Summary

David Faber, Sara Eisen and Mike Santoli explored what to make of Q3 earnings beats from Bank of America and Goldman Sachs. The anchors discussed stocks falling and yields rising after September retail sales data more than doubled expectations. Nvidia and other semiconductor stocks also under pressure, after the Biden Administration announced it is tightening curbs on AI chip exports to China. At the 13D Monitor Active-Passive Investor Summit, David interviewed Starboard Value CEO Jeff Smith about the hedge fund's call for News Corp to unlock shareholder value via spinoffs. Also in focus: President Biden set to visit Israel amid its war with Hamas.
