## Market summary

US stocks slipped Thu Nov 12: S&P 500 -0.35% to 7,592, Nasdaq -0.39%, Russell 2000 -1.7%, VIX up 7% to 18.7. Nvidia fell 4.3% after Jensen Huang resigned as CEO (CFO Colette Kress interim), while AMD (+5.9%) and Broadcom (+5.5%) rallied, so the chip trade is splitting rather than breaking. The 10-year Treasury yield closed near 5.10% (+10bp) after hot October CPI (+0.4% m/m), keeping a further Fed hike on the table; PPI today and FOMC minutes Nov 18 are the next tests. Oil rose 2.6% to $88.75 on US-Iran and Hormuz uncertainty, which is another inflation headwind. AI capex signals stayed firm: Applied Materials posted record $10.4B revenue and Cisco raised its FY27 outlook, and Nvidia (Nov 17) and Alibaba (Nov 19) are the next reads, with Alibaba covering China.
