- Cattle futures slip on inflation worries and thin cash trade - CME
CME lean hog futures fell for the seventh time in eight sessions and hit contract lows as pork demand weakened, while cash pork prices dropped to their lowest since April 2023. September CPI rose 3.7% year over year, driven largely by soaring energy costs, and Allendale's Rich Nelson said consumers are cutting back on pork. December lean hogs settled 1.950 cents lower at 66.075 cents per pound, and the wholesale cash pork cutout fell $1.23 to $79.45 per hundredweight, down 23% from a year ago. December live cattle ended down 1.250 cents at 225.125 cents per pound, and November feeders fell 2.575 cents to 338.450 cents, with tight cattle supplies keeping markets range-bound.

- Silver price today, Wednesday, October 21, 2026: Silver prices showing more resilience than gold
Silver December futures opened at $58.15 per ounce on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, up 0.3% from Tuesday's open, but had slipped to $57.68 by 7:00 a.m. ET. Compared with a week earlier, the opening price was up 2.5%; it was down 12.5% from a month earlier and up 14.5% from a year earlier. The article says silver is in a better position than gold this morning, as gold's open was lower than its level one week, one month and one year earlier. It notes that silver's industrial demand, used in solar panels, electronics and medical devices, can make its prices move more sharply than gold, which is viewed as a store of value.
- Brent could hit USD 140 in 2027 on Gulf supply risks , extreme weather conditions : Report
Goldman Sachs warns that geopolitical conflicts, energy and agricultural supply disruptions, and extreme weather could keep commodity prices volatile into 2027. Its base case sees Brent and European gas falling to $90/bbl and EUR70/MWh by end-2026 as Middle Eastern supply recovers. If Gulf output stays 5 million barrels per day below February 2026 levels, Brent could rally to $140 in early 2027 and average about $125/bbl that year, while European gas could reach EUR150/MWh with a colder winter. The bank also expects copper to average $15,400 per tonne and gold to reach $5,400 per ounce by end-2027, while the Bloomberg Commodity Index has returned 36% year-to-date.

- Meta’s (NASDAQ:META) Q3 2026 sales top estimates, quarterly revenue guidance slightly exceeds expectations
Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) reported Q3 revenue of $64.6 billion, up 26.1% year on year and about 2% above estimates. Revenue guidance for the Q4 midpoint is $74.5 billion, 1.2% above analyst expectations. GAAP EPS of $3.83 was 29.9% below consensus, due to a $9.89 billion charge tied to an agreement with 52 attorneys general to resolve teen mental health litigation, with payments of up to about $18.59 billion; excluding it, EPS would have been $7.40. Operating margin fell to 20.1% from 40.1%, and free cash flow was -$2.12 billion. Daily active people reached 3.64 billion, up 100 million year on year.
- A SpaceX-Tesla megamerger could benefit both companies and Elon Musk's personal fortune
SpaceX shares rose 8% and Tesla 3.5% after Elon Musk said each company had formed special committees to discuss a possible combination. At current market values, the merged company would be worth about $3.5 trillion, the largest deal ever, and Musk argues it makes sense because both businesses rely heavily on artificial intelligence. Musk owns 11% of SpaceX and 19% of Tesla, and a change-in-control provision in Tesla's pay plan could treat many performance targets as met in a merger, which would make him richer. Although the shares are very expensive by most measures, most analysts still call them a bargain, and many work for banks hoping to win Musk's business. Democrats have called for investigations into SpaceX's federal contracts and could scuttle plans if they win big in next month's midterm elections.
- Netflix Is Down 38% Since Completing Its 10-For-1 Stock Split. Here's Why the Sell-Off Is Worsening After Its Latest Earnings.
Netflix shares are down 37.9% since the 10-for-1 stock split was completed on November 17, 2025, as of the October 20 close. After its third-quarter 2026 report, the stock fell 5.9% to $64.62 in after-hours trading, which would mark a new two-year low. Revenue rose 11.8% year over year, and operating margin widened from 28.2% to 34.6%, but the company now expects $2.7 billion in full-year ad revenue, down from $3 billion, due to a slower rollout of ad product capabilities. Its 2026 revenue forecast of $51.1 billion sits 0.2% below the prior midpoint, and the article also points to competition from YouTube, a third price increase in under three years, and a valuation of 17 times 2027 earnings. Netflix ended the quarter with $8.19 billion in cash against $12.66 billion in long-term debt.
- Where Will Novo Stock Be in 10 Years?
Novo, a Denmark-based pharmaceutical company, reached an all-time high in 2024 but has since faced clinical and commercial setbacks and lost substantial market value over the past two years. Its diabetes products, including Ozempic and Rybelsus, and its obesity drug Wegovy remain core, but U.S. patents on the active ingredient in these drugs expire in 2032, potentially opening the door to cheaper generics. Near-term catalysts include CagriSema, which could be approved by year-end and combines semaglutide with cagrilintide, though it fell short of the 25% mean weight loss Novo had hoped for. The pipeline also includes amycretin, UBT251, and several oral weight loss candidates. The author sees the pipeline as deep but warns of rising competition from dozens of weight-loss drugs, slower market growth, and possible U.S. drug price negotiations.

- Amazon logistics automation offers long-term margin gains, Jefferies says
Jefferies says Amazon's warehouse automation and expanding logistics network could lift retail margins long term by reducing labour dependence. Amazon has deployed over 1 million robots, but only 40% to 45% of its US small-sortable fulfillment centers are highly automated, leaving room for growth. A US$1 hourly wage rise would add about US$1.1 billion to costs, and Amazon has around US$27 billion of visible capex planned for automation and delivery. Jefferies sees third-party parcel delivery as a growth area, with US delivery stations possibly growing from about 575 to 950 by 2030 and early trials showing 20% to 25% savings for shippers. Grocery is harder given US$10 to US$12 delivery cost per order, though the broker sees potential in Amazon's planned Illinois hybrid retail concept expected in 2028.
