The Brief

Wednesday, October 28, 2026

“If you're competitor-focused, you have to wait until there is a competitor doing something. Being customer-focused allows you to be more pioneering.”– Jeff Bezos

SUMMARY

Nasdaq and S&P 500 climb as an AI-led tech rally offsets Boeing's 11% slide after its delivery-target cut.

Technology (XLK) and AI ETF (SMH) outperform after SK Hynix's sevenfold profit surge on AI memory demand and Meta's near-$98bn equity raise for its AI buildout.

Russell 2000 and EM equities (EEM) also advance, broadening the rally beyond megacap tech names.

Energy (XLE) drops 2% as Brent crude falls 2.76% to $111.

Nat gas spikes over 13% even as oil slides, a divergence with no clear driver in today's headlines.

MOVE index falls sharply as bond volatility eases ahead of today's Fed decision, where policymakers are expected to hold rates steady.

Lula's runoff win triggers a selloff in Brazilian assets, even as the broader EM gauge (EEM) still rises on the session.

Reports that Washington may strike Iran after the midterms put Gulf oil supply risk in focus for markets at the open.

Marz Capital – The Brief · Sourced from Yahoo Finance, BLS, StatsCan, FRED, CNBC, Reuters & web search · Note: some 1M/YTD/1Y market columns show n/a where data was unavailable at time of research · Treasury "ATH" reflects the past 20 years, not full history, since older-regime peaks (e.g. ~15% in 1981) aren't a meaningful comparison to today · HY spread ATH is n/a because the free data source only covers the last 3 years · ATH is measured from the highest daily close · Gold, oil, copper and natural gas are front-month futures, so their changes include contract rolls
