Closes: SPX 7,549.94 (+2.35%) · NDX 25,253.14 (+2.74%) · DJI 52,389.75 (+2.15%)
Day narrative: Dip buyers came back with both hands — the S&P's best session since April 8 as crude kept sliding and the AI trade got its legs under it again. The oddity: Nvidia was the one name left out, dragged down by a governance story nobody saw coming.
Sectors: Best Industrials (+4.2%) · Worst Energy (-0.3%, the only red sector)
Movers:
• AMD +13.3% — Oppenheimer upgrade to Buy lit the fuse under the whole chip complex
• AVGO +8.8% — custom-silicon bid roared back as the AI rout paused
• NVDA -4.3% — board opened an independent investigation into CEO Jensen Huang's reported ties to an alleged Chinese intelligence effort; was down 8% intraday before trimming
• MU +6.3% — memory supply tightening plus AI infrastructure demand, no analyst note needed
• NET +9.3% — software AI winners got bought back hard after last week's dumping
• RKLB — capped a two-day run near 30% on NASA's $10B Moon Base contract awards, right into earnings

• HIMS reported a miss on revenue, earnings and guidance — already down 10% into the print

Macro:
• Brent held below $100 and kept falling — Trump told CNN he's "highly unlikely" to order further strikes on Iran, pulling the supply-risk premium out of crude and easing inflation fears
• October payrolls came in at +165K with 84K of upward revisions and unemployment at 4.1%; December hike odds moved from ~75% to ~80% for a 4.00–4.25% target range
• Energy was the only sector in the red, now down more than 8% on the week
• IPO watch: Anthropic is marketing a Nasdaq listing before Thanksgiving at a trimmed $1.5T target, with some buyers talking $1.1–1.3T; roadshow starts tomorrow, JPMorgan investor presentation Friday. OpenAI closed ~$11B at a $1.25T valuation, short of its $1.4T ask
Tomorrow: October CPI at 8:30 a.m. ET — headline seen near 3.6% annual, 0.3–0.4% monthly, core 0.3%. Last year's shutdown means most series won't print 12-month changes, so it's a month-over-month story. CoreWeave reports after the close with options pricing a ~21% move on ~$3.54B expected revenue. Cisco and Applied Materials later this week, Nebius Thursday morning.
