Good morning ☕🦀🇺🇸 Pre-Market Overview — Wednesday, November 4, 2026 (as of ~5:00 AM ET) U.S. equity futures are pointing to a modestly higher open after an overnight dip, with buyers stepping in following the initial reaction to midterm election results. Futures fell sharply overnight (Nasdaq briefly -2%+) on the Democratic sweep but have since recovered into positive territory. Key Drivers Midterm Elections — Democrats are projected to take control of both the House and Senate in a strong showing (blue wave/sweep), with notable wins in traditionally Republican areas. The initial market reaction focused on potential tighter regulation of AI, data centers, and Big Tech, plus more gridlock in Washington. This weighed especially on the Nasdaq and hyperscalers. Dip-buying has since emerged as investors weigh limited near-term impact on earnings and growth, along with reduced odds of aggressive fiscal expansion (supporting bonds and a weaker dollar). AMD Earnings (after Tuesday close) — Strong beat and guide. Q3 revenue $13.4B (+45% YoY), adjusted EPS $2.09 (beat), Data Center revenue nearly doubled (+97% to ~$8.5B). Q4 guidance ~$17B (implies ~66% YoY growth). Stock up roughly 6–7% in premarket, lifting some AI/chip names. Oil & Geopolitics — WTI near $95.80–$96 (-0.2%), Brent near $102.70–$103.20 (slightly lower). Prices are easing for a third day on mixed signals from U.S.-Iran talks (Qatar mediation ongoing; proposals under review, but Iran has called the U.S. response “not satisfactory”). Risk premium continues to unwind. API reported a 5.3M barrel crude draw (official EIA data later). Ukraine peace talks remain in the background. Other Notes •Gold strong ($4,040, +2.5–3%), silver up sharply (+4%+), supported by a weaker dollar and safe-haven flows. •Premarket movers: AMD, Arista Networks ($ANET ~+9–11%), and Super Micro ($SMCI ~+7%) among the leaders. Some Mag7/tech names softer on regulatory concerns. $TSLA notably lower. •Asia/Europe: Mixed overnight (earlier Nikkei weakness; Europe firmer in spots). •Today’s calendar: ADP employment, trade data, ISM Services PMI. Additional earnings (including Datadog). Jobs report on Friday. Bottom line: Futures have stabilized and turned green after the election-driven overnight sell-off. $AMD’s strong AI/data-center print is providing a counterweight to regulatory concerns, while oil remains range-bound on mixed geopolitical headlines. Watch the open for follow-through and how tech holds up. Price is the last thing to know.

Good morning ☕🦀🇺🇸 Pre-market overview — Monday, November 2, 2026 (~5:15 AM EST) US index futures are higher in early pre-market trading, rebounding after last week’s AI/tech-driven selloff that left the Nasdaq Composite down roughly 5.2% in October. Tech and AI names are leading the bounce after heavy selling late last week on capex/return concerns ($GOOGL, $MSFT, $AMZN guidance). Apple is relatively steady ahead of its report. Key Drivers •Oil sharply lower on de-escalation hopes: WTI ~$99–100 (down ~3–4%), Brent ~$108–110 (down ~3–8% depending on the contract). Qatari and Iranian officials continued talks for a third day aimed at ending the Middle East conflict. Tanker attacks in the Gulf remain a residual risk. Lower oil is supporting risk appetite. •AI/tech sentiment: Markets are looking for relief after October’s AI cash-burn worries. Apple’s results (after the close today) are in focus because the company is not a heavy data-center spender. •Fed / rates: December rate-hike odds sit near ~71% on resilient data and sticky inflation. 10-year yield ~4.91%, 2-year ~4.60%. •Crypto: Bitcoin stabilizing near $78,000–78,300 after weekend headlines around a large Binance security incident (~$6.3B reported). Today’s Calendar & Focus •Earnings: Apple $AAPL after the close (iPhone 18 sales/guidance in the spotlight). Also Palantir $PLTR and several others. •Data: ISM Manufacturing (Oct), S&P Global final PMI, Construction Spending. •Week ahead: Midterm elections tomorrow (Nov 3), more Big Tech/earnings, and Nonfarm Payrolls on Friday. Other Notes Asia was mixed (Nikkei slightly lower, Kospi higher). Europe mostly green. Volatility remains elevated after last week’s move (VIX had spiked). Futures are indicating a constructive open on oil relief and dip-buying in tech, but the tape is still sensitive to AI capex narratives, Middle East headlines, and the election. Apple’s print after the close is the near-term catalyst.

Pre-market overview — Tuesday, October 27, 2026 Futures are modestly higher in early trade after Monday’s tech-led bounce, with attention centered on the start of the Fed’s two-day meeting, a busy earnings slate, and oil volatility tied to Middle East tensions. Earlier reads were more mixed/flat-to-slightly softer, so the tone is cautious green rather than a strong bid. Markets are pricing a higher open following Monday’s gains. Monday recap •S&P 500: +0.70% to ~7,676.77 •Dow: +0.28% to ~52,361.58 •Nasdaq: +0.82% to ~26,169.38 The move was driven largely by Anthropic’s public S-1 IPO filing, which revived AI/tech sentiment after recent concerns over debt-funded spending and valuations. Asia followed through overnight (Nikkei +1.7%, strong chip moves in Korea/Japan). Key themes today •Fed meeting: Two-day FOMC begins today; decision Wednesday. Markets price ~89–90% odds of a hold (after the September hike that took the target range to 3.75–4%). Focus is on the statement, dots/guidance, and any commentary from Chair Kevin Warsh on further hikes into 2027 amid sticky inflation linked to the US-Iran conflict. •Earnings: Today includes Coca-Cola (raised FY profit outlook, modestly higher pre-market), UPS (beat and raised guidance, ~+1.5–1.6%), Boeing (narrower loss, record backlog), PayPal, Visa, and others. Later this week: Alphabet and Microsoft (Wednesday), Amazon (Thursday) — critical for the AI capex narrative. Hyperscalers remain the main event. •Oil & geopolitics: WTI ~$101, Brent in the $110–115 area (volatile, near recent highs but off the absolute peaks). Reports show modest pullbacks amid diplomatic signals (Saudi/Iran-related talks), but the US-Iran conflict and related supply risks keep a bid under crude and inflation concerns elevated. •AI/memory: Anthropic’s filing showed explosive revenue growth alongside very large losses and massive compute commitments. Memory names (e.g., SK Hynix) were firm on special dividend talk and the broader AI rebound. Tesla remained constructive after Monday’s big gain. Other notes •Gold futures ~$4,014 (roughly flat); silver softer. Dollar firmer. 10-year yield around 4.99%. •Premarket movers include UPS and KO on the positive side; some smaller names (e.g., MFIC on M&A) are seeing big percentage swings. •Economic data today includes durable goods orders, Case-Shiller home prices, consumer confidence, Richmond Fed manufacturing, and new home sales. Bottom line: Modestly constructive futures after Monday’s Anthropic-fueled tech bounce, but the real catalysts are Wednesday’s Fed decision/guidance and the big hyperscaler earnings later in the week. Oil and the Middle East remain the key macro wildcard for inflation and rates. Trade accordingly and watch the early earnings reactions.

Good morning ☕️🦀🇺🇸 Pre-market overview — Wednesday, October 28, 2026 (~7:24 AM ET) Futures (mixed, tech leading):
Dow futures ~52,470 (−109 pts / −0.21%), S&P 500 futures ~7,769 (+11 pts / +0.14%), Nasdaq 100 futures ~29,955 (+143 pts / +0.48%). Key drivers today •Fed decision (2:00 PM ET, Warsh presser 2:30 PM): Markets price ~90% chance of a hold (rates stay 3.75–4.00% after September’s 25 bp hike). Focus is on any signal about a December hike (priced ~75%). Inflation remains sticky; no new SEP/dot plot this meeting. Decision lands less than a week before midterms. •Big Tech earnings after the close: $MSFT and $GOOGL report. AI capex, cloud growth, and guidance are the main focus after recent semi strength. •Oil higher on geopolitics: WTI ~$101.15 (+1.25%), Brent ~$114–115. Risk premium stays elevated from the ongoing Middle East conflict (Hormuz shipping risks, Houthi strikes on Saudi facilities such as Ras Tanura, and reports of possible U.S. action after the midterms). Diplomacy continues, but supply fears keep a bid under prices. •Asia AI/memory surge: SK Hynix posted record Q3 results (revenue >100 trillion won for the first time, operating profit ~83.3 trillion won / ~80% margin, shortages expected through 2030, large shareholder returns). Kospi jumped ~6.6% (back above 6,000); Nikkei up ~1%. Memory/semi strength is lifting Nasdaq futures and related U.S. names. Other notes 
10-year yield ~5.00–5.01%. Gold slightly softer near $4,047. Europe mixed to modestly lower. Premarket movers include Vertiv (strong data-center orders/raised outlook) and Enphase (weak solar demand). Light U.S. data (advance goods trade, MBA mortgages, EIA inventories). Bottom line: Tech/AI bid from Asia is supporting Nasdaq futures while oil and the Fed keep a lid on broader gains. Hold is the base case; the tone of Warsh’s presser and the $MSFT $GOOGL reports will set the tone into the close.

Good morning ☕️🦀🇺🇸 Pre-market overview – Monday, October 26, 2026 (as of ~8:00–8:30 AM ET) US index futures are modestly higher after Friday’s declines, pointing to a mild rebound at the open: •Dow futures: ~52,650 (+0.45–0.5%, roughly +230–260 pts) •S&P 500 futures: ~7,680–7,685 (+0.25–0.3%) •Nasdaq 100 futures: ~29,180–29,195 (+0.2–0.3%) Friday’s closes saw the Dow drop ~1.23% (to ~52,215), S&P 500 −0.52% (~7,623), and Nasdaq −0.21%. The bounce is limited amid caution ahead of the FOMC and a heavy earnings week. Key catalysts and drivers Oil pulling back from recent highs but still elevated. WTI is around $100.7–101 (−2.3–2.5%), Brent near $114.3–114.5 (−2%). Prices surged last week (Brent +6% to near six-month highs ~$116–117, WTI to ~$103) on Houthi attacks targeting Saudi oil facilities and an airport, plus ongoing Strait of Hormuz tanker threats. Monday’s dip reflects hopes of de-escalation after Qatari mediators traveled to Tehran, though weekend attacks continued and the risk premium remains high. Brazil election shock. Lula da Silva won re-election in an upset over Flávio Bolsonaro. Markets had priced in a Bolsonaro victory (fiscal tightening, reforms, closer US ties), so Brazilian assets are selling off sharply. Tokyo-listed Ibovespa ETFs fell ~15%, real futures dropped ~10% in Asian trade, and US-listed Brazilian ADRs/ETFs (e.g., XP, NU, PBR, ITUB, EWZ) are down 15–45%+ in pre-market. Expect continued volatility when Brazilian cash markets open. FOMC this week. Meeting October 27–28; statement Wednesday at 2:00 PM ET (press conference ~2:30 PM). Markets price ~90% odds of a hold at the current 3.75–4.00% target (after September’s 25 bp hike). Some forecasts (e.g., BofA) see a possible hike. No Summary of Economic Projections/dot plot this meeting. Earnings calendar (busy week). •Today: $VZ (pre-market), $WELL, $CDNS, $NU (after close). •Tuesday: $BA, $COKE, $V, SoFi, UPS, etc. •Wednesday (after close): $MSFT and $GOOGL. •Thursday: $AMZN, $INTC, and others. •Friday: $XOM, Chevron. Focus remains on AI capex returns and hyperscaler commentary after recent tech pressure. Other notes. Gold ~$4,015–4,025 (+0.3–0.6%). 10-year yields in the ~4.89–4.97% area. Asia mixed (Nikkei −0.8%, Hang Seng firmer); European indices/futures mixed to modestly positive. Tech has faced valuation and AI-related debt concerns in recent sessions; defensives have supported the Dow. Overall tone is cautiously constructive on the futures bounce, but headline risk from oil/Middle East, the Brazil unwind, Fed decision, and big-tech earnings keeps the setup two-sided. Pre-market volume is light outside the Brazilian names.
