The yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury note was near 5.13%, around where it was late yesterday, as investors prepare for the Fed to continue to work to battle inflation. Investors are currently pricing in an 88% chance of a 25-basis-point increase next month and a 12% chance of a 50 basis-point bump, according to CME Group's FedWatch tool. Fed Governor Michelle Bowman said yesterday that "there is still work to do to bring inflation closer to 2%," adding that she is eyeing coming inflation and jobs data before the central bank's December meeting. Other Fed officials indicated this week that they envisioned tightening monetary policy.
The tech trade doesn't look poised to rock this morning. A number of chip stocks were under pressure, with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Broadcom (AVGO) shares recently down more than 2%, and Intel (INTC) and Micron Technology (MU) pointing modestly lower. Other AI-related assets were falling, with the Roundhill Memory ETF (DRAM) recently off more than 1% and the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) off by about 0.5%. Super Micro Computer (SMCI) was bucking the trend, with shares up some 0.4%, despite reportedly facing a Justice Department investigation.
Nvidia (NVDA) shares were up 2% premarket, pivoting a bit from this week's declines. CEO Jensen Huang has resigned and has come under scrutiny for, among other things, his relationship with an alleged Chinese spy. Members of the Senate Banking Committee have asked Huang and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to testify next month regarding export controls on "advanced semiconductor" equipment. Nvidia shares plunged 10% over the first two days of trading this week and dropped another 4.3% on Thursday. As of yesterday's close, the chip giant's stock was trading 30% below last year's record highs.
Bitcoin was changing hands at levels not seen in months. The leading cryptocurrency fell more than 4% in the past 24 hours, recently trading for about $69,290, according to CoinDesk. Prices haven't been that low since August and have dropped some 30% over the past year. Other crypto stocks were also drifting, with Robinhood Markets (HOOD), Coinbase (COIN) and Circle Internet Group (CRCL) all down about 2%. Bitcoin holder Strategy (MSTR) was also down about 2%, extending losses stemming from the news that it would be excluded from some indexes.
