Tech Stocks Extend Gains After Yesterday's Anthropic Rally -- Update
Dow Jones2026/10/27 18:23By Rebecca Feng
The Anthropic-inspired rally yesterday is extending into day two: Tech stocks are up, pushing the Nasdaq more than 1% higher.
Among the top gainers are chipmakers and AI-infrastructure stocks. CoreWeave is reclaiming some of the value it lost earlier this month to concerns about the massive debt load that comes with the AI buildout.
Meanwhile, Brent crude prices are slipping. They remain elevated at about $110 a barrel, as attacks continue on commercial shipping in the Persian Gulf.
Also in focus today: Israelis are voting in parliamentary elections that could determine whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gets to remain in power. The outcome could be consequential for the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. Netanyahu has said Israel must finish the job of overthrowing the Iranian regime, whereas his opponent, Gadi Eisenkot, has said he favors turning military victories into diplomatic achievements.
