Meta announced several stock offerings this week, including a $22.5 billion offering upsized to $25 billion, plans to sell $12.5 billion of preferred stock, and $60 billion of new non-voting Class C stock, totaling $97.5 billion. The move comes amid investor concern over rising interest rates and a tight credit market, after CoreWeave's bond yields reached as high as 15%, which triggered a sell-off in neocloud and AI infrastructure stocks such as Oracle. Media reports said the offering was oversubscribed five times, meaning Meta could have sold $125 billion of stock, with Nvidia and AMD among the investors. The article argues this demand signals strong funding for AI and notes Meta trades at a P/E of around 21 after its post-earnings sell-off. It also suggests some of that money could go to Anthropic's planned IPO at a valuation of around $2 trillion next month.

- Anthropic in talks with neocloud Nscale over second multibillion-dollar deal, source tells CNBC
According to a person familiar with the matter, Anthropic is in talks with U.K. neocloud Nscale for a second multibillion-dollar deal to lease computing capacity at a West Virginia site, covering another 460-megawatt data center. The deal could be worth around $45 billion, following a first deal that CNBC reported in August. Anthropic declined to comment, and CNBC has approached Nscale for comment. Rival neoclouds CoreWeave and Nebius have seen their shares fall 28% and 27% in the past month over borrowing concerns, while Nscale faces a report that Microsoft pulled out of a London data center deal over grid delays. Nscale said it remains committed to the project and is exploring alternative power sources, and it filed to list on the NYSE in September.

- Meta's $97.5B AI money grab: why Zuckerberg is racing to raise cash before rivals
Meta priced a $37.5 billion offering of $25 billion in Class A common stock at $625 per share (up from $22.5 billion) and $12.5 billion of mandatory convertible preferred stock paying a 6.50% annual dividend. It also plans an at-the-market share sale program of up to $60 billion, not expected to start before Q1 2027, when its non-voting Class C shares are expected to begin trading, bringing the potential total to $97.5 billion. The article says Meta is moving early as competition for AI funding intensifies, with rivals such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Alphabet and SpaceX pursuing large AI plans and Anthropic possibly raising up to $100 billion in its IPO. According to the piece, this is a strategy rather than a sign of running out of money, aimed at keeping funding from constraining its AI ambitions.

- Mr Hunter Lê Khắc Ngọ requests re-appraisal of 143 seized gold pieces
At a trial over the fraud case led by Mr Pips, Lê Khắc Ngọ (Mr Hunter) asked for the 143 seized gold pieces to be re-appraised at current value, about 600 billion dong, so they can be converted to pay compensation. Prosecutors determined he is responsible for 287 cases totalling over 339 billion dong within a forex stock fraud ring that took more than 1,500 billion dong. Ngọ said the gold was commission he received while working in the ring, that he took gold instead of cash, and he asked the court to clarify the money-laundering allegation linked to it. He also proposed using the gold to pay restitution for himself and for administrative, IT and sales staff in the group, with any surplus to be surrendered to the state.

- President Putin Makes Surprise Announcement: Russia and US Explore Cooperation in One of the World's Most Resource-Rich Regions
Speaking at the 8th summit of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) in Moscow on 27 October, President Putin said Russia is ready to work with partners genuinely interested in joint projects and is exploring cooperation with US partners in the Arctic. The New York Times reported that the two sides are considering Polar LNG, a project using Russian technology to extract, liquefy and export natural gas from Alaska, with Novatek considering a minority stake. The project is notable because Novatek has extensive Arctic LNG experience, though the company behind Arctic LNG 2 is under US sanctions. Meanwhile, Kiev has criticized the diesel deal between Russia and the US, while the EU says it maintains sanctions pressure and continues to reduce its dependence on Russian energy.
