Most stocks are green as bulls aren’t getting tricked today and are enjoying a broad rally. Today’s move has helped to recover much of last week’s steep losses as investors return to AI-related stocks.

Even the Russell 2000 (RUT), which has exposure to small-cap equities, is having its best 2-day rally since early August.

All eleven sectors are trading higher led by the Industrials sector (XLI) where the AI-names are rebounding from last week’s selloff. Mega-cap stocks are providing solid leadership and contributing to gains in the Consumer Discretionary (XLY) and Communication Services (XLC) sectors. Alphabet (GOOG) is also outperforming after unveiling two new configurations of its eighth-generation tensor processing units, expanding them for enterprise AI workloads. Technology (XLK) is having a solid day, driven by a 6.6% advance in the PHLX Semiconductor Index (SOX), and is recovering a sizable portion of last week’s decline.

All eyes are on tomorrow’s CPI report. Goldman Sachs (GS) expects a 0.16% increase in core CPI for October.

The market has not seen much reaction to today’s $58 billion 3-year auction that drew a high yield of 4.627%, down from 4.932% previously and above the when-issued level of 4.622%.
