- Oct. 27 Has Historically Marked the Stock Market’s Autumn Bottom
Deutsche Bank's Jim Reid said October 27 has historically marked the bottom of a typical year's final dip, and stocks rose that day: the S&P 500 gained 0.60% to 7,722.60 and the Nasdaq Composite rose 1.18%. Reid found the S&P 500 was higher over the three months from early October in 21 of the last 23 midterm years, but cautioned that “seasonality isn’t destiny” and that worries around Iran, AI and France remain. Brent crude still settled at $113.88 after falling 1.67%. Investors are watching the Fed decision on October 28, earnings from Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon, and the midterm elections on November 3. The article flags the October 23 low of 7,623.68 as the level to watch.
- Binance hack fallout, U.S. midterms and jobs report: Crypto Week Ahead
- A big sell-off collides with more Big Tech earnings and a midterm election: What to watch this week
Tech stocks sold off after weak earnings from Alphabet, Amazon and Intel: Alphabet fell 13% as both revenue and profit missed, Intel dropped over 28% on weaker PC sales, and Amazon was sold off despite AWS revenue of $45.9 billion, up 40%. Evercore ISI's Mark Mahaney described it as 'an expectations correction and not a fundamentals correction.' In crypto, Binance, the world's largest exchange, was hit by what investigators say is the biggest crypto hack in history, affecting $6.3 billion in digital assets. Binance said it will cover all losses and temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals, but ether still fell 4% to around $2,200 and BNB dropped more than 5%.
- Binance $6.3B record hack sparks pre-election political chatter
Binance suffered a hack of about $6.3 billion, described as the biggest crypto heist in history, and political and administration figures began weighing in as a US election approached. Binance said it would absorb the financial impact so users would not bear the losses, that about $3 billion of the stolen funds had been frozen, and that it was working with law enforcement and blockchain intelligence firms to trace the funds; the hack was widely attributed to a North Korean group. Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis cited the stalled Clarity Act, arguing it would let crypto firms freeze suspicious transactions when law enforcement asks, while Democratic Representative Maxine Waters criticized the push for deregulation and pointed to the Trump family's ties to Binance. The Senate failed to pass a cloture motion on the Clarity Act over disputed ethics provisions that would restrict officials and their families from issuing or profiting from digital assets, and CFTC Chair Michael Selig said the hack proved the need for crypto market regulation because offshore exchanges lack US-style safeguards.
- Apple earnings, Binance hack, midterm elections - What’s moving markets
Apple reports earnings on Monday, its first under new CEO John Ternus, with investors watching the holiday-quarter outlook, AI strategy and whether higher memory-chip costs squeeze profit. Apple reclaimed the title of world's most valuable publicly traded company on Friday, with a market capitalization of $5.03 trillion, while Nvidia fell to $4.93 trillion. Binance customers withdrew $3.64 billion, about 2.1% of the exchange's assets, after a security breach linked to North Korea that reportedly saw $6.3 billion stolen last week, and the exchange said withdrawals are stabilising. Bitcoin rebounded above $78,000 after touching a six-week low on Friday, while U.S. stock futures pointed higher. Oil fell more than 3% as hopes grew for diplomacy to end the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, with Brent for January delivery down 3.3% to $109.70 a barrel.

- FPT Loses VND 120,000 Billion in Market Value Over Chairman Trương Gia Bình's “Rebirth” Performance
FPT shares fell 4.74% to VND 50,200 per share on November 2, their lowest level in three years, and the stock has lost over VND 120,800 billion in market value since early February 2025, even as profit kept growing double digits. Pressure has come from sustained foreign net selling, with over 210 million shares (nearly VND 17,000 billion) sold in the first 10 months of 2026, and concerns that AI could reshape traditional software outsourcing, a worry that also weighs on peers such as Infosys and Accenture. Yet FPT posted record Q3 2026 profit attributable to parent shareholders of VND 2,723 billion, and nine-month profit reached VND 7,778 billion, up 13.3%. Vietcap Securities forecasts FPT's profit growth at an average of 14% a year over 2026–2029, below the 22% recorded in 2021–2024.

- Prediction: Netflix Will Begin Paying a Dividend in 2027 and Beat the S&P 500 During the Next Decade
The author predicts Netflix will begin paying a dividend in 2027, after its stock fell 7% over the past five years while the Nasdaq Composite rose 75% and the S&P 500 rose 66%. Revenue and earnings are at record highs but are inflated by a one-time $2.8 billion termination fee from Skydance, and full-year 2026 advertising revenue is now projected at $2.7 billion, down from $3 billion. Netflix bought back 63.9 million shares for $4.8 billion in Q3 2026, its largest quarterly repurchase ever, and has $22.3 billion of authorized buybacks remaining; the author views the size of these buybacks as the best signal a dividend could be coming. Analysts' average estimate is $3.77 in 2027 EPS, up 5.3% from $3.58 in 2026, and the stock trades at 16.4 times projected 2026 earnings versus 18.7 for the S&P 500.
- Medallion reports high-grade drill results at Kundip Mining Centre
Medallion Metals has released final results from its 2026 infill drilling programme at the Gem deposit within the Kundip Mining Centre in Western Australia, where the Ravensthorpe Gold Project is under development. The programme comprised 22 reverse circulation and diamond holes totalling 3,093m across the upper levels, largely confirming earlier high-grade results in zones targeted for early development. Key intercepts included 3m at 17.8 g/t gold and 0.3% copper from 66m, and 2m at 21.3 g/t gold and 0.8% copper from 58m. The company said the results strengthen confidence in the grade, width and geometry of the lodes, and several short-strike lodes were closed off as expected. Project development is progressing, with box-cut excavation at 55% completion, underground development scheduled to start in November 2026, and first underground ore expected in the second quarter of 2027.
- C3 Metals Intersects 64.9 Metres at 3.45% Copper Equivalent, Including 23.3 Metres at 6.64% Copper Equivalent at its Khaleesi Project, Peru - Highest Grade Copper and Gold Mineralization Intersected to Date at Khaleesi
C3 Metals (TSXV: CCCM) intersected 64.9 metres at 3.45% copper equivalent (2.53% copper, 0.87 g/t gold, 11.6 g/t silver) in drill hole KHZ5790-005 at its 100%-owned Khaleesi copper project in southern Peru, including 23.3 metres at 6.64% copper equivalent. The company says these are the highest copper grades encountered to date at Khaleesi, and follow-up drilling is underway to test the geometry, continuity and extent of the high-grade mineralization. Copper equivalent uses three-year trailing average prices for 2023–2025 and assumes 80% metallurgical recovery. All intervals are downhole core lengths, and true thicknesses have not yet been determined.
- Apple's new CEO faces earnings test as rising chip costs cloud outlook
