Treasury yields and oil futures moved together through most of 2026, but that link broke in October. According to BlackRock's Jeffrey Rosenberg, treasuries and oil had an 80% correlation this year, and the breakdown reflects the AI trade's retreat, which the market now sees as a bigger risk than geopolitics. After a Nasdaq sell-off on Friday and Google's biggest single-day decline in its history, which wiped out half a trillion dollars in value, yields fell as investors read AI weakness as a sign of a softer U.S. economy. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh disagreed, arguing that investment is broadening beyond AI, even though business investment rose 12.7% in Q3, the biggest gain outside the pandemic since 2011. Rosenberg says long-dated Treasuries remain the only effective hedge in a disinflationary scenario, but high inflation and oil prices limit that role, and bonds could face pressure if the AI boom persists alongside U.S. fiscal challenges.

- 10-year Treasury yield drops back to 5% this week as investors seek cover from AI worries
U.S. 10-year Treasury yields fell back below 5% this week as fears about artificial intelligence pushed investors toward safe-haven assets. On Friday the 10-year yield rose 4 basis points to 4.997%, while the 2-year yield climbed 5 basis points to 4.692%. Tech stocks sold off, yields on tech companies' outstanding debt rose and credit default swap spreads widened for many AI firms, amid concern over the massive debt they are taking on to build AI infrastructure. Oil stayed high: December-delivery WTI rose 1.16% to $100.61 a barrel and Brent rose 0.79% to $114.06 a barrel after fresh attacks by Iran-backed Houthi militants on Saudi oil installations. Investors are also awaiting the Federal Reserve's rate decision next week and flash S&P Global PMI readings.
- Asian shares wobble as tech rout boosts bonds , dents rate hike bets
Asian shares fell as a tech sell-off hit markets: MSCI's Asia-Pacific index excluding Japan dropped 0.3% on Friday, for a 2.7% weekly loss and a fourth straight weekly decline, with Japan's Nikkei down 1.3% and South Korea's KOSPI down 1.7%. On Wall Street, the Nasdaq fell more than 2%, and Meta shares lost nearly 8% after the company posted its first cash outflow in over a decade due to AI-related spending. Money flowed into US Treasuries, pushing the 10-year yield down more than 19 basis points to 4.9591%, below the 5% level. The implied probability of a December Fed rate hike fell to 85%, while Brent oil hit a five-month peak of US$114 a barrel. Gold was flat at US$4,021.99 an ounce after a nearly 3% overnight drop, failing to attract safe-haven demand.
- EMEA Morning Briefing : AI Jitters Ripple Through Markets
A Meta Platforms signal that it could soon raise large amounts of cash triggered a rotation out of AI-linked stocks, with the Nasdaq Composite logging its worst day since June. Strategists said financing, not technology, is now the main concern as companies seek funds for AI infrastructure build-outs. Investors piled back into U.S. Treasurys, sending the 10-year yield below 5% after 19 straight days at or above that level. Oil rose after Houthi attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure, and Iran warned it could extend strikes to civilian targets across the Persian Gulf if the U.S. and Israel restart their air campaign. Gold is consolidating ahead of next week's Fed meeting and a U.S. inflation report, while iron ore firmed but steel demand concerns persist.
- 'The Fed put is very much back': Wall Street strategists weigh central bank's next move
The Fed held rates steady on Wednesday despite sticky inflation fueled by oil above $100 per barrel, a decision several Wall Street strategists found puzzling. Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research said the move was hard to understand, noting the US economy grew at a 3.4% annualized rate in the third quarter. Darius Dale of 42 Macro said the Fed put is very much back, expecting closer coordination between the Fed and the Treasury, including possible government bond buybacks funded by Fed-backed cash to provide liquidity in 2027. This helps explain why investors have rotated between sectors rather than selling off broadly, despite concerns about inflation, rates and AI. Technology and Communications Services have lagged over the past month, while Healthcare, Financial Services and Real Estate gained last week.

The roundup covers Wednesday's analyst calls ahead of the Fed's 2:30 p.m. rate decision and Alphabet and Microsoft earnings. The Nasdaq rose 1.18% to 26,477, the S&P 500 closed at 4,722, and the Anthropic IPO could come as early as the week of November 16. Jefferies upgraded Chemed to Buy from Hold with a $620 target, while Oppenheimer downgraded Enphase Energy to Perform from Outperform and President Capital Management cut Spotify to Neutral from Buy with a $608 target. The 30-year Treasury yield closed at 5.31%, and Brent crude closed at $114.30 after a second straight day of declines.
- Sensex falls over 300 points , Nifty slips below 22 , 690 as crude prices hover near USD 115
The Sensex fell over 300 points and the Nifty opened below 22,690 as Brent crude traded near US$114.91 per barrel, with investors cautious ahead of the US Federal Reserve's decision later this week. Analysts said elevated crude could raise input and transport costs, pressure corporate margins and widen India's import bill. Geojit's VK Vijayakumar said Brent above US$114 and the US 10-year yield near 4.97% remain near-term headwinds, and that FIIs will stay in risk-off mode, though strong Q2 earnings and domestic inflows will support the market. Analyst Vipin Dixena flagged resistance at 22,875-23,000 and support around 22,500, followed by 22,250.

- Expert names stock groups at the "start of the wave" with breakout potential toward year-end
MBS adviser Nguyen Huy Hoang sees opportunities emerging in deeply discounted stocks with positive business fundamentals and prospects for earnings improvement from Q4/2026 to Q1/2027. Accelerated disbursement of public investment capital in the year's final months could let building materials names such as DHA, HPG, NKG and HSG benefit first, with construction contractors VCG, HHV and CTD expected to follow as project progress speeds up. Capital flows are expected to shift toward midcaps, while large-caps, particularly some Vingroup-ecosystem stocks, have mainly been supporting the index. The expert sees VN-Index consolidating within 1,700–1,750 points in the final months of the year, so investment results will depend more on sector and stock selection. Hoang favors deploying capital in tranches during volatile sessions rather than all at once.
- A "tycoon" is about to close its record date for a cash dividend of over 50%, planning to pay nearly 7,000 billion VND
VEAM (ticker VEA) has set November 13 as the last registration date for shareholders to receive its 2025 dividend in cash, at a 52.4% payout ratio, or 5,240 VND per share, with payment expected on December 14, 2026. With nearly 1.33 billion shares outstanding, the total payout is estimated at about 6,963 billion VND, of which the Ministry of Industry and Trade, holding 88.47%, is expected to receive over 6,160 billion VND. Nine-month results grew, with net revenue of nearly 3,827 billion VND (up over 20%) and profit after tax of nearly 5,892 billion VND (up about 13%). Profit from joint ventures and associates, at over 5,125 billion VND, remained the main earnings driver. The 52.4% dividend rate is also VEAM's highest in the past 4 years.
- The story behind unsold share certificates and the 26-year journey of the first two stocks on the exchange
As Vietnam's stock market neared its opening at the end of 1999, the State Securities Commission had approached 14 companies to list, but most declined. REE was the first to agree, followed by SACOM (now SAM Holdings), which was outside the original list. Earlier, REE had struggled to raise capital, finding buyers for a 20% stake in 1993 and issuing a 5 million USD international convertible bond in 1997; SACOM needed 120 billion VND for a new factory but could not sell its 51% stake. Both companies saw listing as a source of long-term capital, though preparing the listing documents proved difficult, especially for SACOM, which drafted its prospectus without outside advisers. The REE and SAM tickers traded in the first session on July 28, 2000.
- Former stock market stars: from "hold and win" to trading at a third or a fifth of their peaks
The article looks at former 'star' stocks DGC, PNJ and FPT, which have either fallen sharply or failed to regain their previous peaks. DGC rose strongly in 2020–2021 on the commodity cycle, but by mid-August had fallen more than 44% year-to-date after management-related events; it now trades at 33,300 VND per share, with market capitalization below 13,000 billion VND. PNJ dropped 82% from its peak 9 months earlier amid the diamond crisis, trades at 15,500 VND per share, and risks a record loss of nearly 6,300 billion VND in 2026 as it sets aside over 7,000 billion VND in provisions. Foreign investors have net sold heavily, pushing PNJ's foreign ownership down to about 26%. FPT has been in a prolonged correction despite business results still growing at a double-digit rate, as foreign investors have pulled back.
- ICE And OKX's Tokenized Stock Venue Hits A Wall As Nvidia, Nike Join Growing List Of Objectors
The planned venue for tokenized U.S. stocks, a 50-50 joint venture between NYSE owner ICE and crypto exchange OKX, faces growing opposition as Nvidia and Nike join companies objecting to their shares being listed. Journalist Eleanor Terrett reported the number of objecting companies has risen to 50, up from 16 in the October 19 notice, out of 62 companies initially proposed for tokenization. Other objectors include Microsoft, Alphabet, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Walmart. The venue plans to operate under a temporary SEC exemption issued in September that allows trading without registering as an exchange, with trading 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and each stock paired against stablecoins such as USDC and USDT. Trades would run through automated liquidity pools on OKX's X Layer blockchain, and only wallets holding a special access token issued by the venue could trade.
- Prediction: A Bear Market Is Coming, and This 1 Investing Move Will Make or Break Your Portfolio
The author argues a bear market will eventually arrive, since corrections and crashes recur, but the market and economy have always recovered to reach new highs. Citing Hartford Funds, bear markets occur on average every 3.5 years and usually last less than a year, while the stock market's long-term average annual gain is close to 10%. According to the author, money needed within about five years should sit in less volatile places such as high-yield savings accounts, CDs, money market accounts or bonds, while long-term money can stay invested to ride out downturns. Near retirement, the piece suggests moving more money out of stocks but keeping some, since a 60-year-old may live 25 more years.
