CoreWeave, a provider of AI computing infrastructure, plunged more than 15% on October 14 as investors questioned whether it was borrowing too much, with debt and operating leases above $50 billion. Its senior notes maturing in 2032 briefly traded at yields near 15%, well above their original 9.625% coupon, signaling higher credit risk. Visible Alpha estimates CoreWeave's free cash flow will be negative $25 billion this year, then negative $28 billion in 2027 and $18 billion in 2028, while it held only about $6 billion in cash at the end of the second quarter. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's SpaceX, which merged with xAI and acquired Cursor, is renting out spare capacity from its Colossus data centers, with deals from Anthropic at $1.25 billion per month and Google Cloud at $920 million per month. Despite $39.4 billion in total debt as of June 30, SpaceX had roughly $100 billion in cash at the end of the second quarter, which suggests it has more financial flexibility than CoreWeave.

Japan's Nikkei 225 dropped 1.3% to 64,075.42 and South Korea's Kospi plunged 4% to 5,539.05, while Australia's S&P/ASX 200, Hong Kong's Hang Seng and the Shanghai Composite also slipped.

- Nvidia chief makes surprising prediction about AI replacing human industry
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang spoke at an investment conference in Berlin alongside German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, urging German automakers and machinery makers to rapidly adopt AI to “re-engineer” the struggling economy using their manufacturing data and engineering expertise. He argued AI will augment rather than replace physical industries such as robotics, manufacturing, cars and heavy industry, saying “electrons will never replace atoms.” Huang warned Germany must act now and urged it to import foreign technology while keeping data and assets at home. The article notes Germany faces weak growth, high energy prices after losing cheap Russian gas, competition from China and excessive bureaucracy, while Europe lags the U.S. in building data centers.
- SpaceX Faces Earnings Test Today: RBC Flags Over 50% Upside As Tesla Merger Buzz Builds, S&P Flags AI Financing Risks
Shares of SpaceX (SPCX) slipped 0.4% overnight ahead of its third-quarter results, due after the close on Tuesday, as S&P Global warned of unseen AI-related liabilities. Koyfin expects revenue of $13 billion, EBITDA of $6.62 billion, EBIT of $2.35 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.13. RBC kept an 'Outperform' rating and a $225 price target, implying about 53% upside from the $147.96 level reached on Monday, and said investor interest in a potential Tesla merger is growing. S&P said interconnected financing can obscure obligations and expects Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, Oracle, Meta and SpaceX to spend over $7 trillion on AI-related capital expenditure from 2025 to 2030. Google's deal to buy SpaceX computing capacity at $920 million a month can be terminated by either party on 90 days' notice after Dec. 31.
- An AI bust could come from places investors arent watching , an economist says
Concerns about an AI bubble are growing, and TS Lombard's Dario Perkins warns that investors may be overlooking other risks. Debt among smaller cloud providers, model developers and suppliers could reach $2 trillion by the end of 2027. Perkins does not see this as a systemic risk, but warns that earnings disappointments and canceled orders could ripple through the ecosystem, and that a chip glut could follow over-ordering. Much of the industry's revenue growth still comes from spending within the AI ecosystem rather than from businesses and consumers outside it. He also flags political backlash, noting that ordinary people dislike AI and nearby datacenters, and warns that one high-profile accident could turn AI toxic.

- 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.
- Prediction: Oct. 21 Will Be a Huge Day for the Stock Market

In its latest quarter, Meta's total revenue rose 28% to $60 billion, with ad revenue at $59 billion. Investors will be watching whether its capital spending, now about 35% of revenue, is translating into growth. Meta's report could hint at the earnings outlook for other tech giants and set the direction for the S&P 500 in the coming days, with the first trading session after the report on Thursday.
