Launch Financial with Brad Sherman.

Overview: As October comes to a close, markets are navigating a busy week of corporate earnings, Federal Reserve policy discussions, and renewed momentum in artificial intelligence stocks. Chipmakers including Nvidia, Broadcom, and AMD are seeing gains as enthusiasm surrounding AI continues to drive market sentiment. Meanwhile, investors are watching the Fed's latest interest rate decision, declining oil prices, and mixed economic data. The housing market remains under significant pressure, with historically low pending home sales and weakening builder confidence, while durable goods orders point to resilience in other areas of the economy. We'll also break down the latest corporate earnings, shifting performance across major asset classes, and what these trends could mean heading into November. Finally, with the holiday season approaching, we'll discuss the importance of holiday budgeting, managing travel expenses, and taking advantage of year-end tax planning opportunities to finish 2026 on strong financial footing.
