US stocks edge higher as Wall Street extends its record run despite the government shutdown entering day three. Economic data remains frozen, with the September jobs report delayed, but investors continue to ride the AI wave as Nvidia (NVDA) and OpenAI unveil new partnerships. President Trump is reportedly preparing a $10B bailout package for US farmers hit by China tariffs, with soybean producers set to benefit most. Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB) and Comerica (CMA) shares remain in focus after their $10.9B merger announcement, while Bitcoin (BTC-USD) and gold hover near record highs. In trending tickers, Applied Materials (AMAT) slides after a $600M revenue hit tied to China export rules, Chevron (CVX) investigates a refinery fire in Los Angeles, and Cracker Barrel (CBRL) falls after reversing its controversial logo redesign following backlash from President Trump.
