- Amazon blocks agentic AI shopping. But Walmart is betting big that it's worth saying yes.
A Bank of America note led by Christopher Nardone, published Monday, argues Walmart stands to benefit if shoppers hand purchases to AI agents, citing its integration with multiple AI ecosystems, its own shopping assistant “Sparky” and partnerships including Meta's Muse. Walmart, Best Buy (BBY) and Ulta (ULTA) are among Muse's key partners, while some other retailers have blocked it. Amazon has blocked Muse from making purchases on its site and bars automated shopping tools, though it may not be losing much in sales since most people use AI mainly for research. Walmart's management, however, cannot say how popular shopping agents will become, and it is unclear how advertising, a growing business for Walmart, would be affected if screenless computers handle checkout.
- Stocks are driving consumption 'like never before' — and that exposes a big risk
In a note published Monday, Doug Peta, chief US investment strategist at BCA Research, argues the stock market is influencing the economy like never before. US household net worth reached over eight times disposable income at midyear, an all-time high, and the value of household equity holdings is nearly three times annual after-tax income. Peta estimates that a 10% gain in the S&P 500 over a year boosts household spending capacity as much as a 28% raise, making consumption more sensitive to equity moves. That sensitivity cuts both ways, as a future bear market could amplify spending pullbacks because households would feel vulnerable rather than wealthy.

Capital, has arranged a debt package to finance QualityHosting's acquisition of Be-Cloud, with QualityHosting being a portfolio company of PSG Equity.

- Residential electricity prices may be set by peak and off-peak hours
Vietnam's Minister of Industry and Trade, Lê Mạnh Hùng, submitted to the National Assembly on the afternoon of October 20 a draft amendment to the Electricity Law. It would allow retail electricity to be priced by peak, off-peak and normal hours where technical conditions allow, with a roadmap for applying this to residential customers. The draft also sets out a plan to eliminate cross-subsidies between customer groups and proposes incentive pricing for renewable energy, new energy and storage systems. Nguyễn Thanh Hải, chair of the National Assembly's Committee for Science, Technology and Environment, asked that the scope and roadmap for removing cross-subsidies and electricity bill support be clarified, kept separate from direct aid to poor households, and that investment risks not be shifted to the State or the public. The committee also warned that the wording requiring full recovery of costs and reasonable profit could be read as the State guaranteeing investors' financial results.

- South Korean IPO plunge deepens AI market jitters as brent tops $111
South Korean data centre company Elice (0158S0) closed at 60,500 won ($45.57) on its debut, down over 30% from its 90,500 won offer price, despite a retail offering oversubscribed more than 400 times. The IPO raised $151 million at a valuation of roughly $755 million, according to Bloomberg. The debut came as the KOSPI dropped almost 4% to 5,552, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix also falling, and CoreWeave (CRWV) slipped another 3% in U.S. pre-market trading. Investors are questioning the borrowing costs, debt levels and returns of AI infrastructure spending, while Brent crude topped $111 a barrel, its highest since May, amid Middle East supply and shipping concerns.
