GreenCore Solutions Corp. (GSC) has launched gtinfetch.ai, a GTIN resolver for AI agents that can look up any barcode in one call, covering 84 million barcodes on Microsoft Azure and the Cloudflare edge. The product targets retail grocery agentic commerce in 20 countries and allows an order to be paid within the same call using x402 with USDC or Open USD. The release cites Gartner's forecast that 90% of B2B buying will be AI-agent intermediated by 2028, and Juniper Research's estimate that agentic commerce transaction value will reach $8 billion in 2026 and $3.5 trillion by 2031. CEO Matthew Keddy says the tool lets buyers and sellers verify product identity before a transaction happens.

The release cites Gartner's forecast that 90% of B2B buying will be AI-agent intermediated by 2028, and Juniper Research's estimate that agentic commerce transaction value will reach $8 billion in 2026 and $3.5 trillion by 2031.

- Meta Releases Open-Weight Muse Spark Model for Developers and Coding Agents
Meta released an open-weight version of its Muse Spark AI model on Thursday, designed for coding and AI agents, allowing developers to download and modify it. The model has 816 billion total parameters, with 42 billion active at a time, handles up to 1 million tokens of context, and can run locally on two Apple M5 Ultra Mac Studio computers. This fits Mark Zuckerberg's view that advanced AI should not sit with a few companies, and Meta plans to mix open and closed releases. Open models can give companies more control over their data but require significant computing power, while Meta expects capital spending of $130 billion to $145 billion this year and Q2 free cash flow was only $784 million.

- An AI bust could come from places investors arent watching , an economist says
Concerns about an AI bubble are growing, and TS Lombard's Dario Perkins warns that investors may be overlooking other risks. Debt among smaller cloud providers, model developers and suppliers could reach $2 trillion by the end of 2027. Perkins does not see this as a systemic risk, but warns that earnings disappointments and canceled orders could ripple through the ecosystem, and that a chip glut could follow over-ordering. Much of the industry's revenue growth still comes from spending within the AI ecosystem rather than from businesses and consumers outside it. He also flags political backlash, noting that ordinary people dislike AI and nearby datacenters, and warns that one high-profile accident could turn AI toxic.
- Yen jumps after JGB auction draws big demand , euro finds relief
The yen rose 0.2% to 158.15 per dollar in Asian trading after a 20-year Japanese government bond auction drew bids of 5.84 times the amount sold, well above the 4.01 times at the previous auction, and the yield fell 6 basis points to 3.71%. A State Street strategist said the record demand suggests sidelined cash is returning and that JGBs are becoming a relative haven from political and fiscal volatility in Europe, particularly France. Anti-government protests in France prompted curfews in several cities, while Italy said it would send 500 troops after two days of unrest, and the euro rallied 0.2% to $1.1234. Elsewhere, bitcoin slipped 0.3% to $81,674.25 and ether edged down 0.2% to $2,393.21.
- Unemployment rate dips to 4 . 7 % - but vacancies hit five - year low
Vacancies fell by 21,000 to 691,000 in the three months to September, the biggest drop since the three months to March and the lowest since July to September 2014 outside the pandemic, while unemployment dipped in the three months to August. Payroll numbers were down 66,000 over the year to September. The ONS said the fall was mainly among smaller firms struggling with higher labour costs, following rises in employer national insurance, the minimum wage and workers' rights. A CBI survey found labour costs and regulations were making it harder to create jobs, and firms urged the Chancellor not to add to their burden in the October 28 Budget. ICAEW's Suren Thiru said the labour market is 'running on idle' and unemployment could climb above 5 per cent, while Shadow Chancellor Andrew Griffith blamed Labour's 'Jobs Tax' and red tape.
- CNBC Daily Open: Tech rebounds in the U.S., but Asia isn’t buying it yet

In Asia, however, tech shares fell on Tuesday, with South Korea's Kospi down over 4% and Japan's Nikkei 225 down 1.6%.

In Singapore, several agricultural stocks fell after Senior Minister K Shanmugam warned that companies would not escape responsibility for possible roles in the haze, noting seven firms had been questioned by the Singapore Exchange.
- NiSource (NI) Stock Looks Overvalued Against Its Dividend Outlook
NiSource has nearly doubled shareholders' money over the past five years, delivering a 97.6% total return, which raises the question of whether dividends can justify the current share price. The article highlights a new 20-year energy agreement with Microsoft, including customer-funded grid upgrades and long-term electric service for data centers, which may affect future capital needs and cash-flow visibility. Using a Dividend Discount Model with inputs of about $1.35 dividend per share, roughly 9.07% return on equity, a payout ratio slightly above 61%, and implied dividend growth of about 3.5%, the estimated intrinsic value sits meaningfully below the current share price of $41.95. The model still does not bridge that gap, suggesting income investors are paying a premium for a relatively steady payout with modest assumed growth.
