U.S. stocks ended a volatile week and October lower as investors questioned the cost and returns of massive AI spending, with technology shares leading declines. The coming week is expected to bring further market tests, including the midterm elections, a crowded earnings calendar and the October jobs report, alongside economic data and uncertainty overseas. CNBC’s Jim Cramer cautioned investors against assuming the Nasdaq has bottomed, while highlighting risks to AI infrastructure projects if political opposition delays data-center construction. Investors will also weigh company-specific results: Apple and Palantir are among the prominent technology names reporting, while ExxonMobil and Uber are identified as notable trade stories amid oil-market volatility and concerns about robotaxis, respectively.

Leo’s first stop at a home for people with disabilities underscores the dispute: the facility says government cuts have halted supplies of medication, special food and diapers.
