- Asia FX ticks higher; yuan hits 4-yr high after China Q3 GDP beat
Asian currencies traded flat to slightly higher on Monday while the dollar held steady after a 0.4% weekly fall that ended a four-week winning streak. The yuan reached its strongest level since July 2022, with onshore USD/CNY down 0.1% to 6.6816, after China's third-quarter GDP grew 4.5% year on year, beating the 4.4% forecast. September industrial output rose 5.5% and retail sales 1.1%, but property investment fell 20.6% in the first nine months and fixed-asset investment dropped 7.2%, which could limit the yuan's gains. The yen was near 158 per dollar amid intervention fears, while the rupee posted its strongest weekly performance in nearly four years after Reserve Bank of India measures to curb dollar demand. The Australian dollar gained 0.4% and the won strengthened 0.2% against the dollar.

- Sterling today: Pound rises as UK growth beats forecasts, dollar retreats
Sterling rose 0.51% against the dollar to 1.3259 and the euro gained 0.56% to 1.1216 on Thursday, as the dollar retreated on concerns over debt at AI-sector companies. UK GDP rose 0.1% in August, beating a consensus forecast of a 0.1% fall, with annual growth at 2.1%, the strongest since October 2022, and manufacturing jumped 1.2% on the month. Capital Economics said higher inflation may still dampen growth, while another analyst expected the Bank of England to raise its base rate to 4% within three weeks. The dollar index hit a 2026 high on Wednesday before reversing sharply, with ING attributing the move to worries over AI-sector debt, including a CoreWeave 2032 bond falling to 78 cents on the dollar.
- SpaceX lifts mood but hot inflation limits gains
The FTSE 100 closed up 0.2% at 10,752.88 after opening lower, as UK consumer price inflation rose to 3.5% in September from 3.1% in August, above the 3.4% consensus and the highest since October 2025. The increase was driven largely by transport costs, particularly motor fuels, while core inflation reached 2.8% and services inflation 3.7%. RBC Capital Markets said the data removed the final obstacles to a November Bank of England rate hike, and Peel Hunt's Kallum Pickering shifted his call from a hold to a quarter-point increase. In New York, SpaceX rose 9.7% after better-than-expected third-quarter results, while in Paris Carrefour plunged 13% after cutting its 2026 outlook over the social and security situation in France.
- US single - family housing starts plunge ; building permits hit 3 - 1 / 2 - year low
- U . S . homebuilding slumps as permits hit 3 - 1 / 2 - year low | Honolulu Star - Advertiser
U.S. single-family starts fell 4.6% in September to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 859,000 units, the lowest since September 2025, while permits dropped 4.0% to 845,000 units, the weakest since March 2023. Mortgage rates have surged, with the 30-year fixed rate averaging 7.40% last week, the highest in nearly three years, which has suppressed demand. Builder sentiment fell in October to its lowest level since June 2012, blamed on rising material, diesel and labor costs. Some economists say the slowdown is needed to clear a glut of unsold new homes, while Morgan Stanley estimates residential investment contracted at a 4.0% annualized rate in the third quarter.

Latest news
- 5 of the Fastest-Growing Stocks in the Market
The article ranks five fast-growing stocks by latest-quarter revenue growth: Nebius Group (NBIS), CoreWeave (CRWV), AppLovin (APP), Robinhood Markets (HOOD) and IREN (IREN), and examines what investors are paying for that growth. Nebius's second-quarter revenue jumped 454% year over year to $582.3 million, but at a price-to-sales ratio (P/S) of about 46, the highest of the five, its growth is largely funded by cash, customer prepayments and outside financing. CoreWeave's revenue rose 112.5% to around $2.6 billion, backed by a $104 billion revenue backlog, and it trades at 6.0 times sales, but $640 million in net interest expense means its growth relies heavily on debt. AppLovin grew revenue 53% to $1.9 billion, funded by its own profits and cash, at about 16 times sales, while Robinhood's revenue rose 32% to a record $1.3 billion at about 23 times sales, though trading activity can fall sharply when markets cool. IREN's total revenue fell 26.7% to $137.2 million as Bitcoin mining declined, while AI cloud revenue grew tenfold to $70.5 million at about 19 times sales; the article suggests AppLovin could be the safest option because its growth is funded by profits.
- Down Roughly 50% From Its Highs, Is Netflix Stock Finally a Buy?
Netflix (NFLX) shares have fallen roughly 50% from their all-time closing high of $133.91 on June 30, 2025, following the company's third-quarter report. Before the report, Netflix fired its chief content officer and announced its largest layoff since 2022, hiring former Disney executive Peter Rice as it struggled to produce U.S. blockbuster shows. In Q3, revenue rose 12% to $12.87 billion and adjusted EPS jumped 49% to $0.87, above the $0.82 analyst estimate compiled by LSEG. Netflix guided Q4 revenue to $13.4 billion but trimmed full-year revenue to $51.1 billion and cut its ad revenue forecast from $3 billion to $2.7 billion due to a slower ad rollout. The article argues that at a forward P/E of about 17 times 2027 estimates, the valuation now looks attractive.
- US objective is no more oil, nuclear issues, its total destruction of Iran: Foreign Affairs Expert Waiel Awwad
Foreign affairs expert Waiel Awwad told ANI that Washington's aim on Iran goes beyond nuclear talks to regime change and the disintegration of Iran, making Israel the dominant regional power. As crude oil reached USD 117 a barrel, the highest since April, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed full control of the Strait of Hormuz, saying two supertankers carrying more than 4.5 million barrels struck naval mines on an unauthorised southern route. Iran's Chief of the General Staff Ali Abdollahi said Iran would not allow US military vessels into the Persian Gulf and questioned Trump's claims that Iran's nuclear facilities were destroyed. Separately, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited Reliance's Jamnagar refinery in India, where US Ambassador Sergio Gor said US LPG made up 67% of India's imports, up from below 10%.
- Inflation Is Running Hotter Than Expected. That Could Be Bullish for Bitcoin.
Consumer prices rose 3.7% in the 12 months through September 2026, and Bitcoin fell about $1,000 after the hotter-than-expected October 14 report, as high inflation raises the odds of Federal Reserve rate hikes. The article argues Bitcoin is poorly placed to hedge cost-driven inflation: the PPI jumped 1.3% in September and 6.3% over 12 months, and squeezed households may invest less in riskier assets. Inflation from money creation could help more, since J.P. Morgan Asset Management describes Bitcoin as tracking the global money supply, and M2 grew 5.7% in the year through August 2026. If the Fed cuts rates while prices are still rising, Bitcoin's fixed supply could serve as a hedge, and the article says the next few quarters will test this thesis.
- Grayscale New Zcash ETF Has Gathered $1 Billion in Assets in Just 30 Days. Here's Why Investors Are So Bullish on Zcash.
Zcash, the largest privacy coin by market cap, was up 149% on the year as of October 22, even as most major cryptocurrencies lost value. Grayscale launched the Zcash ETF (ZCSH) on August 25, and it gathered more than $1 billion in its first 30 trading days, placing it among the top 1% of ETFs launched over the past decade by first-month assets, according to managing director Krista Lynch. Bulls point to growing demand for financial privacy, with about 29% of ZEC now in shielded addresses, up from about 12% at the start of 2025, and a hard cap of 21 million ZEC. The article notes risks including use of Zcash to launder stolen funds in September and October, possible exchange delistings, and a critical Orchard pool vulnerability disclosed in June that has since been patched. It also calls the ETF's 2.5% management fee, or $25 per $1,000 invested, a sizable premium compared with buying Zcash directly on an exchange.
