- Bessent Plays Down Concerns Over AI Financing, Fed Rate Policy
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he and his team are monitoring financing for the AI infrastructure build-out and downplayed recent warning signs, arguing that neoclouds, which rent out AI infrastructure, are a small part of the overall ecosystem. He noted that financing deals are still getting done and that Meta is choosing to finance with equity. Bessent reaffirmed his and President Donald Trump's confidence in Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh, said a future rate increase would not necessarily be a policy mistake, and called the energy shock to inflation possibly transitory. Yields on US debt have pulled back from their highest levels in more than two decades, but 10-year rates remain above 5%.

- Big Tech's massive AI spending is causing another problem for investors
Combined share buybacks by Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), Meta (META), Microsoft (MSFT) and Oracle (ORCL) fell to just $4.4 billion in Q3, the lowest since Q3 2017 according to the Kobeissi Letter, and the third straight quarter below $5 billion. That is down 90% from the $45.9 billion peak in Q4 2021. Cash once used for buybacks is being redirected into AI projects, with the five companies' combined capital expenditures tracking toward approximately $800 billion in 2026. Wall Street analysts project that spending will surge past $1.2 trillion in 2027.
- JPMorgan Chase & Co. Warns a Rapid Rate Rise Could Shake the Financial System
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) says a rapid rise in interest rates is a broader risk to the financial system, because some institutions may be unable to adjust their balance sheets quickly, which could weaken confidence and intensify competition for funding. Charles Bristow, the bank's head of treasury and chief investment officer, said the bank has stress-tested its balance sheet against higher rates and that the market was pricing just over two rate hikes through 2027. Medium-term rate forwards have risen to around 5% from 3% about four years ago, and JPMorgan has generally avoided longer-dated investments. Bristow also said liquidity is a binding constraint across the banking system and that the sustainable dividend remains the bank's primary capital-return commitment.

- Solana Labs’ Leap Launches Mobile App for Trading Tokenized Stocks and Crypto
Leap, a new company under Solana Labs, launched a beta mobile app that lets users trade tokenized stocks, ETFs, metals, currencies and crypto in one place, around the clock and subject to restrictions. It is available in early access on iPhone via TestFlight, with Android coming soon, and is not offered in the U.K. or other restricted regions. Pitched as an alternative to fast meme coin trading, the app pins market-moving news to price charts, tracks profit and loss, and executes trades as onchain swaps routed through Jupiter. Leap charges no fees at launch but plans to use future fees to buy and burn SOL and fund a referral program, in which early Founders Club members would earn 30% of trading fees from users they invite. The launch comes as tokenized stocks gain traction, though 56 companies have objected to having their shares traded on the tokenized stock venue planned by OKX and ICE.
