The Sensex fell over 300 points and the Nifty opened below 22,690 as Brent crude traded near US$114.91 per barrel, with investors cautious ahead of the US Federal Reserve's decision later this week. Analysts said elevated crude could raise input and transport costs, pressure corporate margins and widen India's import bill. Geojit's VK Vijayakumar said Brent above US$114 and the US 10-year yield near 4.97% remain near-term headwinds, and that FIIs will stay in risk-off mode, though strong Q2 earnings and domestic inflows will support the market. Analyst Vipin Dixena flagged resistance at 22,875-23,000 and support around 22,500, followed by 22,250.

- RBI Rs 2 . 5 lakh crore liquidity infusion raises questions over tightening policy signal : SBI Report
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) injected Rs 2.5 lakh crore into the banking system through repo auctions, raising questions from the State Bank of India (SBI) about its liquidity management while the central bank pursues a calibrated tightening stance to address inflation. In its Ecowrap report, SBI said the RBI moved its operating rate to the upper end of the policy corridor, but found the liquidity injection hard to reconcile with its focus on controlling inflation. The RBI also cancelled all Treasury bill auctions. SBI expects Indian government bond yields to stay elevated due to high crude oil prices, noting the spread against US Treasury yields reached 250 basis points. SBI also continued to advocate widening the LAF corridor, arguing it could act as an automatic stabiliser during periods of uncertainty.

- Oil , foreign flows in focus for rupee ; bond traders eye rate - hike bets
The Indian rupee is expected to hold steady in a holiday-shortened week, with oil prices and foreign portfolio flows in focus. Last week it gained 2%, its best week since March, closing at 94.96 on Friday after the Reserve Bank of India rolled out measures to support the currency. Traders see the rupee trading between 94–95.50 in the near term. Indian government bonds may face mild selling as fears of a bigger rate hike grow, with the 10-year yield, which ended at 7.3789% after a ninth straight weekly rise, expected to move between 7.32% and 7.42%. Following hawkish comments from Governor Sanjay Malhotra, calls for a 50-bps rate hike in December have increased.

- How Many AGNC Shares It Takes to Earn $500 a Month in Dividends
AGNC Investment currently yields 16.3%, more than 10 times the 1.1% yield of the S&P 500. At its monthly dividend of $0.12 per share, roughly 4,167 shares (about $36,667 at the recent price) would generate $500 a month, whereas an S&P 500 index fund would require about $571,429 for the same income, meaning AGNC needs 94% less capital. The article stresses the risks: AGNC invests on a leveraged basis in agency MBS guaranteed against credit losses by government agencies like Fannie Mae, and it has cut its dividend before, most recently in 2020 from $0.16 per share to the current rate. CEO Peter Federico said returns currently exceed costs, so the dividend is supported for now, but the article argues the income is not reliable and should make up only a very small share of an overall portfolio.
- Copper Is Priced Like an AI Stock Now. What the Sell-off Means for Freeport-McMoRan.
Copper is essential to energy infrastructure and increasingly to data centers, where AI clusters can require up to 10 times the electrical power of traditional cloud infrastructure. Because copper stocks such as Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) are tied to the power grid and data center hardware, they have moved in step with AI stocks; the stock is down 18% from its recent high but still up 30% year to date. Spot copper prices have risen 71% since the start of 2024, from $3.90 per pound to $6.67 per pound, as hyperscalers invest heavily in data centers. In the third quarter, Freeport's operating income grew 19% to $2.4 billion on sales of 749 million pounds of copper at an average realized price of $6.54 per pound, and the company expects copper sales to rise another 17% in the fourth quarter. Freeport targets annual copper sales of 4.5 billion to 5 billion pounds by 2030, and the article says the company should keep benefiting from data center growth and grid build-out, though volatility may persist as investors scrutinize hyperscaler capital expenditures.
- Could Apple's Latest iPhone Be Its Biggest Growth Catalyst in Years?
Apple has launched the iPhone Duo, its first foldable smartphone, with a starting price of about 2,000 USD. Some estimates put shipments through the end of 2026 at 6 million to 10 million units, or roughly 12 billion to 20 billion USD in revenue, with the lower end equal to 22% of Apple's latest quarterly iPhone revenue. The author notes the device may cannibalize sales of other iPhone models but could also attract buyers from rival brands, and even if every base iPhone Duo replaced an iPhone 18 Pro, revenue could still rise by about 4.8 billion USD. Foldables make up only about 2% of the smartphone market, which the author sees as room for growth. Despite supply constraints and reports of rare cracked screens, the author remains positive on Apple's long-term outlook.
- GE & GM Earnings, Plus Deals, Deals, Deals
On the Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing podcast, contributors discussed GE Aerospace and General Motors earnings amid high fuel prices, plus Salesforce's deal for Braze and Tradeweb's acquisition of Trumid. GE Aerospace beat expectations led by engines, with engine earnings 7% above consensus, spare parts up 20% and services up 17%. Although it raised full-year earnings guidance, the implied fourth-quarter outlook sits below consensus, which the guests see as a sign the cycle is in its late stage. They expect airlines may cut flight frequency to reduce maintenance costs, which would weigh on MRO providers, though freighter conversions could still support demand. The discussion of GM is cut off in the provided content.
- Why Did Alphabet (GOOGL) Shares Fall After Its $500 Billion Value Wipeout?
Alphabet (GOOGL) shares fell more than 12% after its Q3 update, wiping about 500 billion USD from its market value. Investors reacted to slower-than-expected trends in core search and advertising, along with heavy AI and data center spending that pushed free cash flow to a loss of 9.1 billion USD. Q3 sales reached 127.6 billion USD, but net income fell to 26.5 billion USD. The article says the AI-driven growth story remains intact but highlights the risk that large AI capital spending could pressure cash flow if server paybacks and TPU monetization take longer than expected. Key signals to watch include whether Google Cloud and AI revenues grow faster than AI capex and whether free cash flow improves.
- Warren Buffett's Apple Bet Is Still Berkshire Hathaway's Biggest Stock Holding at 22% of the Portfolio
Berkshire Hathaway cut its Apple stake by about 75%, from roughly 915 million shares in mid-2023 to 227.9 million shares by the end of June, worth about USD 66 billion and still around 22% of its portfolio. The author argues the sizable remaining stake reflects confidence from Warren Buffett and new CEO Greg Abel, citing Apple's record fiscal third-quarter revenue of USD 109.4 billion, up 16%, and Services revenue of USD 30.7 billion. The reduction is described as portfolio discipline, since Buffett said he sold too soon and would buy much more at the right price. Berkshire also bought about USD 17 billion of Alphabet stock in the second quarter and has not sold Apple shares since the end of 2025. Apple guided for 9% to 11% revenue growth in the September quarter, slower than the 16% in June, while the stock is near a record.
