- Markets today : Wall Street hit by tech slump , ASX set to edge lower
A broad sell-off in tech stocks pushed Wall Street lower, with the S&P 500 down 1.1% and the Nasdaq down 2.1%, marking the market's worst week since late June. Chipmakers including Micron, AMD, Broadcom and Intel fell as investors questioned how long the AI spending boom could last, while Netflix dropped 2.9% after a management change. The 10-year Treasury yield eased to 5.09% from 5.10%, after touching its highest level since 2002 earlier this month, and traders put the odds of a Fed rate hike in December at 74.3%.

- Tech Sell-Off: 2 Growth Stocks Investors Might Regret Not Buying on the Dip
Many AI-leading stocks are pulling back after three years of strong gains, as investors worry about rising data-center funding costs and weaker-than-expected future demand. The iShares Semiconductor ETF is down more than 20% from its June peak and is in bear territory, weighing on the Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500. The author highlights two non-semiconductor AI stocks: Datadog (DDOG), whose revenue growth accelerated to 36% in Q2 and whose 2026 revenue forecast was raised by $140 million to $4.46 billion, though its P/S of 24.3 is well above its three-year average of 17.7. Palo Alto Networks (PANW) reported next-generation security ARR of $9 billion, up 63%, and targets $20 billion by fiscal 2030.
- Treasury yields move lower as investors assess U.S. inflation backdrop
Yields on 10-year Treasurys fell more than 2 basis points to 5.0729%, 30-year yields dropped 2 basis points to 5.4122%, and the 2-year note was broadly flat at 4.7273%. Yields eased even as inflation concerns persist, after strong Bureau of Labor Statistics data showed wholesale prices up 6.3% annually last month, the biggest jump since 2022, and consumer costs up 3.7% in September, beating estimates. Energy prices also fell as investors weighed the prospect of more Russian crude reaching the market, with WTI for November delivery down 2.05% at $99.33 a barrel and Brent down 2.65% to $106.99. Traders price an above-85% chance that the FOMC will keep borrowing costs unchanged at its Oct. 28 decision, according to the CME FedWatch tool.

- Duong Son Ba Arrested, Hai Phong Thermal Power Loses Lawsuit and Must Pay VND 115 Billion to Partner
Hai Phong Thermal Power (HND) disclosed an appellate ruling in a coal supply dispute with Dan Ka Mineral, under which the court accepted the plaintiff's appeal and ordered the company to pay nearly VND 115 billion, including a coal price difference of over VND 80.15 billion and interest of over VND 34.65 billion. The dispute stems from a 2021 contract, with disagreement over price adjustments after global coal prices rose sharply in 2022. Duong Son Ba, the company's general director, was arrested on 21 May 2026 over alleged forgery of documents of an agency or organisation, and the board dismissed him from the post on 13 October, with no successor yet announced. In the first half of 2026, the company reported net revenue of nearly VND 6,081 billion, up 8%, and after-tax profit of over VND 508 billion, up nearly 25%.
- Iran threatens to use the 'father of all missiles' to strike adversaries' energy facilities
Major General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, senior adviser to the IRGC commander, said at a rally in Sari on October 18 that Iran has prepared the most advanced missiles and will respond to any aggression. He warned that energy infrastructure and investments belonging to powers Tehran deems aggressive in the region could fall within Iranian missile range. His remarks answered US President Donald Trump's threat to use the GBU-43/B MOAB, often called the 'mother of all bombs' and weighing about 14 tons, against Iran's energy infrastructure and nuclear sites. Naqdi said Iran also possesses these bombs, having seized some that failed to detonate in the 12-day war, and called Trump's impatience a 'public admission of defeat'.
- Strategy on verge of golden cross, just weeks after bitcoin flashed same bullish signal
Strategy (MSTR) is about to form a golden cross, when its 50-day average rises above its 200-day average, possibly as early as Monday, just weeks after bitcoin showed the same bullish signal. The company holds $69.81 billion in bitcoin, and its stock has had two earlier golden crosses followed by big rallies: from $15.57 in September 2020 to $127.29 by February 2021, a 717% gain, and from $25.29 on March 2, 2023 to a peak of $473.83 in November 2024, up 1,774%. The article stresses the signal is unreliable, though: since 1999 MSTR has had 19 golden crosses, and only 10 were followed by a higher price 12 months later, a 50% hit rate, with a median 12-month return of just 3.3%. The two worst cases, in 2001 and 2007, were followed by a 61% loss.
- Director of the HCMC Institute of Economics, Natural Resources and Environment: Four major corporations have raised plans to invest in Vietnam, but pulled back when asked about power capacity
At a seminar co-organized by Tien Phong newspaper and the HCMC Department of Construction on October 16, TS. Phạm Viết Thuận said the city should treat infrastructure as an integrated system rather than focusing only on transport. He argued that 11 main and 13 secondary infrastructure categories, including power, water drainage, industrial zones and logistics, need to be synchronized for the city to develop its economy. To address flooding, he proposed surveying 159 flood-prone points and building ecological lakes at major spots. He also noted that four large corporations had considered investing in Vietnam but withdrew when asked about grid power capacity. Department director Trần Quang Lâm said capital mobilization and land policy need further study, while traffic congestion, flooding and pollution remain the city’s top priorities.
- Live updates: Bitcoin tags $83,000 and slips back as chip stocks lead a rebound
Bitcoin climbed from an overnight low near $80,700 to just above $83,000 early Monday, then slipped back to about $82,400 as sellers stepped in, and was up 0.3% over 24 hours. The bounce followed tech stocks, with Nasdaq 100 futures up 1.1%, snapping a weeklong 5.5% selloff, and an ETF tracking chipmakers jumping 3%. WTI crude recovered to $98.55 after touching $96.72, as the U.S. warned citizens across 12 Middle East locations of possible flight cancellations and airspace closures, raising fears of fresh strikes on Iran and disruption at the Strait of Hormuz. In Europe, the Stoxx 600 fell 0.8% after protests in France. Bitcoin would need to move through $84,000, its ceiling on October 13 and 14, to signal that the tech rebound is lifting it too.
- Baystreet . ca - When Might October Nasdaq Correction End ?
The Nasdaq Composite (QQQ ETF) is 6.96% below its 52-week high after falling 5.52% last week, close to the 10% threshold for a technical correction. The article says high oil prices, sustained by Iran's control of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, keep September CPI and PPI rising, and that Iran wants higher oil prices to hurt the Republican Party before the midterm elections, so the correction in beaten-down stocks may continue. CoreWeave (CRWV) lost 25.21% last week, closing just 3% above its yearly low, while bears holding a 17% short float bet its $50 billion debt is unsustainable. Nebius (NBIS) fell 25% and Twilio (TWLO) dropped 15.6%, while Autodesk (ADSK), Salesforce (CRM) and Adobe (ADBE) drew buying. The article suggests volatility may ease after the midterms.
