Odaily Report: Wall Street's recent risk-off sentiment toward equities may have set the stage for a strong market rebound. If Anthropic's planned IPO rekindles investor enthusiasm for artificial intelligence, tech stocks in particular could be poised for a rally. Data from Deutsche Bank shows that investors have reduced equity exposure to levels broadly in line with historical norms. Active investors' exposure to U.S. stocks has fallen to its lowest level in over a month, and funds employing computer-driven trading strategies have also trimmed positions. Once market confidence recovers, there is still room for a new wave of buying. Hedge funds have acted more aggressively, increasingly betting on falling stock prices.Goldman Sachs Group said that this month, for every $1 of stocks its hedge fund clients bought, they shorted about $5 of stocks. The firm's records show that the scale of hedge funds borrowing funds to bet on falling stock prices is now near the highest level in five years. If stocks subsequently strengthen, these short bets could instead become a catalyst for gains, forcing those betting on declines to buy shares to close out their positions. (Bloomberg)

According to a Goldman Sachs report, the Federal Reserve is expected to pause rate hikes at its October policy meeting, but may implement the final rate increase of this cycle in December. Goldman Sachs noted that since September, the Financial Conditions Index (FCI) has tightened by approximately 30 basis points, a magnitude insufficient to substitute for further rate hikes. Markets should not interpret tightening financial conditions as a signal that the rate-hiking cycle is about to end.

According to Bloomberg, SpaceX's proposed $40 billion AI financing plan has faced roadblocks. Sources indicate that SpaceX plans to conduct fundraising through a special purpose entity (SPV), a financing structure that would allow it to move related liabilities off its balance sheet to protect its own investment-grade credit rating. However, recent turbulence in credit markets has complicated negotiations over borrowing costs, as investors begin reassessing the risks associated with financing large-scale AI infrastructure projects. Goldman Sachs is currently leading discussions with an investor group spearheaded by Apollo Global Management.

Goldman Sachs assesses that strong demand for AI platforms and a favorable customer product mix are driving revenue and gross margins to exceed expectations, but with valuations already close to target prices, upside for the stock remains limited.

Goldman Sachs assesses that AI deployment remains on track, with physical AI revenue diversifying. Supply chain capacity expansion points to a CPU ramp exceeding prior expectations. The firm maintains a Buy rating with a $300 target price, representing 38.6% upside from the Oct 20 closing price of $216.47; roughly $235 billion has been authorized for share buybacks. We recommend focusing on the scaling of physical AI revenue and supply chain delivery progress.

The platform currently supports contracts on the S&P 500 Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq Composite Index, Russell 2000 Index, Cboe Volatility Index, as well as crude oil, gold, silver, natural gas, and copper.The platform's risk engine employs multiple external price sources, mark prices, circuit breakers, partial liquidations, and an insurance fund, and uses a central limit order book and a clearing layer to handle margin, collateral, and settlement. Deepsigma is also developing a zero-knowledge proof-based decentralized identity framework and configuring off-chain AI analytics tools with unfunded execution permissions; the underlying Cypherium adopts a hybrid PoW and HotStuff Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus mechanism and holds 4 U.S. patents.
