- India Forex Reserves Fall $8 . 6 Billion To $726 Billion As RBI Defends Rupee
India's forex reserves fell $8.6 billion to $726 billion in the week ended October 9, marking their fifth straight weekly decline as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) intervened to stabilise the rupee. The cumulative fall over five weeks is about $59.7 billion, after reserves hit a record $785.71 billion on September 4. The drop reflects high crude oil prices, foreign portfolio outflows and persistent dollar demand. The rupee closed at 94.96 per dollar on Friday, up 1.9% for the week, after nearly hitting a record low of 96.96 earlier in October. The RBI has rolled out measures including a dedicated dollar window for state oil marketers, tighter forex derivatives rules and a risk reserve requirement, though these cannot eliminate underlying dollar demand.

Netflix (NFLX) reports third-quarter results after the bell on Tuesday, with the stock down more than 25% this year and closing Friday near $70, versus $93.76 at the end of 2025. Investors are worried about slowing viewership, competition from YouTube, and live sports moving to Amazon Prime Video and HBO Max. Last week Netflix cut about 6% of its workforce (roughly 1,000 employees) and named Peter Rice its new chief content officer, and five firms lowered price targets in October. Analysts expect EPS of $0.82 on revenue of $12.88 billion, up about 12% from a year earlier, in line with Netflix's own forecast.

Revenue of $5.61 billion missed the $5.72 billion expected, though sales rose 18.6% year over year on a higher average net selling price of $1,177 per ton and larger shipments. Management said imports remain well below historical levels, but it indefinitely idled the galvanizing lines at its Canadian unit Stelco due to oversupply. The company guided to about $715 million of adjusted EBITDA in Q4 and said 2027 adjusted EBITDA should exceed $4 billion based on current index price forecasts. Its target is to bring net debt to EBITDA below 2.5x by mid-2027.

- AI capex may be Meta's biggest earnings test
Meta Platforms (META) reports third-quarter earnings after the close on Wednesday, alongside a wave of Big Tech peers. The GAAP EPS estimate is $3.54, though that figure may be messy because a legal settlement will be included and analysts differ on how it will be accounted for. Options imply a 3.2% move in either direction, the smallest since the fourth-quarter report before last. Estimates for next year's capex vary widely: Wedbush near $250 billion, Evercore ISI $210 billion, Bank of America $205 billion and Dan Ives around $194 billion. Most analysts say that spending is acceptable if Meta provides a Muse roadmap and confidence it can monetize it, and the stock is up about seven and a half percent year to date.
