  • Tech Stock Sell-Off: This Could Be the Most Powerful Reason to Buy Bonds Right Now

    The tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 fell about 6.5% between Oct. 6 and Oct. 16 in an AI stock sell-off, with the steepest declines in semiconductor stocks and companies supplying AI data center build-outs. Investors are worried about whether AI companies are borrowing too much and whether hundreds of billions of dollars in AI spending will pay off. Unlike 2022, when stocks and bonds fell together, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has declined since both levels peaked on Oct. 5, meaning bond prices rose, which the article sees as a sign of a flight to safety. According to Bloomberg, a J.P. Morgan strategist said government bonds can help rebalance portfolios and offer a genuine way to diversify concentration risk in equities. The article notes the Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND) holds 11,434 bonds at a 0.03% expense ratio.

  • Tom Lee Says AI Selloff Is Nearing Its End, Points To Setup Similar To Cisco's 1997 Rout — Sees Opportunity In NVDA, Software And Beyond

    Fundstrat's Tom Lee says the AI stock selloff is nearing its end and presents an opportunity rather than the start of a deeper decline, after the Nasdaq Composite fell 2.6% on Thursday. He notes Treasury yields have moved back below 5% and the Fed could be turning potentially dovish, while arguing that tighter debt markets are restraining excessive speculation. He compares the situation with Cisco's 1997 drop and views AI infrastructure, memory stocks, Nvidia, the Magnificent Seven and software favorably, estimating $30 trillion in AI infrastructure spending over the next 25 years. After hours, SPY gained 0.15%, QQQ rose 0.07% and DIA climbed 0.13%.

  • If the AI Bubble Bursts, These Stocks Will Be Winners

    AI-linked stocks fell again: CoreWeave dropped to its lowest level since shortly after its IPO as its bond yields reached as high as 15%, the Nasdaq Composite fell 2.6% on Thursday, and Meta tumbled 7% despite strong earnings after posting its first quarter of negative free cash flow in its history amid surging AI infrastructure spending. The 10-year yield fell 3.8% to 4.95%, its first time below 5% in a month, and is down 7% over two weeks, which may reflect a shift from stocks into bonds. Homebuilder stocks rose, with the State Street SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB) up 3.8%, and Pool Corporation, RH, and Lennar gaining 14.4%, 9.5%, and 9%. Investors now see a 93% chance the Fed holds rates at 375-400 basis points, after weak September jobs growth and cooler-than-expected August PCE inflation. The author sees this as another sign that investors are looking for the next set of winners after AI.

  • Billionaire Paul Tudor Jones warns AI and IPOs could hit stocks hard in 2027. Protect your nest egg now

    Paul Tudor Jones told CNBC on Oct. 13 that 2027 will be very challenging for the stock market, as AI fundraising and big IPOs add shares that compete for investors' money. He noted that buybacks and acquisitions have long removed shares, such as Apple's repurchase of 402 million shares for $89.3 billion in fiscal 2025, but this balance could shift as SpaceX, Anthropic and OpenAI prepare offerings. He said he will be short the whole year, betting on falling prices, and compared the current market to 1999. The article stresses that his warning concerns what could follow, not an immediate collapse, and that he still sees room for a strong finish to 2026.

  • U.S. Power Demand Is Set to Jump 20% by 2030. Here's What It Means for Energy Stocks.

    Rabobank research projects U.S. power consumption could climb 20% by 2030, after two decades of sluggish growth of around 0.5% a year. Drivers include AI hyperscalers, electrification such as electric vehicles, and reindustrialization of manufacturing. The article covers three groups that could benefit: regulated utilities such as Dominion Energy, Southern Company and American Electric Power; independent power producers such as Constellation, Vistra and Talen, which have long-term agreements with hyperscalers; and equipment makers such as GE Vernova, with a backlog of over $176 billion, and Bloom Energy. It also notes that Constellation and Vistra are down 30% and 22% over the past year.

  • U.S. Clarity Act failure gives Asia and Middle East a competitive edge, says Apex Group CEO

    Apex Group CEO Peter Hughes said the U.S. risks losing digital asset business to faster-moving jurisdictions in Asia, the Middle East and Bermuda after the Senate failed to advance the Clarity Act, which fell short of the 60 votes needed. He described Europe's MiCA rules as slow and restrictive and said Saudi Arabia is emerging as a tokenization hub. Hughes argued that tokenized money market funds and regulated, yield-bearing stablecoins could accelerate institutional adoption, citing 5% returns from a tokenized money market fund versus 3% from a bank savings account, and noted these funds can be used as collateral. Apex Group, which services more than $3.5 trillion in assets across 50 jurisdictions, recently partnered with droppRWA and Tokeny on regulated real-world asset products starting in Saudi Arabia.

  • Peter Schiff Says Buy Gold Near $4000 As Prices Sink From January High, Warns Of Currency Crisis Worse Than 2008

    Gold bull Peter Schiff urges investors to buy gold and silver as metals slide alongside U.S. stocks, arguing this offers a better buying opportunity as inflation picks up again. Gold closed at $3,996, down about 1% on the day and about 29% below its January record of $5,608, while Schiff called silver “a great buy below $54.” He cited September producer prices rising 1.3%, the largest monthly gain in over four years and driven largely by energy, and said economic growth in the first two years of Trump’s second term trailed Biden’s last two. Schiff warned high borrowing costs, with the average 30-year mortgage rate at 7.32%, are setting up a crisis worse than 2008. CME FedWatch futures priced a 68.9% chance of another 25 bps hike in December.

  • Chancellor has given good news to small businesses but he must do more

    Baroness Ayesha Hazarika argues that small and medium-sized businesses are vital to the economy and to local communities, and that ahead of Wednesday's Budget, Chancellor John Healey should do more to back them despite some good news on cutting red tape. She cites a Brixton nail bar that employs young people and supports other local shops, but says such businesses are struggling under extra taxes and burdens. She calls for a clear signal of intent, ideally a modest tax-related break, for sectors such as retail, hospitality and beauty.
