Private-sector job growth held steady at 86,000 jobs in October, matching the downwardly revised September figure and slightly above the Dow Jones estimate of 75,000, according to ADP. Trade, transportation and utilities added 39,000 jobs, education and health services 28,000, and leisure and hospitality 19,000. Professional and business services fell by 27,000 and natural resources and mining by 8,000. Pay for job-changers rose 4.8% annually, and a BLS report showed quits hit their highest level since March 2025. The BLS nonfarm payrolls report is due Friday, with Dow Jones economists expecting a gain of 59,000 after September's 29,000.

- U.S. jobs market perks up, but it’s still not a great time to get hired
U.S. job openings rose to a four-month high in September, and hiring also increased. The article suggests the gain is mild and may not be sustainable in a sluggish U.S. labor market.
- Seasonal Postings 43 per cent Below 2018
Hiring platform Indeed data show the UK seasonal jobs market remains subdued even though jobseeker interest in Christmas work is holding up. As of 2 October, seasonal postings were 43% below their 2018 level, a steeper fall than the 32% drop across the wider UK jobs market, where overall postings are down 11% since the start of 2026. Graduate postings are down around 13% year on year and at their lowest for this time of year since 2020, while summer temporary and seasonal postings had one of their weakest summers in four years. Indeed's Senior Economist Jack Kennedy said subdued seasonal hiring means more competition for available roles, and that young people and other jobseekers seeking a temporary bridge into work face narrower opportunities.

- US Dollar Price Forecast: DXY Eyes 101.180 as EUR/USD, GBP/USD Rise on Election Results
The dollar weakened after Democrats won both chambers of Congress in the US midterm elections, and investors moved toward Treasuries while weighing effects on federal spending, growth and oversight of the AI sector. The article stresses these are possible policy outcomes, not enacted changes. US job openings rose by 333,000 to 7.523 million in September from a revised 7.190 million in August, but the Bureau of Labor Statistics described the change as “little changed.” In the eurozone, October manufacturing PMI eased to 52.7 from 52.9, while operating costs rose at their fastest pace in five months. Sterling drew support from expectations of a Bank of England rate increase on November 5, its first since August 2023, though economists differ on whether more hikes would follow.

- What sets AMD data centers apart as Intel stock keeps sliding?
AMD beat Wall Street estimates for its third-quarter earnings, as AI data center revenue nearly doubled to $8.55 billion. Guests said Intel posted strong data center numbers but weak PC sales, and its stock plunged, while AMD's forward guidance, contracts, backlog and margins were seen as stronger. Revenue could grow 80% in 2027, up from an earlier estimate of 35%. They noted that higher memory prices and component costs were hurting PC demand, with 2027 PC shipments projected to fall by a double-digit percentage and gaming sales down 8% year-on-year. Commentators compared AMD's focus on data centers to Nvidia's shift from gaming chips to AI.
- Dow Jones futures surge 1,000 points after Democratic win, Trump makes surprising new move
Dow Jones futures jumped as much as 1,083 points, or 2.1%, after Democrats won majorities in both the House and Senate in the midterm elections and took several key governorships, including Texas. The result could curb President Trump's policies, which combined business tax cuts with tariffs and the war in Iran, contributing to higher inflation. S&P 500 futures rose 1.1%, while Nasdaq-100 gained only 0.4% as AI-linked stocks came under pressure. Trump told the New York Times he was “fully prepared” to accept the results and said he and Republican lawmakers would work with Democrats, while Walmart rose 2%, Bank of America 1.9%, UnitedHealth 1.4% and Molina Healthcare 6.3%. Investors remain wary of possible restrictions on data center construction, as Gina Hinojosa, who pledged to pause new data center projects, won the Texas governor's race.
- What i-80 Gold (IAU) Said on Its Q3 Earnings Call
i-80 Gold said the feasibility study for Granite Creek Underground is complete, outlining an 8.5-year mine life, while Archimedes is set to begin mining in Q4 2026. The Lone Tree refurbishment is on schedule for first gold in Q4 2027, with its $430 million capital estimate largely intact. The company expects production to rise from 40,000–50,000 ounces annually to 150,000–200,000 ounces from 2028, with 2026 output in the lower half of guidance. In Q3, Granite Creek produced about 9,100 ounces of gold, though processing lagged mining due to limited availability at a third-party processor. At quarter-end, the company held about $411 million in cash and could access up to roughly $350 million in additional liquidity over the next 18 months, subject to financing arrangements and approvals.
- CoreWeave, Nebius Slide As Blue Wave Clouds AI Boom
CoreWeave and Nebius shares fell as investors worried that the “blue wave” result in the midterm elections could slow the build-out of AI data centers.
- AI data center stocks dip as midterm elections shake up Wall Street
CNBC cited $173 million in General Election data center advertising, almost all negative, with $140 million from Democratic advertisers. An NBC exit poll found 56% of voters called AI and data centers a crucial or major factor in their vote. In Texas, Hinojosa defeated Abbott, and her platform includes a moratorium or new requirements for data centers in a state expected to account for a quarter of capacity by 2030. Panelists said investors are wary, pushing down neocloud stocks such as CoreWeave and Applied Digital, along with Tesla and SpaceX, while hyperscalers were holding up better. They also noted that public opposition to nearby data centers over noise, gas turbines, fumes and water use had grown.
- Why Cipher Digital Stock Lost 53.9% in October
Cipher Digital (CIFR) fell 53.9% in October, versus a 0.9% dip in the S&P 500, as AI infrastructure stocks came under pressure over heavy borrowing needs. The sell-off intensified after the company raised $850 million through 0% convertible notes due 2032, with a conversion price of $15.31 per share, and the stock dropped 12.8% and 12.4% as the deal priced. Other pressures included a $359 million investment in the Barber Lake campus where construction costs rose, a Barclays warning on AI financing, and a record $6.3 billion Binance hack that hit crypto stocks. Bitcoin mining still accounted for 78% of Q3 revenue. Cipher has $16.6 billion in contracted revenue and expects about $864 million in annual net operating income once three campuses stabilize, yet it owes about $6.7 billion and was worth about $3 billion at the end of October. The article says the key question is whether the company can sign leases that justify its borrowing.
