Chase is launching Chase Fraud & Scam Prevention Month in November as a nationwide consumer education initiative focused on recognizing common scams and avoiding in-the-moment mistakes during the holidays. Through free workshops hosted by Chase Community Managers in all lower 48 states, plus expanded digital resources, the bank targets scams such as impersonation, package delivery phishing, gift card scams, fake online deals and fraudulent charity solicitations. Chase says it has served more than 1 million customers through its financial wellness initiatives and hosts more than 1,000 fraud and scam prevention workshops annually. Jennifer Roberts, CEO of Consumer Banking at Chase, said scammers keep adapting their tactics and the initiative provides practical guidance for safer decisions. Chase also says it works with law enforcement to share scam trends.

- US banks want to block AI agents from moving your money. Well, at least that's one good move.
Charles Schwab and JPMorgan Chase are blocking outside AI agents from taking financial actions such as moving client money, citing security risks and unclear liability if something goes wrong. Schwab CEO Rick Wurster said the firm is actively stopping unauthorized agents, including Meta's Muse, and that these blocks happen many times a week. Instead of cutting AI off entirely, Schwab plans secure connections through model context protocol (MCP) servers that would let clients' chosen AI models view permitted information, such as balances, without moving money, and it wants customers to use its own assistant, Charley. JPMorgan takes a similar approach, letting outside tools view account data while blocking them from sending money or paying bills. The moves come as US and European regulators press banks on AI agent risks.
- JPMorgan Chase is Delving Further Into National Security With $5 Billion Push
JPMorgan Chase has invested more than $5 billion in companies supporting U.S. national security and industrial capacity, roughly half its planned decade-long budget in the program's first year. Co-President Doug Petno told CNBC the pace could lead the bank to expand its original $10 billion commitment. Two known recipients are Hadrian, where JPMorgan helped lead a $1.4 billion round, and Castelion, where it joined a round of about $1 billion; those figures are total round sizes, not JPMorgan's own contributions. The bank also says it has financed and facilitated more than $230 billion for industries covered by the initiative, a figure separate from its direct investments.
- US bank stock longest losing streak since 2008 clashes with earnings picture
US bank stocks have posted their longest losing streak since the 2008 financial crisis, with the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index falling for six straight weeks and losing 11% since early September, even though the largest lenders JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C) and Wells Fargo (WFC) reported solid results. The four banks set aside $7.6 billion for credit provisions in the quarter, down about 3% from a year earlier, while actual loan losses fell 5% and lending grew nearly 10%. Credit managers are more worried, however: about 60% expect corporate defaults to rise over the next 12 months, and 85% expect wider spreads on North American junk bonds over the next three months, both sharply higher than in the prior survey. Morgan Stanley still calls bank credit conditions “benign” apart from isolated commercial weakness, while investors fear that persistently high interest rates could squeeze borrowers.
- Jamie Dimon slammed crypto. JPMorgan quietly built JPM Coin.
JPMorgan is bringing JPM Coin, a token representing dollar deposits, to Ethereum to offer it to a wider range of institutional clients. According to reporting on the bank's statement, the token supports peer-to-peer transfers across EVM networks, including Base and Ethereum. The coin was previously used on JPMorgan's private blockchain to test settling tokenized deposits and moved to Base last year. The speaker sees this as a positive sign, given the bank's long-standing skepticism toward crypto, and suggests large institutions may use both private and public networks.
- JPMorgan Picks Ethereum for JPM Coin, Citing the Network’s Liquidity and Client Use
JPMorgan is launching JPM Coin, its dollar deposit token, on Ethereum and will offer it to institutional clients there, as announced Monday and reported by Bloomberg. Emma Landriault, global head of Kinexys Labs, said Ethereum's liquidity and the fact that the bank's clients already use it drove the choice. The token targets large crypto firms that pay onchain and financial institutions active in tokenized assets, which can use it as onchain cash to settle trades or as collateral. JPM Coin debuted last year on Base, and it lets clients move dollars in seconds at any hour, whereas a transfer can otherwise take several days. JPMorgan's private Kinexys network already handles daily volume above $7 billion, the bank's payments arm handles around $12 trillion in daily payments, and Open Standard launched its OUSD stablecoin on Ethereum, Solana, Base and Tempo last month.
- JPMorgan Slashes Q3 Share Buybacks: Is Organic Growth a Better Bet?
JPMorgan sharply cut its share buybacks in the third quarter of 2026 to a net $664 million, down nearly 89% from $6.2 billion in the previous quarter, as CEO Jamie Dimon prioritised investing in the franchise and supporting clients. The bank holds about $30 billion in excess capital and is looking to invest in technology, branch expansion, commercial banking, wealth management and international operations. It ended the quarter with $304 billion in CET1 capital, a 13.9% standardised CET1 ratio and a 20% return on tangible common equity. The article notes that fewer buybacks could limit near-term earnings growth, and that the 2026 adjusted expense outlook of $108.6 billion highlights cost pressures. Citigroup repurchased about $3 billion of shares in the quarter, bringing year-to-date buybacks to $13.3 billion with $23 billion still available as of Sept. 30, 2026, while Bank of America bought back $6 billion, leaving almost $11 billion of its $40 billion authorisation, and returned $8.3 billion in total including $2.2 billion in dividends.

At the annual general meeting on October 20, Coteccons (HoSE: CTD) set fiscal 2027 targets of VND 42,000 billion in revenue and VND 1,050 billion in after-tax profit, and said it is considering expanding into residential construction for individual customers (B2C).

- 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.
- Asian shares mostly decline after AI stocks lead a rebound on Wall Street
Asian shares mostly fell in cautious trading on Tuesday after AI-related stocks rebounded on Wall Street, while other sectors stayed shaky and oil prices stayed high. Japan's Nikkei 225 slipped 0.6% to 64,512.35 in early trading, South Korea's Kospi dropped 2.8%, and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 lost 0.8%. On Wall Street, the S&P 500 rose 0.4% and the Nasdaq gained 1.1%, helped by Nvidia's 1.4% gain, while most stocks outside AI and tech fell and the Dow slipped 0.1%. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.14%, and U.S. crude rose to $103.50 a barrel and Brent to $109.47, as uncertainty about when the energy industry will return to normal after the war with Iran means oil is unlikely to ease soon.

- What Could X-Energy (XE) Gain From Its 960MW Indiana Nuclear Project?
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. Under the joint development agreement, Amazon would provide development funding and commit to a long-term power purchase. The article says the deal offers commercial validation for X-Energy's reactor platform rather than immediate financial relief, as the company, with a $4.3b market cap, reported $150.28 million in revenue, a $448.87 million loss, and a 20.2x price-to-sales ratio. The next key milestone is whether the study reaches a final investment decision for the Sullivan County site.
