#美国中期选举倒计时,美股博弈窗口已开启? U.S. Market Midday Brief (October 31): Dow Unmoved, Nasdaq Bleeding—This Isn’t a Crash, It’s a Changing of the Guard

Just half an hour after the open, the picture was already clear: Dow futures were trading almost flat, while Nasdaq futures were still down more than 2%. Two directions in the same market. This isn’t systemic panic—it’s a targeted defusing of risks in the tech sector.

Where is the money flowing out of? AI hardware is taking the hardest hit. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell more than 6% at one point during the session, while Micron, AMD, and SanDisk headed toward losses of more than 10%. Nvidia and TSMC followed them lower.

More importantly, the fear has spread—software and cloud stocks are getting hammered too. ServiceNow plunged nearly 27% overnight, while Oracle and CoreWeave came under further pressure today.

This shows that the market is questioning more than just whether “chips can be sold.” It’s scrutinizing the cash flows and returns of the entire high-valuation tech sector.

Where is the money flowing in? Healthcare and financials.
Eli Lilly rose more than 6% overnight, while Merck and JPMorgan moved steadily higher. Safe-haven money hasn’t fled—it’s just found a place to hunker down where real cash flows are in sight.

Trump says the “Iran war will end soon,” but oil prices are rising in premarket trading today, with Brent near 113 and WTI above 104. They’re talking about stopping, but oil isn’t buying it. Inflationary pressure is weighing on the market, leaving high-valuation tech gasping for air.$CL $SOXL $SNDK
