• RBA extreme interest rates push economy towards potential recession

  Stephen Koukoulas argues that the Reserve Bank of Australia's aggressive rate policy, now at 4.6%, risks pushing the economy into recession as unemployment rises, house prices fall and consumer confidence plunges. Unemployment has reached 4.7%, a five-year high and up 1.3 percentage points from the 2022 cyclical low, while national house prices are down around 7% from their peak and dwelling approvals have fallen 15% since February. Household spending showed zero growth in August, and iron ore has slumped to about US$90 a tonne, near a decade low. He notes the RBA is the only central bank to have lifted rates to a 15-year high, even though inflation largely stems from the oil shock and housing costs, and says a November hike would be unfathomable. Whether Australia enters recession, he writes, depends heavily on AI and data centre investment.

• RBA extreme interest rates push economy towards potential recession

  Commentator Stephen Koukoulas argues that the Reserve Bank of Australia's interest rates, at a 15-year high, are pushing the economy towards recession. Unemployment has risen to a five-year high of 4.7%, consumer sentiment is near 50-year lows, and nationwide house prices are down around 7% from their peak. Dwelling approvals have fallen 15% since the February peak, and iron ore has slumped to US$90 (AU$129) a tonne, near a decade low. The author says whether a recession occurs depends largely on AI and data centre investment and household spending, and he considers a November rate hike unfathomable. He also argues that once the price effects of petrol, tobacco, construction and electricity are considered, August inflation would be 2.6%.

• Dow Futures Rise Despite 'Black Monday' Calls: Market Commentator Says Selloff Worries Are 'Overdone'

  U.S. stock futures rose late Sunday, signaling a rebound from Friday's slide in the Nasdaq Composite, even as calls for a 'Black Monday' crash trended. The Kobeissi Letter called selloff worries 'overdone,' noting the S&P 500 has climbed from about 5,500 to around 7,650 since May 2025. It argues the index is in a 'stealth' bear market within a bull market, with 84% of its stocks at least 10% below record highs and just 10 stocks driving 70% of gains since the March low. S&P 500 futures rose 0.72% to 7,760 after the index closed 1.09% lower on Friday, while the Nasdaq Composite closed 2.14% lower. Polymarket priced a 7% chance of a U.S. recession by the end of 2026, while David Rosenberg said he sees better-than-even odds of a recession within a year.

• Winning over Vingroup and Sun Group with concrete and special materials: Vietnamese company's profit up 136%, chairman speaks out

  Song Da Cao Cuong (SCL) reported Q3/2026 profit of VND 38 billion, up 136%, on net revenue of over VND 263 billion (up nearly 98%), while gross profit margin rose from about 36% to 41%. For the first nine months, revenue reached nearly VND 666 billion (up 81%) and after-tax profit nearly VND 94 billion, already exceeding more than 110% of its full-year profit target. Chairman Kieu Van Mat attributed the results to technology upgrades, production line optimization and capacity expansion, with several new plants expected to start operations by November 2026. The company said it spent more than two years testing its products before Vingroup accepted them; Vingroup's share of its business has fallen to about 25% as customers expanded to around 10 major groups and exports began to Laos, Cambodia and the Philippines. Over the past two years, the company has invested about VND 1,000 billion in factories and technology.

• UPS Yields 6.7% After Firing Amazon. Here's Whether the Dividend Survives 2027.

  UPS shares yield 6.7% as of October 16. The company has moved away from high-volume, low-margin Amazon deliveries and froze its dividend earlier this year, ending a 16-year streak of increases. The article says the payout will likely remain frozen through 2026 and 2027, citing competition from 10- and 30-year Treasury yields above 5% and other industrial dividend payers, but calls the dividend's safety questionable: UPS generated $5.47 billion in free cash flow in 2025, with $5.4 billion going to dividends, and free cash flow is projected to fall to $5.05 billion in 2026 and $5.01 billion in 2027, with the dividend absorbing about 98% of 2026 free cash flow. Rising competition and high fuel prices add pressure, and the article suggests investors may find more safety in the industrial sector.

• Asian shares mostly decline after AI stocks lead a rebound on Wall Street

On Wall Street, the S&P 500 rose 0.4% and the Nasdaq gained 1.1%, helped by Nvidia's 1.4% gain, while most stocks outside AI and tech fell and the Dow slipped 0.1%. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.14%, and U.S. crude rose to $103.50 a barrel and Brent to $109.47, as uncertainty about when the energy industry will return to normal after the war with Iran means oil is unlikely to ease soon.

• What Could X-Energy (XE) Gain From Its 960MW Indiana Nuclear Project?

  X-Energy (NasdaqGS:XE), American Electric Power and Amazon agreed to assess a 960 MW advanced nuclear project in Indiana using Xe-100 reactors, on a former coal plant site. Under the joint development agreement, Amazon would provide development funding and commit to a long-term power purchase. The article says the deal offers commercial validation for X-Energy's reactor platform rather than immediate financial relief, as the company, with a $4.3b market cap, reported $150.28 million in revenue, a $448.87 million loss, and a 20.2x price-to-sales ratio. The next key milestone is whether the study reaches a final investment decision for the Sullivan County site.
