- Markets today : Wall Street AI stocks rebound , Europe falls ; ASX set to decline
AI stocks rebounded on Wall Street to recover some of last week's steep losses, with the S&P 500 up 0.5% and the Nasdaq up 1.1%, though most US stocks outside tech were falling. Australian share futures pointed to a 0.8% fall at the ASX open, while several European indexes dropped more than 1% after weekend protests raised the prospect of higher government spending and bond market pressure. AI stocks had slumped last week over worries about expensive borrowing, and the 10-year Treasury yield, at 5.14%, had topped 5.30% earlier this month. Brent crude rose 0.2% to $110.12 a barrel, and South Korea's Kospi jumped 1.8% to recover part of its 14.5% drop from last week.

- When Interest Rates Move, These 7 Income Stocks React Very Differently
The 10-year Treasury yield is now over 5%, near its highest level in a quarter century, up from about 4% before the war with Iran began. Mortgage REITs AGNC (yield near 17%) and Annaly (over 16%) are among the most rate-sensitive because they borrow short-term to fund long-term investments, and both shares have fallen sharply. Coca-Cola (about 2.3%) is far less sensitive, with mostly long-term fixed-rate debt and pricing power, and its shares have risen more than 30% this year. Energy Transfer (about 6.7%) and Enterprise Products Partners (about 6.1%) have mixed sensitivity, partly offset by higher oil and gas prices. Realty Income (5.9%) and VICI Properties (about 7.9%) are less rate-sensitive than mortgage REITs, and Realty Income mitigates its impact through private capital partnerships.
- Why Klaviyo Stock Rallied Today
Klaviyo (KVYO) shares jumped Tuesday morning, rising as much as 11.8% in early trading and 11.6% at 1:13 p.m. ET. The rally followed Salesforce's agreement to acquire rival Braze (BRZE) for $47.50 per share in cash, a deal valuing Braze at $5.66 billion and representing a 58% premium to Monday's close. The article argues investors see the premium as validation of Klaviyo's approach, even though Braze targets mobile apps while Klaviyo serves e-commerce direct-to-consumer marketing. Under Salesforce, Braze may shift toward enterprise customers, reducing overlap and possibly making Klaviyo a takeover target, and the article notes Klaviyo trades at 23 times forward earnings.
- Not Micron. Not Sandisk. This Storage Stock Is Riding the Same AI Infrastructure Wave.
The article argues that Western Digital (WDC), which makes high-capacity hard disk drives for cloud computing companies, is an important but less-noticed part of AI infrastructure alongside Micron and Sandisk. A May customer survey found 87% of respondents prioritized expanding storage capacity and lowering total ownership costs, and 70% of those who knew their storage mix said hard drives made up more than half of their capacity. Western Digital has a roadmap for drives above 100 terabytes, and a 40-terabyte drive is undergoing customer qualification. For fiscal Q4, revenue was $3.75 billion, up 44% year over year; GAAP net income of $3.19 billion included a $2.05 billion gain tied to Sandisk, while adjusted net income was $1.38 billion, up 130%. The stock is up 105% so far this year.

Viconship (VSC) appears for the first time on the list of shareholders holding at least 1% of Eximbank (EIB), with over 18.7 million shares, or 1.01%. As of June 30, 2026, the company held GEX and VIX shares with a cost of nearly 716 billion VND and a fair value of about 790 billion VND, while its Q2 report showed no EIB shares.

- Amid the wave of rate cuts, how are banks attracting deposits?
At the State Bank of Vietnam's request, Governor Pham Duc An met 46 commercial banks on Oct. 19 and asked them to cut deposit rates by at least 0.5% per year for terms of 6 months or longer. As of the afternoon of Oct. 20, 16 banks had announced cuts, mostly for terms of 6 months and above, typically 0.5% per year and up to 0.7%. Rates for deposits under 6 months changed little due to the 4.75% per year ceiling. Still, banks were competing hard for deposits, and one employee offered 9.6% per year for a 6-month term before the cut took effect. Listed 12-month rates at most banks have fallen below 7% per year, though how much loan rates fall depends on funding costs and other factors.
