Markets:

Stock futures were relatively unchanged on Tuesday following a winning day on Wall Street thanks to gains in artificial intelligence-linked names and renewed hopes of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut.

Nvidia shares were down more than 4% after The Information reported, citing sources, that Meta Platforms was considering spending billions of dollars on Alphabet’s AI chips. Alphabet shares were up more than 4% on the back of the report.

Monday marked a strong session for the three major averages. The S&P 500 gained about 1.6%, while the Nasdaq Composite jumped 2.7% and recorded its best day since May 12 as major tech names rebounded after what’s been a tough month for the sector. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed higher by more than 200 points, or 0.4%, meanwhile.

Google parent Alphabet was a standout name in the previous session, ending the day 6.3% higher and scoring a new record high. Chipmaker Broadcom was the S&P 500′s biggest gainer after the stock surged more than 11%. Investors have rallied behind both companies, which are related through their high-performance, application-specific chips, or ASICs, businesses.

Separately, traders continue to watch for any news that can affect the Federal Reserve’s upcoming monetary policy decision. Markets are pricing in a more than 80% chance of a quarter percentage point cut from the Fed in December, per the CME FedWatch Tool.

Portfolio:

We’re stepping into this new session with setups in APLD, A, and NBIL.

The market—especially small caps and real estate—is reacting to every shift in December rate-cut expectations. Just last week, odds sat near 40%. Now? Over 85%… and honestly, it should be 100%. September retail sales only strengthened the case for a cut.

Technicals mattered again. Buyers stepped in with authority. And for the first time in a while, the tape acted exactly like a healthy, functioning market should.

If you’re watching closely, the market just tossed everyone an underhand pitch right down the middle. You don’t get many moments when everything aligns this cleanly. Oversold conditions create explosive upside—pure rubber band effect. But here’s the catch: when fear is present, most people freeze. They wait until prices are flying to chase what they ignored at the lows.

Think about that.

Opportunity is literally at the door. Don’t miss it.
