Seven major tech stocks (Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, Tesla, Meta and Alphabet) are trading well below their 52-week highs. Meta and Alphabet are effectively in bear markets, down more than 20%, while Tesla is off 19.2%, Amazon 15.1% and Nvidia 12.2%. The article says Meta, Alphabet, Amazon and Tesla fell after earnings showed pressured free cash flow amid aggressive AI spending, while Nvidia faced fears that hyperscalers will pull back in 2027. Apple and Microsoft held up for company-specific reasons: Microsoft posted positive free cash flow and strong Azure sales growth, while Apple is seen as a cash-rich hardware play rather than an AI play. BTIG strategist Jonathan Krinsky said there is too much weakness in tech for the market to ignore.

- Tech firms take fresh hit as earnings misses fan AI fears
Tech stocks extended their losses after disappointing earnings from major Wall Street firms deepened concerns about the AI investment boom. Alphabet plunged more than 12 percent and Amazon more than seven percent in after-hours trade, while Intel cratered 23 percent on weak demand for PC processors and supply-chain problems; the Nasdaq finished down more than one percent. In Asia, SK hynix dived almost nine percent and Samsung lost more than six percent, while Kioxia and Advantest each shed more than nine percent and SoftBank skidded around seven percent. Floodlines Research's Anna Wu said the concern is not that AI demand has already slowed, but that higher funding costs and credit risk could eventually force hyperscalers to slow their build-out. Regional markets also fell, with Seoul down more than five percent, Taipei more than three percent and Tokyo more than two percent, after SK hynix had reported operating profit soaring 632 percent and Anthropic a first-half revenue surge of about 1,300 percent in its IPO filing.

- Tech Layoffs 2026 : Job cuts near 2 lakh globally as big tech like Microsoft , Google , Oracle , Meta & more pivot to AI
Tech job cuts continued through 2026 as major firms restructure around AI, with nearly 196,000 tech workers affected globally as of late October. May was a peak month, when nearly 29,000 tech jobs were eliminated. The cuts are concentrated at highly profitable companies and are often rewarded by investors, as they signal margin expansion. The main driver is shifting capital toward AI data centres, foundation models and specialised talent. Indian IT services firms have also reported muted headcount growth, slowed fresher hiring and emphasised upskilling and automation, with revenue per employee and AI readiness now key measures of corporate health.

- National Assembly Deputy: “Citizens Still Hold About 500 Tonnes of Gold, Roughly 12% of GDP”
Deputy Lê Hoàng Anh of Gia Lai told the National Assembly that the economy still relies heavily on bank credit, with outstanding loans around 155% of GDP while nearly 80% of mobilised funds have maturities under 12 months. He highlighted a paradox: household deposits exceed 11.2 million billion VND and citizens hold about 500 tonnes of gold, roughly 12% of GDP, yet the corporate bond market is only 11% of GDP, short of the 20% target for 2025. The lack of domestic capital channels has pushed many Vietnamese tech firms to set up foreign parent companies to raise funds. He proposed three measures: lending based on cash-flow data such as e-invoices, tax and trade records; keeping equity capital at home through holding companies in the International Financial Centre and attracting parent companies back at reasonable tax cost; and channelling household savings via voluntary pension funds, open-end funds and a pilot gold certificate scheme.

- Look Who's Upgrading America's Nuclear Forces Now
The U.S. Air Force awarded RTX a sole-source contract worth up to $8 billion to restart production of modernized Strategic Communications Terminals used by the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center at Kirtland Air Force Base, which manages nuclear commands for land-, sea- and air-launched weapons. The initial award is $800,000, with payments spread over 10 years and completion set for October 2036, and DefenceBlog.com reports the effort aims to modernize most parts of the nuclear triad at once. The author notes the roughly $800 million a year is under 1% of RTX's $96 billion revenue and estimates the contract could add about $90 million in annual operating profit, small against $10.3 billion last year. The author expects limited impact on the stock, which trades at 31 times earnings and still looks overvalued.
- Microsoft Just Announced Incredible News for Nvidia Shareholders
Microsoft's fiscal 2027 first-quarter report showed that about 75% of its capital expenditure went to short-lived assets, mainly CPUs and GPUs, which the article says points to significant growth for Nvidia as a supplier. Microsoft expects capex to accelerate in the second half, again driven by CPUs and GPUs, and forecasts $170 billion in capex for the calendar year. The article says this spending reflects demand already in place rather than speculative build-out. Nvidia stock rose more than 1,100% over the past three calendar years but is up only 15% this year, while data center sales make up 92% of its total sales. The author argues the underlying picture remains strong despite investor concerns about AI spending.
