Japanese stocks fell sharply on Monday, reversing part of the previous session's gains after weak cues from Wall Street. The Nikkei 225 dropped 900.46 points (1.38%) to 64,423.83 after touching a low of 63,831.78, led by heavyweights and technology stocks, with Taiyo Yuden plunging more than 7% and SoftBank down more than 4%. On Wall Street, the Nasdaq fell 572.99 points (2.1%) to 26,140.03, the S&P 500 lost 84.62 points (1.1%) to 7,659.44, and the Dow slipped 175.28 points (0.3%) to 52,002.41.

WTI crude for November delivery rose $3.33 (3.4%) to $101.30 a barrel, topping $100 for the first time in a month as Iran re-escalated attacks in the Strait of Hormuz.
- BOJ chief says underlying inflation “quite close” to price goal
BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda said underlying inflation is “quite close” to the 2% target, as strong global AI demand and a tight job market add price pressure, signalling room for further rate hikes. He stressed that raising rates at an appropriate pace would help avoid spikes in bond yields, while failing to adjust could push long-term rates higher. The BOJ's two-day meeting concludes on October 30, but after its September hike, many policymakers are cautious about another move this month. According to sources cited by Reuters, many market players expect rates to hold at 1.25%, with hints of a possible rise to 1.5% as early as December. JGB yields have risen as concerns grow that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's big spending plans could worsen Japan's already strained finances.
- Nikkei 225 Opens Down 2 . 1 %, Pressuring Japan Equity Exposure
The Nikkei 225 opened October 19 at 404.78, down 2.1% from the previous close of 413.41 in the first minutes of Tokyo trading. The drop comes as the Bank of Japan has already signaled it cannot tolerate underlying inflation running above 2%, leaving limited room for policy to cushion a selloff. Yen-sensitive exporters, which are among the most widely held Japanese stocks by international funds, are expected to feel the impact first. The article notes that the Tokyo open can set the tone for the broader Asia session.

- Japan Government Bond Yields Ease After U . S . Tech Selloff
Japanese government bond yields eased on Monday morning as investors sought safety after losses in U.S. tech shares, with the 10-year yield at 2.9%, according to Reuters. The Nasdaq Composite fell 2.1% and the S&P 500 lost 1.1% in Friday's U.S. session; AP linked the selloff to concern that companies borrowing to expand AI may struggle to sustain spending as global bond yields rise. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi told parliament the government would manage the total amount of bond issuance. The Bank of Japan raised its uncollateralized overnight call rate target to around 1.25% from around 1% on Sept. 18, and Governor Kazuo Ueda said underlying inflation was “quite close” to the 2% target. The BOJ's next policy meeting is scheduled for Oct. 29–30.

- BingX, YouHodler added to ESMA MiCA register in latest update
ESMA's latest MiCA register update added nine crypto-asset service providers (CASPs), bringing the total to 375 unique providers, including BingX's Austrian entity MEGE zweite and the Italian subsidiary of YouHodler. Other additions were Spain's Prakma Markets, Openbank Deutschland (a unit of Banco Santander) and two German cooperative lenders, while Denmark's Penning Financial Services is no longer listed. The EMT register stayed at 50 entries for 25 unique entities, the ART register remained empty, and the non-compliant NCASP register rose by five entries to 178. BingX's EU CEO Daniel Lai said the authorization lets the company operate under a clear regulatory framework as it prepares to launch regulated services across the European Economic Area.
- Zcash Developer Zakura Proposes Fix to Stop Quantum Computers Linking Shielded Swaps
Zcash full node developer Zakura has proposed “one-time” viewing keys to stop a future quantum computer from linking a user's shielded Zcash payments. The biggest risk is swaps through NEAR Intents, where each swap out of ZEC posts one of the user's shielded addresses to NEAR's public chain as a refund address, and around $600 million to $700 million had flowed through that route by May, according to Zcash Open Development Lab CEO Josh Swihart. The fix derives a separate incoming viewing key for each published address while leaving the spending key untouched, so a quantum attacker who breaks one address would only see payments to that address. The approach needs no network upgrade, and wallets built on Zakura's open-source libraries, such as Vizor, can add it in the coming weeks, with hardware wallets to follow. At the time of reporting, ZEC traded at $1,165, up 3.6% on the day.
- JPMorgan's JPM Coin, representing dollar deposits, is coming to Ethereum: Bloomberg
JPMorgan will make JPM Coin, a token representing its dollar deposits, available to institutional clients on Ethereum, according to Bloomberg. The bank says Ethereum's liquidity makes it attractive to crypto companies seeking blockchain payments and to financial firms settling trades or backing tokenized assets. The move extends JPMorgan's blockchain work beyond Base and its private Kinexys network, which processes more than $7 billion daily. The bank did not say when the token will go live on Ethereum. Meanwhile, JPMorgan is among US banks planning a shared tokenized deposit network, but it was not on Swift's list of 17 banks preparing live transactions on its blockchain ledger in July.
- Robot factories and hypersonic missiles: JPMorgan Chase’s first $5 billion of defense investments
JPMorgan Chase said it has made $5 billion in startup investments in the first year of its U.S. security and resiliency initiative, a faster pace than expected. The bank had pledged $10 billion into startups over a decade and may expand the program beyond that amount, according to co-president Doug Petno. Among the disclosed stakes, JPMorgan has taken direct positions in Hadrian, which builds automated factories making parts for defense, aerospace and maritime companies, and Castelion, maker of the relatively low-cost hypersonic missile Blackbeard. The bank helped lead a $1.4 billion funding round for Hadrian and was involved in a $1 billion round for Castelion. The direct equity stakes mark a departure from JPMorgan's usual role as a lender and advisor.
- One Year In, JPMorganChase's Security and Resiliency Initiative Is Helping to Strengthen Industries Critical to Long-Term Economic Growth
One year after launching its $1.5 trillion Security and Resiliency Initiative (SRI), JPMorganChase said it has deployed $5 billion in equity investments through its Strategic Investment Group, half of its initial $10 billion SRI allocation. The firm has financed and facilitated more than $230 billion in transactions across SRI's focus areas, including supply chains and advanced manufacturing, defense and aerospace, energy, frontier technologies, and pharma and healthtech. The Strategic Investment Group, led by Todd Combs, invests in venture, growth and later-stage companies, while a team of more than 35 SRI professionals has expanded the initiative to Europe and Canada. Nearly one-third of SRI-related activity in the past year occurred outside the United States, as many critical technologies and supply chains cross borders. Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon said strong economies and national security require investment in infrastructure, manufacturing, energy, defense and innovation.
