US stocks today: S&P 500, Nasdaq advance as oil eases ahead of Fed decision
AI-driven gains in chip and megacap shares lifted the indexes as traders awaited the Federal Reserve decision and watched oil prices ease, analysts said.
- On Tuesday, Oct 27, 2026, an AI-fueled tech rally pushed US stocks higher, with the Nasdaq Composite climbing 1.18%, the S&P 500 gaining 0.6%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average remaining essentially flat.
- Easing oil prices and the Federal Reserve's penultimate policy meeting supported investor sentiment as the central bank convened to discuss interest rate policy amid ongoing inflation concerns.
- Chip stocks surged, boosted by Anthropic's impending IPO filing, while advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 1.76-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq, signaling broad market participation.

"The more skeptical the market gets about AI returns, the harder it becomes to justify today's pace of spending," said Jake Behan, head of capital markets at Direxion.
- The Fed is widely expected to keep the fed funds target rate on hold in the 3.75% to 4% range at its October meeting, deferring a second rate hike until December.
