- Crypto Super PAC Fairshake Pours Millions More Into Defeating Sherrod Brown
Crypto super PAC Fairshake has reported fresh spending to defeat Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown in Ohio, pushing its total against him past $40 million. A Federal Election Commission filing signed Oct. 15 shows affiliate Defend American Jobs disclosed a $5.2 million media buy against Brown, another roughly $1.95 million days later, plus production costs, bringing his calendar-year total to about $46.66 million, the most expensive 2026 target for the industry. The same filing shows parallel spending supporting his Republican opponent Jon Husted. The move follows Fairshake's Oct. 5 announcement backing 32 House incumbents, with an initial $6 million committed to six of them. Brown, a longtime crypto critic who chaired the Senate Banking Committee, lost his seat in 2024 after Fairshake spent roughly $40 million to help defeat him.
- What Up w / Stocks , Cryptos , Gold & Silver ? October 19th , 2026 | Vero Patriot
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq posted their worst weekly performance since June, and many AI-linked companies entered bear market territory with declines of 20% or more. Hotter-than-expected inflation, with CPI at 3.7% and PPI at 6.2%, led investors to price in at least an 89% chance of another Fed rate hike this year, though most still expect no change at this month's meeting. WTI crude closed above $101 per barrel, while the 9% of companies that had reported third-quarter earnings averaged 29% growth. Year to date, the Dow is up 7%, the S&P 500 12% and the Nasdaq 13%, while Bitcoin is down 8%, Ether 19%, gold 3% and silver 19%. Based on earnings, the article says the S&P 500's P/E of 26.12 versus a historical average of 16.24 implies a maximum downside of 38%.
- Ethereum Dramatically Outperformed the S&P 500 in Q3. Is It Finally Time to Load Up on Ethereum?
Ethereum rose 66% in the third quarter, its best quarter since 2021, while the S&P 500 gained 2% amid global uncertainty. Still, ETH is down 37% over five years, while an S&P 500 index fund with dividends reinvested would have returned 85%, so it would need to gain a lot to catch up. The article argues one strong quarter doesn't justify overbuying, though owning some makes sense since Ethereum hosts $147.9 billion in stablecoins and $17 billion in tokenized real-world assets. The chain collected $354,748 in fees over the 24 hours ending Oct. 14, and its Glamsterdam upgrade, live on a test network since Oct. 6, is slated for mainnet in the fourth quarter.
- CNBC Daily Open: Tech rebounds in the U.S., but Asia isn’t buying it yet
U.S. tech stocks rebounded as the Nasdaq Composite rose more than 1% on Monday, with Nvidia up 1.4% and Tesla up 3.8%. In Asia, however, tech shares fell on Tuesday, with South Korea's Kospi down over 4% and Japan's Nikkei 225 down 1.6%. Nvidia also unveiled plans to back four German AI startups as part of its nearly $10 billion European investment commitment. Jenny Lee of Granite Asia said Asian companies are reaching IPOs much sooner, often at four to five years old, while Jio Platforms' Indian IPO saw its anchor investor quota oversubscribed more than 30 times, aiming to raise up to 302 billion rupees ($3.2 billion). 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.

- 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.
- 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.
- Frank Elderson: Interview with Die Presse
In an interview with Die Presse, ECB Executive Board member and Supervisory Board Vice-Chair Frank Elderson argues that the 2008 financial crisis cost far more than bank regulation, and that post-crisis reforms made European banks better capitalised, more liquid and more profitable on average. He says simplification is not deregulation and notes the ECB has already cut reporting obligations and sped up processes. He identifies fragmentation as Europe's biggest competitiveness obstacle, since cross-border banking remains limited, and calls for completing the Single Market, the savings and investments union and the banking union, including a European deposit insurance scheme. He argues simplification and integration must advance together in the European Commission's banking reform package, and that Basel standards keep competition based on efficiency rather than the weakest rules.
