📆 October turned out to be a true gift for Wall Street — a rare occasion when both tech and traditional sectors moved in harmony.
U.S. indices ended the month with solid gains:
Against the backdrop of still-high Fed rates and inflation uncertainty, this performance looks particularly impressive.
The main star of the month was Amazon (AMZN). The company’s shares jumped nearly 10% after a strong earnings report, reminding everyone that AWS remains one of the key pillars of the cloud business in the age of artificial intelligence. AWS revenue growth was the strongest since 2022 — the AI boom has finally reached the corporate segment. This uplifted not only Amazon but the entire online retail sector, including Shopify, eBay, and other e-commerce platforms.
Investors are now waiting for the next chapter — upcoming reports from Palantir (PLTR) and Robinhood (HOOD). Palantir, specializing in data analytics and AI-driven enterprise solutions, may demonstrate how willing businesses really are to pay for integrating AI into daily operations.
Robinhood, on the other hand, faces a test of trust among retail investors. The company reflects the sentiment of “small players,” and its results will show how active the public remains after a volatile summer.
Risks remain. The indices are approaching yearly highs, and any disappointment in corporate earnings could trigger a correction. The Fed maintains its hawkish tone, not ruling out a longer period of high interest rates. This cools off parts of the speculative market, including second-tier tech companies.
Still, November and December are historically strong months for the stock market. Investors are betting on a “Christmas rally” and continue to increase positions. Experts recommend keeping 80–100% of portfolios in equities while staying flexible and alert to technical reversal signals.
The market’s focus now lies on three themes: artificial intelligence, solar energy, and online retail. Together, these sectors form the foundation of the “new economy,” where digitalization, sustainability, and big data are key growth drivers.
🟢 October gave a strong push, and November will show whether the market can maintain its momentum. Wall Street enters the final quarter of the year with confidence — yet also with caution, as too much is riding on the cards named “AI” and “expectations.”
