  "summary": "Big tech earnings set the tone. Amazon and Alphabet both missed, which brought back worries about how much Big Tech is spending on AI, and Intel crashed on a weak outlook, so Friday was the worst day of the week (Nasdaq down 2.9%). The Fed held rates steady in a split vote while inflation rose, and higher oil prices from Middle East tension added to the pressure. The Nasdaq finished October down about 5%, its worst month since March 2025, while small companies (Russell 2000) gained 1.3% for the week.",
