what happened
US stock indexes opened higher on Monday, with attention centred on Anthropic's plan to go public. In its filing, the AI developer described its goal of building systems that could reshape the global economy, while acknowledging the heavy costs and technical hurdles involved. Reuters reports that the autumn listing pipeline has thinned, as volatility led several firms to postpone their offerings.
Early trading showed the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 105.3 points, or 0.20%, at 52,320.45, while the S&P 500 gained 0.21% to 7,639.7 and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.28% to 26,026.865. Tesla rose 2.5% before the bell after Barclays lifted its rating to overweight, and chipmakers Nvidia, AMD and Intel each advanced by more than 1%.
Investors now look to the Fed's Wednesday decision, where a pause is widely anticipated following the September increase. Earnings from Alphabet, Microsoft and Amazon are also due this week, while Meta plans to raise up to $95 billion through new equity to fund its AI infrastructure.
why it matters
The AI trade has been under pressure this month as borrowing costs climb and doubts grow about whether debt-funded data center spending will pay off. CoreWeave and Nebius have each lost more than 30% of their value in October. According to LSEG data, traders still see a December rate hike as firmly possible, which keeps interest rates a central driver for the broader indexes.
