Health authorities in the Mexican state of Yucatán have ordered people to stay out of the water at 6 man-made lakes in Mérida after detecting amoebae that can cause brain inflammation, following a September death from primary amoebic meningoencephalitis at a lake in a commercial area. Of 9 lakes tested, 6 were positive, including those at Plaza La Isla, Cabo Norte, the Centenario zoo, Gran Parque La Plancha and the Western Ecological Park, while 3 others tested negative. Barriers have been installed, and nearby public parks and zoos remain open, while lake managers are cleaning and treating the water with help from UADY and Cinvestav experts. Officials say the amoeba enters the body through the nose and is not spread from person to person or by drinking water.

- Russia to Ban Direct Person - to - Person Crypto Trades in July 2027
The Central Bank of Russia says Russian citizens will not be allowed to buy or sell crypto directly without state-regulated intermediaries starting next summer, according to FAQ guidance. Peer-to-peer crypto transactions between individuals will be removed from the list of legal operations after July 2027, and media note people may try to bypass the ban by disguising sales as gifts or debt repayments. Under a law signed by Vladimir Putin, crypto can only be traded through regulated institutions such as exchanges, brokers, asset managers and digital depositories, with retail purchases capped at 300,000 rubles ($3,690) per year through each intermediary.

- AI Agents Could Pose New Risks to Banks: US, European Regulators Step Up Scrutiny of AI Safeguards, Chinese Models and Cybersecurity: Report
According to Reuters, the Federal Reserve, OCC and FDIC are asking U.S. lenders about advanced AI systems and their safeguards, including whether they use Chinese-developed models, deploy autonomous AI agents for cyber defense, and can intervene when systems operate with limited human direction. In Europe, the Bank of England and the European Central Bank are pressing banks to improve recovery plans in case AI-related disruptions affect financial markets, though supervisors are still collecting information and have not set prescriptive requirements. The push follows growing concern among financial executives about AI-driven cyberattacks and operational failures. It also comes after CrowdStrike said a suspected individual in Guangdong, China, may be linked to a campaign targeting at least nine South Korean banks using AI coding tools, with Shinhan Bank reporting compromised data for about 25,000 customers and KB Kookmin Bank a leak affecting 119 customers.
- If I Could Only Own 1 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock Through the Next Bubble Scare, It Would Be This One
The author says Iren (IREN) is the AI stock he would hold through the next bubble scare, and that he is buying it now. The author argues that many bearish concerns about Iren and the neocloud sector are actually bullish: Gartner projects 80% of neoclouds will stop operating independently by 2030, which would make Iren's capacity more valuable, while CoreWeave's corporate bond yields of 15% reflect its weaker balance sheet, with a current ratio of 0.46 versus Iren's 3.55. Iren has a 5.8-gigawatt pipeline, customer prepayments covering 45% to 55% of GPU capital expenditures, and expects to deliver 300 megawatts in 2026 and 800 megawatts by the end of 2027. Earnings from Meta, Tesla, Alphabet, Microsoft and Amazon later this month should show whether AI spending keeps rising.
- Asia FX ticks higher; yuan hits 4-yr high after China Q3 GDP beat
Asian currencies traded flat to slightly higher on Monday while the dollar held steady after a 0.4% weekly fall that ended a four-week winning streak. The yuan reached its strongest level since July 2022, with onshore USD/CNY down 0.1% to 6.6816, after China's third-quarter GDP grew 4.5% year on year, beating the 4.4% forecast. September industrial output rose 5.5% and retail sales 1.1%, but property investment fell 20.6% in the first nine months and fixed-asset investment dropped 7.2%, which could limit the yuan's gains. The yen was near 158 per dollar amid intervention fears, while the rupee posted its strongest weekly performance in nearly four years after Reserve Bank of India measures to curb dollar demand. The Australian dollar gained 0.4% and the won strengthened 0.2% against the dollar.

- Netflix stock is down roughly 25% in 2026 as Q3 earnings loom
Netflix (NFLX) reports third-quarter results after the bell on Tuesday, with the stock down more than 25% this year and closing Friday near $70, versus $93.76 at the end of 2025. Investors are worried about slowing viewership, competition from YouTube, and live sports moving to Amazon Prime Video and HBO Max. Last week Netflix cut about 6% of its workforce (roughly 1,000 employees) and named Peter Rice its new chief content officer, and five firms lowered price targets in October. Analysts expect EPS of $0.82 on revenue of $12.88 billion, up about 12% from a year earlier, in line with Netflix's own forecast. KeyBanc's Justin Patterson wants more content investment, product changes, expense cuts and a possible first-ever dividend.
- Cleveland-Cliffs Jumps 10% on Strongest Quarter in Three Years; Nucor and Steel Dynamics Edge Higher
Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) rose 10% to $13.29 after reporting third-quarter adjusted EBITDA of $612 million, beating its $575 million guidance and up sharply from $143 million a year earlier. Revenue of $5.61 billion missed the $5.72 billion expected, though sales rose 18.6% year over year on a higher average net selling price of $1,177 per ton and larger shipments. Management said imports remain well below historical levels, but it indefinitely idled the galvanizing lines at its Canadian unit Stelco due to oversupply. The company guided to about $715 million of adjusted EBITDA in Q4 and said 2027 adjusted EBITDA should exceed $4 billion based on current index price forecasts. Its target is to bring net debt to EBITDA below 2.5x by mid-2027.
- Tech rebounds as semiconductor stocks jump: AlphaCheck
Stocks were mostly higher on Monday as investors turned their focus to earnings season, with semiconductor stocks rebounding after last week's sharp sell-off. The Tech sector (XLK) rose, led by Nvidia (NVDA), AMD (AMD), Micron (MU) and SK Hynix (SKHY). Intel (INTC) also jumped after JPMorgan analysts upgraded the stock, while CoreWeave (CRWV), hammered last week, rebounded on a Goldman Sachs upgrade.

- AI capex may be Meta's biggest earnings test
Meta Platforms (META) reports third-quarter earnings after the close on Wednesday, alongside a wave of Big Tech peers. The GAAP EPS estimate is $3.54, though that figure may be messy because a legal settlement will be included and analysts differ on how it will be accounted for. Options imply a 3.2% move in either direction, the smallest since the fourth-quarter report before last. Estimates for next year's capex vary widely: Wedbush near $250 billion, Evercore ISI $210 billion, Bank of America $205 billion and Dan Ives around $194 billion. Most analysts say that spending is acceptable if Meta provides a Muse roadmap and confidence it can monetize it, and the stock is up about seven and a half percent year to date.
