US stocks rebounded from the recent tech selloff, with the S&P 500 at 7,745, the Dow up 1.08% at 51,178 and the Russell 2000 up 1.37%, while tech stayed under pressure after South Korea's KOSPI fell 7.5% overnight.

The Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted and destroyed a Houthi-launched drone heading toward southern Saudi Arabia, and Saudi Arabia reportedly asked Oman to arrange new talks between the Houthis and the Yemeni government.
- Jim Cramer says don't give up on this unpredictable market. Here's why
Cramer urges investors not to give up on the market now, warning they could miss the next rally since most gains come in a few key trading days. On Wednesday, the S&P 500 fell just over 1%, the Nasdaq dropped 1.9%, and the Dow closed slightly lower. According to JPMorgan, an investor who missed the 10 best trading days between 2005 and 2024 would have ended with less than half the wealth of a fully invested peer. Cramer said uncertainty over inflation, interest rates and the war with Iran makes the market hard to call; September CPI rose 0.6%, slightly above expectations, briefly lifting Treasury yields before they reversed. Even solid earnings from Morgan Stanley and ASML failed to lift their shares, which fell nearly 3% and 4%.

- Not Bitcoin. Not Ethereum. This Once-Popular Cryptocurrency Could Be the Biggest Winner of 2027.
The author argues Cardano (ADA) could rebound strongly in 2027 after falling another 40% in 2026. Five years ago it ranked fourth among cryptocurrencies with a market cap of $70 billion, but it now trades at about $0.21, with a market cap below $8 billion and outside the top 10. Cited factors include the “Cardano 2030 Strategic Framework,” which sets DeFi growth goals, and co-founder Charles Hoskinson's work on a new programming language that could open opportunities in AI. Comparing it with Solana, which lost 94% of its value in 2022 and rose 924% the following year, the author says a return to $1, where Cardano traded as recently as January 2025, would not be surprising, though he acknowledges it is a risky bet.
- Bau Duc Sets Up ESG Committee With 2 PhDs, 3 Master's Holders: 'Running Large-Scale Agriculture Like HAGL Without This Is Not Sound'
On October 22, HAGL's Board of Directors set up an ESG Sustainable Development Committee of six members, led by General Director Nguyen Xuan Thang as Head, including 2 PhDs and 3 master's holders in agriculture and finance. The committee will steer, coordinate and oversee the group's environmental, social and governance commitments. Chairman Doan Nguyen Duc said large-scale agricultural companies cannot stay outside ESG, as foreign investors, domestic banks and funds increasingly focus on environmental issues. In the first half of 2026, HAGL recorded revenue of VND 3,039 billion, down 18%, while profit after tax reached VND 2,204 billion, up 150.5%. The company holds about 30,000 ha of agricultural land and plans to plant 7,000 ha of coffee in 2026.
- Nvidia launches Minerva AIOps platform for AI factory observability
Nvidia has launched Minerva, an AIOps platform that provides end-to-end observability across AI factory infrastructure and workloads within its Vera Rubin platform. It collects telemetry from GPUs, networking, switches, schedulers and AI workloads, and uses a knowledge graph to trace slow jobs to the faulty component. Minerva processes billions of telemetry data points per hour, consolidates alerts into incidents with probable root causes, and includes a natural-language AI assistant. IREN is already using it, while Aolani, Bitdeer AI, IBM, Jio, Lambda, Quake AI and Tesla plan to deploy it, and Dell Technologies, Lenovo and Supermicro will integrate it into their offerings.
- 'Big Short' Investor Michael Burry Bumps Up Substack Subscription Price, Flags 4 'Busted' Bear-Market Havens
Michael Burry's Substack, Cassandra Unchained, plans to raise its monthly fee from $49 to $69 and annual fee from $479 to $679 from Nov. 1. It shows over 342,000 subscribers, up from 300,044 in July; if all paid the new annual fee, gross revenue would reach $232.2 million, though free readers and existing lower rates mean actual revenue is undisclosed. Burry highlighted Adobe (ADBE), Fiserv (FISV), Birkenstock (BIRK) and QXO as 'busted' stocks that could be a haven in a prolonged bear market, with ADBE, FISV and BIRK gaining 6.1%, 5.4% and 4.2% on Thursday as the SPY and QQQ fell 1.2% and 2.9%. He also warned a FASB proposal could force Nvidia to deduct circular revenue, with comments open until Nov. 23.
- Malaysia, Thailand join Singapore’s cross-border stablecoin push

- If the AI Bubble Bursts, These Stocks Will Be Winners
AI-linked stocks came under pressure, with CoreWeave falling to its lowest level since its IPO after its bond yields jumped as high as 15%, the Nasdaq Composite dropping 2.6% on Thursday, and Meta tumbling 7% despite a strong earnings report over its first quarter of negative free cash flow in its history, reflecting heavy AI infrastructure spending. Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury yield fell 3.8% to 4.95%, and homebuilder stocks rose, with the State Street SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB) up 3.8% and Pool Corporation, RH and Lennar gaining 14.4%, 9.5% and 9%. Investors now see a 93% chance the Fed holds rates steady at 375-400 basis points, though rates are still expected to rise over the next year. The author says he is not ready to call an AI bubble, since demand for AI compute remains strong, but argues that investors with AI gains may consider shifting some into homebuilder or home furnishing stocks, with the outlook depending on inflation and interest rates.
