- Audi defends plans for a $4 billion Georgia plant amid VW restructuring, tariffs
Audi CEO Gernot Dollner defended the carmaker's plan for a $4 billion plant in Georgia, its first in the U.S., which President Donald Trump announced at a Georgia rally on Saturday. Dollner said the move aims to grow sales and reduce exposure to U.S. tariffs, and that it does not take work away from Germany, which remains the backbone of the brand. The site followed more than 70 locations evaluated over many months and is expected to begin production of the Q7, Q8 and Q9 in the early 2030s, with capacity of up to 200,000 vehicles a year, roughly half to be exported. The announcement comes as parent Volkswagen plans to cut 50,000 jobs and close four German plants, including an Audi facility, between 2031 and 2034. U.S. tariffs cost Audi 1.2 billion euros ($1.4 billion) last year, and tariffs on German vehicles are now 15%, down from 25%.

- Nvidia to invest $3 bln in Meta share offering as part of bigger AI partnership
Nvidia said it will invest $3 billion in Meta Platforms' recent equity offering as part of an expanded partnership focused on Meta's Muse AI models. The companies will work together to improve inference and training performance for Muse, while Meta plans to expand its use of Nvidia infrastructure in its data centers, including Vera Rubin and Vera CPUs to power AI agents, and deploy Nvidia networking technology. The move follows positive user response to Muse agents, with the Muse agent app becoming one of the most downloaded apps within a week of launch. Separately, Meta upsized its common stock offering to $25 billion from $22.5 billion, and with a depository share offering, the total could reach $37.5 billion, priced at $625 per common share and $50 per depository share. The raise is aimed mainly at funding Meta's AI infrastructure buildout, and Meta had also said it plans a separate $60 billion non-voting share offering in 2027.
- Just raised $40 billion to buy GPUs, Elon Musk warns more than 200 AI companies face being wiped out: Money is the cause
Elon Musk said SpaceX has raised $40 billion to buy AI chips, while warning that more than 200 neocloud companies could be forced out or merged because of difficulty accessing borrowed capital. He explained that SpaceX can still borrow thanks to its investment-grade credit rating and revenue from Starlink and rocket launch services; the debt mainly funds GPU purchases, expected to be delivered in Q1 and Q2 2027. The article notes that the cost of insuring against default for some neocloud firms has risen recently, while tenants are demanding penalties of over $5 million per day if developers fail to deliver power and infrastructure on time, up sharply from about $1 million at the start of the year. CoreWeave's unsecured bond yield was cited at around 15%. Musk also said some companies will survive the difficulties, though not many.
- NVIDIA and Meta to Expand Collaboration on Muse and Muse Family of Models Amid Robust Growth
NVIDIA and Meta announced they will expand their partnership on Muse and the Muse family of models to improve inference and training performance, reflecting strong demand for AI agents. The companies will also consider collaboration on the NVIDIA OpenShell Reference Architecture and NVIDIA Sentry for safe deployment and monitoring of agent behavior. Meta plans to expand its deployment of NVIDIA infrastructure, including Vera Rubin and Vera CPUs, along with Spectrum-X Ethernet networking and BlueField-4. NVIDIA will also invest $3 billion in Meta's equity offering.
- Investors: Oct. 28 Will Be an Important Day for the Stock Market. Here's Why.
Several key events this week include earnings reports from Amazon and Microsoft and the Federal Reserve meeting on October 28. The Fed raised its target federal funds rate to 3.75% to 4% in September, its first increase in three years, but Chairman Kevin Warsh's decision not to provide forward guidance leaves the market without clear direction. CME FedWatch shows a 90.6% probability that rates stay unchanged, though September CPI rose 3.7% year on year, which could change expectations. If the Fed holds rates steady, the market may see minimal reaction, but another hike could trigger a sharper negative response given it would be higher and unexpected.

- Solana bug reports now cost 1 SOL as AI floods security teams with spam
Firedancer, the Solana software developed by Jump Crypto, now requires researchers to permanently burn 1 SOL (about $100) for each bug report; the cost is nonrefundable even if a report is invalid or duplicates an earlier finding, and reports submitted without a burn are ineligible for rewards. The change follows a monthlong $1 million audit competition that drew 809 reports from 162 researchers but produced only 127 unique security findings, with nearly half of valid submissions duplicating earlier reports. Jump believes AI helped discover or write nearly every submission, which slowed engineers' validation work. To offset this, Jump is temporarily doubling payouts, and tripling them for Alpenglow, Solana's new voting system, where critical findings can qualify for up to $300,000.
- VinaCapital investor group cuts Kido stake below 6%
VinaCapital's fund management company reported that Liva Holdings Limited sold 1.9 million KDC shares in the October 22, 2026 session, cutting its stake from 5.16% to 4.47% of Kido's charter capital. Including Vina QSR Limited, which holds over 2.6 million shares (0.95%), the group's combined stake fell from 6.11% to 5.42%. Separately, Kido completed two share transfers in Thực phẩm Đông lạnh Kido (now Nuti KD) and, as of September 18, 2026, held only 14.7% of its charter capital, so Nuti KD is no longer an associate of KDC. Shareholders also approved canceling contracts that transferred 34 trademarks, including Merino and Celano, and Kido will complete procedures to restore ownership of these trademarks to Thực phẩm Đông lạnh Kido.

- Opinion: UK bond investors want spending cuts. John Healey's first Budget may disappoint
An opinion piece says Chancellor John Healey has handled preparation of his first budget with far less rumor than predecessor Rachel Reeves, but major challenges remain. Fiscal headroom has shrunk from £24 billion ($32 billion) to as little as £10 billion because of higher government borrowing costs, while Prime Minister Andy Burnham has made several spending commitments, the latest a £432-million plan to tackle homelessness. Healey must explain how to fund tax cuts, including extended fuel duty relief that could cost over £2 billion, and how to lift defense spending to 3% of GDP by the end of the decade, while tax increases targeting banks and gambling firms remain likely. The Financial Times reported that the National Wealth Fund and British Business Bank will be handed £20.4 billion, a move that exploits a loophole in fiscal rules. National debt has just risen above £3 trillion, and harder decisions on youth unemployment and welfare spending will not be published until later this year.
- Global oil and gas industry expected to spend $7.5 billion on AI, how is FPT taking part?
FPT is applying AI to core oilfield operations, starting with cement plugging of wells, where a services group that had to run up to 17,000 experiments a month now uses an FPT-built model trained on about 9 million cleaned records. The model raised prediction accuracy from about 60% to 79%, averages 1.6 seconds per prediction, and screens out low-probability formulas to reduce physical testing. In safety, FPT and an Asian oil and gas client deployed Vision AI to flag rule violations from site cameras; the company estimates it avoided 15 potentially fatal incidents and 110 injury incidents, about $2.54 million in losses. According to The Business Research Company, the global AI market in oil and gas is expected to reach $4.55 billion in 2026 and $7.51 billion by 2030.
- HOSE updates list of stocks ineligible for margin trading at end of October
HOSE updated its list of 67 stocks and fund certificates ineligible for margin trading as of October 26, 2026, adding DSH of Đông Sơn Holdings because it has been listed for less than six months. DSH listed 35 million shares on HOSE on October 26, with total listed value of 350 billion VND at par, a reference price of 11,900 VND per share in its first session, and a ±20% price band. Other codes remain on the list due to warning or control status, trading restrictions, negative after-tax profit attributable to parent shareholders in the 2026 half-year reviewed statements, or half-year review reports lacking an unqualified opinion.
