Asked about reports that Deep Seek and Huawei are collaborating on chip designs, Nvidia's Jensen Huang said the company should always take China seriously. He pointed to China's ability to manufacture chips, open models and AI researchers at scale, while saying US frontier labs, chips and infrastructure are the world's best and must stay ahead through innovation. On whether Washington is listening ahead of the midterms, Huang said some lawmakers are, and that the US government encourages companies to compete globally. He said American firms should compete to supply infrastructure for European countries and the Global South, citing Africa, Central Asia, Brazil and Egypt.

- Chinese Tech Giants Order $35 Billion In Compliant Nvidia Chips
Two sources told Reuters that ByteDance, Alibaba and Tencent have ordered more than 3 million RTX PRO 5500 cards from Nvidia, worth over $35 billion at about $11,400 each. The workstation chip is less powerful than the H200 and B300 data center chips, but it is among the most powerful Nvidia chips Chinese buyers can still obtain. Nvidia may not fill all orders: partners might get only 5% to 10% of what they asked for, total Chinese orders have topped 6 million cards, and one source said Nvidia could make no more than 3 million cards globally in 2027. Early samples are expected in December, with commercial deliveries starting in the first quarter of 2027, mainly for AI inference. Nvidia blamed outdated US export controls and China's own limit on US imports, and its outlook does not include any China data center compute revenue.

- DeepSeek teams up with Huawei to challenge Nvidia
DeepSeek is working with Huawei Technologies to design AI chips tailored to its models, with Huawei engineers stationed at its offices to incorporate feedback. DeepSeek plans to use Huawei's Ascend 950DT chips for model training as soon as the end of 2026, and Huawei plans to prioritize DeepSeek for most of its Ascend 960DT chips expected in the first quarter of 2027. According to Epoch AI, Nvidia's B300 delivers roughly seven times the raw arithmetic performance of Huawei's Ascend 950, and training a frontier model could require more than 10,000 Huawei chips working together for weeks. DeepSeek is also using the open-source TileLang to reduce reliance on Nvidia's CUDA ecosystem, while still seeking access to Nvidia's advanced processors. If the collaboration succeeds, it could offer a blueprint for other AI developers and a major step in reducing China's dependence on US technology.
- Taiwan to curb AI chip sales to China for more U.S. alignment- Bloomberg
Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter, that Taiwan is considering much stricter export controls on AI chip sales to China as part of closer alignment with the U.S. The measures aim to curb chip smuggling by giving authorities more legal tools against diversion of advanced hardware, mainly AI servers with Nvidia chips, from Taiwan to China. Such a move could provoke more anger from Beijing, which has already opposed U.S. AI chip export restrictions imposed in 2022, while Nvidia chips still reportedly reach China via smuggling through Southeast Asia. The article also cites a major U.S. Department of Justice case this year, in which Super Micro Computer employees were implicated in allegedly smuggling at least $2.5 billion worth of Nvidia chips into China, and co-founder Yih-Shyan Liaw was arrested.
- Nvidia Reportedly Just Landed $35 Billion In Chip Orders From Chinese Companies. Here's Why That Could Be Great News for the Stock
Reuters, citing anonymous sources, reported that Chinese companies including ByteDance, Alibaba and Tencent ordered more than 3 million Nvidia Blackwell chips, worth a collective $35 billion. Nvidia's guidance, including projected third-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of around $108 billion, has not included potential sales to Chinese companies. However, one source told Reuters Nvidia may fill only 5% to 10% of these orders, with capacity of at most 3 million Blackwell chips globally in 2027. The stock, which has fallen over 9% recently amid AI concerns and carries a roughly $5.2 trillion market cap, rose only marginally on the news.

- Prediction: SoFi Stock Gains at Least 50% by the End of 2030
SoFi Technologies shares have fallen more than 50% from last November's peak and recently hit a new 52-week low. The decline follows the loss of a technology platform customer, Chime, which cut that segment's first-quarter revenue by 27% year over year, along with a weak market and deteriorating credit conditions. The author argues the long-term picture is stronger: second-quarter revenue rose 40% to $1.2 billion, EBITDA grew 44%, and customers reached a record 15.8 million, up 35% from a year earlier. Morningstar expects per-share profit to rise from $0.62 this year to $1.71 in 2030; at 15 times that figure, the stock would be worth just above $25, nearly 80% above its current price. The article cautions that shares could fall before they rise.
- The 5 Most Important Numbers From SpaceX’s Earnings
SpaceX's third-quarter results beat analyst expectations, with revenue of $14.6 billion nearly doubling from the prior quarter and operating income reaching $2.8 billion versus a $273 million loss a year earlier. The AI segment, now called Super Intelligence, generated $7.6 billion, more than half of revenue, including about $600 million from Cursor. Starlink added 1.6 million consumer subscribers to reach 13.6 million, though revenue per customer fell to $69 a month from $83 as it expands into cheaper markets. Compute capacity surpassed 1.7 gigawatts, but capex hit $19.6 billion, $16.4 billion of it for AI, and 2026 capital spending has exceeded operating cash flow by about $35 billion. The stock trades at 93 times forward earnings, and Musk's earlier goal of closer to 10 GW than 5 GW by the end of 2027 could push capex higher.
- Tokenized stock trading takes off overseas as Goldman, other U.S. companies object
Tokenized stock trading is growing fast overseas, according to Bitwise's latest quarterly report, with volume on Robinhood Chain rising from $526 million in July to $11.31 billion in September. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Alphabet and other large U.S. companies have objected to having their shares traded as tokens on the OKXICE venue, bringing the total number of objectors to 16 as of Wednesday. The debate centers on whether token holders should receive the same economic and voting rights as shareholders, and the SEC's new U.S. pathway requires issuers to be able to object. ClearStreet analyst Owen Lau said some companies may eventually embrace tokenization for a broader investor base and 24/7 trading, while an Injective executive argued that until issuers see clear benefits, growth will keep happening abroad.

DEG will also provide technical assistance to upgrade TPBank's environmental and social risk management system. The deal is DEG's second investment in TPBank, and it follows TPBank's earlier raising of US$220 million in long-term loans from DFC and JICA.
- Ken Griffin: There Are “Almost Certainly Bubbles” in AI Right Now
Citadel founder and CEO Ken Griffin said on October 20, 2026, at the firm's Future of Global Markets Conference in New York that investors are 'almost certainly' in an AI bubble. He argued that radical economic change is generally tied to bubbles, and that the companies that survive become market leaders for decades. He also warned that corporate America has been uneven in extracting value from AI models, and said agentic tools cut some Citadel research from 6-8 weeks to 2-3 hours. NVIDIA ended at $216.47 and QQQ slid 0.10%, a muted market reaction.
