However, the firm noted that Muse's daily active users were not growing as quickly as downloads.As of this writing, <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/META">META stock</a> traded nearly 1% lower.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Room For Meta Muse To Improve</h2>While Muse is still capturing around&nbsp;300,000 new downloads in the U.S. per day, Daily Active Users (DAUs) aren't scaling as quickly, with 14-day retention at ~20%, Morgan Stanley said.The firm said the trend was unsurprising given the early stage of the agentic AI market, but emphasized that Muse would need continued product innovation to develop more use cases and daily user habits.The distinction matters because initial downloads measure interest in the product, while retention indicates whether consumers continue using it after installation.Meta launched Muse in September, drawing investor attention to the company's efforts to develop a consumer-facing AI business beyond its established advertising operations. Last week, Meta also introduced its Muse Wonder models, designed to handle more complex personal and professional AI tasks.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Meta’s Upcoming Earnings Put AI Spending In Focus</h2>Meta is scheduled to report third-quarter results after the closing bell on Wednesday. Investors will be watching whether growing AI investment is translating into stronger financial performance and sustained user engagement.In the fiscal second quarter (Q2), Meta's revenue rose 28% year over year to $60.8 billion, although its operating margin narrowed to 31% from 43% a year earlier. The company guided for third-quarter revenue of $61 billion to $64 billion.It also projected full-year capital expenditures, including principal payments on finance leases, of $130 billion to $145 billion. The results will provide investors with an opportunity to assess Meta's spending plans and any updates on Muse adoption, retention and monetization.<h2 class="st-heading-2">What Retail Thinks of Meta Stock&nbsp;</h2>On Stocktwits, retail investors’ sentiment around META stock remained in the ‘bearish’ territory.<figure class="image"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2026_10_19_204615_276cdecc91.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-10-19 204615.png" width="813" height="418"><figcaption>META stock retail sentiment on October 19, as of 11:00 a.m. ET | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>So far this year, META stock has risen over 8%.

And of course, that's the kind of thing the Fed needs to pay attention to.”The NEC director attributed an estimated $2,000 increase in inflation-adjusted average wages since President Donald Trump took office to a third-party group, while acknowledging that wages had lagged inflation in recent months.Official BLS data showed real average hourly earnings declined 0.5% in September and 0.7% year over year. The economy added 29,000 jobs in September, while unemployment stood at 4.2%.“We’re very bullish still on the outlook for the economy,” said Hassett, adding that people are euphoric about how well the economy is doing and are spending more. And “that’s the kind of thing the Fed needs to pay attention to”.<h2 class="st-heading-2">US GDP Growth At Almost 4%, Says Hassett</h2>Hassett identified spending at hotels and resorts, alongside airfares, as notable positive factors in the inflation report. According to him, heavy consumer spending on travel is consistent with the administration’s view that gross domestic product (GDP) growth is almost 4%.His comments came after last week’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) report showed annual inflation accelerating in September. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data showed that annual inflation rose to 3.7% from 3.4% in August, while core inflation accelerated to 2.6% from 2.4%.&nbsp;“This is either a sort of break from the downtrend or a blip,” said Hassett, adding that the previous three months had suggested inflation was under control but that it now appeared to need more work.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Hassett On Economic Outlook, AI Debt</h2>Asked whether higher oil prices could reverse the positive trends he had described, he said, “the future is very bright, especially if you consider that we’re not only talking about prices, but talking about wages.”&nbsp;According to Hassett, when there’s real wage growth due to a supply shock, there’s a secondary increase in demand, referring to what he described as a positive supply shock that helped slow inflation in the first half of the year.Talking about how closely the White House is watching CoreWeave, credit default swaps, and AI debt, Hassett said it is something they are studying closely.&nbsp; He told CNBC, “There are reasons to pay attention to the matter, but not reasons certainly for panic right now. But it is something that we’re monitoring closely”.<h2 class="st-heading-2">BofA Still Expects October Rate Hike</h2>Meanwhile, Bank of America maintained its forecast for an October Federal Reserve interest rate increase, saying “September inflation bolsters the case for an October hike,” according to Investing.com on Monday.The bank said core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) inflation “could plausibly end the year at 3.4% year over year,” and noted that markets were pricing a 20% probability of an October hike.The Federal Reserve’s next policy meeting is scheduled for October 27-28.See Also: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/core-weave-not-circling-the-drain-says-analyst-but-warns-of-staggering-financial-obligations/cZx8NuRRBMZ">CoreWeave ‘Not Circling The Drain,’ Says Analyst — But Warns Of ‘Staggering’ Financial Obligations</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com

He added that valuations in these areas remain “quite reasonable.”Investors have become increasingly concerned about the scale of spending needed to build AI infrastructure, including how companies will finance new data centers and whether the resulting returns will justify the investment.

The index closed Friday at 7,659.44, down 0.1% for the month. Technology fell 7.25% over the period, while industrials slipped 0.5%. Nine of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sectors were higher.The strongest gains came from defensive groups and energy. Consumer staples rose 9.1%, energy gained 8.8%, utilities advanced 6.4% and health care climbed 6.3%. Technology’s large weighting in the S&amp;P 500 means its losses have offset gains elsewhere.The rotation suggests investors are favoring defensive businesses and energy exposure while reassessing expensive technology stocks. Procter &amp; Gamble (PG) and Philip Morris International (PM) report this week, giving investors a fresh look at demand for consumer staples.The key question is whether chip stocks can recover without defensive sectors surrendering their gains. Oil prices, earnings and Treasury yields will help decide whether the market broadens out or the pressure on technology deepens.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/elon-musk-roadster-nvidia-space-ai-push-nadella-security-warning-mag-7-ceos-this-week/cZxjushRBtE">Elon Musk’s Roadster, Nvidia’s Space AI Push, Nadella’s Security Warning: Mag 7 Voices This Week</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
