The article opens with Amazon's decision to fund 12 small nuclear reactors at a former Indiana coal plant, then reviews three nuclear stocks. NuScale Power has a market cap of US$2.5 billion and about $11 million in revenue from US utility-related activities, and it is involved in the RoPower SMR project in Romania. Constellation Energy has a market cap of US$96.1b and around 920 MW of long-term nuclear contracts averaging 18.5 years with investment-grade buyers. Oklo has a market cap of US$5.2b and is developing 15–75 MW Aurora fission plants; the NRC has approved Aurora's principal design criteria, though the reactors are not yet fully licensed.

- AEP Partners with Amazon and X-energy to Explore Advanced Nuclear Energy in Indiana
American Electric Power (AEP) has announced a joint development agreement with X-energy to evaluate the feasibility of a 960-megawatt advanced nuclear project at a former coal plant site in Sullivan County, Indiana. Amazon is supporting development through a funding agreement. If the project reaches a final investment decision and is built, Amazon intends to buy the power under a long-term contract covering the facility's costs and operations. The initial project would include 12 Xe-100 units of 80 MW each, and the companies say it could create jobs, expand the local tax base and strengthen the grid for more than 60 years. AEP says the agreements include the financial safeguards it considers essential for any nuclear project to move forward.

- Amazon to fund 12 small nuclear reactors at former Indiana coal plant
Amazon is funding a proposed 960-megawatt nuclear plant in Indiana and will be its first power buyer, the companies announced Monday. American Electric Power (AEP) will operate the plant, while X-energy will supply 12 Xe-100 small modular reactors on the site of a demolished coal plant south of Terre Haute. This is the second Amazon–X-energy deal and three times larger than the first; unlike many new plants, it will connect to the public grid, though Amazon says the power will also serve its data centers. The timeline still hinges on X-energy delivering its first plant at Seadrift, Texas, which is the subject of a state lawsuit and has not yet broken ground.

- X-energy, Amazon, American Electric Power Partner to Bring SMR Project to Indiana
X-energy, American Electric Power (AEP) and Amazon have announced a Joint Development Agreement to advance feasibility work for a proposed 960 MW Xe-100 small modular reactor project in Indiana. The plan involves a 12-unit Xe-100 plant near the former Breed coal plant site in Sullivan County, which AEP owns and would redevelop as a brownfield site. Amazon will provide certain project development funding, marking the second commercial deployment under its collaboration with X-energy to bring more than 5 GW of new nuclear capacity to the U.S. grid by 2039. Indiana has enacted supportive state policies for SMR deployment since 2025, including investment and manufacturing tax credits.
- Should You Buy NuScale at $6 After the Google Rally? Here's the Next Catalyst That Could Send It Higher.
Google signed a 20-year power purchase agreement with Constellation Energy, and Constellation's stock rose 12% after the October 6 announcement, lifting other nuclear stocks. NuScale Power (SMR), an early-stage developer of small modular reactors, trades below $6 and is largely story-driven. The stock has fallen more than 90% from its peak of about $57, weighed down by weak nuclear stocks, Fluor exiting its stake, and no new commitments for its technology. The article says a firm deal with the Tennessee Valley Authority through ENTRA1's non-binding agreement for up to 6 GW (requiring up to 72 NuScale modules) could be a major catalyst, but without firm commitments the stock may fall further.

- 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.
- Yen jumps after JGB auction draws big demand , euro finds relief
The yen rose 0.2% to 158.15 per dollar in Asian trading after a 20-year Japanese government bond auction drew bids of 5.84 times the amount sold, well above the 4.01 times at the previous auction, and the yield fell 6 basis points to 3.71%. A State Street strategist said the record demand suggests sidelined cash is returning and that JGBs are becoming a relative haven from political and fiscal volatility in Europe, particularly France. Anti-government protests in France prompted curfews in several cities, while Italy said it would send 500 troops after two days of unrest, and the euro rallied 0.2% to $1.1234. Elsewhere, bitcoin slipped 0.3% to $81,674.25 and ether edged down 0.2% to $2,393.21.
- Unemployment rate dips to 4 . 7 % - but vacancies hit five - year low
Vacancies fell by 21,000 to 691,000 in the three months to September, the biggest drop since the three months to March and the lowest since July to September 2014 outside the pandemic, while unemployment dipped in the three months to August. Payroll numbers were down 66,000 over the year to September. The ONS said the fall was mainly among smaller firms struggling with higher labour costs, following rises in employer national insurance, the minimum wage and workers' rights. A CBI survey found labour costs and regulations were making it harder to create jobs, and firms urged the Chancellor not to add to their burden in the October 28 Budget. ICAEW's Suren Thiru said the labour market is 'running on idle' and unemployment could climb above 5 per cent, while Shadow Chancellor Andrew Griffith blamed Labour's 'Jobs Tax' and red tape.
- CNBC Daily Open: Tech rebounds in the U.S., but Asia isn’t buying it yet
U.S. tech stocks rebounded as the Nasdaq Composite rose more than 1% on Monday, with Nvidia up 1.4% and Tesla up 3.8%. In Asia, however, tech shares fell on Tuesday, with South Korea's Kospi down over 4% and Japan's Nikkei 225 down 1.6%. Nvidia also unveiled plans to back four German AI startups as part of its nearly $10 billion European investment commitment. Jenny Lee of Granite Asia said Asian companies are reaching IPOs much sooner, often at four to five years old, while Jio Platforms' Indian IPO saw its anchor investor quota oversubscribed more than 30 times, aiming to raise up to 302 billion rupees ($3.2 billion). In Singapore, several agricultural stocks fell after Senior Minister K Shanmugam warned that companies would not escape responsibility for possible roles in the haze, noting seven firms had been questioned by the Singapore Exchange.
- NiSource (NI) Stock Looks Overvalued Against Its Dividend Outlook
NiSource has nearly doubled shareholders' money over the past five years, delivering a 97.6% total return, which raises the question of whether dividends can justify the current share price. The article highlights a new 20-year energy agreement with Microsoft, including customer-funded grid upgrades and long-term electric service for data centers, which may affect future capital needs and cash-flow visibility. Using a Dividend Discount Model with inputs of about $1.35 dividend per share, roughly 9.07% return on equity, a payout ratio slightly above 61%, and implied dividend growth of about 3.5%, the estimated intrinsic value sits meaningfully below the current share price of $41.95. The model still does not bridge that gap, suggesting income investors are paying a premium for a relatively steady payout with modest assumed growth.
