The German 10-year Bund yield was at 3.29%, its lowest level since August, as investors moved into core sovereign debt amid a global tech stock selloff and caution ahead of the U.S. midterm elections. The two-year Bund yield stood at 3.03%. The pressure followed Apple's warning that rising memory chip prices would squeeze margins through the holiday quarter. According to Reuters, major U.S. tech firms such as Alphabet and Oracle are increasingly tapping European investors to fund AI infrastructure, with Alphabet launching its second euro bond sale of the year and Oracle planning to raise $20 billion through bonds and shares. Strategists warn the surge in supply could crowd out European issuers and push borrowing costs higher.

- European shares dip as Amazon, Intel stoke AI cash-burn fears
European shares fell 0.25% on Friday as three tech earnings reports sent investors seeking safety, extending a global tech rout, though the STOXX 600 remains on track for its best month since June, up about 2.2% for the month. Alphabet reported a revenue miss and negative free cash flow, while Amazon posted negative free cash flow of $42.4 billion over the past 12 months and third-quarter capital expenditure of $77.3 billion, more than double a year earlier. Intel forecast fourth-quarter revenue below analyst expectations, blaming a PC slowdown, and European tech stocks fell in sympathy, with ASML, ASM International, BE Semiconductor and Infineon each down more than 4%. ECB President Christine Lagarde said long-dated borrowing costs are rising worldwide partly because hyperscalers are issuing more long-term bonds, and Barclays was reported to be seeking default protection on more than $10 billion of AI infrastructure debt. STOXX 600 earnings are on course to grow 23.6% in the quarter, but excluding energy, growth is expected at 9.8%.
- Is Apple the right anti-AI stock for investors to 'hide' in?
Commentators say Apple is priced near perfection, so even strong results may not meet expectations. Investors are said to be hiding in Apple as an 'anti-AI' stock because it has not spent heavily on AI buildout, while stocks that have spent heavily have been flat this year. One speaker calls Apple expensive but says its stability earns a premium, likening its ecosystem to a utility, and notes early reviews or figures on the foldable phone are mixed. Another says he would not sell even if the stock falls, but adds that if Apple disappoints, it is unclear where investors would go.
- Apple overtakes Nvidia to become world’s most valuable company amid tech selloff
Apple reclaimed the title of the world's most valuable publicly traded company with a $5.03 trillion market capitalization, edging past Nvidia at $4.93 trillion after Nvidia fell 4.2% on the day. Growing skepticism over aggressive AI spending, plus weak quarterly updates from Intel and Amazon, prompted investors to rotate into companies with more disciplined balance sheets. Over the past month Nvidia shed 10% while Apple gained 3%, and Apple shares are up 27% year to date. The article notes Alphabet posted negative free cash flow of $9.1 billion in the third quarter, and Amazon's trailing twelve-month free cash flow was negative $42.4 billion as infrastructure deployment accelerated. Apple is expected to generate expanding free cash flow, while the sector still awaits monetization of enterprise AI.
- Apple Overtakes Nvidia to Become World’s Most Valuable Company
Apple reclaimed the title of world’s most valuable company on Friday, overtaking Nvidia as investors sought the perceived safety of the iPhone maker amid concerns over AI spending. Apple shares fell 1.2% to a $5.03 trillion market cap, while Nvidia dropped 4.2% to $4.93 trillion. Disappointing results from Intel, Amazon, Alphabet and Meta renewed doubts about the outlook for AI spending, and Apple, which has kept capital expenditures low, is up 27% in 2026 and projected to lift free cash flow 38% to $142 billion in fiscal 2026. The Nasdaq 100 fell 6.7% in October, its worst month since March 2025.

- A place where gold can be bought nearly 20 million dong cheaper: lessons from China's “open-door laboratory”
Hainan customs supervised 855 million yuan (about $128 million) in offshore duty-free purchases from October 1 to 7, covering 123,000 shopper visits and 696,800 items. Buyers of the same gold jewelry could pay up to 5,000 yuan less than on the mainland, about 19 million dong, because of the island's duty-free policy. The Hainan Free Trade Port has operated as a fully closed island since late 2025 under a “loose first line, tight second line” model, raising the share of goods with zero tariffs from 21% to 74% across more than 6,600 tariff lines. According to Dr. Nguyen Thai Chuyen, the island was chosen as an open-door laboratory for its sea-bounded geography, small economy and ASEAN orientation, with Hainan–ASEAN trade reaching 57.91 billion yuan (about $8.7 billion) in 2024.

- Could Investing in Moderna's Stock Double Your Money?
Moderna (MRNA) shares have risen more than 650% this year on enthusiasm for its cancer vaccine intismeran, which is not yet approved. Clinical trial results combining intismeran with Merck's Keytruda have been highly effective in reducing the risk of death or recurrence in melanoma patients, and Merck and Moderna are evaluating it for other cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer. Still, as of the end of last week the stock was down around 36% over five years. The article says the stock would need a valuation of around $180 billion to double, and that it may not be appropriate for investors with a low risk tolerance.
- The Next Generation of Dividend Kings: 3 Stocks to Watch
Dividend Kings are companies that have raised dividends for at least 50 consecutive years, and this article profiles three energy stocks approaching that milestone: ExxonMobil, Atmos Energy and Chevron. ExxonMobil announced its 44th consecutive dividend hike, to $4.28 per share quarterly (about 2.3% yield), after generating $19.1 billion in free cash flow in Q3 2026 and paying $4.3 billion in dividends. Atmos Energy, a natural gas utility serving over 3.3 million customers in the southern U.S., has paid and raised its dividend for 42 consecutive years, with the dividend consuming just under half of estimated 2026 earnings. Chevron raised its dividend for the 39th year in a row and offers the highest yield of the three at just over 3%, after generating $14.2 billion in adjusted free cash flow in Q3 2026. The article notes ExxonMobil's break-even price for Brent crude is about $35 per barrel, versus oil above $110, and expects Atmos's earnings to grow about 7% annually over the next three to five years.
- Google Parent Alphabet Just Hit a Major Milestone, and It Has Nothing to Do With Its $482 Billion Single-Session Loss
Alphabet shares fell nearly 13% in the October 29 session, losing more than $41 per share and about $482 billion in market value, the second-largest single-day loss on Wall Street after Nvidia's $593 billion drop last year. The sell-off reflects heavy spending on AI infrastructure, which pushed free cash flow to negative $9.1 billion in the September quarter. Google Search and other revenue rose 12% to about $63.4 billion but missed analyst expectations for a second straight quarter. Search made up less than 50% of Alphabet's $127.6 billion in quarterly net sales for the first time in its history, while Google Cloud revenue surged 103% to an annual run rate of nearly $123 billion.
- The Company Behind the New York Stock Exchange Is Now Building on Hyperliquid. Here's What It Means for Investors.
Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent of the New York Stock Exchange, announced it will launch a regulated U.S. perpetual futures market built on Hyperliquid's blockchain and developed by TradeXYZ, in which ICE will take a minority stake. No launch dates have been set, and regulators must still approve the deal. In the 30 days ended October 30, about $217.2 billion in perpetuals traded on Hyperliquid, generating $64.1 million in revenue. TradeXYZ holds 97% of the $4.1 billion in open interest across Hyperliquid's third-party markets, and almost all of the platform's fees go toward open-market HYPE purchases. Payward, the parent of the Kraken exchange, also plans to offer U.S. clients perps through Bitnomial, a CFTC-regulated exchange.
