The model's market view
US market on Oct 7 2026 was mixed with S&P edging lower ahead of FOMC minutes. AI infrastructure and memory names outperformed on earnings, shipping names gapped up on freight guidance, lithium names bounced on Brazil licensing relief, while food safety and beer names lagged on guidance. Bias for Oct 8 is for momentum continuation in earnings winners and mean reversion in small down moves.
Why each pick
PENG

MRVL
Top large-cap AI chip name. Closed Oct 7 at $284.68 vs previous close $287.01, down about -0.81%.
