US Fed's steady policy calms markets; Alphabet's AI debt spike sparks caution but selective optimism remains.

The US Federal Reserve delivered a policy update aligned with market expectations, easing macroeconomic concerns and prompting a market rally. However, Alphabet's Q3 report revealed a 479% increase in long-term debt due to heavy AI investments, raising short-term worries about AI-driven debt. Despite this, some investors remain selectively bullish on leading AI companies, viewing Alphabet's debt surge as a tactical setback rather than a fundamental issue, especially following the Fed's reassuring policy stance. The situation highlights ongoing market volatility as tech stocks adjust to AI spending and Fed policies.

Alphabet's market cap stands at $3.96 trillion with a daily trading volume of over 54 million shares on Pluang as of Oct 29, 2026, 17:55 WIB. Despite the article's focus on a sharp rise in Alphabet's long-term debt, the stock price on Pluang has dropped 10.29% in one day, reflecting investor reaction to recent developments. The company's dividend yield remains low at 0.27%, and Pluang order activity shows a strong buy sentiment at 88%.
