Prediction markets vs. polls: Election forecasting industry faces midterm test

Archvest Wealth Advisors — Tue, 03 Nov 2026 20:00:00 +0000

Prediction markets and pollsters both say Democrats are favored to take both the US House and Senate in the midterms. Prediction markets have been a little less certain about it, though traders’ odds jumped on Tuesday on the chances of Democrats taking control of the Senate.

That’s setting up what could be another chapter in the burgeoning rivalry between prediction markets and polls following 2024’s closely watched results.

The differences have been most evident in the upper chamber. A small but consistent gap has been evident for months in the odds of Democrats winning control of the Senate. The gap has averaged about 7.3 percentage points since Sept. 1, according to a Yahoo Finance analysis.

CoreWeave Rout Sends Warning Sign to Rest of the Stock Market

Archvest Wealth Advisors — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 19:00:00 +0000

Wall Street strategists are warning that declines in shares of AI cloud-computing providers will spill into other corners of the tech trade, potentially dragging the US stock market down to its June lows.

CoreWeave Inc. (CRWV), the company at the center of the tumult after its bonds plunged to distressed levels this month, saw its shares drop 41% since Oct. 6, when major US equity indexes hit a fresh record. Shares of other neoclouds — companies that provide computing power to firms building and running artificial intelligence models — have also posted double-digit declines during that time. Iren Ltd. (IREN) is down 40% while Nebius Group (NBIS) NV has dropped 36%.

France braces for debt sell-off after violent protests

Archvest Wealth Advisors — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 19:00:00 +0000

France is bracing for a fresh sell-off in government debt after a wave of violent protests erupted across the country.

Bond yields in France are expected to rise on Monday morning in response to the clashes, as economists fear the country increasingly appears “ungovernable”.

Higher borrowing costs will pile more strain on the country’s troubled public finances, while also stoking fears that the violence will lead to a more populist, free-spending candidate coming to power.

Official data show China is dumping more U.S. Treasury debt. But it may actually be a stealth buyer, with a big stash suspiciously piling up in Canada

Archvest Wealth Advisors — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 19:00:00 +0000

China was once the top holder of U.S. Treasuries but has been shedding its massive stockpile for years, fueling fears of de-dollarization. But official data may not fully capture Beijing’s actual portfolio.

The decline began in earnest around 2021, but as recently as April 2022, China still held $1 trillion in Treasury securities. U.S. data on Friday show that’s been whittled down to just $591 billion as of August, the lowest in 18 years and down from $700 billion a year earlier.

But the data is collected primarily from U.S.-based custodians and broker-dealers, according to the Treasury Department, which adds that U.S. securities held in overseas custody accounts may not be attributed to the actual owners.

‘Yikes’: CoreWeave stock tanks on bond yield woes, CEO blames market acting ‘irrationally’

Archvest Wealth Advisors — Thu, 15 Oct 2026 19:00:00 +0000

CoreWeave (CRWV) stock fell 15% on Wednesday, a day after a chart of its rising borrowing costs gained traction on X.

Bloomberg, citing an internal memo, reports that the AI cloud company’s CEO stated in a memo that the market is acting “irrationally.”

“When you are building a new type of technology company, there will be periods of time when the market misunderstands and acts irrationally,” CEO Mike Intrator wrote to staff. “We are confident in our business model, our customers, the extraordinary quality of our execution, and the relentless discipline around the financial engine we have built.”

CPI inflation live updates: Prices rose 3.7% in September

Archvest Wealth Advisors — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 19:00:00 +0000

Inflation heated back up in September, with the Consumer Price Index coming in at a hotter-than-expected 3.7% annual reading, driven primarily by surging fuel prices.

But even “core” inflation, which excludes energy and food, increased more than economists projected, rising 2.6% annually, up from 2.4% in August.

The latest figures complicate the Federal Reserve’s task of bringing down inflation to its 2% target. Traders had widely been expecting the Fed to hold interest rates steady at its meeting later this month, but odds of a hike are now rising on the September data.

The 10-year Treasury yield (^TNX) rose 3 basis points to 5.31%, hovering near its highest levels since 2002, but stocks extended a Friday rally on pared-back Fed rate-hike bets.

US unemployment below 5% approaches historic record not seen since mid-1960s

Archvest Wealth Advisors — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 19:00:00 +0000

For many US households, it may not feel like the economy is doing well amid the higher cost of living brought on by the US war on Iran.

But believe it or not, the US economy is nearing an impressive achievement on the unemployment front.

The US unemployment rate is nearing a record number of consecutive months below 5%, Truist chief strategist Keith Lerner pointed out (see the chart below). The longtime record dates back to the mid-1960s.

It’s a worthwhile perspective to keep in mind as markets attempt to rationalize a surprisingly weak September jobs report.
