U.S. stocks rose as strong earnings from SpaceX eased concerns about AI profitability, lifting chipmakers. Commercial crude oil stocks fell 3.1 million barrels last week, well beyond the 300,000-barrel drop analysts had expected. Canada announced billions in federal aid for its steel and auto sectors, which have been strained by tariffs imposed by President Trump. The U.K. approved a controversial gas field as soaring energy prices ended an approval process stalled over climate concerns, while U.K. inflation rose further above the Bank of England's target, strengthening the case for a rate hike. Bank Indonesia held its benchmark rate but raised its deposit facility rate, as the threat of an MSCI downgrade weighed on markets.

Other headlines cover Warsh's refusal to preview the next rate move, AI insurance gaps after safety incidents, and CoreWeave's selloff amid higher borrowing costs.

- 'Time Bomb' in Southeast Asia's Only Trillion-Dollar Economy: Stocks Plunge, Investors Flee, Unemployed Youth Turn to Motorbike Taxis, Former Minister Warns Economy Nears Brink
In Southeast Asia's only trillion-dollar economy, a 28-year-old IT graduate now works as a motorbike ride-hailing driver earning about $220 a month, while the middle class has shrunk roughly 19% from its peak and youth unemployment sits near 17%. After MSCI warned it could drop the market from its reference indexes, Indonesian stocks fell more than 11% on October 16, their steepest one-day drop since the 1998 Asian financial crisis, and slid nearly 4% more on October 19. High oil prices, rising U.S. interest rates and costly subsidies, such as free meals for over 80 million students at an estimated $30 billion a year, are adding pressure on the rupiah and the budget. Ferry Latuhihin, former chief economist at International Indonesia Bank, calls the situation a 'time bomb', while former trade minister Thomas Lembong warns the country is getting ever closer to the brink. Phillip Wool of Rayliant says the risk is concentrated in Indonesia.

Indonesia's Jakarta Composite plunged more than 11%, its largest single-day fall since 1998, after MSCI warned it could downgrade the country from emerging-market status, raising concerns about capital flight. Fed chair Kevin Warsh said AI could be the most consequential change to the U.S. and global economies in his lifetime. Oil stayed elevated amid the Iran war, with Brent falling 0.6% to $105.26 per barrel versus around $72 in late February, and U.S. crude down 0.9% to $97.11. The euro rose to $1.1255 and the dollar slipped to 157.96 yen.
- Stocks rebound after tech sell - off and Indonesia shares sink on market downgrade warning
World shares mostly rose on Friday, a day after a tech sell-off dragged Asian stocks lower, while Indonesia's market plunged after index provider MSCI warned it would downgrade the country from “emerging market” status, raising fears of capital flight. The Jakarta Composite fell more than 11%, its largest single-day drop since 1998 according to Trading Economics. In Asia, South Korea's Kospi rose 2.1% and Japan's Nikkei 225 gained 1.4% after heavy losses the previous day as AI-related shares eased. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh said AI could bring major benefits to the global and U.S. economies.

- Stocks rebound after tech sell - off and Indonesia shares sink on market downgrade warning
Most Asian shares rose on Friday after a tech sell-off the previous day dragged stocks lower. Indonesia's Jakarta Composite plunged more than 10% to its lowest level in years after MSCI warned it would downgrade Indonesia from its 'emerging market' status, raising concerns about capital flight. South Korea's Kospi jumped 3.6% after falling 7.6% the day before, Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 1.9% to 65,658.59, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng gained 1.2%.

Brent crude fell 0.4% to $105.46 a barrel, still well above the roughly $72 in late February before the Iran war began, as there is no U.S.-Iran deal to end the war and supply through the Strait of Hormuz remains under pressure.
- Most Asian stocks rise as calm returns after CoreWeave shock ; Indonesia faces market downgrade
Asian stocks rebounded on Friday after heavy tech selling the previous day, as questions over CoreWeave's debt fuelled worries about financing for the AI boom. By contrast, Indonesia's equity benchmark slumped 11%, its biggest drop since 1998, after MSCI said the market no longer merited "emerging market" status and was preparing to cut it from products tracked by global investors. Japan's Nikkei rose 1.9% and South Korea's KOSPI climbed 3.3%, recovering some of Thursday's almost 5% and nearly 8% plunges. Brent crude eased 0.7% to $105.14 a barrel, as the Trump administration considers lifting sanctions on some "shadow fleet" tankers to cut record global freight rates.

- Musk's wants to merge SpaceX and Tesla: Here's what to know
Musk said SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees to study a merger, which would be worth about $3.5 trillion combined and would be the largest corporate deal in history. SpaceX, valued at about $2 trillion after a record listing this year, absorbed Musk's AI startup xAI in February, while Tesla is valued at about $1.5 trillion. Musk holds about 82 percent of SpaceX's voting power but only about 20 percent at Tesla. Dan Ives puts the odds of a deal at 90 percent by early 2027, though Musk called the requirement of a majority of all Tesla shares 'quite a high hurdle'. Loyal retail investors hold an estimated 25 to 27 percent of Tesla shares, and legal obstacles appear slight because both companies moved their incorporation to Texas from Delaware.
- CoreWeave and Nebius Stocks Are Crashing. Time to Buy the Dip?
Shares of Nebius and CoreWeave each fell 25% in the week of October 12 to 16. The sell-off stems from the yield on CoreWeave's debt in the secondary market surging to 15%, versus roughly 5% on Treasuries, which pushes the debt into 'distressed' territory and signals doubts about its ability to meet obligations. Nebius sold off in sympathy as a fellow neocloud company. The bigger concern is that both companies must keep issuing debt to fund data centers, and if yields are high at issuance, the assumption of nearly unlimited cheap capital could be challenged. The author says it is unclear whether now is the time to buy.
- Disney’s multiplatform Super Bowl plan frustrates ABC affiliates
ABC station owners are irritated that Disney is airing the Super Bowl across several platforms, including Disney+, ESPN2, NFL Network and ESPNU, even though the game is already on ABC and ESPN. A station group CEO estimates that the combined platforms could cut broadcast ad revenue by up to 35% compared with last year. Local affiliates typically earn about 3% of annual ad revenue from the Super Bowl and pay network owners reverse retransmission fees, but Disney+ lacks geofenced ad insertion, so affiliates cannot sell ads to streaming viewers. Disney says national commercials will be identical on all platforms and that streaming major live events is standard industry practice. Super Bowl LX drew 125.6 million viewers in February.
- Meta’s deal to keep Zuckerberg in California adds fuel to wealth tax debate ahead of election
Meta says Mark Zuckerberg will remain in California for eight years and has created a new stock plan that could help cover his taxes if Proposition 40, a 5% tax on Californians worth over $1 billion, passes on Election Day on Nov. 3. According to a filing released with its third-quarter earnings, Meta will issue non-voting Class C shares starting in January, and Zuckerberg can sell or transfer up to 20% of the shares granted to him without affecting his majority voting control. The filing says Zuckerberg’s leadership is crucial to the company’s growth and its AI ambitions, including Meta Superintelligence Labs. Most of the tech industry opposes the measure, while a recent Citrin-Politico poll found 46% in favor and 43% against, suggesting it may fall short of the majority support it needs.
- Nasdaq sell-off: A momentum unwind 'for the record books'
Matt Stucky, chief portfolio manager for equities at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management, calls Thursday’s sell-off in the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) a momentum unwind “for the record books.” He says the market spent the first half of 2026 driven by a beta and momentum trade led by semiconductors, but in the third quarter, as rates rose, money shifted into quality stocks. He does not think the sell-off is justified by fundamentals, arguing that institutional portfolio managers swapping out of factor positions can drag down whole baskets of stocks. In semiconductors, spot rental rates for Nvidia Blackwell chips are higher than a month ago, showing tightening compute supply, even as financing costs rise and investors worry about neocloud business models and the rising cost of insuring their bonds.
- Dune launches real-time data feeds covering 200 onchain trading venues
Blockchain analytics platform Dune has launched real-time market data feeds covering more than 200 onchain trading venues, aiming to bring this data into the systems of traditional financial institutions. The feeds draw trade data from 12 blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana and Base, about one second after execution, covering both spot trading on decentralized exchanges and perpetual futures on Hyperliquid and Lighter. Early clients include quant funds, market makers, asset managers and bank trading desks, which use the data to assess liquidity and compare prices, though Dune did not name them. Meanwhile, the tokenized stock market has grown sharply, with distributed value reaching $3.58 billion, but 16 companies, including Microsoft, Alphabet and Goldman Sachs, have objected to their shares being traded on OKXICE’s proposed platform, and liquidity remains fragmented.
