Closing Bell 10/9/26

The AI trade remains a "coiled spring" where a single OpenAI revenue headline can whipsaw the entire market despite healthy underlying earnings.

• OpenAI revenue 'confusion' resolved: Reporting traced yesterday's scare to accounting, not demand — annualized revenue is near $50B (vs. widely-reported $70B) after excluding cloud-partner sales like Amazon/Microsoft, ahead of a $30B raise at a $1.4T valuation.
• Geopolitics moves oil and rates: A Trump-Putin Ukraine headline cut diesel futures ~20 cents/gallon, lifting the Dow over 1% intraday as rates and crude stayed tightly linked.
