- Barkin sees interest rate hikes ahead, but at a gradual pace
Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin said Thursday that the central bank will need to raise interest rates further, though he is unsure by how much or at what pace. In a CNBC interview at the Richmond Fed's 2026 CFO Summit, he voiced concern over inflation, saying unemployment is near record lows while inflation is too high. He said a gradual pace still makes sense given the uncertainty, and called inflation the most important risk right now. The Fed's benchmark rate is held at 3.75%–4%, and markets price a better than 80% chance of a December hike, according to CME Group's FedWatch tool.
- Google Joins The Surge Of Tech Layoffs
Buyouts are spreading from Microsoft to Oracle and now Google, and layoffs and buyouts across the biggest tech companies have topped 100,000 this year. Microsoft offered buyouts to 60,000 employees, while Oracle cut 21,000 people, about 13% of its staff. According to Reuters, Google has started “voluntary exit packages,” though it remains unclear whether they will stay voluntary. The author warns that if these firms are early signs, the US jobless rate could rise quickly: with a US workforce of 163 million people per the BLS, losing 1.6 million jobs would raise the jobless rate by 1%.
- Democratic sweep puts crypto on defensive in Washington
Democrats' sweep of Congress is likely to reset the political calculus for crypto, pushing the Clarity Act to the back burner and setting up a more adversarial approach in Washington. Critics such as Sen. Sherrod Brown returning to the Senate, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren keeping influence over financial policy, mean the new Congress may focus on scrutinizing President Trump's personal crypto dealings. TD Cowen's Jaret Seiberg said Clarity is unlikely to advance over the next two years. The crypto industry spent more than $200 million on the midterms, and according to Stand With Crypto, 19 pro-crypto candidates won Senate races versus eight anti-crypto candidates, while 228 pro-crypto House candidates were elected versus 106.

- CEO Andy Jassy Just Told Investors That AWS Can Grow Revenue 40% in 2027 and 2028 and Eventually Become a Trillion-Dollar Business. Is It Enough to Get Wall Street on Board?
On Amazon's third-quarter earnings call, CEO Andy Jassy said he expects AWS revenue to grow more than 40% in both 2027 and 2028, and for AWS to become a trillion-dollar business within five to 10 years. AWS revenue rose 39.3% year over year, its fastest pace in nearly five years, with an annualized run rate of $184 billion, and it generated nearly 64% of Amazon's operating profit from nearly 23% of revenue. AWS's backlog reached $578 billion, and inference accounts for well over half of its AI revenue. However, Amazon continues to guide for $220 billion in capital expenditures this year, free cash flow was negative $42.4 billion over the past 12 months, and the stock fell the day after the report as investors weighed the high spending.
