- China issues guideline to boost financial support for international sci - tech innovation centers
On October 19, China issued a guideline to strengthen financial support for building international science and technology centers in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Shanghai's Yangtze River Delta, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Released by the People's Bank of China with ten other departments, it targets a full-chain financial service system for tech innovation by 2030, a notable increase in direct financing, and integrated financial services across the three regions. Measures include easing foreign exchange rules for qualified foreign limited partners (QFLP) and simplifying cross-border fund management for multinational tech firms and Chinese companies funding overseas R&D. Each region has its own priorities, and the document stresses guarding against systemic financial risk.
- China financial regulators roll out targeted policies at key financial forum, reaffirm opening-up
The Financial Street Forum (FSF) 2026 opened in Beijing with top financial regulators unveiling targeted policies to expand financial opening-up, including a pilot allowing overseas financial institutions to trade yuan in China's interbank foreign exchange market. PBC Governor Pan Gongsheng said the central bank will set up a liquidity backstop for large redemptions at non-bank financial institutions and expand eligibility for the Standing Lending Facility. Deputy Governor Zhu Hexin said a package of incremental measures will soon support enterprises' international cooperation and facilitate current account transactions. Officials reiterated opening-up commitments, while Tian Lihui of Nankai University said the key signal is upgrading opening-up toward the institutional level, with the focus shifting to whether foreign capital can stay after entry.
- Bank Indonesia faces mounting pressure to hike after MSCI threat fuels market rout
Bank Indonesia faces pressure to raise rates at Wednesday's meeting after MSCI said it may move Indonesia to standalone status from emerging-market status, triggering a selloff in stocks and the rupiah. Citibank now expects a 50 basis-point hike to 6.25%, while Capital Economics and Permata Bank expect 25 basis points to 6%, from the current 5.75%. The rupiah weakened to 18,030 per dollar, near its June record low and down about 8% this year. Permata's chief economist Josua Pardede estimates foreign investors have net sold about $5 billion of Indonesian stocks this year, and a downgrade could bring $3 billion to $5 billion in passive outflows plus $15 billion in actively managed money under review. He warns that lasting doubts about market integrity could raise Indonesia's cost of capital.

- Bangkok Post - Central bankers eye higher rates as AI boom fuels scramble for cash
The AI investment boom is fueling a global scramble for money, prompting central bankers at the IMF and World Bank meetings in Bangkok to consider that interest rates may stay higher for longer. Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh called it a shock that hits demand before supply, and warned the transition could be "very bumpy." G20 officials said a slight reassessment of AI earnings expectations could trigger sharp market turmoil, as this week's Asian tech selloff showed. Neutral rates (R-star) may be rising, and sovereign bond yields in many countries have reached levels not seen since before the global financial crisis, especially in the euro zone and France. Economists expect the Bank of England to raise rates on Nov 5, while markets have priced in another move by the ECB and Fed in December after both raised rates in September.

- Bitcoin ETFs just saw their biggest day in a month thanks entirely to BlackRock
U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs took in $526.6 million on Monday, the largest daily net inflow in nearly a month, driven entirely by BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which pulled in $665.2 million, its biggest daily inflow since Oct. 7 last year, according to SoSoValue data. Fidelity's FBTC lost $83.6 million and Grayscale's GBTC shed $54.9 million, while the remaining funds recorded no net flows. The inflow more than erased last week's $228.5 million of withdrawals, but funds remain about $90.5 million in net outflows for October, according to CoinDesk calculations. Ether funds moved the opposite way, losing $103.3 million in their fourth consecutive session of outflows, with BlackRock's ETHA accounting for $95.4 million of that.
- A Big4 bank cut deposit rates in the morning, then raised them again in the afternoon
VietinBank cut its deposit rates for terms of 6 months and longer on the morning of Oct. 20, then restored them to pre-adjustment levels by the afternoon. Its afternoon rate board showed 3.5% per year for 6 to under 12 months, 5.9% for 12 to under 24 months and 6% for 24 months and longer, versus 3%, 5.4% and 5.5% in the morning. Rates for terms under 6 months stayed unchanged, including 2.1% for 1 to under 3 months and 2.4% for 3 to under 6 months. The move came as banks followed the State Bank of Vietnam's guidance to cut deposit rates by at least 0.5 percentage points for terms of 6 months and longer, and Vietcombank and Agribank were among those reducing rates.
- IVV vs. SPY: Which S&P 500 ETF Is the Better Buy for Long-Term Investors?
The article compares two ETFs that track the S&P 500, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), which have nearly identical holdings. The main difference is the expense ratio: IVV charges 0.03% a year, one-third of SPY's 0.09%, and its distribution yield is about 1.1% versus 1% for SPY. SPY's high liquidity remains valuable for active traders. The article concludes that IVV is the better choice for long-term investors, since lower costs can compound over time.
- Warren Buffett Is Issuing a Stark Warning About the Stock Market. Here's What History Says Comes Next.
Warren Buffett has warned that investors are taking on too much risk, likening the market to 'a church with a casino attached' and saying people have never been in a more gambling mood. The article points to the S&P 500 Shiller CAPE Ratio, which has stayed above 40 since May of this year; historically, the only other time it held above that level for months was during the dot-com bubble, when it peaked around 44 before the bear market began in March 2000. The article notes that 40 is not an automatic trigger for a downturn, and no metric can predict timing. It suggests investors focus on quality stocks with solid fundamentals and be ready to hold them for at least a few years.
- Early Uber Investor Jason Calacanis Predicts Waymo Could Buy Lucid Or Rivian — Calls Its Chinese-Car Optics ‘Really Bad’
Early Uber investor Jason Calacanis predicts Waymo will buy Lucid Group (LCID) or Rivian Automotive (RIVN), arguing that its reliance on Chinese-made Zeekr vehicles creates cost and reputational problems. He says the arrangement is technically not illegal today, but Waymo would need to pay a tariff of over 100%, and it has drawn national-security concerns on Capitol Hill. According to Semafor, Waymo aims to grow its fleet from about 4,000 vehicles to 8,000 by the end of 2026 and 20,000 by the end of 2027, after closing a $5 billion term loan and a $16 billion equity raise this year. Uber has committed to buying at least 35,000 Lucid vehicles, while its Rivian deal starts with 10,000 autonomous R2 SUVs, with rides expected to begin in 2028. Calacanis, who recently bought small stakes in Lucid, Rivian, WeRide (WRD) and Pony.ai (PONY), expects consolidation in the autonomous-driving sector within 24 months.
