 3.4% annual rate in the third quarter. CME FedWatch put the odds of a December quarter-point hike at about 76%, and the two-year Treasury yield fell to 4.56% from 4.61%. The article says the risk for stocks lies in the gap between the one hike markets have priced in and the at least two Logan is calling for.
- 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.
- Fed rate hikes are coming, but not this week: CNBC survey
A CNBC survey of 30 fund managers, strategists and economists found 93% expect the Fed to pause at this week's meeting, while 76% anticipate a rate hike in December. More than half expect the Fed to hike about two times next year. Respondents forecast GDP growth of 2.4% this year and a 26% risk of recession in the next year, with CPI easing from 3.7% to 3.6% this year and 2.6% in 2027. The 10-year Treasury yield is expected to stay above 5% this year and dip to 4.8% in 2027.
- 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.

- Amazon Stock Climbs After Phillip Securities Upgrade to Buy
Amazon shares rose 1% in morning trading after Phillip Securities upgraded the stock to Buy from Accumulate, pointing to improving demand visibility across its businesses. Analyst Helena Wang set a $330 price target, implying potential upside of 37% from the previous close. The firm sees Amazon's spending on infrastructure and other growth initiatives as able to reinforce its competitive position over the longer term, and possibly make it harder for smaller rivals to challenge the company in its key markets.
- GE Aerospace (GE) Falls Alongside Industrials
Bristol Gate Capital Partners' Q3 2026 letter says its US Equity Strategy lagged the S&P 500 (+2.3%), as declines in industrial and semiconductor-equipment holdings offset gains in tech. GE Aerospace fell 16.3% in the quarter despite 22% adjusted EPS growth and raised full-year earnings and free-cash-flow guidance; it beat earnings expectations, and analysts raised their estimates and price targets. In September, GE Aerospace agreed to acquire precision-castings supplier Consolidated Precision Products for $11.75 billion to help secure turbine blade supply, shortly after SpaceX said it would cast turbine blades in-house. GE shares closed at $301.80 on October 30, 2026, with a 52-week range of $268.91 to $388.84.
- Wall Street May Be Underestimating This Smaller AI Chip Stock
24/7 Wall St. sets a 12-month price target of $284.80 for Marvell Technology, implying 14.5% upside from $248.71, with a buy rating at 90% confidence. Marvell reported record revenue of $2.739 billion in August, up 37% year over year, while data center revenue rose 46% to $2.17 billion, or 79% of sales. The bull case is $352.54 and the bear case is $218.43. Key risks include customer concentration if hyperscalers bring chip design in-house, and margin pressure as custom chips make up a growing share of sales; fiscal Q3 non-GAAP gross margin is forecast at 57.5% to 58.5%, down from 58.9%. Marvell trades at 31x forward earnings, above Broadcom's 18x but below AMD's 34x.

- Chipotle Mexican Grill Is Down 15% and Growing. Here's Why It Has the Makings of a Monster Stock for the Next Decade.
Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) shares fell 15.5% in 2026 through Oct. 29, while the S&P 500 Growth index gained 12.1%.

Operating margin contracted 2.5 percentage points to 15.7% on higher costs. Chipotle had over 4,200 restaurants as of June 30 and plans to add 350-370 this year.
