On the evening of 15 October, crews at the Dai Dung plant in HCMC prepared to lower the 3,400-tonne steel arch of the pedestrian bridge over the Saigon River onto the Trung Nam S05 barge for transport to the city centre. The 187 m-long assembly will be moved by 30 SPMT self-propelled modules onto 50 support piers on the barge deck. The tow, about 124 km, is planned to take nearly two days, with an overnight stop at buoy SR05 and arrival at Bach Dang wharf on the morning of 18 October. Waterway traffic near the bridge site will be closed on 19 October from 13:00 to 19:00, and on 21 and 22 October from 02:00 to 18:00, for barge positioning, lifting and joining of the main structure. Nutifood, the project sponsor, said the main arch and support frame passed factory load tests.

- Steel arch of Saigon River pedestrian bridge weighing 3,400 tonnes successfully launched
Early on October 16, the steel arch of the pedestrian bridge over the Saigon River was moved from the shore onto the Trung Nam S05 barge at a port in Dong Xuyen Industrial Park, Ho Chi Minh City. About 30 SPMT self-propelled multi-axle modules had been deployed from 22h on October 15 to carry out the move. The barge will transport the arch by sea to central Ho Chi Minh City for installation. The bridge, about 720 metres long and 6 to 11 metres wide, began construction in March 2025 with a total investment of nearly 1,000 billion VND funded by Nutifood, and will link central HCMC with the Thu Thiem new urban area.
- Oracle Is Trucking In Natural Gas to Keep Its AI Data Centers on Schedule
Oracle is using or considering trucked natural gas, delivered as a 'virtual pipeline,' to power AI data centers held up by delayed pipelines and permits, at three sites including Project Jupiter in New Mexico. The trucked gas reportedly costs about four times the price at a major pipeline hub, but Oracle accepts it because missing delivery dates on large contracts could bring penalties and lost revenue exceeding the fuel bill. The New Mexico state land office twice refused rights-of-way for Jupiter's pipeline, pushing its start to February, and Oracle issued a force majeure notice to the developer, though it says the project remains on schedule for 2028. Remaining performance obligations reached $664 billion, but free cash flow was -$5 billion in the latest quarter, capex is expected at $90–95 billion this fiscal year, and total debt stands at $169.14 billion.
- Elon Musk Says Jensen Huang 'Rocks' as SpaceX, Nvidia Team Up on AI Data Centers in Space: ‘Far Better Than Almost Anyone Expects’
Elon Musk praised Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang as the two companies deepen their collaboration on AI computers designed to run in space. Musk said the Starmind computer, co-engineered by SpaceX and Nvidia, will reach volume production in 2027. Huang said the engineering teams are designing a new server and computing architecture for both space and Earth, and that they will explore putting data centers in orbit together. SpaceX aims to launch Nvidia-powered AI computers into orbit in 2027, but this depends partly on Starship, whose development Reuters reports has lagged Musk's original targets. Launch costs, satellite maintenance, power and thermal management remain major challenges.
- 3 UK Grid Stocks Retail Investors Are Watching for AI Data Centre Power
Microsoft's decision to pull its anchor AI data centre deal with Nscale highlights the UK power grid, which electricity networks and equipment providers control. The article profiles three companies from a screen that surfaced 26 more. Drax Group, a major UK renewable generator with a market cap of about £2.6 billion, is building over 700MW of battery storage backed by around £500 million of committed capital. Volex, valued at about £1.2 billion, supplies data centre power cables and high-speed connectivity products, including products up to 800 gigabits per second. Invinity Energy Systems, with about £9 million of battery revenue and a £101 million market cap, faces a key risk in securing vanadium raw materials for its flow batteries.
- Schneider electric boosts outlook again after data - center demand lifts sales
Schneider Electric raised its full-year targets for the second time this year, now expecting organic adjusted EBITA growth of 18%–21% (previously 14%–19%) and organic revenue growth of 12%–14%, driven by strong data-center demand. Third-quarter revenue rose 18% to 11.46 billion euros ($12.86 billion), beating analysts' expectations of 11.13 billion euros, with data-center demand more than doubling and showing triple-digit growth in the quarter. The company is using the windfall from AI-driven demand for dealmaking, including a $22.6 billion deal for PTC, a $1.35 billion takeover bid for Shelly Group and a $3.1 billion agreement to acquire Cognite. It expects data-center demand to stay strong in the fourth quarter, with pricing offsetting raw-material inflation and tariffs for the full year.
- CoreWeave debt concerns : AI demand is strong , but can the data centre major cash flow justify its spending ? Explained
Investor concern over debt financing for AI infrastructure is spreading into tech stocks. CoreWeave shares fell 15.5% on Wednesday, then recovered to close 5.94% higher on Thursday, while Nebius and Iren also came under pressure. Investors are questioning whether CoreWeave can generate enough operating cash flow to fund heavy chip and data centre spending, given its heavily negative free cash flow. CEO Mike Intrator said the backlog more than supports all debt obligations, and Deutsche Bank said it exceeds $100 billion, with about two-thirds from investment-grade customers, reiterating its buy rating. Oracle's five-year CDS spread reached 282 basis points, a roughly 10% rise in one week, and a CDS spread around 1,000 basis points is generally seen as a sign of credit distress.

- 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 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.
