- U.S. stocks join global retreat as war drums start beating again

The S&P 500 dropped 93.78 points (1.21%) to 7,663.39, and the Nasdaq Composite lost 694.00 points (2.60%) to 26,008.86, while the Dow edged up 10.76 points (0.02%) to 52,866.85.

- Nasdaq Futures Rise Premarket As SpaceX AI Boom Lifts Chip Stocks: SMCI, TSLA, META, IBM, CRWV, NFLX, BE In Focus
U.S. stock futures were mixed before the open on Wednesday, with Nasdaq futures up 0.7% and S&P 500 futures up 0.2%, after a prior-session recovery led by SpaceX’s earnings and Super Micro’s raised outlook. Brent crude rose above $110 per barrel as reports said Iran’s Revolutionary Guards had blocked tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, and the U.S. acknowledged a peace deal remains “difficult.” SpaceX shares jumped 9% premarket after its first quarterly profit since going public in June, while Super Micro rose 16% after lifting its preliminary Q1 revenue guidance to $18.5 billion-$19.5 billion. Netflix fell 6% after cutting its full-year free cash flow and advertising revenue guidance, despite a Q3 profit beat. Tesla rose 3% ahead of its earnings report due after the close.
- Oil Prices Are Back Above $100 . History Says the Biggest Stock Market Loser May Now Offer the Biggest Upside .
Oil prices have mostly stayed above $100 a barrel due to supply concerns tied to the Iran war, and energy is the best-performing S&P 500 sector this year with a gain of more than 50%. The author argues energy stocks may have limited upside unless oil keeps rising, since they tend to move with oil, and believes oil is more likely to fall once the conflict is resolved, with annualized inflation at 3.7% in September. Instead, the article favors consumer discretionary stocks, the worst-performing sector this year with a 7% loss, trailing the S&P 500 by roughly 20 percentage points amid near-record-low consumer sentiment and affordability pressures. It points to 2022, when Brent crude rose 35% while the consumer discretionary ETF fell 36%, and 2023, when Brent finished about 3% lower while the sector gained around 40%, as a recent precedent for a rebound if the war ends and inflation cools. The author stresses this is not a prediction, but XLY could offer one of the better long-term opportunities for outperformance.
- Oil Prices Are Back Above $100. History Says the Biggest Stock Market Loser May Now Offer the Biggest Upside.
Oil has mostly stayed above $100 a barrel over the past month because of the Iran war, and energy is the best-performing S&P 500 sector this year with a gain of more than 50%. The author argues energy stocks have limited upside unless oil keeps rising, and believes oil's next big move is lower once the conflict ends, with annualized inflation at 3.7% in September and prices driven by supply concerns rather than demand. Instead, the article points to consumer discretionary stocks (XLY), this year's worst sector with a 7% loss, which fell 36% in 2022 when Brent rose 35% but gained around 40% in 2023 as Brent finished down about 3%. The author stresses this is not a prediction that the pattern will repeat.

- Billionaire Ken Griffin Is Buying This Dividend King That Wall Street Still Rates a Buy
Citadel Advisors, the hedge fund led by billionaire Ken Griffin, has been increasing its stake in AbbVie (ABBV) in recent months.

The company has a strong brand lineup including Skyrizi, Rinvoq, Humira and Botox, and about 90 drugs and treatments in development; the FDA approved its once-daily Parkinson's pill Juvmo in September, and William Blair analysts expect its sales could reach as much as $1.4 billion annually by 2040.

- Houthis resume attacks on Saudi airports and oil facilities
The Houthis in Yemen said they launched 7 ballistic missile and drone attacks on airports, air bases and oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, including King Khalid airport in Riyadh, the Rabigh refinery and Saudi Aramco sites. According to spokesman Yahya Saree, the attacks respond to Saudi operations in Yemen, where a Riyadh-led coalition carried out 100 airstrikes in 24 hours, and the group will continue until military operations end and restrictions on travel and cargo into Yemen are lifted. The attack came as Riyadh's main aviation hub prepared to partially reopen from October 25 after more than two weeks of disruption, and the Houthis warned airlines and passengers against using it. The group denied targeting Mecca and Medina, while Saudi civil defense said debris from intercepting two ballistic missiles fell in Mecca, Jeddah, Taif and Rabigh. Fighting escalated again in September 2026 after a UN-brokered truce from 2022.
- Former ‘Mekong Delta fuel tycoon’ stripped of public company status, to delist from UPCoM from 29/10
HNX has decided to cancel the trading registration for about 126.2 million PSH shares of Nam Song Hau Petroleum Investment Trading JSC (NSH Petro) on UPCoM, with 28/10 as the last trading day and delisting effective 29/10. The move follows the State Securities Commission's (SSC) 14/10/2026 letter revoking PSH's public company status. Before this, PSH had received a warning, trading restrictions, and a trading suspension, and was fined VND 92.5 million on 06/10 for delayed disclosure of multiple documents. The company had been hit by a tax penalty with invoice enforcement since late 2023, and its tax debt was still over 1.25 thousand billion VND at the end of 2025; without invoices, it could not operate and its revenue kept falling. According to filings, PSH posted a consolidated after-tax loss of nearly VND 301 billion in Q2/2026, up from a loss of over VND 158 billion a year earlier, while the parent company again reported no revenue.
