Fed Holds Rates With No Clear December Signal; Alphabet Slumps on Earnings Miss, Marvell Eyes $83B Lumentum Deal 29 October 2026   Market Snapshot (Previous Close) 📈 S&P 500 Index 7,743.98 (+0.28%)↑ 📈 Straits Times Index 5,397.91 (+0.02%)↑ 📈 Nikkei 225 Index 63,954.19 (+1.08%)↑ 📈 Gold Spot (XAU) 4,067.35 (+0.18%)↑   🏦 The Fed held rates, with Lisa Cook and Beth Hammack dissenting in favor of a quarter-point hike. Chair Kevin Warsh gave no clear signal on December’s move, instead touting an adjusted Fed meeting schedule starting next year.   🤖 Alphabet slumped postmarket after quarterly sales and profit missed, while Microsoft rose on cloud revenue that topped projections. Marvell is said to be in advanced talks to buy Lumentum, an US$83 billion maker of optical technology critical to AI data centers, with a deal possible as soon as next week.   🇮🇷 The US is warning allies to brace for possible strikes on Iran, according to AP. Trump said JD Vance wrote to Iranian authorities offering medical supplies, after the WSJ reported the VP was engaging one of Tehran’s most powerful hardliners to restart peace talks.   🇧🇷 Flávio Bolsonaro and his family landed in Miami after fleeing Brazil, declaring himself a victim of a “witch hunt” and the “true president-elect” - a move threatening to further strain relations between Brasília and Washington.   💰 Global bond sales have climbed to US$6.61 trillion so far this year, already eclipsing 2025’s record on the AI borrowing binge, though credit markets appear to be nearing their limits as yields on AI-related debt soar. Lenders are delaying plans to sell part of a US$15 billion loan tied to an Anthropic data center in Texas.   🇸🇬 Mi Material Holding debuted on SGX’s mainboard yesterday under ticker “MIM” after raising US$215 million in its offering and cornerstone placement - the largest Singapore semiconductor IPO since 2000. The international tranche was 2.2 times subscribed and the local public offer 1.3 times, with the firm valued at approximately US$891 million at its US$1.80 offer price; proceeds will fund R&D centres in the US and Singapore and expanded manufacturing in Malaysia and Taiwan.   👀 Market Focus: Japan sells 3-month bills at 11:30am and 2-year bonds at 11:35am, ahead of its October consumer confidence index at 1:00pm. The key events tonight are US third-quarter GDP and the September core PCE price index at 8:30pm, followed by the ECB’s rate decision at 9:15pm.
