  • AI stocks lead rebound on Wall Street as European markets drop

    AI stocks led a rebound on Wall Street after last week's steep losses, with the S&P 500 up 0.5% and the Nasdaq up 1.1%, while most other U.S. stocks fell and the Dow was mostly unchanged. European markets fell sharply, with Paris down 1.1%, after weekend protests raised concerns about higher government spending and pushed bond yields up. Last week's sell-off had been driven by worries about expensive borrowing, as the 10-year Treasury yield rose to 5.14%, after topping 5.30% earlier this month, its highest level since 2002. CoreWeave rose 2.8% after tumbling 25.2% last week, Nvidia gained 1.3%, and Cleveland-Cliffs jumped 15.8% after a bigger-than-expected quarterly profit.

  • AI stocks lead rebound on Wall Street as European markets drop

    AI stocks led a Monday rebound on Wall Street, with the S&P 500 up 0.5% and the Nasdaq up 1.1%, recovering part of last week's steep losses while most other U.S. stocks and European markets fell. CoreWeave rose 2.8% after dropping 25.2% last week, as worries about the rising cost of borrowing, which funds much of the AI chip and data center spending, weighed on the sector. In Europe, indexes fell sharply after violent weekend protests raised pressure on governments to spend more, pushing bond yields higher, and the 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.14% from 5.09%. Cleveland-Cliffs jumped 15.8% after reporting a bigger-than-expected quarterly profit, while Brent crude rose 0.2% to $110.12 per barrel. Investors are awaiting Meta Platforms and Lam Research results on Wednesday for more detail on AI spending.

  • AI stocks lead a rebound on Wall Street as European markets drop following protests

    AI stocks bounced back on Wall Street after a steep slide last week, while the rest of the market and global stocks remained shaky. The S&P 500 rose 0.5% and the Nasdaq gained 1.1%, while many European indexes fell more than 1%, including 1.1% in Paris, after weekend protests raised worries about government spending and bond yields. CoreWeave rose 2.8% after tumbling 25.2% last week, and Nvidia added 1.3%. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.14% from 5.09%, after topping 5.30% earlier this month, its highest level since 2002, raising borrowing costs for governments, companies and households. Cleveland-Cliffs jumped 15.8% after reporting a bigger-than-expected quarterly profit, while Brent crude rose 0.2% to $110.12 a barrel.

  • AI stocks lead a rebound on Wall Street as European markets drop following protests

    AI stocks rebounded on Wall Street Monday, recovering some of last week's steep losses, with the S&P 500 up 0.9% and the Nasdaq composite up 1.7%, while most other U.S. stocks fell. European indexes slid more than 1% after weekend protests raised the prospect of bigger government spending, pushing French bond yields up more than German ones. The 10-year Treasury yield edged up to 5.12%, though falling oil prices, with Brent down 1.4% to $108.35 per barrel, helped keep yields in check. Nvidia added 2.1%, CoreWeave rose 2.9% after tumbling 25.2% last week, and SpaceX gained 3.1% to $150.55, while Cleveland-Cliffs jumped 15.1% on a bigger-than-expected profit. Investors now await Wednesday's results from Meta Platforms and Lam Research for more clues on AI spending, while analysts forecast 29% profit growth for S&P 500 companies.

  • Nscale in talks for $45 billion Anthropic AI deal as IPO looms

    Nscale is in talks to secure a computing deal worth about $45 billion with Anthropic, according to Bloomberg News, which could strengthen the Nvidia-backed data center developer's bid for a roughly $30 billion valuation in its planned IPO. The proposed agreement would cover a second building at Nscale's Monarch campus in West Virginia, delivering 460 megawatts of capacity powered by Nvidia's Vera Rubin chips, and could be finalized within days, though terms could still change. Anthropic already has infrastructure agreements with Nscale worth as much as $44.6 billion, according to Nscale's IPO filing, and holds a right of first refusal on the campus's anticipated third building. Investors are scrutinizing AI infrastructure economics, and Nscale faces questions similar to CoreWeave's about financing, execution and converting its backlog into cash flow, since its contracts are future commitments rather than collected cash. Representatives for Nscale and Anthropic declined to comment.

  • Trump says he'd meet with Putin and Xi, criticizes Zelenskyy

    President Donald Trump said he would meet Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss ending the Ukraine war, and suggested such a meeting could happen without Zelenskyy present. He said Russia and China have done 'very little' to help Tehran, which has been accused of receiving their support in its military efforts against the U.S. Trump also criticized Zelenskyy's reaction to his decision to waive new sanctions against Russia, saying Zelenskyy 'doesn't know what he's talking about' and should have settled the war long ago. He added that 'it's time for somebody else to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine,' echoing his earlier call for Kyiv to get a new president.

  • Market participants weigh in on SEC’s proposed crypto regulations

    The SEC will close public comment on its “Regulation Crypto Assets” proposal, first introduced in August, on Tuesday. Over the 60-day period, the agency received about 140 comments on a proposed safe harbor that would keep token issuers from being treated as investment contracts, along with exemptions for offerings up to a set amount. The MiCA Crypto Alliance largely supported the proposed disclosure changes but asked the SEC to better define crypto-specific concepts and data structures. SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci also backed the rules, calling them a return to the Commission’s proper role, though he did not mention Congress’s inaction on the CLARITY Act. Some legal experts warn the rules could be overturned more easily than an act of Congress, and both the SEC and the CFTC remain understaffed at the leadership level.

  • Why Lockheed Martin May Be an Underrated Stock to Buy Right Now

    The article argues that Lockheed Martin (LMT) can withstand market volatility, with its stock up about 15% this year while still offering good value. In 2022, when the market fell, LMT’s total return including dividends was over 40%, compared with a negative 18% for the S&P 500, helped by its close ties to the U.S. government and strong defense spending. In the quarter ended June 28, revenue reached $20.1 billion, up 11% year over year. The stock trades at a forward P/E of about 16, below the S&P 500’s more than 19, and its dividend yields 2.6% versus the index’s roughly 1%. The company has raised its dividend for 24 consecutive years, which the article cites as a reason to hold the stock long term.

  • Canadian dollar notches nearly four - week high on BoC rate hike bets

    The Canadian dollar held most of its gains against the US dollar on Monday, as hawkish remarks from Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem drew more attention than domestic inflation data. The loonie traded 0.3% higher at 1.4095 per US dollar, near its strongest intraday level since September 23. Macklem said the BoC expects to raise its quarterly inflation forecast significantly this month because of persistently high oil and petroleum prices. Swap market data showed about an 80% chance of a BoC rate hike on October 28, up from 30% on Friday, while the benchmark rate has stayed at 2.25% since last October. Canadian bond yields rose across the curve, with the 10-year up 11.1 basis points to 3.940%, as investors also awaited a nonbinding Alberta referendum on secession.

  • Homebuilder Sentiment Drops To Lowest Level Since 2012

    Builder confidence has fallen to its lowest level since 2012, according to the NAHB and Wells Fargo Housing Market Index. Rising mortgage rates and higher energy and material costs have pushed sentiment to a 14-year low, keeping many buyers on the sidelines. The headline index rose one point to 38, still well below the breakeven level of 50, with affordability cited as a top concern for both buyers and builders. Builders also face elevated land, labor and construction costs, while NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz pointed to global events and energy prices as headwinds. He said efforts to ease regulatory burdens could still help improve long-term housing supply.
