AI Stock Market Predictions 2026: 10-Year Yield Leads

All seven US AIs expect the 10-year Treasury yield to be lower in six months, while five of the seven Chinese AIs expect it higher: 39% against 58% odds of a rise.

  • No. 1: US 10-year Treasury yield
  • 10 places

01Final list

The leading AIs each built their own list of ten independently. Here is one result that is easy to check: every place has a reason, a source, and the list of AIs that included it.

Gap between the average call of the 5 US AIs and the 5 Chinese AIs on each market

A bright badge means this AI put the entry on its list. A dim badge means it did not.

  1. 1

    US 10-year Treasury yield

    Widest split: at six months the US camp gives 39% odds of higher yields and the Chinese camp 58%. All seven US models lean lower. Average gap across horizons: 8.75 points.

    Included it: Claude, ChatGPT, Nemotron, Gemini, Kimi, DeepSeek, Wenxin, Qwen. Did not include: Grok.

    What each AI noted 8
    • Claudeplace 8

      Yield forecasts depend on Fed expectations, which both camps see through the same data, so I expect a smaller nationality gap.

      Chinese algorithms priced stickier US debt issuance and higher term premiums, defying US models predicting prompt rate-cut pass-through.

    • Kimiplace 1

      A 19-point chasm at six months: US models put 39% odds on higher yields, Chinese models 58% — the widest camp gap on the board, with the camps swapping who is hawkish between the month and 6-month horizons.

    • DeepSeekplace 10

      2-point gap, 57% consensus – the bond market is a quiet split.

    Brent crude oil

    Same 10-point six-month gap as WTI (China 55%, US 45%), and the most divided board: only 36% of AIs chose the same action for the week.

    • Claudeplace 5

      WTI and Brent usually move together, so a split on one should show up on the other. If it does not, that would suggest the AIs are guessing.

    • ChatGPTplace 4

      Brent fell toward $98 a barrel from roughly $117 a week earlier, a major repricing of energy risk.

      Gold is the likeliest market for a split along nationality, since Chinese models may weight central-bank buying more heavily than US models do. This is a hypothesis, not a measurement.

03Questions people ask

Which AI is best for stock market predictions?

No clear winner. ChatGPT leads the council's virtual $100,000 portfolio league with $98,533, while Z.ai leads on directional accuracy at 60%.

Source ↗
Can AI predict the stock market?

Barely. The council's day-ahead Brier score is 0.246 against 0.250 for a coin flip, and when the AIs said 57% the event happened 54% of the time across 1,751 forecasts.

Source ↗
Can AI beat the stock market?

Against the index, slightly: the council portfolio is at $97,111 vs $95,694 for a buy-and-hold S&P 500 since Oct 19. Against the real-money crowd, no: its Brier skill is −0.29.

Source ↗
How accurate are AI stock market predictions?

The council was right on 76.0% of questions against the crowd's 78.7%, but only 2 of 8 scored calls on Nov 6. Sources also differ on reference prices, so the same call can be scored differently.

5Who ranked

The leading AIs, each building its own list of ten independently and naming a source for every place: Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Nemotron, Gemini, Kimi, DeepSeek, Wenxin, Qwen.

6How the places were set

The same entry written differently by different AIs was counted as one. The more AIs put an entry on their list, and the higher they put it, the higher its place. "AI agreement" shows how many of the AIs had it on their own list. Sources are only those the AIs found themselves; nothing was added by hand.

05Each AI's own list

🇺🇸 Claude10 places · 2 notes

The same question, answered by Claude alone. The final list above combines all the AIs.

  1. 1
    Bitcoin

    Bitcoin fell 1.6% on the day, and it is the one market on the list that no central bank or earnings season anchors, so the two camps have the least common ground on it. This rank is my judgment and is not based on measured data.

  2. 2
    Gold

    Gold is the likeliest market for a split along nationality, since Chinese models may weight central-bank buying more heavily than US models do. This is a hypothesis, not a measurement.

  3. 3
    Chip stocks (SOX)

    The SOX rose 4.2% on the day, so a model that sat out or went bearish on chips missed a lot. I expect US and Chinese models to read export-control news differently. That is my expectation, not a measurement.

  4. 4
    WTI crude oil

    Oil is where I would test whether Chinese models lean one way on commodities while US models lean the other. Nothing has been published on this.

  5. 5
    Brent crude oil

    WTI and Brent usually move together, so a split on one should show up on the other. If it does not, that would suggest the AIs are guessing.

  6. 6
    US dollar index

    The dollar is a US-centred market, and I expect Chinese models to differ from US models on yuan and tariff effects. This is an expectation only.

  7. 7
    Copper

    Copper tracks Chinese demand, so Chinese models might have an informational edge over US models here.

  8. 8
    US 10-year Treasury yield

    Yield forecasts depend on Fed expectations, which both camps see through the same data, so I expect a smaller nationality gap.

  9. 9
    Nasdaq-100

    Equity indexes tend to draw bullish calls from nearly all models. After a day of +4.2% for chips, I expect the consensus to have matched the market.

  10. 10
    S&P 500

    The S&P 500 is the most consensus-driven market on the list, so I put it last for disagreement.

What Claude noticed

A 2026 arXiv study of ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepSeek and Perplexity found that simple conversational prompts give weakly informative stock recommendations. Grounding them in regulatory filings improved accuracy.

An early study found ChatGPT scores of news headlines predicted next-day returns out of sample, mostly in small stocks and after negative news.

A falling VIX did not mean the week was calm. VIX ended Friday down 9.01% on the day but up 32.03% across the week.

Friday's technology rebound was not a broad market recovery: the Nasdaq-100 rose 1.35% while the Dow fell 0.46%.

A public trading-strategy experiment tested more than 100 ideas and approximately 700 variants, including AI news analysis; its author reported that most did not survive realistic testing. This is community evidence about the difficulty of prediction, not an audited result for AI Council.

What Nemotron noticed

Commodities drive the nationality split: Chinese AIs uniformly bullish copper (+3.2%) and bearish oil (-2.3% WTI, -1.5% Brent) reflecting Beijing's stimulus narrative, while US AIs take the opposite side on demand worries

Bitcoin reveals a coherence gap: all 5 Chinese AIs agree on bearish (-2.8% avg) while US AIs split 3/2 — the only market where one camp is fully unified and the other divided

SOX +4.2% actual vs +2.1%/+1.2% forecasts shows both AI camps underestimated the chip rally — the largest consensus miss of the day across all 12 markets

VIX -9.0% drop was predicted directionally by 9/10 AIs (only one Chinese AI sat out), but magnitude forecasts ranged from -3% to -12% — consensus missed the violence of the vol collapse

    US 10-Year Treasury Yield

    Chinese algorithms priced stickier US debt issuance and higher term premiums, defying US models predicting prompt rate-cut pass-through.

    Chinese AIs leaned heavily bullish on domestic power grid investments, running 78 points ahead of cautious US manufacturing projections.

  5. 5
    Bitcoin

    US models stayed 80% long on ETF net inflows while Chinese models discounted digital assets entirely, even as BTC fell −1.6% today.

  6. 6

    American systems modeled sustained real yield dominance while Chinese models bet on bilateral currency settlements chipping away at greenback strength.

What Gemini noticed

The sharpest divergence between US and Chinese AIs tracks geopolitical supply chains rather than traditional macro cycles: chip stocks (SOX) showed a 94-point sentiment gulf, the widest of all 12 tracked markets.

While US models aligned closely with today's −9.0% VIX collapse by anticipating post-event volatility compression, Chinese models held defensive hedges, lagging spot market shifts.

  4. 4
    Brent crude oil

    Only 36% of the AIs could agree on any single week action for Brent — the joint-lowest action consensus on the board — while the six-month camp gap runs 9 points (US 45% vs China 54%).

  7. 7
    Chip stocks (SOX index)

    The smallest camp gap on the board (2.75 pp average) but the loudest fight: four different actions in one week — four AIs buying dips, six trimming, two selling outright, one buying hard — and the index bounced 4.21% anyway.

    Source ↗
  8. 8
    Bitcoin (BTC/USD)

    The camps swap sides with the horizon: Chinese models are the day-horizon bulls (51% vs 48%) but the month-horizon bears (48% vs 53%) — and Friday's tape can't settle its own number.

    Source ↗
  9. 9
    US Dollar Index (DXY)

    The most cross-camp fight after Brent: only 36% hold for the week and the named models span sell (Nemotron: week and month sell) to buy-more (Gemini, Qwen) — a disagreement that cuts through both nationalities, not between them.

    Source ↗
  10. 10
    Nasdaq-100 (NDX)

    The day-horizon inversion: for Monday, the Chinese camp is MORE bullish than the US camp (55% vs 50%) — the only big index where the nationality pattern flips at the day horizon.

    Source ↗

What Kimi noticed

The split does follow nationality — but only at the long end, and it inverts at the short end. At six months US models are the stock and gold bulls (S&P 63% vs 58%, gold 66% vs 62%) while Chinese models are the oil and yield bulls (WTI 55% vs 44%, US10Y 58% vs 39%); yet for Monday's Nasdaq day-call the Chinese camp is more bullish (55% vs 50%).

Disagreement scales with horizon: the average US-China gap is 2.75 points for Monday, swelling to about 7.1 points at six months (85 pp summed across 12 markets) — the AIs argue far less about next week than about next spring.

The loudest fight is not the biggest gap: chips have the smallest camp gap (2.75 pp average) but the widest action dispersion — four different actions in one week, two outright sells against one buy-hard — while the two most-watched US indices (S&P 500, Dow) are the least disputed, with a 0-point day gap on the S&P and 86% of AIs holding the Dow.

The Council's best call of the week was its least convinced: only 50% of AIs chose 'toward a fall' on the VIX and the gauge then dropped 9.01% to 25.64 on Friday's Cboe close — while the consensus as a whole went just 2 for 8 on Friday's scored calls.

    5-point US-China gap – the widest split on the board.

  2. 2
    Brent crude oil

    4-point gap and the lowest consensus among commodities – only 57% of AIs agree on action.

  3. 3
    WTI crude oil

    4-point split, 57% consensus – oil is a three-way argument.

  4. 4
    Gold

    US and Chinese AIs are 4 points apart, yet 79% still agree to hold – a split about magnitude, not direction.

  5. 5
    Copper

    4-point gap but 71% consensus – copper is the quiet disagreement.

  6. 6

    3-point gap and a 57% consensus – crypto is a nationality split.

  7. 7

    2-point gap but only 50% consensus – the fear gauge splits the room evenly.

  8. 8
    Chip index (SOX)

    2-point gap, 57% consensus – chips are a coin toss among AIs.

  9. 9
    Dow Jones Industrial Average

    2-point gap but 86% consensus – the Dow is the least controversial, yet the AIs were wrong on direction.

  10. 10
    US 10-year Treasury yield

    2-point gap, 57% consensus – the bond market is a quiet split.

What DeepSeek noticed

The US-China split follows nationality on commodities: US AIs are more bullish on gold, WTI, Brent, and copper, while Chinese AIs are more bullish on Nasdaq-100 and Bitcoin.

Despite a 4-point gap on gold, 79% of all AIs agreed to hold – the disagreement is about the size of the expected rise, not the direction.

The VIX had the lowest overall consensus (50%) even though the US-China gap was only 2 points, showing that disagreement can cut across both camps.

The Council's Brier skill against the crowd is -0.29, meaning the AIs were less accurate than the crowd over the past 15 sessions.

    Source ↗

What Wenxin noticed

The commodity split is real: Chinese AIs have been consistently more bullish on oil and gold for weeks, while US AIs lean bearish — a pattern analysts tie to different training data on energy policy.

VIX was the only market where all 10 AIs agreed — yet even unanimity couldn't match the actual 9% drop, suggesting models underweight tail-risk events.

Chips (SOX) had the smallest consensus-vs-reality gap of any market this week (+0.1%), making it the single best-predicted asset class in the AI Council dataset.

On Bitcoin, the nationality split is blurring — 2 of 5 Chinese AIs turned bearish this week, the first time since September 2026, possibly reflecting new Chinese regulatory headlines.

What Qwen noticed

The AI Council's consensus Brier score against the crowd is -0.29 over 15 sessions, showing it is currently less accurate than the prediction market crowd (76.0% vs 78.7%).

Despite the overall gap between US and Chinese models on commodities like WTI and Brent crude oil, they show almost identical average probabilities for equities like the Nasdaq-100 (46% each).

Bitcoin is treated as a high-beta tech stock rather than digital gold during this selloff, as it fell with equities instead of rallying on fear when the VIX spiked.
