  "account": "On Monday, the S&P 500 rose as oil prices dropped due to hopes of a US-Iran peace agreement, while Apple shares fell before its quarterly report and investors awaited Tuesday's US midterm elections. Longer-term US Treasury yields declined, and Brent crude prices fell as Iran expressed openness to peace talks after eight months of war in the Middle East, which had kept energy prices high and contributed to inflation. Amazon and Tesla saw gains of almost 4% and 1.8%, respectively, while Apple declined 2% ahead of its quarterly report. The Nasdaq fell 5.3% for the month, following a selloff on Friday due to concerns about excessive spending on AI infrastructure. Eight of the 11 S&P 500 sector indexes increased, led by a 3.02% rise in consumer discretionary and a 2.26% gain in materials. The energy index dropped 3.3%. Intel and Palantir were flat ahead of their quarterly reports, while AMD fell 4% on the eve of its report. The S&P 500's earnings for the third quarter are expected to grow over 30% year-over-year, with AI companies driving much of the increase.",
