Comprehensive cross-platform coverage of the U.S. market close on Bloomberg Television, Bloomberg Radio, and YouTube with Scarlet Fu, Hema Parmar, Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec. A selloff in chipmakers left stocks wavering ahead of the earnings season, with traders also gearing up for this week’s inflation data that will be key in shaping the Federal Reserve outlook. The group of chip giants posted its longest retreat since July, weighing on the S&P 500 despite gains in most of its firms. While trading volume in US equities was the lowest in 2026, the stock benchmark remained near a record as bets on solid corporate results defied elevated oil prices and bond yields. Treasury futures fluctuated, with the cash market closed for Columbus Day. -------- Watch Bloomberg Radio LIVE on YouTube Weekdays 7am-6pm ET Saturday & Sunday 7am-10am ET WATCH HERE: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF Follow us on X: https://twitter.com/BloombergRadio Subscribe to our Podcasts: Bloomberg Daybreak: http://bit
