The Call

September 27, 2026

Evening edition · Published 5:31 PM ET

Friday's close saw modest rotation: chip stocks flat (NVDA +0.2%, AMD +0.2%), mega-cap tech mixed (AAPL +1.5%, TSLA -1.5%), crypto holding (BTC +0.5%), while growth took hits (PLTR -1.5%, CRM -1.8%, ADBE -1.4%). The headline: Anthropic's CEO heading to Trump dinner signals AI policy thaw, while Microsoft embeds GitHub's coding engine into Office—accelerating the agent-in-tools trend. China's potential RTX Pro approval for Nvidia could unlock chip revenue; NEAR's Bitwise ETF momentum suggests institutional crypto inflows are live. Watch overnight for policy signals and whether edge-compute narratives shift Monday open.
