- Big Banks Cut Off Conservatives and Christian Groups , OCC Investigation Finds
A report released Wednesday by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) finds that many of America's biggest banks denied or closed services for conservative businesses, Trump merchandise sellers and Christian organizations based on political views and religious beliefs. PNC declined a 2021 credit line to a media company after employees cited its owners' conservative views and funding of groups the SPLC designates as hate groups. Wells Fargo pressed a payment intermediary to drop a religious nonprofit over its views on same-sex marriage, disrupting its recurring donations. JPMorgan Chase, PNC, Wells Fargo and Capital One were cited for denials or closures, while Citibank and Bank of America's examples mainly involved industry restrictions such as coal, firearms and digital assets. The OCC reviewed nine national banks, nearly 100,000 complaints and about 420,000 pages of documents covering 2020 through September 2025.

- Legislative Inaction on Skill Games Leaves Pennsylvania Small Businesses, Veterans, First Responders Facing Devastating Financial Consequences
The Pennsylvania Taverns and Players Association (PA TAP) said it was disappointed that the General Assembly did not pass legislation regulating and taxing skill games before the state Supreme Court's deadline. The expiration of the court's 120-day stay means all skill games must shut down from October 14, cutting off revenue that many small businesses, veterans groups, volunteer fire companies and fraternal clubs have relied on for a decade. Some American Legion and VFW posts warn they may close, and American Legion Post 927 in Gilber has canceled its annual community Thanksgiving dinner. Owners say they may have to cut staff, reduce hours or shut down, while fire departments face losing funds for payroll, lifesaving equipment and vehicle upkeep. One assistant fire chief noted that an Airpack costs over $10,000.

- What is it like running a Fortune 500 business? HP’s regional CTO on adopting AI safely and motivating tech teams
HP has fallen from 11th place on Fortune's 2006 list to No. 84 this year, overtaken by Apple, Amazon, Meta and Microsoft. To regain ground against tech rivals, HP is shifting its focus from hardware to solutions and experiences, which means understanding clients' challenges and identifying the right technologies and services. Rajendra Sitompoel, HP's CTO for the Nordics and Benelux, says his role recently expanded to cover the Nordics, making it a challenge to balance internal change with engagement with clients, CIOs and CTOs on AI and security. To motivate his team, he gives staff freedom to stress-test security within clear boundaries and keeps the focus on how customers and end users actually use and benefit from HP products.
- Quoc Cuong Gia Lai shares hit the daily limit as Ms. Nguyen Thi Nhu Loan returns to lead the company
QCG shares rose to the daily limit of 10,300 dong, with nearly 200,000 shares in buy orders, after Nguyen Thi Nhu Loan returned as CEO and legal representative. Despite a weak VN-Index and falling real estate stocks, the stock stayed above its 10,000-dong par value, and over 110,000 shares changed hands before the lunch break. The leadership change from Nguyen Quoc Cuong to Ms. Loan followed her completion of a sentence in a case involving a 6,000 m2 plot at 39-39B Ben Van Don that was illegally transferred to private hands. After her arrest in mid-July 2024, the stock fell nine straight sessions, seven of them at the floor, losing nearly half its value within two weeks, and has since recovered about 75%. Its market capitalization is 2,800 billion dong, and her roughly 102 million shares are worth an estimated 1,050 billion dong at market value.

- The sorrow of Europe's “big brother” economy: Bonds keep selling off heavily after a “turbulent weekend”
French 10-year government bond yields rose 0.14 percentage points to 4.93% after a turbulent weekend, while the spread over German bonds returned to 1.47 percentage points. Nationwide protests over rising living costs and student education conditions turned into widespread rioting and looting; the government said at least 3,000 shops and businesses were looted, and the French retail federation estimated damages could reach “several hundred million euros.” More than 2,500 people are under formal investigation, 67 of them detained, and several cities have imposed curfews. President Macron rejected Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez’s resignation offer, even though Nuñez admitted police were deployed too thinly for protests of over 550,000 people, against an expected 200,000. Opposition politicians and the mayors of Paris and Marseille criticized the government for letting police lose control of the situation.
- President Donald Trump Claims, "We Don't Have Inflation, and Tariffs Don't Cause Inflation," but a New Report Strongly Disagrees
Although the stock market has posted strong returns under President Trump, the article argues his inflation-driving policies may be the biggest threat to the AI-driven bull market. A New York Federal Reserve report by three economists finds that by February 2026, tariffs had added 2.9 percentage points to goods price inflation, and each percentage point increase in average tariffs lifted consumer prices by about a quarter of a point after one year. Beyond tariffs, the Iran war and the ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz have pushed fuel prices sharply higher, with fuel oil up 74.0% and gasoline up 34.2% over the past year, while overall CPI rose 3.7%. The article warns that persistent inflation could prompt the Fed to raise rates more aggressively, slowing AI infrastructure investment and sending stocks lower.
- Bitcoin ETFs just saw their biggest day in a month thanks entirely to BlackRock
U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs took in $526.6 million on Monday, the largest daily net inflow in nearly a month, driven entirely by BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which pulled in $665.2 million, its biggest daily inflow since Oct. 7 last year, according to SoSoValue data. Fidelity's FBTC lost $83.6 million and Grayscale's GBTC shed $54.9 million, while the remaining funds recorded no net flows. The inflow more than erased last week's $228.5 million of withdrawals, but funds remain about $90.5 million in net outflows for October, according to CoinDesk calculations. Ether funds moved the opposite way, losing $103.3 million in their fourth consecutive session of outflows, with BlackRock's ETHA accounting for $95.4 million of that.
- A Big4 bank cut deposit rates in the morning, then raised them again in the afternoon
VietinBank cut its deposit rates for terms of 6 months and longer on the morning of Oct. 20, then restored them to pre-adjustment levels by the afternoon. Its afternoon rate board showed 3.5% per year for 6 to under 12 months, 5.9% for 12 to under 24 months and 6% for 24 months and longer, versus 3%, 5.4% and 5.5% in the morning. Rates for terms under 6 months stayed unchanged, including 2.1% for 1 to under 3 months and 2.4% for 3 to under 6 months. The move came as banks followed the State Bank of Vietnam's guidance to cut deposit rates by at least 0.5 percentage points for terms of 6 months and longer, and Vietcombank and Agribank were among those reducing rates.
- IVV vs. SPY: Which S&P 500 ETF Is the Better Buy for Long-Term Investors?
The article compares two ETFs that track the S&P 500, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), which have nearly identical holdings. The main difference is the expense ratio: IVV charges 0.03% a year, one-third of SPY's 0.09%, and its distribution yield is about 1.1% versus 1% for SPY. SPY's high liquidity remains valuable for active traders. The article concludes that IVV is the better choice for long-term investors, since lower costs can compound over time.
