Nvidia shares have fallen nearly 6% over the past month, and CNBC host Jim Cramer asked on X why negative news anywhere in tech seems to hit NVDA first. On his show, Cramer said a handful of tech giants, Nvidia included, have grown so powerful that their influence extends beyond their stock prices, likening them to 'nation states.' Nvidia's AI exposure has widened: it disclosed guarantees on certain AI cloud partners' data center leases in case of default and will invest $3 billion in Meta's roughly $37.5 billion equity offering. Its five-year credit default swap stood at 127 basis points on Tuesday, up 226% from 39 at the end of 2025. Shares closed at $215.38 on Tuesday, down 1.17% and 11.5% below their 52-week high of 243.37.

- AI Spending Fears Threaten to Swamp Big Tech’s Strong Earnings
Alphabet, Microsoft and Amazon, part of tech giants valued at more than $10 trillion, are expected to post double-digit percentage revenue growth, but investors will focus on AI spending and when it becomes profitable. Meta shares closed down 6.1% on Thursday, their worst day since July, after the company raised its future spending commitments by $125 billion to $825 billion, and the price of its five-year credit default swaps hit a fresh high. Concerns about debt-financed AI buildout, including comments from CoreWeave and a Gartner estimate that more than $3.5 trillion of AI infrastructure spending could be impaired by 2030, have weighed on sentiment. Anthropic told investors its third-quarter revenue rose about 45% from a year earlier, a slower pace than in the second quarter. The Bloomberg Magnificent Seven Index is up 6.5% this year, trailing the 11% gain in the S&P 500 and the 15% gain in the Nasdaq 100.
- More pain may be coming for the AI trade. Why I’m not giving up on it
The author argues the AI trade is collapsing, using Meta as an example: a large earlier rally has largely faded after the company announced a huge prospective capital raise to fund infrastructure it had expected to self-fund. He asks whether Microsoft, Alphabet or Amazon could face similar pressure, and names consumer staples such as Kimberly-Clark, Coca-Cola and Procter & Gamble as alternatives. The article also cites local opposition to data centers over water use and electricity rates, and Nvidia's support for neoclouds such as CoreWeave, Nebius and Iren, which buy its chips. CoreWeave's stock fell sharply over its high-yield debt, and its ability to service that debt was questioned as funding from the prospective IPOs of Anthropic and OpenAI remained unclear. The author maintains that AI is not going away.

- CoreWeave stock sinks in premarket trading as AI financing worries linger
CoreWeave shares fell as much as 10% in premarket trading on Friday as concerns over AI funding continued to weigh on sentiment. The stock had rebounded from a 7% drop on Thursday after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the company's strength was improving every day and its cost of capital was decreasing, though a viral chart of spiking bond yields has highlighted worries about its debt-heavy balance sheet. Nvidia holds about 47.2 million CoreWeave shares, roughly a 10% stake, and is also a major CoreWeave chip customer. CoreWeave was on track to end the week down 21% as of Thursday's close, while peer Nebius fell 5% in early trading and was also heading for weekly losses.

- Your fridge could one day stake Ether, launch memecoins: CFTC chair
CFTC Chair Michael Selig said autonomous AI agents could challenge financial rules built around human traders, and regulators need to adapt. At the agency's inaugural Frontier Forum in Washington, he offered the example of a refrigerator buying groceries with money earned from staking Ether, or even launching its own memecoin. An eToro survey found that 79% of U.S. millennial investors and 77% of Gen Z investors already used or were open to using AI to select or adjust their investments. Selig raised questions about whether AI agent developers would need to register, who would be liable if an agent went rogue, and whether a new know-your-agent (KYA) standard is needed. He also said AI could help smaller traders access risk management tools, but agents could react unexpectedly, similar models could create correlated trading behavior, and the speed of autonomous transactions could complicate market surveillance.
- Asian currencies mixed as dollar steadies after Fed hold, PCE eyed
Asian currencies traded mixed on Thursday as the dollar steadied after the Fed held rates, with investors awaiting U.S. inflation data and policy decisions in Europe and Japan. The Fed kept its policy rate at 3.75%-4.00% in a 10-2 vote, and Chair Kevin Warsh expressed confidence inflation could return to the 2% target without significantly slowing growth, though he offered little clarity on a possible December hike. Markets still priced a 78% probability of a December increase, according to the CME FedWatch tool. The yen edged higher ahead of the Bank of Japan's decision, expected to keep its rate at 1.25%, while the New Zealand dollar fell as much as 1.7% to around $0.5585 after the RBNZ unexpectedly held its cash rate at 2.75%, before steadying at $0.5622.
- Asia stocks fall as Alphabet, Samsung results disappoint; more tech earnings loom
Asian stocks fell on Thursday as disappointing results from Alphabet and a sell-off in Samsung Electronics weighed on tech shares. Alphabet shares slumped about 10% in after-hours trading after results missed expectations and signalled heavy AI infrastructure spending, while Microsoft gained about 3%. South Korea's KOSPI fell about 3% as Samsung Electronics (KS:005930) dropped nearly 6% despite record third-quarter earnings, on a semiconductor profit miss and no immediate details on extra shareholder returns. Samsung's mobile unit posted an 800 billion won operating loss on higher memory costs. The KOSPI had rallied nearly 7% on Wednesday after SK Hynix (KS:000660) jumped 11% on strong profit and a 100 trillion won ($75 billion) shareholder-return plan.
- Cambodia's gold reserves hit a record high
According to the IMF, Cambodia's official gold reserves reached a record 57.3 tonnes (about 1.84 million ounces) in the first half of 2026, up 5.3% from 54.4 tonnes at end-2025. Holdings stayed near 399,800 ounces from 1998 to mid-2015 before rising steadily. Analyst Chey Tech said the increase reflects confidence in the economy and the riel, and described public debt as manageable, with reported net debt of $13.56 billion in Q2 2026.
- Nvidia Shareholders Have a Major Reason to Be Bullish After Jensen Huang's Latest Announcement
At Nvidia's GTC conference in Berlin from October 20 to 22, CEO Jensen Huang unveiled server racks combining 72 next-generation Vera Rubin GPUs, 256 custom language processing unit chips and Vera CPUs, designed to help data centres become “AI factories”. Nvidia says its sales opportunity per gigawatt of compute has risen from $18 billion with Hopper to $25 billion with Blackwell and $40 billion with Vera Rubin, aided by CPU integration that targets AI inference. Huang estimated a 1-gigawatt AI factory costs operators about $50 billion to set up and could generate roughly $40 billion in annual revenue, while a three-month delay in bringing one online could forfeit $10 billion in potential sales. The article calls this a bullish development for shareholders, though concerns about an AI valuation bubble have caused volatility across the sector.
- Vietnam's public debt is around 34% of GDP
Prime Minister Lê Minh Hưng said at a dialogue with WEF CEO Stephan Mergenthaler at the Autumn Economic Forum 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City on 28 October that Vietnam's public debt is about 34% of GDP, leaving fiscal room to support people and businesses during economic shocks and to fund strategic infrastructure. He outlined five measures to strengthen resilience: keeping political and social stability and macroeconomic fundamentals sound; improving institutions and legal frameworks; building modern infrastructure and promoting science, technology and digital transformation; reforming education and vocational training; and broadening foreign relations. Vietnam aims to become an emerging hub for digital technology, new energy, green energy and green agriculture by 2035, and a reliable link in regional and global supply chains.
