• Bitcoin slips under $80,000 as traders de-risk ahead of Fed meeting

  Bitcoin fell nearly 2% to about $79,800 on Monday morning in Asia as traders cut risk ahead of this week's Federal Reserve meeting. Ether dropped nearly 3% to just above $2,300, XRP lost about 3% to $1.28, and SOL slid 2% while barely holding $100; TRX was the only major token in the green, up less than 1%, according to CoinDesk data. Investors are watching Chair Kevin Warsh's press conference for signs of a possible December rate hike, which could tighten liquidity for crypto and stocks. Asian tech stocks kept falling: South Korea's Kospi dropped 1% after Goldman Sachs cut its 12-month target for the index by 25%, and Brent crude fell 2% to about $114 a barrel. Bitcoin needs to regain $82,500 before buyers can treat the dip as a pause.

• Bitcoin price steadies around $82K after Fed's Warsh avoids rate-hike hints

  Bitcoin traded near $82,000 at Friday's Wall Street open as crypto markets stabilized alongside a 2% rebound in South Korean stocks after a steep weeklong sell-off. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh gave no indication of further rate hikes in a discussion with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, and the probability of a 25-basis-point October hike fell to 15% from 27% the previous day. The 10-year US Treasury yield climbed to 5.13% before easing to 5.07%, prompting analysts to warn that Washington faces difficult choices. Economist Robin Brooks said fears of an AI blow-up, a key driver of the Korean sell-off, may be making markets more receptive to the Fed's dovish message.

• Altcoins outpace bitcoin as celestia jumps 16%, Warsh silent on interest-rate plans

  Bitcoin held near $82,100 and was little changed, while altcoins edged ahead: Celestia (TIA) jumped 16% to about $0.68, Injective rose 7.7% to about $9.19 and LayerZero gained 7.3%. Ether added 0.5% to near $2,450. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh gave no signal on the central bank's plans for its meeting later this month, and the odds of an October rate increase fell to about 15% from roughly 30%, according to CME FedWatch. Crypto futures volume dropped 20% to $200 billion over 24 hours, while open interest rose 2% to $142.21 billion and liquidations fell to $311 million from nearly $1 billion the day before. Derivatives data suggest the rally has little support from new long positions, as traders mostly closed shorts.

• What so wrong with high interest rates ? - The Business Times

  The article argues that high interest rates are not entirely bad, offering better yields for savers and new opportunities for investors. After a pause, several central banks have resumed raising rates, including the Fed and ECB in September, as well as the Bank of Japan, Bank of Korea, Reserve Bank of Australia and Reserve Bank of India; the ECB is expected to hike again before year-end as inflation is nearly double its 2 per cent target. According to the piece, savers, people nearing retirement, banks and insurers could benefit, while companies whose profits lie far in the future, such as many AI firms, could be hit harder as their future earnings are discounted. Stock markets as a whole could react badly, and rates may stay elevated for longer.

• Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures rise ahead of busy week of earnings, Fed rate decision

  US stock futures rose Monday morning, with Dow futures up 0.4%, S&P 500 futures up 0.3% and Nasdaq-100 futures up 0.3%, after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each logged a second straight weekly loss. Brent crude fell below $110 a barrel after hitting its highest level since April amid escalating Middle East tensions, with Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia keeping supply concerns in focus. The Federal Reserve is widely expected to hold rates steady at its meeting this week, though after hotter-than-expected inflation data, many experts expect Chair Kevin Warsh to lean toward a 'hawkish pause.' The ECB, Bank of Canada and Bank of Japan also hold policy meetings this week.

• Here's What $1,000 Spread Across These 4 Memory and Storage Stocks Could Be Worth by 2030

  SK Hynix listed on the Nasdaq in July in the largest ADR offering in Wall Street history, raising roughly $26.5 billion, and major AI memory suppliers now trade on one US exchange. The author compares Micron, Sandisk, SK Hynix and Western Digital, pointing to Micron's HBM4 production for Nvidia's Vera Rubin platform, Sandisk's multiyear supply agreements, SK Hynix's single-digit multiple of trailing earnings, and Western Digital's nearly sold-out 2026 capacity. The article also flags memory's cyclical nature, noting Micron's shares lost roughly half their value in the 2022 downturn. In the author's own scenario, with assumed annual growth of 20%, 18% and 15% for different stocks, $1,000 split equally would reach about $1,880 by 2030, or about $1,460 if all four match a 10% market average.

• Sterling today: Pound slips as dollar holds firm ahead of Fed decision

  Sterling fell 0.22% against the dollar to $1.3348, while the euro rose 0.09% to $1.1213, as investors positioned ahead of a busy week of central bank meetings and the Fed decision on Wednesday. ING's Chris Turner said the dollar can probably hold its gains, citing elevated energy prices and the arrival of a third US aircraft carrier group in the Gulf. Markets and economists expect the Fed to hold rates, while ING forecasts a 25 basis point hike in December. Turner expects the DXY to trade between 101.45 and 101.85 today and sees EUR/USD capped near 1.1250/70, while calling the 1.1180 support level vulnerable this week.

• Is Tesla Stock Still Worth Owning After Its Quarter?

  Tesla stock fell 3.1% the day after it reported Q3 FY2026 results on October 21, 2026, while the S&P 500 lost 1.2%. Operating margin dropped to 2.6% of revenue of $28.0 billion from 6.6% a year earlier, as operating costs grew even though gross margin rose to 19.6% from 18.0%. On a trailing basis, operating margin has fallen to 3.5%, from 11.2% in the period ended September 2023. Management said operating expenses will keep rising during a large investment cycle, with capital spending of about $20 billion expected in 2026 and Robotaxi revenue expected to become noticeable in Q2 2027. The article notes Tesla shares trade at about 375 times trailing earnings, a price it suggests may reflect the Robotaxi and Optimus businesses more than cars.
