- Asian currencies firm as dollar retreats; yuan hits four-year high
Most Asian currencies firmed on Tuesday as the US dollar weakened, with China's yuan reaching 6.6775 per dollar, its strongest level since July 2022, after a firm daily fixing by the People's Bank of China and third-quarter growth of 4.5%. The PBOC kept its one-year loan prime rate at 3.00% and five-year rate at 3.50%, while the dollar index fell 0.2% to 101.78. The Indonesian rupiah stayed near 18,000 per dollar after MSCI proposed consulting on reclassifying Indonesia from emerging to standalone market status, triggering a selloff that saw the Jakarta Composite Index plunge nearly 12% on Friday and roughly 15% over two sessions. The index rebounded about 3% on Tuesday after authorities introduced measures to contain volatility, but the two-day rout erased about $82 billion in market value and the rupiah has lost around 8% against the dollar this year.

- Microsoft Corp.’s (MSFT) AI Advantage: Scale, Trust, and Economic Value
Aoris Investment Management reported that Class A of its International Fund returned 3.6% in Q3 2026 (+2.4% alpha) and Class C returned 4.5% (+3.1% alpha), targeting 8–12% annual net returns over a 5–7 year market cycle. Microsoft (MSFT) was a leading contributor, with its shares up 37% over three months and adding 2.4% to the fund's return. Aoris said that for most of the past two years investors focused on AI model capability, which left Microsoft's AI offerings looking pedestrian by comparison. MSFT closed at $521.91 on October 30, 2026, with a market capitalization of $3.88 trillion. At the end of Q2, 273 hedge fund portfolios held the stock, down from 282 the previous quarter.
- JPMorgan's shocking capital expenditures estimates for Amazon, and worries for McDonald's ahead
Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi breaks down the day's top headlines, saying hyperscalers have become “silly cheap,” Nvidia (NVDA) has an “unbelievable” valuation, and McDonald's (MCD) earnings should worry investors. He also interviews John Chambers, Founder & CEO of JC2 Ventures and former Cisco Executive Chairman & CEO, about the current state of the tech market.
- Gold Prices Surge on the Evening of November 2
Spot gold rose 2.3% to $3,963.80 per ounce on the evening of November 2, according to Kitco data, rebounding after a 3.6% drop on Friday to its lowest level since October 2025. Oil fell more than 6% as Iran and Qatar entered a third consecutive day of talks aimed at ending the conflict involving the US, Israel and Iran, easing inflation concerns and expectations of prolonged high US interest rates, while a weaker US dollar also supported gold. CME FedWatch put the odds of a Fed rate hike in December at 76.6%, down from 80% a week earlier. Gold's 14-day RSI rose to about 37 from below 30, which the article says means gold has moved out of technically oversold territory. Julius Baer analyst Carsten Menke said the outcome of the US midterm elections on November 3 is unlikely to significantly change the US fiscal outlook in a way that strongly affects gold prices.
- Amazon.com (AMZN) Secures $80 Billion For AI Buildout And Targets 75% Automation
Amazon has secured an US$80 billion supplier loan facility to fund large-scale AI infrastructure spending. The company is pursuing extensive robotics deployment across its fulfillment network, with an internal target to automate 75% of fulfillment operations. Management is pairing heavy AI capital expenditure with automation-focused cost control, while the business continues to report persistent negative free cash flow. The article notes that analysts flag risks around very large quarterly cash capex and reliance on debt financing while free cash flow remains negative.
- JPMorgan has some explosive capex estimates for Amazon — and investors are uncomfortable
According to the article, Amazon's leadership said capex next year will be meaningfully higher than this year, when the company is slated to spend about $220 billion on AI infrastructure. JPMorgan, through analyst Doug Anmuth, estimates Amazon's capex will rise 77% year over year to $395 billion next year and reach $476 billion in 2028. The article says this spending level has made investors uneasy about returns on the investment, which is why many hyperscale stocks are being sold.
- If the Fed Raises Interest Rates Again in 2026, I Predict These ETFs Will Be the Smartest Buys
The Federal Reserve chose not to raise the fed funds rate this past Wednesday, but CME's FedWatch tool still shows an 85% chance of a rate increase in December, with a couple more likely in the first half of 2027, as inflation remains robust. The article cites Hartford data showing that in years when inflation exceeds 3%, energy outperformed inflation 74% of the time, with an average 13% gain. The author is skeptical that this will hold this time, noting that renters (corporate and consumer) are struggling and crude oil has held at $100 per barrel since March, leaving VNQ and XLE already fully valued. The article points to XLB, EQRR and SPHQ as candidates, and notes that the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) has underperformed since early this year despite persistent inflation.
