- Some Observations on the AI Economy & Monetary Policy - Remarks by Mr Edward S . Robinson , Deputy Managing Director ( Economic Policy ) & Chief Economist , Monetary Authority of Singapore , at the 2026 Beijing Financial Street Forum on 20 October...
A speech by Edward S. Robinson, Deputy Managing Director and Chief Economist of the Monetary Authority of Singapore, argues that the AI investment boom is a major force sustaining global demand, while productivity gains verified from the technology remain limited so far. He describes an era of more frequent and overlapping shocks, including the Middle East conflict that began in end-February and became a global energy shock, which test economies' capacity to absorb disruptions. Despite this, world merchandise trade is estimated to have grown 2.4% in 2025 as firms diversified sourcing, and AI-driven electronics account for over 70% of Asia's export growth this year. The speech says strength in AI-producing sectors mainly reflects capital accumulation and higher capital utilisation rather than broad total factor productivity gains. Drawing on the history of electrification, it suggests economy-wide productivity benefits take time and depend on the breadth of adoption, complementary investment in skills and infrastructure, and organisational change.

- UPS Yields 6.7% After Firing Amazon. Here's Whether the Dividend Survives 2027.
UPS shares yield 6.7% as of October 16. The company has moved away from high-volume, low-margin Amazon deliveries and froze its dividend earlier this year, ending a 16-year streak of increases. The article says the payout will likely remain frozen through 2026 and 2027, citing competition from 10- and 30-year Treasury yields above 5% and other industrial dividend payers, but calls the dividend's safety questionable: UPS generated $5.47 billion in free cash flow in 2025, with $5.4 billion going to dividends, and free cash flow is projected to fall to $5.05 billion in 2026 and $5.01 billion in 2027, with the dividend absorbing about 98% of 2026 free cash flow. Rising competition and high fuel prices add pressure, and the article suggests investors may find more safety in the industrial sector.

X-Energy (NasdaqGS:XE), American Electric Power and Amazon agreed to assess a 960 MW advanced nuclear project in Indiana using Xe-100 reactors, on a former coal plant site.
