#美国中期选举倒计时，美股博弈窗口已开启？ U.S. Premarket Journal (October 30, 2026): Tonight, Someone’s Going to Have to Reconcile the AI Bill on the Spot
As soon as premarket futures opened, something felt off. Nasdaq futures were down 2.12%, S&P 500 futures down 0.97%, but Dow futures had slipped just 0.06%—basically flat. This isn’t a systemic meltdown; it’s targeted demolition inside the tech pile.
There are just two triggers: Amazon and Intel.
Amazon’s AWS growth rate of 39% is real, but quarterly capital spending hit $77.2 billion, free cash flow plunged to -$42.3 billion, and the stock was down 7.5% premarket.
Intel was even worse. Its Q4 guidance collapsed, and the stock was down as much as 25% premarket. PC demand is awful, its Israeli factory was hit again, and there’s no end in sight to the cash burn. Memory, optical communications, and AI cloud stocks all followed suit: SK Hynix fell 6%, and Applied Optoelectronics dropped 8.5%.
Where’s the money going? Healthcare and financials are picking it up.
Eli Lilly rose 6% overnight, while Merck and JPMorgan moved steadily higher. Treasury yields fell to 4.94%, the dollar broke below 102, gold instead slipped under 4,000, and oil climbed above 104.
Put this combination into plain English, and it comes down to this: safe-haven money is moving toward places where investors can see returns now, rather than continuing to pour into “pie in the sky five years from now.”
Tonight, don’t focus on how much the Nasdaq falls. Watch whether the Dow can hold up. The tech sector is reshuffling the deck: companies with real cash flow and those burning through financing to sell a story are now heading down two different paths. $INTC $SOXL $SNDK #亚马逊盘前下跌约7%
