What are today's top business/market headlines?

Here are today’s top business/market headlines (Tuesday, October 20, 2026):

•Tech/AI stocks rebounded to start the week, lifting the Nasdaq and S&P 500 on Monday while the Dow was little changed; breadth remained shaky as bond yields rose.[1]

•Treasury yields climbed as haven demand eased after the tech bounce; the 10‑year note hovered a little above 5%.[2]

•Gold edged lower as energy‑driven inflation worries kept the Fed’s path uncertain.[3]

•Overnight: Asian trading was mixed; South Korea’s Kospi rebounded as AI names bounced, while parts of Europe weakened amid political unrest.[4]

•Oil is holding around the $100 per barrel mark as traders weigh supply risks and demand signals.[5]

•Investors are bracing for a heavy earnings slate (including Big Tech and airlines) plus U.S. housing and consumer‑sentiment readings later this week.[6]
