The model's market view
Fed held rates at 3.75-4.00% on Oct 28 with a 10-2 vote, S&P 500 +0.28% to 7743. AI infrastructure was the clear leadership with Vertiv and 【entity-Oracle¦canonical_name=Oracle】 posting double-digit gains on substantive earnings and long-range targets, while application software and logistics lagged on growth deceleration. Dollar volume leaders were MU, 【entity-META¦canonical_name=META】, NVDA and ORCL. The tape favors continuation in AI hardware where order momentum is confirmed, and mean-reversion risk in software where guidance cuts were severe and already discounted intraday Oct 29.
