- Asian shares wobble as tech rout boosts bonds, dents rate hike bets - Markets
Asian shares fell as concerns over the huge funding needs of AI hit tech stocks, triggering the biggest daily rally in Treasuries in over three years as investors moved into safe-haven bonds. Markets also sharply pared expectations of further Fed tightening, with the implied probability of a December hike falling to 85%, even as Brent hit a five-month high of $114 a barrel. MSCI's Asia-Pacific index excluding Japan fell 0.3%, its fourth straight weekly loss, while Japan's Nikkei dropped 1.3% and South Korea's KOSPI fell 1.7%. On Wall Street, the Nasdaq slid more than 2% as Meta shares lost nearly 8% after posting its first cash outflow in more than a decade, and Tesla fell 3.1% after cutting its 2026 capital spending plans. The 10-year Treasury yield fell more than 19 basis points before steadying at 4.9591%, back below 5%.
- Asia FX subdued, dollar weakens after bond rally; rupee set for 2% weekly jump
The US Dollar Index slipped to around 101.982 after retreating from an 18-month high, as a rally in US Treasuries pushed the 10-year yield down to about 5.09%, its lowest since Sept. 23. Most Asian currencies were largely steady, with the yen set for a 0.3% weekly gain against the dollar and the won headed for a 0.2% weekly fall. The Indian rupee stood out, with USD/INR below 95 and set for a 1.9% weekly gain after nearing record lows near 97 last week, as the RBI tightened rules on speculative dollar demand and let state oil firms buy dollars directly. These measures have, however, disrupted liquidity in the rupee forward market. Markets priced roughly 28% odds of a Fed rate hike this month and 66% for December, according to CME FedWatch.
- Dollar Pressured by Lower T-Note Yields
The dollar index (DXY00) fell to a 1-week low on Thursday and closed down 0.49%. The 10-year T-note yield dropped to a 3-week low of 5.035%, narrowing the dollar's interest-rate differentials. Dovish comments from the San Francisco Fed also weighed on the currency.

- Treasuries Rallied as Tech Slid , and the Crowded Bet Against Bonds Felt It
Last week, the US 10-year Treasury yield fell about 17 basis points while the Nasdaq 100 dropped 5.5%, the largest same-week declines in both since the April 2025 tariff turmoil, according to Bloomberg. The move caught investors who had heavily bet on a deeper bond slump after 10-year yields climbed for seven months to their highest levels in more than two decades. A sell-off in AI-linked tech stocks triggered the rally, and trend-following commodity trading advisers exited their bearish Treasury futures positions. Traders had at one point priced about a 50% chance of a Fed rate hike in October and still expect one increase by year-end and another in 2027. Meanwhile, investment-grade companies, led by megacap technology, have sold about $1.7 trillion of bonds this year, up 29% from a year earlier.
- Tech Stock Sell-Off: 1 Unstoppable ETF to Buy on the Dip in 2026
As rising interest rates and Treasury yields draw investors toward low-risk fixed-income assets like CDs and T-bills, AI-boosted tech stocks could pull back sharply. The article suggests investors consider a broad tech ETF rather than betting on one stock, and highlights the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ), which passively tracks the Nasdaq-100, made up of the 100 largest non-financial stocks in the Nasdaq Composite. Its top holdings include Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft, and it charges a 0.18% expense ratio versus an average of 0.44% for actively managed ETFs. The article notes QQQ returned 549% over the past ten years versus 324% for the S&P 500, though past performance never guarantees future gains.

Latest news
- Cardano holders are being asked to bet $5 million on copper hitting a new record
Toto Finance is asking Cardano's treasury for 22 million ADA, about $5 million, to buy and tokenize copper, with voting closing Nov. 15. About two-thirds of the budget would buy copper stored in a COMEX-approved warehouse for 18 to 24 months before sale, while the rest covers storage, insurance, audits and Toto's work. If the full budget is spent and ADA's dollar price stays unchanged, copper would need to rise about 49.4% for the treasury to recover its investment, and there is no guarantee the treasury gets its original ADA back. Toto could receive up to 3.36 million ADA, roughly 15% of the request, and would keep its commercial rights to its tokenized-copper business. The proposal would use just over half of Cardano's remaining withdrawal allowance, which would not be replenished under existing rules.
- Bitcoin Core changes security policy as AI makes bugs easier to find
Bitcoin Core is changing its security disclosure policy because large language models have made some flaws easy to rediscover, so long embargoes offer little protection. Under the new policy, vulnerabilities deemed easily discoverable will be fixed as soon as possible across all maintained major versions, with security advisories published alongside the updates. Other flaws will follow severity-based schedules: low-severity bugs will be disclosed two weeks after the fix is released, while medium and high-severity bugs will be disclosed two weeks after the last affected release reaches End of Life, typically a year after the fix. The change follows a volunteer Bitcoin Red Team report of nearly 5,000 potential issues across 390 projects in August, though only about a fifth had been reproduced at that point.
- Asia FX steadies as oil surge weighs on risk appetite, yen holds gains
Asian currencies and the U.S. dollar were largely subdued on Friday as investors weighed rising energy costs and geopolitical tensions, while the yen held its gains after a safe-haven rally tied to concerns over global growth and tech valuations. The U.S. Dollar Index was flat at 101.60 by 03:33 GMT, near a three-week low and on track for a second straight weekly loss. USD/JPY edged up 0.1% to 156.90 after a nearly 1% drop in the previous session, as the yen reached its highest level in more than a month. Brent crude near $114 a barrel, after a 4% jump on Thursday following attacks in Saudi Arabia, raises inflation risks for energy importers such as Japan, India and South Korea. The Indian rupee extended its losses, with USD/INR up 0.3% to 95.109, while the yuan hovered near four-year lows; the Fed is expected to hold rates at 3.75%-4.00% on October 28, with ECB and BoJ decisions due on October 29 and 30.
- Securities firm with the heaviest loss in the sector in Q3 2026 revealed
APG Securities (APG) posted a pre-tax loss of nearly 108 billion VND in Q3 2026, compared with a profit of nearly 20 billion VND a year earlier, the largest loss among securities firms that have reported Q3 results. Revenue fell 21% to nearly 69 billion VND and gains from FVTPL financial assets dropped 93%, while operating expenses rose to nearly 124 billion VND, mainly due to a 119 billion VND loss on FVTPL assets. Financial expenses rose nearly 33% to 43.5 billion VND, mostly interest costs. For the first nine months, APG recorded a pre-tax loss of nearly 105 billion VND, against a profit of over 28 billion VND a year earlier, putting its 2026 pre-tax profit target of 20 billion VND under pressure.
- IonQ vs. Rigetti Computing: Which Quantum Computing Stock Is the Better Buy?
The article compares quantum computing companies IonQ (ion-based) and Rigetti Computing (superconducting). Rigetti reported Q2 revenue of $5.1 million, up from $1.8 million in 2025, but an operating loss of $28.1 million, and held $541.3 million in cash and investments; it also received a $100 million award from the U.S. Department of Commerce. IonQ posted Q2 revenue of $80.1 million and forecasts 2026 sales of $280–290 million versus $130 million in 2025, though its Q2 operating loss widened to $337.2 million from $160.6 million, and the Elisity deal involves stock valued at up to $1.3 billion. The author judges IonQ the better investment given its consistent revenue growth, says they bought IonQ shares, and notes Rigetti's price-to-sales ratio is more than six times IonQ's.
