• Rotation | Philstar . com

  US tech stocks fell sharply last week, with the Nasdaq 100 down 5.5%, the S&P 500 down 2% and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index down 11.4%. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan compared speculative AI investing to casino gambling, while the article flags worries over heavy capital spending and rising debt, such as CoreWeave's roughly $50 billion in borrowings. US inflation reached 3.7% in September and Brent crude hit $112 a barrel, leaving the Federal Reserve less room to maneuver. Still, 70% of S&P 500 stocks rose on the week as money rotated into energy, utilities and consumer staples. Global tech equity funds saw $4.75 billion in outflows, emerging-market equity funds drew $717 million, and the PSEi rose 2.1% to 5,782.70.

• 7 highlights from JD Vance CBS News town hall

  Vice President JD Vance took voter questions during an hour-long town hall hosted by CBS News and aired on Saturday, with anchor Tony Dokoupil moderating. Vance argued that the Trump administration's economic and Iran policies will pay off over time, but acknowledged that fixing the economy will take more than 18 months. He said he has not decided whether to run for president in 2028, though he is widely viewed as an early frontrunner in the Republican primaries. On energy, he admitted gas prices are too high and pointed to Iran's attacks on oil tankers and the risk of Iran controlling shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The discussion also reflected voter concern about cost of living, as inflation remains above the Federal Reserve's 2% target.

• The 10-Year Treasury Is Above 5% for the First Time in Almost 20 Years. History Says This Is How the S&P 500 Index Will Perform Over the Next 12 Months.

  The 10-year Treasury yield closed at 5.06% on October 15, its first close above 5% since July 19, 2007, a level viewed as a key anchor for pricing across the economy. The article compares this with 2007, when the S&P 500 fell 19% in the following 12 months and 11% over the next five years, after yields had risen 26% in the prior four years. Yields have also climbed 26% in the past year as the central bank raises rates to fight stubborn inflation. Key differences include a normal yield curve today versus an inverted one in 2007, stricter bank rules after Dodd-Frank, and a stock market dominated by profitable tech firms. The article argues investors should stay focused on high-quality companies for the long term.

• The 10 - Year Treasury Is Above 5 % for the First Time in Almost 20 Years . History Says This Is How the S & P 500 Index Will Perform Over the Next 12 Months .

  On October 15, the 10-year Treasury yield stood at 5.06%, having crossed 5% about three weeks earlier for the first time since July 19, 2007. The article draws parallels to 2007, when the S&P 500 fell 19% over the next 12 months and 11% over the following five years, after the yield had risen 26% in the prior four years. Today the yield has risen 26% over the past 12 months as the Federal Reserve raises rates against stubborn inflation, and the S&P 500 sits near record highs. Key differences, however, include stricter bank rules since the Dodd-Frank Act of July 2010, a normal yield curve instead of an inverted one, and an index led by profitable tech giants. The article concludes that long-term investors should stay the course and invest early and often.

• BingX, YouHodler added to ESMA MiCA register in latest update

  ESMA's latest MiCA register update added nine crypto-asset service providers (CASPs), bringing the total to 375 unique providers, including BingX's Austrian entity MEGE zweite and the Italian subsidiary of YouHodler.

• Zcash Developer Zakura Proposes Fix to Stop Quantum Computers Linking Shielded Swaps

  Zcash full node developer Zakura has proposed “one-time” viewing keys to stop a future quantum computer from linking a user's shielded Zcash payments. The biggest risk is swaps through NEAR Intents, where each swap out of ZEC posts one of the user's shielded addresses to NEAR's public chain as a refund address, and around $600 million to $700 million had flowed through that route by May, according to Zcash Open Development Lab CEO Josh Swihart. The fix derives a separate incoming viewing key for each published address while leaving the spending key untouched, so a quantum attacker who breaks one address would only see payments to that address. The approach needs no network upgrade, and wallets built on Zakura's open-source libraries, such as Vizor, can add it in the coming weeks, with hardware wallets to follow. At the time of reporting, ZEC traded at $1,165, up 3.6% on the day.

• JPMorgan's JPM Coin, representing dollar deposits, is coming to Ethereum: Bloomberg

  JPMorgan will make JPM Coin, a token representing its dollar deposits, available to institutional clients on Ethereum, according to Bloomberg. The bank says Ethereum's liquidity makes it attractive to crypto companies seeking blockchain payments and to financial firms settling trades or backing tokenized assets. The move extends JPMorgan's blockchain work beyond Base and its private Kinexys network, which processes more than $7 billion daily. The bank did not say when the token will go live on Ethereum. Meanwhile, JPMorgan is among US banks planning a shared tokenized deposit network, but it was not on Swift's list of 17 banks preparing live transactions on its blockchain ledger in July.

• Robot factories and hypersonic missiles: JPMorgan Chase’s first $5 billion of defense investments

  JPMorgan Chase said it has made $5 billion in startup investments in the first year of its U.S. security and resiliency initiative, a faster pace than expected. The bank had pledged $10 billion into startups over a decade and may expand the program beyond that amount, according to co-president Doug Petno. Among the disclosed stakes, JPMorgan has taken direct positions in Hadrian, which builds automated factories making parts for defense, aerospace and maritime companies, and Castelion, maker of the relatively low-cost hypersonic missile Blackbeard. The bank helped lead a $1.4 billion funding round for Hadrian and was involved in a $1 billion round for Castelion. The direct equity stakes mark a departure from JPMorgan's usual role as a lender and advisor.

• One Year In, JPMorganChase's Security and Resiliency Initiative Is Helping to Strengthen Industries Critical to Long-Term Economic Growth

  One year after launching its $1.5 trillion Security and Resiliency Initiative (SRI), JPMorganChase said it has deployed $5 billion in equity investments through its Strategic Investment Group, half of its initial $10 billion SRI allocation. The firm has financed and facilitated more than $230 billion in transactions across SRI's focus areas, including supply chains and advanced manufacturing, defense and aerospace, energy, frontier technologies, and pharma and healthtech. The Strategic Investment Group, led by Todd Combs, invests in venture, growth and later-stage companies, while a team of more than 35 SRI professionals has expanded the initiative to Europe and Canada. Nearly one-third of SRI-related activity in the past year occurred outside the United States, as many critical technologies and supply chains cross borders. Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon said strong economies and national security require investment in infrastructure, manufacturing, energy, defense and innovation.
