US stock markets saw a positive opening on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes advancing. This rise occurred as oil prices eased for the second day, supporting investor appetite for risk. The market is also anticipating the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, widely expected to be a hold, and a series of significant corporate earnings reports. Brent crude oil experienced a slip in volatile trading, continuing a downward trend from the previous session, though it remained near recent highs. Major indexes showed mixed early movements, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average seeing a slight decrease while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq gained ground. Technology and growth stocks traded with varying performance, with some chip stocks and neocloud firms showing notable increases. ## Disagreement on Dow Jones Movement While PerthNow reported the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 73.92 points, or 0.14 per cent, Devdiscourse noted that Dow E-minis were up 186 points, or 0.35%. The West Australian's digest stated US stocks opened higher, and Sapo's digest indicated only the Dow Jones recorded slight losses. El Comercio and Capital.gr digests reported a mixed opening with the Dow Jones flat or retreating. ## What the coverage left out None of the centre or right-rated reports mentioned Meta's increased equity fundraising to $97.5 billion to fund AI expansion, a detail included in the full reports from PerthNow and Devdiscourse. The centre-rated reports also did not mention the November 3 midterm elections, a detail present in the full reports from PerthNow and Devdiscourse. ## Who covered it Shares of the 8 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 0% (0) - Centre: 50% (4) - Right: 50% (4) 7 of 15 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages. Coverage measured 2026-10-27T23:00:40.985836+00:00. **Coverage watch:** developing. Checked 3 times; 1 check found a material change. Most recently checked 2026-10-27T23:15:19.367Z. ## How the sides framed it ### Left No separate framing summary. ### Centre - Centre-rated reports from PerthNow and Devdiscourse led with the advance of Wall Street indexes and the easing of oil prices ahead of the Federal Reserve's decision. Both full reports highlighted the expectation that the Fed would hold rates steady. They also noted the significance of upcoming corporate earnings, particularly from hyperscalers, for assessing AI investment returns. Meta's increased equity fundraising for AI expansion was mentioned by both, with PerthNow detailing the amount and Devdiscourse noting a slight dip in Meta's shares. Anthropic's IPO filing was also a point of focus. ### Right - Right-rated reports from The West Australian, Sapo, and Zero Hedge focused on the overall market movement and key influencing factors. The West Australian's digest stated US stocks opened higher due to favourable tech shares and lower oil prices. Sapo's digest mentioned a mixed opening with slight losses for the Dow Jones. Zero Hedge's digest, under the headline 'Buy All The Things...' Except Oil, alluded to a buying spree ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting. **Provisional coverage gap:** left.
