German stocks fell on Tuesday, extending the previous session's decline, as rising oil prices and political tensions in France and other parts of Europe prompted more selling. Concerns over AI-related valuations and a sharp acceleration in Germany's producer price inflation also weighed on sentiment. Brent crude rose nearly 2% to $111.75 a barrel after Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabian infrastructure and reports of vessel attacks in the Gulf.

- New energy shock hits Germany
Producer prices for refined petroleum products in Germany rose 51.3% year on year in September, according to Destatis, with heating oil up 91.8% and motor fuel up 48.6%. Overall producer prices climbed 6.7%, the steepest rise since March 2023, while Germany's crude oil import costs rose 21.7% to €30 billion in the first eight months of 2026. Destatis attributed the increase to higher crude prices amid the Middle East conflict; the report also cites disruption in the Strait of Hormuz and Brent topping $111 a barrel on October 20. Germany has faced higher costs since halting Russian gas imports, and Berlin reportedly spent about €50 billion to cushion the impact. Meanwhile, corporate insolvencies in the first half of 2026 reached their highest level in 13 years.
- DAX Hits 3 - Week High Amid Tech Rally , Softer Oil
German stocks rose on Friday for a third straight session as concerns over interest rates and AI spending eased, with lower oil prices adding to the positive mood.

European shares fell as the pan-European Stoxx 600 dropped 0.3%, with investors trimming exposure to European equities and sovereign debt after severe unrest across France, where nighttime curfews were imposed in major cities including Paris and Nice. French sovereign debt suffered its worst daily sell-off in nearly a month on Monday, widening its CDS premium over German Bunds. Markets are awaiting SpaceX and Meta earnings this week for guidance on AI capital expenditure, following last week's tech sell-off over concerns about debt financing and return on AI investment. ABB fell 4.7% despite third-quarter results in line with forecasts, while Brent crude hovered near five-month highs after Yemen's Houthi movement confirmed drone and missile strikes on Saudi infrastructure, including an Aramco facility in Yanbu. The attacks heightened concerns over seaborne oil and LNG supply.
- European stocks slip led by France, and oil falls on Trump's Russian sanctions waiver
European stocks fell, led by France, where the CAC 40 dropped 1.3% to 7,854.31 after violent weekend protests that led to more than 2,000 arrests. Oil slipped about 2% after President Donald Trump put on hold broad sanctions against Russia, including on its energy, a move that drew disappointment from Ukraine and is likely to lift Russian energy exports. Brent fell 2.1% to $107.55 a barrel. In Asia, tech shares remained volatile amid investor concerns over the sustainability of the AI boom, with South Korea's Kospi still down more than 17% over the past month. The 10-year US Treasury yield eased to around 5.08%, after hitting 5.35% earlier this month, its highest since 2002.
- Euro drops amid high energy prices and street riots in France
The euro fell 0.2% to US$1.1218 as high energy prices and concerns over political stability in France grew after weekend riots and looting, described as some of the country's worst unrest in years. Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu said he had asked some local municipalities to impose partial curfews. The spread between French OAT bonds and German bunds widened by about 40 basis points to above 150 bps early in the month and was last at 144 bps. Analysts said the euro would face sustained pressure only if French political tensions spilled over and weighed on sentiment across the eurozone. High oil prices, with Brent still above US$100, have supported the dollar while weighing on the euro and yen.

- 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.
