AI-stock swings, Nvidia probe and inflation data ahead

ABC News leads with a mixed, relatively calm premarket, falling oil and Monday's rally. It ties the oil drop to Trump's remark that the war in Iran "militarily is effectively over" and says many analysts expect the October inflation data to force the Fed to raise rates in the coming months. It also covers Nvidia's probe, Anthropic's $1.3 trillion IPO filing and China's trade figures.

The Boston Globe's report on Monday's trading says AI stocks recovered some ground after fears that Democratic wins could slow data-center building. It quotes Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management on the scrutiny around Huang. Al Jazeera English describes Asian markets rebounding after a tech rout it links to the Democratic victory.

It cites Nvidia's board saying it prioritizes U.S. national and economic security. A Semafor column argues this feels like "the beginning of the end of the AI trade."
