- Rewarded for total failure
Michael Roberts' critique argues that this year's Nobel economics prize, awarded to Robert Hall and Michael Woodford for models helping governments and central banks stabilise the economy, is unwarranted. The Nobel Academy claimed their models provide a stable theoretical foundation and help smooth economic peaks and troughs, but the author questions whether these models have actually improved policy decisions. He traces the New Keynesian school to the failure of Keynesian macro-management in the 1970s and its shift to microfoundations and DSGE models. Roberts argues these models failed to predict the great recession (2007-09) and could not explain the weak recovery that followed.
- Commentary : The Nobel Prize in economics is a message to the Fed
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Prize in economics to Michael Woodford and Robert Hall, whose work helped establish forward guidance at central banks. The commentary contrasts this with Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, who has cut the size of post-meeting statements, shortened press conferences, declined to explain the Fed's reaction function, and declined to participate in the Summary of Economic Projections. Woodford's research shows communication lets markets price in policy in advance, as seen in the Fed's 2003 sentence that policy accommodation could be maintained for a considerable period, when the funds rate was 1% and 10-year yields had not responded. Under Ben Bernanke, guidance extended to mid-2013, which Woodford criticized for its 'fine print' escape hatches; he proposed a nominal GDP target, and the Fed moved toward a threshold target in late 2012. With inflation above the 2% target for six years, the author argues the SEP should be improved, such as by linking individual policymakers' rate projections to their forecasts rather than focusing on the median.
- EDITORIAL: The art of economic policy
The editorial examines the research of this year's Nobel economics laureates, Robert E. Hall and Michael Woodford, which shows that stabilization policy depends on household and firm expectations as well as how central banks communicate with the public. Hall found that spending depends on expectations of one's financial situation rather than only current income, and that lower-income households spend a larger share of income gains, so targeted support could be more effective. Woodford found that firms set prices based on future costs and competitors' prices, and his work provided the basis for the forward guidance used by many central banks. The editorial argues this research is valuable for central banks and Taiwan's policymakers, and that it contradicts Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's plan to end forward guidance and shorten post-meeting statements and news conferences.

- Want Decades of Passive Income? 3 Energy Stocks to Buy Right Now, Starting With Energy Transfer.
The article argues dividend stocks can play a major role in long-term investor returns, citing Hartford Funds and Ned Davis Research findings that reinvested dividends account for 85% of the S&P 500's cumulative return since 1960. It highlights three energy stocks: Energy Transfer (ET), Enbridge (ENB) and ExxonMobil (XOM). Energy Transfer operates over 140,000 miles of pipeline across 44 states, with 90% of its projected earnings this year coming from long-term, fee-based contracts, and a 6.6% distribution yield. Enbridge has raised its dividend for 31 consecutive years and returned 38 billion Canadian dollars to shareholders over the past 5 years. ExxonMobil has grown its dividend for 43 years, with breakeven costs of about $40 per barrel on its advantaged assets and a goal of lowering costs to $30 per barrel by 2030.
- Pictured: Nvidia boss ‘targeted by Chinese spy’
According to US intelligence officials, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was courted by Alice Huang, a senior executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, whom US officials believe passed information to Chinese intelligence agencies. The New York Times reported that Donald Trump was briefed on the matter, and Jensen Huang has been photographed with Alice Huang at events in Taiwan. A report by short-seller Culper described the two as “very close,” while Nvidia said the interactions were “not unusual or unexpected.” Megaspeed is one of Nvidia's biggest Asian customers, and officials are investigating whether it helped Chinese companies evade US chip export controls; Nvidia says those claims were “thoroughly investigated and debunked.” In January, Trump partially reversed the export ban, allowing sales of less powerful Nvidia AI chips while imposing a 25% tariff on sales to Chinese customers.
- Why Did Honeywell Aerospace Stock Drop on Thursday?
Honeywell Aerospace (HONA) shares fell 10.5% by 10:30 a.m. ET Thursday, despite beating Q3 expectations with earnings of $2.21 per share on more than $4.6 billion in sales, versus analyst forecasts of $1.86 per share. Sales rose only 2% year over year and net profit 1%, though commercial original equipment sales grew 7% on higher aircraft production, a segment that is its smallest. Commercial aftermarket sales grew 2%, while defense and space grew 1%. The company has won more than $20 billion in new contracts this year, a book-to-bill ratio of about 1.5x, but its annualized free cash flow is only about $2.6 billion. At 20x free cash flow, the article argues Honeywell needs to grow faster to justify its premium valuation.
- Walmart Blocks Its Stock From OKX-ICE Tokenized Trading Venue
Walmart, Eli Lilly, Cigna Group, Carnival and Arcos Dorados have objected to their shares being offered on OKXICE TSV, raising the total number of objecting companies to 38 from nine initially and extending the pushback into retail, health care and travel. Under the SEC's innovation exemption, if a company objects in writing within 30 days, the venue cannot make a tokenized version of its stock available for trading. OKXICE TSV, a 50-50 joint venture of Intercontinental Exchange and OKX, plans to let approved users trade tokenized U.S. stocks 24/7 on the XLayer blockchain; the exemption caps it at 75 of the largest stocks, limited to 0.25% of each stock's average daily volume, and up to 250 others at 2.5%. Major names such as Nvidia, Tesla, Apple and Amazon have not objected yet, so the list may still change.

- ServiceNow shares plunge 24% after earnings revive AI disruption fears
ServiceNow shares fell 24% on Thursday, heading for their worst day ever, after third-quarter results revived fears that AI could disrupt traditional software business models. Revenue rose more than 20% to $4.11 billion, roughly in line with the $4.10 billion estimate, while adjusted EPS of $1.00 fell short of the $1.02 forecast. The company slightly lifted its 2026 subscription revenue outlook to between $15.78 billion and $15.79 billion, and net new AI average contract value jumped 65%. Citi's Tyler Radke said investors wanted quicker payoffs from the newly formed forward-deployed engineering team and that the inflection may not come until next year.
