## What changed

- Chips closed the week lower: NVDA about -12% on the week, AMD -9%, MRVL -4.7%; META +2.9%.
- S&P -0.4%, Nasdaq -0.9% Fri, but both up 2%+ on the week; 10y touched 5.17%.
- H100 rent $3.10/hr, up 10% in 7 days; compute still supply-constrained.
- Next: Nvidia Tue Nov 17 = Wed 9am AEDT; Anthropic prices Wed, trades Thu = Fri AEDT; BABA Thu.

## Market summary

Friday Nov 13 closed mixed: S&P 500 -0.40%, Nasdaq -0.91%, Dow +0.10%, though all three still rose 2-2.5% on the week. Chips led the drop: Nvidia about -12% on the week (now under $4T after Huang's resignation and an HSBC downgrade to Hold), with AMD -9%, Broadcom -6% and SK Hynix -6%. October PPI rose 0.3% m/m (below 0.4% forecast) but 6.5% y/y, the highest since Nov 2022; the 10-year hit 5.17% intraday, its highest since October, and markets price a likely Fed hike in December. WTI crude was little changed near $88.6 after a spike earlier in the week. Next week hinges on Nvidia (Tue), Anthropic's IPO (prices Wed, trades Thu) and Alibaba (Thu), with Alibaba's open-model lead flagged as a China angle on any US chip supply squeeze.
