As of midday trading on Wall Street, stocks gave up some of yesterday’s huge gains on today’s latest inflation numbers. The Dow fell a half percent. The S&P 500 was down 7 tenths of a percent. And the Nasdaq was off by 1.2%. Comex gold fell almost $75 to $4,039.60 an ounce. The U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate Crude oil futures fell another 91 cents to $85.94 a barrel.

The Labor Department today reported that the consumer price index rose just 0.4% from September to October, down from 0.6% the month before. There were no official numbers for annual inflation because last year’s government shutdown prevented any data from being released about October 2025. But core prices without the volatile food and energy sectors rose 0.3% – the same as the preceding month. Both CPI and inflation were a tenth higher than government predictions raising concerns that inflation is more than just temporary spikes in prices at the gas pump. Economic growth continues to be driven mostly by consumer spending. America’s struggles with high prices were evident in last week’s election results. In an AP Voter Poll of 100k voters, two thirds blamed President Trump’s policies for higher prices. 90% said the cost of living was a “crucial” or “major” factor in how they voted. Persistent elevated inflation makes it very likely the Federal Reserve will raise borrowing rates at its next meeting in December. https://apnews.com/article/consumer-prices-holiday-inflation-tariffs-trump-fcd3c7766d3cdb36057f6dab19ff3a8e

Gas prices have soared more than 37% from one year ago. Even though crude and pump prices are now declining, that big jump from last year is now making its way through the supply chain. Beef prices rose almost 1% last month alone and are up 14% this year. Restaurant prices were up another half percent last month. Inflation has been worsened by the AI boom. Massive investments in artificial intelligence has contributed to higher prices for, and shortages of computer chips, electricity and consumer electronics. Computer prices were up a half percent last month and 10% this year. The cost of computers had been falling for years as more efficient semiconductor chips came on the market. Streaming services have gotten more expensive, though it’s harder to link that to increased energy prices. With everything costing so much more, small businesses especially are bracing for a spending pullback by consumers. They’re especially concerned about the increased cost of shipping due to fuel prices. Some will be eliminating free shipping or increasing shipping fees. Thanks to long-term contracts, larger companies may not have as tough a time with holiday shipping costs. https://apnews.com/article/consumer-prices-holiday-inflation-tariffs-trump-fcd3c7766d3cdb36057f6dab19ff3a8e

In a regulatory filing today, Anthropic revealed it is seeking an approximately $1.3 trillion valuation when it goes public. 825m share will be available for between $70 and $78 a share. The IPO is expected to happen next month. A filing last month showed that Anthropic’s revenue is growing rapidly – more than $16b in the first half of this year. That’s 14 times what it did in the same period last year. The company was formed in 2021 by former leaders from OpenAI, one of its main rivals, whom it will beat to the market going public. Other competitors include Google, SpaceX and a number of Chinese companies. With the sector still in growth mode, there is concern over the looming prospect of higher interest rates. https://apnews.com/article/anthropic-ipo-claude-ai-spacex-openai-amodei-8cf2319c870322019712ab658f71ec55

Apple will open a retail store Carlsbad’s Forum shopping center on November 20.

The Food and Drug Administration now says GLP-1 weight loss drugs including Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound have a possible link to vision loss. That risk will now be added to the labeling of all GLP-1 drugs. The eye condition is known as non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. Bottom line – decreased blood flow to the optic nerve causes significant vision loss with symptoms including blurred vision, blind spots, and distorted colors. https://apnews.com/article/glp1-drugs-vision-loss-warning-d85a58ea769bc12cc1989e914a51f248

Skydance plans to start bundling HBO Max and Paramount+ streaming services early next year. The newly merged Skydance issued its first quarterly earnings yesterday and outlined plans for billions of dollars in cost savings. CEO David Ellison told those on the earnings call that the two streaming services will “converge” about a year from now. Company-wide savings will come from combining duplicate services, which means layoffs, along with fewer management layers, consolidating real estate, use of third-party vendors and relying more heavily on AI tools. https://www.cnn.com/2026/11/09/media/skydance-hbo-max-paramount-plus-bundle

On this day in music history – November 10,

1955, while at the fourth Country Music Disc Jockey Convention in Nashville, Mae Boren Axton played Elvis a demo of a new song she and Tommy Durden has written called “Heartbreak Hotel”. Two months later, Elvis’ new label RCA Victor released it. The song became his first #1 hit.
In 1967, The Beatles shot three promotional films for their new single, “Hello Goodbye”. In one, they wore their Sgt.

In 1984, former lead singer for Rufus, Chaka Kahn was at #1 with “I Feel for You”. Originally released in 1979, the repetition of Kahn’s name by rapper Mellie Mel at the beginning was a mistake that producer Arif Mardin decided to keep in the track
In 1990, Vanilla Ice began the first of 16 weeks at #1 with his album, “To The Extreme”.
In 1997, session guitarist Tommy Tedesco died of lung cancer at age 67. Guitar Magazine described him as the most-recorded guitarist in history. He worked with The Beach Boys, Everly Brothers, Supremes, The Monkees, The Association, Barbra Streisand, Elvis, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Zappa, Sam Cooke, Cher, Nancy and Frank Sinatra and also played on many TV themes including Bonanza, The Twilight Zone, M*A*S*H, and Batman.
