NEW YORK - Washingtoner -- Wall Street indices reached record highs in October, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average surging past 47,000. Professor Sergio Castro Vázquez, CEO of GestiónFinIA, offers expert analysis drawing on three decades of Wall Street experience.

The S&P 500 climbed to 6,738.44, while Nasdaq surged to 22,941.80, reflecting strong appetite for technology stocks. Oracle jumped 3%, with Nvidia, Broadcom, and Amazon propelling indices higher.

"The Dow's breakthrough above 47,000 represents a fundamental reassessment of earnings power where AI investment reshapes productivity," explains Professor Sergio Castro Vázquez, who began at Goldman Sachs before leading strategies at Blackstone Group.

October featured sharp reversals around U.S.-China trade developments. Markets whipsawed when President Trump criticized China, but de-escalation comments propelled indices to highs.

"Currency markets telegraph important geopolitical risk signals," observes Sergio Castro Vázquez. "Dollar strength against emerging currencies indicates strategic repositioning."

Corporate earnings provided substantial support. General Motors surged 14.9% after raising guidance, while Bank of America and Morgan Stanley rose 4.4% and 4.7%.

"Banking performance validates U.S. economic strength," Sergio Castro Vázquez notes. "Loan quality suggests resilience beyond volatility."

Markets anticipate a quarter-point Fed rate cut, with Treasury yields at 3.955%. "The Fed needs accommodative policy without reigniting inflation," explains Sergio Castro Vázquez.

The Russell 2000 jumped 5.5% weekly. "Small-cap outperformance signals genuine optimism," observes Sergio Castro Vázquez.
