26–30 Oct 2026 · sized against each market's own history

It was a fairly normal week overall, with the Spotlight Index at 52. Friday was the busy end of it at 65. Only twelve days in the past year were busier.

Monday26 OctIndex 44

The biggest move came on Monday in Brazil. Lula won the presidential runoff on Sunday, beating Flávio Bolsonaro, after markets had been betting the other way. The Bovespa closed down 13.9% on Monday, its worst day since March 2020, and trading stopped for half an hour when it hit the exchange's first circuit breaker since then. The real lost about 8% against the dollar the same day. The index kept sliding as worries about public spending grew, and ended the week down 18.1%.

Thursday29 OctIndex 60

Thursday was results day for four big names. Fortinet fell 20% after its results. It raised its revenue forecast for the year but trimmed its outlook for services revenue, and growth slowed.

Alphabet fell 12.6% after its results missed profit forecasts, with adjusted earnings of $2.67 a share against $3.02 expected. Google Cloud beat, and the company said its spending on AI will rise significantly in 2027.

ServiceNow fell 26.9%, its worst day on record, after a weaker outlook for signed business revived fears that AI will upend software companies. It ended the week down 33.9%.

Caterpillar fell 9.3% on Thursday, its biggest one-day drop in a year. Sales rose 17% to $20.7bn, but reports said its outlook did not rise with its record backlog. It fell again on Friday as analysts cut their price targets.
