- Why hedge funds could be making a bond market shock more likely
Bank of England deputy governor Sarah Breeden told CNBC that hedge funds' growing role in government bond markets makes a shock in one market more likely to spread to others. She said these funds are price-sensitive, leveraged and international, and have increasingly become core bond investors, taking over from insurers and pension funds. The IMF estimates hedge fund gross assets at about $13 trillion and warned that leverage and crowded trades could amplify stress in turbulent times. The article notes that hedge funds held a record 7% of the $30 trillion US Treasury market at the end of 2025, and that basis trades are under closer scrutiny after the sharp sell-off in sovereign debt.
- Markets today : Wall Street AI stocks rebound , Europe falls ; ASX set to decline
AI stocks on Wall Street bounced back from last week's steep losses, lifting the S&P 500 by 0.5% and the Nasdaq by 1.1%, though most US stocks outside AI and tech were falling. Many European indexes sank more than 1% after violent weekend protests that could force governments to spend more, pushing bond yields higher, while Australia's ASX was set to fall 0.8% at the open. Nvidia rose 1.3% and CoreWeave gained 2.8% after tumbling 25.2% last week, while Cleveland-Cliffs jumped 15.8% on a bigger-than-expected quarterly profit. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.14% from 5.09%, and Brent crude rose 0.2% to $US110.12 a barrel amid uncertainty over the war with Iran.
- AI stocks lead rebound on Wall Street as European markets drop
AI stocks led a rebound on Wall Street after last week's steep losses, with the S&P 500 up 0.5% and the Nasdaq up 1.1%, while most other U.S. stocks fell and the Dow was mostly unchanged. European markets fell sharply, with Paris down 1.1%, after weekend protests raised concerns about higher government spending and pushed bond yields up. Last week's sell-off had been driven by worries about expensive borrowing, as the 10-year Treasury yield rose to 5.14%, after topping 5.30% earlier this month, its highest level since 2002. CoreWeave rose 2.8% after tumbling 25.2% last week, Nvidia gained 1.3%, and Cleveland-Cliffs jumped 15.8% after a bigger-than-expected quarterly profit. South Korea's Kospi rose 1.8%, while Brent crude rose 0.2% to $110.12 per barrel.
- AI stocks lead rebound on Wall Street as European markets drop
AI stocks led a Monday rebound on Wall Street, with the S&P 500 up 0.5% and the Nasdaq up 1.1%, recovering part of last week's steep losses while most other U.S. stocks and European markets fell. CoreWeave rose 2.8% after dropping 25.2% last week, as worries about the rising cost of borrowing, which funds much of the AI chip and data center spending, weighed on the sector. In Europe, indexes fell sharply after violent weekend protests raised pressure on governments to spend more, pushing bond yields higher, and the 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.14% from 5.09%. Cleveland-Cliffs jumped 15.8% after reporting a bigger-than-expected quarterly profit, while Brent crude rose 0.2% to $110.12 per barrel. Investors are awaiting Meta Platforms and Lam Research results on Wednesday for more detail on AI spending.
- AI stocks lead a rebound on Wall Street as European markets drop following protests
AI stocks bounced back on Wall Street after a steep slide last week, while the rest of the market and global stocks remained shaky. The S&P 500 rose 0.5% and the Nasdaq gained 1.1%, while many European indexes fell more than 1%, including 1.1% in Paris, after weekend protests raised worries about government spending and bond yields. CoreWeave rose 2.8% after tumbling 25.2% last week, and Nvidia added 1.3%. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.14% from 5.09%, after topping 5.30% earlier this month, its highest level since 2002, raising borrowing costs for governments, companies and households. Cleveland-Cliffs jumped 15.8% after reporting a bigger-than-expected quarterly profit, while Brent crude rose 0.2% to $110.12 a barrel.
- AI stocks lead a rebound on Wall Street as European markets drop following protests
AI stocks rebounded on Wall Street Monday, recovering some of last week's steep losses, with the S&P 500 up 0.9% and the Nasdaq composite up 1.7%, while most other U.S. stocks fell. European indexes slid more than 1% after weekend protests raised the prospect of bigger government spending, pushing French bond yields up more than German ones. The 10-year Treasury yield edged up to 5.12%, though falling oil prices, with Brent down 1.4% to $108.35 per barrel, helped keep yields in check. Nvidia added 2.1%, CoreWeave rose 2.9% after tumbling 25.2% last week, and SpaceX gained 3.1% to $150.55, while Cleveland-Cliffs jumped 15.1% on a bigger-than-expected profit. Investors now await Wednesday's results from Meta Platforms and Lam Research for more clues on AI spending, while analysts forecast 29% profit growth for S&P 500 companies.

- Aeroméxico Reports Unaudited Third Quarter 2026 Results
Aeroméxico reported unaudited third-quarter 2026 results, with record revenue of $1.6 billion, up 13.6% year over year, driven by international passenger demand, premium cabins, loyalty and cargo, which grew 15.8%. Fuel expense rose 57.6% to $469.0 million as jet fuel prices hit historic highs, but adjusted EBITDAR reached $389.2 million, a 24.0% margin, and operating income was $189.6 million, an 11.7% margin. The company recognized $48.7 million from an updated loyalty program breakage estimate, its first such alignment since 2018. Management expects fourth-quarter revenue to grow about 15% year over year, assuming an average all-in fuel price of about $4.5 per gallon and an exchange rate of 18.0 Mexican pesos per U.S. dollar.
- Why Berkshire's Latest Move Proves It's Not Really a Warren Buffett Company Anymore
Greg Abel took over as Berkshire Hathaway CEO at the start of 2026, though Warren Buffett and Abel are reportedly in regular contact on investment decisions. Berkshire has taken a stake in Milan-based Bending Spoons, investing $600 million in its IPO over the summer and adding $330 million since, a position of about 0.4% of its portfolio. The author argues this is out of character for Buffett, who was skeptical of acquisitive companies and prefers consistent, predictable earnings, while Bending Spoons buys and turns around troubled software businesses. The author sees the move as a possible turning point toward more risk-taking and tech investment under Abel, and suggests a wait-and-see approach to the stock until his investment choices become clearer.
- Solana treasury firm SkyAI sells all SOL holdings, launches $201M buyback
SkyAI, formerly Sharps Technology, has sold its entire Solana (SOL) treasury and launched a tender offer to buy back up to $201.3 million of shares and warrants, reversing its crypto accumulation strategy. As of Oct. 16 the company held about $223.8 million in cash, and the offer covers up to 95% of each class of shares and warrants at a fixed price, no longer tied to SOL's price as originally planned. The company says it will keep building a financial platform that combines stablecoin infrastructure on Solana with artificial intelligence. The strategy began in August 2025 after a private placement of more than $400 million, and by the end of 2025 it had produced about $153 million in unrealized losses. SkyAI shares closed Monday at $2.79, up 5.3% on the day.
- Tech stocks had a nice oversold bounce on Monday. Earnings this week will determine if it's for real
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite rallied Monday as AI and chip stocks rebounded, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) on pace to snap a nine-day slump and the iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) up 4%. Last week, the S&P 500 fell nearly 2%, its worst weekly decline since late June, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 4.5%. Whether the rebound lasts will depend largely on results from big tech names such as Meta and Tesla, as well as SpaceX, which reports after the bell Tuesday. Of the 47 S&P 500 companies that have reported third-quarter results, 85% have beaten expectations, but most tech earnings are still to come. Sameer Samana of Wells Fargo Investment Institute sees the AI selloff as a 'reality check' rather than a full-blown unraveling, though pressure may last through the midterms.
- Inflation Just Spooked the Market -- But There's Still Good News for Patient Investors
The September CPI rose 0.6% from the prior month and 3.7% year over year, up from 0.4% and 3.4% in the previous report, raising the odds of Federal Reserve rate hikes and pushing the S&P 500 down 1.1% that day. The author argues such swings are daily noise: so far in 2026, the S&P 500 has fallen more than 1% 18 times and gained more than 1% on 19 occasions. In a hypothetical example, $10,000 put into the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) in October 2006 grew to $56,170 in share price terms, or $80,970 with dividends reinvested, despite a drop of more than 50% after the subprime crash, a COVID-19 plunge and the 2022 inflation crisis. Adjusted for inflation, $10,000 in October 2006 equals about $16,697 today, so the position is well ahead of inflation.
- Largest securities firm lends over US$2 billion
TCBS, the largest securities firm in the market, had margin lending balances of about VND 54,739 billion, up 25.6% from the start of the year, with nearly all of it (about VND 54,400 billion) used for margin. Lending was the main growth driver in the third quarter, accounting for 44% of revenue, or VND 1,561 billion, while total revenue reached VND 3,534 billion, up nearly 12%. Third-quarter pre-tax profit was VND 2,152 billion, up 6.3% and the highest ever, and nine-month pre-tax profit reached VND 5,708 billion, or 76% of the full-year plan.

TCBS is a subsidiary of Techcombank, which owns nearly 80% of it, and currently leads the sector in charter capital, margin loan balances and market capitalization.
