Tuesday, October 27, 2026.
Good afternoon.
By eleven fifty Eastern, the Nasdaq gained 1.22% as semiconductors climbed 2.72%.
The S and P 500 added 0.67%, the Russell 2000 rose 0.81%, and the Dow gained 0.12%.
Technology led the sector board with a 1.82% advance.
Six of 11 sector funds were higher.
The equal-weight S and P fund gained just 0.02%, while the cap-weighted fund rose 0.64%.
That gap says larger companies carried more of the headline gain.
A financing group announced funding for Broadcom computing equipment to be used by Anthropic.
Broadcom and Advanced Micro Devices were among the chip leaders.
Energy fell 1.72% as W T I crude dropped 1.58% to $100.15 a barrel.
The 10-year Treasury yield held just under 5%, the dollar index added 0.28%, and the V I X fell 4.62% to 17.54.
Consumer confidence rose to 91.7 in October, while September new-home sales edged down from August.
The Federal Reserve's two-day meeting is underway, with the policy decision due Wednesday.
The afternoon test is whether chip leadership broadens while W T I stays near $100 and the 10-year yield remains near 5%.
