- MARKETS LIVE : Wall Street opens lower as AI spending doubts and oil price surge weigh on sentiment
Wall Street opened lower on Thursday as doubts over returns on heavy AI spending, disappointing Tesla and Meta results, and surging oil prices hit sentiment. The Dow fell 67.7 points (0.13%) to 52,788.41, the S&P 500 dropped 62.6 points (0.81%) to 7,694.62, and the Nasdaq Composite lost 394.5 points (1.48%), with the Nasdaq 100 losing about 500 points in the first 13 minutes. Meta fell 6.51% to $652.10, Tesla 1.91% to $379.10 and Nvidia 1.76% to $218.07. Oil prices hit their highest since May, with Brent above $111 a barrel, after the New York Times reported that the US and Israel had drawn up plans for renewed strikes on Iran following the November 3 midterm elections. Spot gold fell 1.46% to $4,071.56 an ounce, while the FTSE 100 edged up 0.01% to 10,754.13.
- Wall Street's AI Boom Just Reached a Dangerous Milestone. History Says the Winners Could Change.
Wall Street has spent recent years rewarding nearly every company tied to AI, including hyperscalers, chipmakers, memory providers, cloud firms and equipment makers. A Columbia University estimate puts cumulative AI infrastructure investment and spending at about $9 trillion over 2025–2032, and says the sector would need more than $3.5 trillion in annual revenue by 2032 just to break even. The article argues that, as with the late-1990s telecom fiber build-out and 19th-century railroads, the biggest winners may be the businesses that use the infrastructure rather than those that build it, since builders often face overcapacity and weak returns. It points to industrial companies using AI for tasks such as predictive maintenance and logistics as potential beneficiaries, and presents the Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLI) as a complementary holding with a small allocation.
- 'Just another scare': Wall Street sees the AI trade strong despite tech's latest rout
Technology stocks fell this week as financing concerns mounted, pulling the S&P 500 and Nasdaq into negative territory. CoreWeave (CRWV) and Nebius (NBIS) each closed the week down more than 25%, and Baird's Ted Mortonson placed Oracle (ORCL) near the bottom of tech on free cash flow, citing a higher cost of capital and scrutiny of circular finance. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang voiced optimism about CoreWeave, in which Nvidia holds roughly a 10% stake. Patrick Moorhead (Moor Insights & Strategy) called the sell-off another scare, while Dan Ives (Wedbush Securities) pointed to CoreWeave's revenue backlog of roughly $104 billion at the end of the second quarter. UBS described the volatility as a recalibration of expectations rather than a fundamental break, urging investors to watch whether AI spending turns into sustainable earnings growth.
- ‘How many canaries have we killed in the coal mine?’ — Wall Street debates if the latest AI bubble warnings are another head fake or the real thing
Since ChatGPT's launch in late 2022, Wall Street has repeatedly seen warning signs of an AI bubble, from Nvidia's market cap crossing the $2 trillion, $3 trillion, $4 trillion and $5 trillion milestones to hyperscalers' borrowing and capex and the DeepSeek shock, yet earnings kept rising and stocks kept hitting records. The current worry is whether trillions of dollars in AI spending will pay off, which has hit debt-laden firms like CoreWeave, sending its stock lower and its credit default swaps higher. Dan Greenhaus of Solus Alternative Asset Management argued that CoreWeave is not a canary signaling an imminent AI bust, noting the market has repeatedly shrugged off similar warnings. With the Iran war and oil prices pushing bond yields to their highest in more than 20 years and the Fed hiking again, AI firms that rely on bond issuance face closer scrutiny.
- Wall Street Bets Big on AI at Six - Year Highs as Nearly Half of Fund Managers Predict a 2027 Crash
Bank of America's October 2026 fund manager survey shows the share of managers overweight technology rising to 37% from 30%, the highest since August 2020, even as about 45% expect an AI bubble by 2027. Ray Dalio has called the boom a “classic bubble” nearing its breaking point. Morgan Stanley projects AI-linked global bond issuance to approach $570 billion in 2026, nearly double last year's full-year pace, as Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft and Meta, which are projected to spend $700 billion on AI infrastructure, increasingly turn to debt markets. Hyperscaler capital expenditure is expected to pass $1 trillion by 2027, while U.S. federal debt crossed $40 trillion on August 19, 2026. The article frames the earnings reports from Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, Amazon and Apple during the week of October 26–30 as a test of whether debt-financed AI is generating real commercial returns.
- Stock Market Midday, Oct. 15: Markets Mixed as AI Sell-Off Continues
As of 11:38 a.m. ET, the Dow rose 0.98% to 52,126 while the S&P 500 gained 0.10% to 7,727 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.36% to 26,600 on tech weakness. Healthcare led the sectors while energy and technology dropped, and gold rose 1.18% to $4,154.09 with the 10-year Treasury yield at 5.10%. Vertiv fell around 6% after two analysts cut their price targets, and CoreWeave declined further as capital-cost worries spread to industrial names like Caterpillar. The article links the AI selloff to CoreWeave bond yields touching 15%, Chinese chipmaking news and a hotter-than-expected producer price index, with wholesale prices up 6.3% year-on-year. It notes that AI firms make up around 40% of the S&P 500 and urges investors to understand their AI exposure.

Latest news
- Cardano holders are being asked to bet $5 million on copper hitting a new record
Toto Finance is asking Cardano's treasury for 22 million ADA, about $5 million, to buy and tokenize copper, with voting closing Nov. 15. About two-thirds of the budget would buy copper stored in a COMEX-approved warehouse for 18 to 24 months before sale, while the rest covers storage, insurance, audits and Toto's work. If the full budget is spent and ADA's dollar price stays unchanged, copper would need to rise about 49.4% for the treasury to recover its investment, and there is no guarantee the treasury gets its original ADA back. Toto could receive up to 3.36 million ADA, roughly 15% of the request, and would keep its commercial rights to its tokenized-copper business. The proposal would use just over half of Cardano's remaining withdrawal allowance, which would not be replenished under existing rules.
- Bitcoin Core changes security policy as AI makes bugs easier to find
Bitcoin Core is changing its security disclosure policy because large language models have made some flaws easy to rediscover, so long embargoes offer little protection. Under the new policy, vulnerabilities deemed easily discoverable will be fixed as soon as possible across all maintained major versions, with security advisories published alongside the updates. Other flaws will follow severity-based schedules: low-severity bugs will be disclosed two weeks after the fix is released, while medium and high-severity bugs will be disclosed two weeks after the last affected release reaches End of Life, typically a year after the fix. The change follows a volunteer Bitcoin Red Team report of nearly 5,000 potential issues across 390 projects in August, though only about a fifth had been reproduced at that point.
- Asia FX steadies as oil surge weighs on risk appetite, yen holds gains
Asian currencies and the U.S. dollar were largely subdued on Friday as investors weighed rising energy costs and geopolitical tensions, while the yen held its gains after a safe-haven rally tied to concerns over global growth and tech valuations. The U.S. Dollar Index was flat at 101.60 by 03:33 GMT, near a three-week low and on track for a second straight weekly loss. USD/JPY edged up 0.1% to 156.90 after a nearly 1% drop in the previous session, as the yen reached its highest level in more than a month. Brent crude near $114 a barrel, after a 4% jump on Thursday following attacks in Saudi Arabia, raises inflation risks for energy importers such as Japan, India and South Korea. The Indian rupee extended its losses, with USD/INR up 0.3% to 95.109, while the yuan hovered near four-year lows; the Fed is expected to hold rates at 3.75%-4.00% on October 28, with ECB and BoJ decisions due on October 29 and 30.
- Securities firm with the heaviest loss in the sector in Q3 2026 revealed
APG Securities (APG) posted a pre-tax loss of nearly 108 billion VND in Q3 2026, compared with a profit of nearly 20 billion VND a year earlier, the largest loss among securities firms that have reported Q3 results. Revenue fell 21% to nearly 69 billion VND and gains from FVTPL financial assets dropped 93%, while operating expenses rose to nearly 124 billion VND, mainly due to a 119 billion VND loss on FVTPL assets. Financial expenses rose nearly 33% to 43.5 billion VND, mostly interest costs. For the first nine months, APG recorded a pre-tax loss of nearly 105 billion VND, against a profit of over 28 billion VND a year earlier, putting its 2026 pre-tax profit target of 20 billion VND under pressure.
- IonQ vs. Rigetti Computing: Which Quantum Computing Stock Is the Better Buy?
The article compares quantum computing companies IonQ (ion-based) and Rigetti Computing (superconducting). Rigetti reported Q2 revenue of $5.1 million, up from $1.8 million in 2025, but an operating loss of $28.1 million, and held $541.3 million in cash and investments; it also received a $100 million award from the U.S. Department of Commerce. IonQ posted Q2 revenue of $80.1 million and forecasts 2026 sales of $280–290 million versus $130 million in 2025, though its Q2 operating loss widened to $337.2 million from $160.6 million, and the Elisity deal involves stock valued at up to $1.3 billion. The author judges IonQ the better investment given its consistent revenue growth, says they bought IonQ shares, and notes Rigetti's price-to-sales ratio is more than six times IonQ's.
