- Airline industry braces for years of turbulence
Airline executives told the Financial Times that fuel prices surging after the Iran war could become the new normal, forcing carriers to keep raising fares and possibly scale back growth plans or cut fleets. TAP Air Portugal's CEO Luís Rodrigues expects three to five difficult years because pricing power is limited. So far demand holds up: OAG estimates 2.3 billion bookings in the first half, up 1% year on year, even as fares rose. Executives worry that fuel-driven inflation will erode household purchasing power, and many carriers plan further fare hikes as fuel hedges expire. Abra's CEO Adrian Neuhauser said the industry could end up smaller than it otherwise would, while SunExpress's Marcus Schnabel said AI is 'not free' and must compete with aircraft purchases for capital.

- VN-Index gains nearly 47 points
VN-Index rose nearly 47 points to 1,738, its strongest session in half a year, as domestic and foreign investors bought the dip after the RSI fell into oversold territory. On the HCMC exchange, 230 stocks advanced and 16 hit the ceiling price, with real estate leading and Vingroup stocks VIC, VHM and VRE all rising to their daily limit; VIC alone contributed 23.7 points. Trading value reached VND 20,300 billion, the highest in two weeks, and foreign investors turned to net buying after 20 consecutive sessions of selling, buying about VND 2,500 billion and selling about VND 2,300 billion. Analysts said lower deposit rates set by the State Bank could support sentiment, but a clearer improvement in liquidity is needed to confirm a sustained trend reversal.

- Nvidia's Jensen Huang wants to build AI factories in weeks, not months
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, speaking at Nvidia GTC Berlin, said the new DGX Pod is designed to build AI factories faster and more cheaply, potentially cutting deployment from months to weeks. He said a gigawatt of data center costs about $50 billion, and the 4 to 6 months from shipping components to operation could be shortened by 3 to 4 months if more manufacturing happens in the supply chain, reducing idle cash. Huang argued this would make financing easier because lenders would have more certainty about costs and when revenue starts, which matters amid market volatility over neocloud companies. He said demand is very strong, citing SpaceX, CoreWeave, Nebius and Nscale, and that the large capital tied up before revenue is the key challenge to solve.

- Supermicro Brings NVIDIA Aerial RAN Computer Solutions to the Network Edge with Nokia to Enable Low-latency AI Services
Super Micro Computer (SMCI) is working with Nokia to deploy AI-RAN from distributed cell sites to centralized network hubs, combining Nokia's RAN technology, the NVIDIA Aerial RAN Computer platform, and Supermicro infrastructure. The solution lets radio and AI workloads share the same infrastructure, supporting low-latency applications such as voice AI, vision AI, and physical AI. The companies say it can improve spectral efficiency, automate network operations, and optimize energy use, with a software-driven path toward AI-native 6G. Supermicro's dual-node ARC-Pro, with an NVIDIA Grace C1 CPU and RTX PRO 4500 GPU per node, delivers up to 1.6 PFLOPS of FP4 AI performance.
- Tesla and SpaceX Just Formed Special Committees to Weigh a Merger
Elon Musk said on SpaceX's October 20, 2026 earnings call that both companies have formed special committees of independent directors to study a possible merger, and he cannot join those talks because he runs both firms. He said a deal is not guaranteed, the committees have not agreed on terms, and Tesla would need approval from 50% of all shares, which he called a high hurdle. Tesla closed at $373.71 and SpaceX at $147.79, but no price or exchange ratio has been disclosed. The article also points to Tesla's weak standalone results, including Q2 non-GAAP EPS of $0.33 against a $0.5367 estimate, and says the next concrete signal would be an 8-K filing naming committee members, advisors or terms.
- Musk backs SpaceX-Tesla merger idea as both boards form special committees
Musk said on SpaceX's third-quarter earnings call that he thinks a SpaceX-Tesla merger would be a good idea, and that both companies have formed special committees of independent directors at shareholders' request. He cannot join those talks as a conflicted party, and he stressed a merger is not a certainty. Barclays analyst Dan Levy said a tie-up has become the consensus expectation, and that Tesla's annual meeting, which must be held by Dec. 6, is the appropriate venue for a shareholder vote, though a delayed announcement could push a deal out 6 to 12 months. At values of about $2.1 trillion for SpaceX and $1.5 trillion for Tesla, Levy estimated Musk would own about 37% of the combined company and 56% of its vote, and each Tesla share would be worth about 0.7 SpaceX shares before any premium.
