S&P 500: 7,663.43, down 93.74 points (-1.21%). Dow Jones Industrial Average: 52,867.98, up 11.89 points (+0.02%). Nasdaq Composite: 26,008.86, down 694.00 points (-2.60%). The Nasdaq-100 fell 2.90%, while the small-cap Russell 2000 edged up 0.11%.
AI trade under fire again. Worries about runaway AI spending and the cost of capital resurfaced after quarterly results from Meta and Tesla, sending semiconductors and hyperscalers sharply lower and reversing Wednesday's tech rally. Chip-equipment names led the slide after Lam Research's results, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF breaking below Tuesday's low. IBM CEO Arvind Krishna added to the mood, saying large enterprises are growing wary of AI spending with "no real return."
Oil spikes, bonds rally. A report that the U.S. and Israel are preparing renewed strikes on Iran after the Nov. 3 midterms, plus a deadly attack at a Saudi airport and oil field, pushed Brent crude to about $113 a barrel and WTI to roughly $100 — the highest since May. Investors fled to Treasurys anyway: the 10-year yield fell about 11 basis points to near 5.02%, on track for its biggest one-day drop in more than two years. Weekly jobless claims fell to 194,000, the fewest in three months.
Meta (META) -6.98% to $648.85 despite strong third-quarter results and a newly announced 2-for-1 stock split, as investors focused on AI spending. Tesla (TSLA) -3.08% to $374.58 after an earnings beat, as lower 2026 capex was weighed against heavier 2027-28 spending on Optimus, Cybercab and Terafab. CoreWeave (CRWV) -10% on renewed cost-of-capital fears, and Moderna (MRNA) fell more than 20% after leaked melanoma-vaccine trial results came in below lofty hopes. On the upside, Blackstone (BX) +8.38% to $118.75 on an upbeat outlook for fourth-quarter exits and fee growth.
