- European shares stutter as bank earnings fail to offset pre-Fed jitters
European shares traded roughly flat as investors stayed cautious ahead of the Federal Reserve's rate decision and earnings from major U.S. technology companies. The STOXX 600 slipped 0.1%, the FTSE 100 fell 0.2% and Spain's IBEX 35 dropped 1%. Several major European banks posted third-quarter results above forecasts: BNP Paribas rose 1% on higher profit, Standard Chartered beat consensus and its shares jumped 4.4%, and UBS posted net profit of $2.69 billion, up 8% year-on-year and roughly in line with the $2.71 billion consensus. Outside finance, Dassault Systemes raised its 2026 revenue growth target to 4% to 5%. The Fed is expected to hold its rate at 3.75% to 4.00%, but interest-rate futures imply an 80% probability of a 25-basis-point hike at its December meeting, as high crude oil prices and resilient U.S. data keep inflation pressures elevated.
- Stock market today: Dow futures fall, S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures climb ahead of Fed decision, Big Tech earnings
US stock futures were mixed ahead of a critical day with a Fed decision and earnings from Microsoft and Alphabet. Dow futures fell 0.3%, S&P 500 futures traded just above the flat line, and Nasdaq-100 futures rose 0.3%. Tech sentiment improved this week as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq posted back-to-back gains, and semiconductor stocks rallied on Tuesday after Broadcom's CEO negotiated a consortium of banks to announce a $63 billion financing structure for AI compute capacity. The Fed is expected to hold rates steady at 2 p.m. ET despite elevated inflation readings, and investors will watch Chairman Kevin Warsh's press conference for any hawkish signals. Microsoft reports after offering buyouts to up to 60,000 employees; other companies reporting include Ford, GE Vernova, T-Mobile US, eBay, Chipotle and ServiceNow.

Latest news
- Apple brings touch to the Mac, reversing years-old stance on touchscreen laptop
Apple has launched its first laptop with a touchscreen, the MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display, which uses OLED technology. It runs M5 Pro or M5 Max chips, is lighter than Apple's current pro laptops, and runs macOS. The 14-inch version starts at $2,899 and the 16-inch version costs at least $3,399, both notable price increases, with sales beginning November 6. This is Apple's third major product launch under CEO John Ternus, in a laptop market suffering one of its worst slumps, which analysts link to AI-driven memory shortages that have raised prices. IDC reported that total PC shipments fell 20% year over year in the third quarter, while Apple's shipments dropped 11%.
- MacBook Pro: Apple launches its first ever touchscreen Mac – and brings back iconic feature
Apple has launched a new MacBook Pro, its first Mac with a touchscreen, which also brings back the glowing Apple logo on the back. The laptop uses the PROLED XDR display, Apple's OLED branding, and is lighter than the previous version, which weighed about 3.5 pounds. To support touch, Apple redesigned macOS so content is easier to manipulate and strengthened the hinge so the screen stays steady when touched. The 14-inch version starts at $2,899 and the 16-inch at $3,399, compared with $1,999 for the non-touchscreen model, which has a less powerful chip. Apple executives, including new CEO John Ternus, had previously dismissed touchscreen Macs mainly over ergonomic concerns about reaching across the keyboard.
- Why F5 Stock Is Getting Crushed Today
F5 (FFIV) shares fell more than 19% intraday even though fiscal fourth-quarter revenue rose 13% year over year to $917 million and adjusted EPS of $4.42 beat estimates. Investors reacted to guidance suggesting slower growth and shrinking gross margins, and Piper Sandler downgraded the stock from overweight to neutral. The article argues the sell-off may be overdone, since shares were up nearly 80% year to date as of the previous close and were vulnerable to profit-taking. Evercore ISI, Barclays and Morgan Stanley raised their price targets after the report, and the analyst consensus target stood at $457.44 versus a price near $370.
- Apple unveils groundbreaking MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch for the first time on Mac
Apple has introduced the MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display, using tandem OLED technology, and it is the first Mac with Touch, in thinner and lighter designs. The display offers up to 2,000 nits peak HDR and SDR brightness, a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio, a 120Hz refresh rate, and P3 and Adobe RGB color coverage. Powered by M5 Pro or M5 Max chips with up to 128 GB of unified memory and up to 16 TB of storage, the laptop offers up to 24 hours of battery life and brings the Dynamic Island to Mac. It comes in 14- and 16-inch models, with pre-orders starting October 28 and availability beginning November 6.
- Strategy Shareholders Approve Daily Dividends on Preferred Stock, With 99.3% in Favor
Strategy shareholders approved an amendment letting its four preferred stocks, STRF, STRC, STRK and STRD, accrue dividends every calendar day, including weekends and holidays, with 99.3% of votes cast in favor according to preliminary results. STRC will move first, with its first daily record date on November 1 and payment on November 2, while the other three switch over with a first record date on January 1 and payment on January 4, subject to filing amended terms for each stock. Record dates falling on non-trading days will be treated as the previous business day, so dividends are effectively grouped and paid on the next business day; for STRC, record dates rise from 24 a year to 365. STRC traded at $99.86 against its $100 par value, and last week Strategy paused Bitcoin purchases for the first time since mid-September to spend $204.9 million buying back STRC. Separately, Strategy faces possible removal from MSCI's widely tracked equity indexes, after MSCI finalized a rule treating companies whose balance sheets are dominated by a single asset as ineligible and will publish affected companies on November 11.
- Finance Minister: “Can Vietnam grow without FDI? The answer is simple: No way!”
At the Group 5 session on the draft amended Investment Law on 24/10, Finance Minister Ngô Văn Tuấn said Vietnam cannot reach double-digit growth without FDI. FDI disbursement reached about USD 21 billion in the first nine months of 2026, and the full-year target is at least USD 30 billion. Reaching double-digit growth would require total social investment of about 40% of GDP and an ICOR falling from 6.4 to 4.5–4.8, with 2026–2030 capital needs expected to be 2.67 times those of 2021–2025. He said incentives should shift toward high technology, R&D, and linkages between FDI firms and domestic businesses, as the global minimum tax reduces the effect of traditional tax incentives. As of August 2026, about 47,796 FDI projects were operating, with registered capital of roughly USD 561.6 billion.
