1 day agoU.S. investors double-down on domestic markets as investment flows surge
Leaders of major global finance firms at a Riyadh forum said the United States remains the primary destination for global capital, as fund flows reversed toward U.S. assets in recent months. Larry Fink of BlackRock noted large global investors are heavily overweight U.S. equities, and there is no obvious catalyst for an imminent slowdown. The shift consolidates the U.S.’s exit from global asset-allocation rotations and reinforces dollar dominance despite valuation concerns. Analysts say the move also reflects a search for safe-yield and liquidity in uncertain times.

1 day agoU.S. consumer confidence dips to 94.6 in October amid job-market anxiety
In October 2025 the Conference Board’s consumer-confidence index dropped to 94.6 from 95.6 in September, the weakest reading since early this year. Short-term expectations for income, business conditions and employment fell to 71.5—below the key threshold of 80 that often signals recession risk. Consumers cited inflation and job worries as chief concerns. Although the current situation reading edged higher, weak expectations indicate sentiment may soften further. Economists say this adds to mounting pressure on Federal Reserve to consider rate cuts.

1 day agoUK productivity downgrade raises £20-27 billion fiscal shortfall for next five years
The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) in the UK revised down long-term productivity growth by 0.3 percentage points, translating into a projected fiscal hole of between £20 billion and £27 billion by 2029-30. The downgrade forces Rachel Reeves’ Treasury into a difficult position given its manifesto pledge to avoid new income tax, VAT or national insurance hikes. The shortfall adds pressure for revenue measures or spending cuts and fuels debate about the UK’s growth model post-Brexit and post-pandemic. Analysts warn that missing growth targets may lead to higher borrowing or structural reforms.

China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) agreed a version 3.0 free-trade agreement that enhances tariff relief, digital trade cooperation and green-economy links. The deal, signed during a summit in Malaysia, coincides with heightened U.S.–China trade tensions and reflects China’s push to deepen regional economic integration. With bilateral trade between China and ASEAN at about $771 billion last year, the pact signals both a diversification of trade strategy and a stance against protectionism. Analysts say this may trigger ripple effects with other major economies rethinking supply-chain partnerships.

Amundi, Europe’s largest asset manager, reported Q3 net new money of €15.1 billion (~$17.6 billion), topping expectations. The inflows were powered by strong demand for passive funds and ETFs, especially via Asian joint-ventures. Assets under management reached a record €2.32 trillion. While fee-pressure remains in the industry, Amundi said it expects margin support from scale gains and further growth in the ETF segment.

1 day agoIndia’s IPO market hits all-time high with ₹4.18 lakh crore drafts filed
India’s primary market is surging: 288 companies filed draft prospectuses in 2025 worth about ₹4.18 lakh crore ($500 billion) and 111 IPOs raised ₹2.18 lakh crore so far this year. Domestic investor participation via mutual funds and systematic investment plans (SIPs) is fuelling the boom, enabling companies to launch large issues even amid global volatility. Investment bankers predict that 2025 may end with about 130-135 mainboard IPOs – a 20% increase on 2024. The depth of retail liquidity is reducing dependence on foreign capital.

1 day agoBitcoin slips ahead of Fed-week as traders price in 4.25% rate cut
The crypto market turned cautious on Oct 28, 2025, with Bitcoin hovering around $114,000 after a weekend rally stalled. Key tokens such as Ethereum and Solana declined 2-4% as traders positioned for the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting expecting a 4.25% interest-rate cut and assessed regulatory-risk signals. Open-interest in BTC futures climbed to nearly $30 billion, raising concerns about leverage and liquidation risk. Some analysts warn that unless Bitcoin convincingly breaks above the $116,000 pivot, a deeper retracement toward $100,000 cannot be ruled out.

Analysts said the milestone highlights the strength of Apple’s ecosystem and pricing power. Still, Apple ended the day slightly below the peak valuation but remains one of the most valuable companies globally.

1 day agoU.S. chip startup Substrate unveils tool to compete with ASML
Substrate, a U.S. startup, announced it has developed a chip-making lithography tool using X-ray technology that aims to rival equipment from Dutch giant ASML. The tool has been demonstrated at U.S. national labs and the company said it raised $100 million at a valuation exceeding $1 billion. If successful, the technology could reshape semiconductor production and reduce costs for advanced chips. The move also aligns with U.S. efforts to bolster domestic chip-manufacturing infrastructure amid global supply-chain competition.

1 day agoGlobal stocks hit record highs ahead of Fed decision
Global equity markets reached new record levels as technology shares rallied and signs of easing U.S.–China trade tensions boosted sentiment. The Federal Reserve meeting this week, expected to deliver a rate cut, further strengthened investor risk appetite. The S&P 500, Nasdaq and other benchmarks closed at fresh highs, underpinned by a slide in U.S. Treasury yields near multi-month lows. Market watchers noted that the lack of economic data due to the U.S. government shutdown added to the uncertainty, yet the optimism around policy and trade carried the rally.

According to data from EPFR Global for the third week of October 2025, bond mutual funds captured around $17.2 billion of net inflows, while equity funds managed about $14.1 billion.

Alternative-asset segments and gold funds also posted healthy inflows, pointing to diversified hedging behaviour as markets await clarity on central-bank policy and inflation trends.

Gold prices dropped over 2 % to $3,980 per ounce as investors reduced hedge exposure ahead of the Federal Reserve’s upcoming interest-rate decision. The pullback follows a broader rally in equities and a strengthening U.S. dollar. Traders said profit-taking and easing geopolitical tensions contributed to the decline. Analysts view the drop as temporary, noting that central-bank buying and long-term inflation expectations still underpin bullion demand. The next support zone is seen near $3,950 if risk sentiment continues improving.

The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau repealed the 2022 bad-actor registry, which tracked firms with repeated consumer-protection violations. The agency argued it duplicated existing state-level registries and imposed undue costs on small lenders. Banking groups praised the rollback as a step toward regulatory streamlining, while consumer advocates warned it reduces transparency in non-bank lending. The move marks a significant regulatory shift under the new leadership at CFPB, reflecting a lighter-touch approach to financial-sector oversight.

United Parcel Service said it has reduced 48,000 positions this year, continuing its restructuring aimed at cost control and automation. The cuts, spanning warehouse and support roles, reflect falling parcel volumes and the end of pandemic-driven logistics expansion. UPS expects annual cost savings of roughly $1.2 billion and plans further AI-enabled network optimisation in 2026. The company emphasised that no customer service disruptions are expected. Analysts interpret the move as part of a sector-wide reset in the global shipping industry.

The Conference Board’s consumer confidence index slipped to 94.6 in October 2025, the weakest since April, as Americans grew more anxious about job availability and inflation. The share of respondents saying jobs are ‘plentiful’ fell, while those calling them ‘hard to get’ rose sharply. Economists note that households earning under $75,000 showed the steepest drop in optimism. The soft data could push the Federal Reserve closer to rate cuts if inflation stabilises and labour-market conditions continue to weaken in coming months.

Traders noted a technical breakdown in the metal’s trend and suggested that the next support might lie closer to $3,900. Analysts said the move reflects shifting sentiment in commodity markets and may erode the hedge appeal of gold in near-term portfolios.

At the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, senior executives from leading financial institutions expressed confidence that the United States will remain the primary destination for global institutional capital in the near-term. Despite concerns over rising valuations, public-debt levels and geopolitical tension, they cited the scale of U.S. capital markets, liquidity depth and tech-growth leadership as key appeal. Overweight positioning in U.S. assets was the consensus, even as some warned of selective bubble risk in AI-driven stocks and favoured active management discipline.

Despite concerns over rising valuations, public-debt levels and geopolitical tension, they cited the scale of U.S. capital markets, liquidity depth and tech-growth leadership as key appeal. Overweight positioning in U.S. assets was the consensus, even as some warned of selective bubble risk in AI-driven stocks and favoured active management discipline.

1 day agoMorning Bid: Gold sold, stocks stall ahead of Fed verdict
Global equity markets paused after strong recent gains, with investors looking ahead to key central-bank decisions and tech-earnings releases. At the same time, gold prices fell sharply—slipping below $4,000 an ounce and down more than 10% from this month’s peak. Equity volatility indices (VIX and MOVE) dropped to multi-week lows, suggesting investor complacency. Asian currencies such as the Chinese yuan and Japanese yen strengthened amid geopolitical and policy developments. The mixed signal in risk assets reflects cautious optimism ahead of next week’s policy watershed.

Leading executives at the Future Investment Initiative conference in Riyadh noted that while the private-credit sector remains healthy, lending standards are showing early signs of loosening. They pointed to increasing leverage, thinner covenants, and aggressive pricing in loans to large corporations outside the traditional banking system. Though no immediate bubble is flagged, there is heightened vigilance over liquidity risk in less-regulated credit channels. The executives suggested fund managers tighten underwriting discipline and build buffers amid evolving market conditions.

Research from Morgan Stanley shows that despite popular concern, U.S. equity-market concentration is not unusually high: the top 10 U.S. stocks represent about 33.8% of the market cap of the S&P 500 as of September 2025—placing the U.S. as the fifth-least concentrated among leading markets. Countries such as France, Taiwan and Switzerland exhibit much higher single-stock dominance. Analysts say this may soften corporate-governance and diversification concerns tied to large-cap dominance, though they caution that investor behaviour still underweights international allocation and hidden risks remain.

Microsoft’s prior right of first refusal on computing services is removed, but its commercial ties to OpenAI continue through to 2032. Wall Street responded positively, lifting Microsoft’s market valuation above US $4 trillion.

1 day agoProfit booking drags Sensex and Nifty lower amid volatility in metals and PSU banks
Indian equity benchmarks fell modestly on Tuesday as investors booked profits following a strong previous week. The Sensex slipped 150 points while the Nifty dipped below 25,950, pressured by weakness in metal and PSU bank stocks. Analysts said near-term volatility stemmed from global trade optimism and shifting commodity prices. Broader market action remained mixed with selective buying in defensives. Traders expect consolidation to continue until clarity emerges on global bond yields and central bank rate cues later this week.

Data from CoinGate shows that while stablecoins like USDT briefly led crypto payment volume, Bitcoin has regained the top spot for retail payments in 2025, amid regulatory shifts such as the EU’s MiCA rules phasing out USDT dominance there. U.S. orders accounted for 40.3 % of Bitcoin payment volume year-to-date, followed by Germany (6.3 %), the UK (5.8 %) and the Netherlands (5.2 %). The trend suggests a shifting structure in crypto-payment flows and regulatory influence on instrument preferences.

India’s initial public offering market continues to sizzle, with companies having raised around ₹2.18 lakh crore (~$26 billion) between October 1, 2024 and October 24, 2025 — marking an all-time high. Some 288 firms filed draft prospectuses during this period, targeting a combined ₹4.18 lakh crore in proceeds. The strong momentum is attributed to robust investor appetite, improved listing valuations, and favourable macro-conditions. While larger IPOs remain selective, the SME platform and smaller-cap listing activity remain vibrant, reflecting underlying confidence in the public-markets channel.

Senior executives from major financial firms at a conference in Saudi Arabia remarked that the United States will continue to draw the largest share of global investment flows, despite concerns about slow-down risks. They pointed to strong equity and private markets, especially growth in artificial-intelligence-related investments, as drivers of inbound capital. While some flagged bubble risks, the overarching view was that the U.S. remains the safest high-capacity destination for global institutional cash in a fragmented world. The comments underscored global confidence in the U.S. investment landscape.

Foreign investors have taken Indian government bonds holdings to an all-time high of approximately ₹3.11 trillion (≈ $35.4 billion), representing about 6.8% of issuances available under the Fully Accessible Route (FAR). This surge has been driven by expectations of rate cuts, inclusion of Indian debt indexes and supportive currency interventions by the Reserve Bank of India.

Gold prices tumbled more than 2% to hit a three-week low as easing U.S.-China trade tensions lifted risk appetite and reduced safe-haven demand. Spot gold fell to around $3,924.99/oz, while U.S. futures slipped to about $3,940.20. The shift suggests that even moderate improvements in global trade can significantly sway traditional hedges, raising questions about gold’s near-term role as a defensive asset in volatile environments.

India’s equity market is showcasing a clear sector-rotation pattern: banks and financials, which dominated earlier this year, are losing traction while metals and IT are taking the lead. Analysts point out that capital is shifting toward growth-linked sectors amid increasing global tech demand and commodity strength. Data from July reveals foreign institutional investors favouring mid-cap IT and infra, while domestic support moves toward metal and commodity plays. The balancing act will depend on valuations, earnings momentum and external triggers.

Global equity markets took a breather on Tuesday as investors await a fresh round of major tech earnings and key central-bank decisions. The STOXX 600 breached new highs earlier in the week but edged back when caution crept in. Safe-haven assets such as gold also lost ground, slipping back below US$4,000 per ounce. Analysts suggest that unless earnings and policy signals turn sharply positive, the rally is likely to consolidate rather than extend rapidly in the near term.

The STOXX 600 breached new highs earlier in the week but edged back when caution crept in. Safe-haven assets such as gold also lost ground, slipping back below US$4,000 per ounce. Analysts suggest that unless earnings and policy signals turn sharply positive, the rally is likely to consolidate rather than extend rapidly in the near term.

India’s benchmark indices traded near flat on Tuesday, with the Nifty 50 up 0.2% to 26,018.25 and the BSE Sensex climbing 0.14% to 84,900.55. Metal stocks led the advance, rising 1.2%, while broader market momentum was constrained by profit-booking after recent gains. Market participants cited optimism over a potential U.S.–China trade-deal framework and a possible rate cut by the Federal Reserve, but stressed that breadth remains narrow and global cues will be key for next-leg direction.

The NIFTY Capital Markets Index has delivered about a 30% return over the past 12 months, emerging as the best-performing thematic and sectoral index across India's equity universe. Within that, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) itself recorded roughly a 70% gain. The performance reflects growing financialisation of assets, rising brokerage/fin-tech activity and strong investor participation in capital-markets services. Analysts note the strength is noteworthy given broader market headwinds and muted earnings in other sectors.

India’s equity markets have under-performed global peers over the past year, but analysts say a rebound may be near as foreign institutional investor (FII) interest increases and corporate earnings begin to strengthen. According to market strategist Sunil Koul, improving earnings quality combined with renewed foreign capital flows could help revive broader market performance in the near term. Caution remains over valuations and global headwinds, but sentiment appears to be tilting more positive than recent months.

The surge in commodity-linked passive products reversed a long-standing dominance of active equity funds in folio growth and signals a shift in investor behaviour toward lower-cost, diversified exposures.

India’s industrial output rose 4% year-on-year in September, ahead of market expectations of about 3%, driven by a 4.8% rise in manufacturing and a 10.2% surge in consumer durables output. Electricity generation rose 3.1%, while mining fell 0.4%. Analysts say the data points to an improving capex cycle and stronger domestic demand, though consumer non-durables output declined 2.9%. The April-September period saw output grow 3% versus a year ago. The government may use this as support for further stimulus decisions.

Equity markets across Asia showed mixed performance: Japan’s Nikkei 225 slipped about 0.2%, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index edged up roughly 0.3%. Investor sentiment remains cautious as key policy decisions and earnings releases loom in the U.S. and China. Technology and export-linked stocks led gains, but trading volumes were light with participants adopting a wait-and-see posture. Without strong catalysts, analysts suggest markets may consolidate in the near term rather than breakout sharply.

1 day agoForeign investor withdrawal hits near US$17 billion in Indian equities this year
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have pulled nearly US$17 billion from Indian equities so far this year, marking one of the largest outflows in Asia. This compares to net inflows of just US$124 million in 2024, reflecting growing global capital caution and higher-risk perception in emerging-market allocations. Analysts suggest that renewed foreign interest, combined with improving corporate earnings, could be a trigger for a broader market recovery, although valuations and global rate paths remain key headwinds.

1 day agoU.S. continues to attract majority of global investment flows, finance executives say
At the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, major finance firm CEOs stated that the U.S. will keep drawing the largest share of global capital despite concerns over economic slowdown and debt levels. BlackRock’s CEO pointed to a recent uptick in funds returning to U.S. dollar-based assets. Meanwhile Goldman Sachs noted that the “vast majority of capital allocation” will remain in the U.S., citing stronger growth prospects compared to Europe or Asia. Risk of a market correction was flagged given high valuations.

1 day agoEmerging-market sovereign debt gains momentum with spread tightening in Q3
Emerging-market debt delivered positive returns in the third quarter of 2025, driven by spread tightening and carry returns as global yields softened. According to analysts at William Blair, the J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index returned approximately 4.8 % in Q3. High-yield local-currency debt outperformed investment-grade parts of the space. Fund-managers say the combination of resilient fundamentals in many emerging markets and investor search-for-yield amid low global rates fuelled the inflows. Risk remains if U.S. rates reverse or external-financing pressures pick up.

1 day agoIMF warns sovereign-debt, bond-market stresses remain elevated globally
The International Monetary Fund’s latest report highlights that global financial-stability risks remain elevated amid stretched asset valuations, pressure in sovereign bond markets, and increased interconnectedness of banks and non-bank financial institutions. According to the update, an abrupt repricing of risk assets or surge in bond yields could strain financial systems, especially in emerging markets with high external debt exposures. The report urges policymakers to rebuild buffers, improve transparency and strengthen financial-market resilience.

Investors also noted that a potential Fed rate cut and weaker dollar limit gold’s upside, and that inflation-hedge motives may be tempered if monetary easing accelerates. Some analysts warn gold could test US$3,500 if risk sentiment remains elevated.

China-ASEAN upgrade of free-trade pact broadens to digital and green sectors, signalling deeper regional integration.
Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and China have signed a major upgrade to their free-trade agreement, extending coverage to digital trade, green-economy sectors and new-industry supply chains. The pact — dubbed Free Trade Area 3.0 — was sealed at the ASEAN summit in Kuala Lumpur and aims to deepen integration across Asia amid global trade-friction headwinds. Analysts say the deal may shift regional supply chains and bolster investment in Southeast Asia’s manufacturing and tech base.

Global markets are navigating a cautious mood as major U.S. tech companies prepare to release earnings, while central banks weigh policy in coming days.

Investors await clarity on whether the Federal Reserve will cut rates and end its quantitative-tightening programme. In the meantime, safe-haven assets like gold and bonds are under pressure as risk sentiment edges higher. Surrounding macro data and policy cues are expected to dictate the next leg of market direction.

1 day agoPassive mutual fund folios outpace active equity accounts in India
In September, – for the first time – passive mutual-fund schemes in India added more new folios (~2.1 million including FoFs) than active equity funds (~1.4 million). The shift was largely driven by gold and silver ETFs, which saw strong inflows as investors sought commodity-based exposure amid market volatility. Industry participants say this reflects a structural change in investor behaviour, with cost-efficient passive strategies gaining appeal. Fund houses are expected to respond by launching more passive products and promoting ETF options aggressively.

1 day agoIndia plans to allow up to 49% foreign investment in state-run banks, draft says
The Indian government is planning to raise the direct foreign-investment cap for state-run banks from the current ~20% to 49%, while retaining at least 51% government ownership, according to sources familiar with discussions. The move aims to bring public banks closer in structure to private lenders, where foreign ownership limits currently stand at 74%. The proposed change could unlock additional foreign capital and support balance-sheet growth in state lenders, but requires regulatory approvals and safeguards to protect national interest.

Major Indian refiners, including Indian Oil Corporation and Reliance Industries, have paused placing new orders for Russian crude oil as they await clarity on recent U.S. sanctions targeting key Russian producers. With previous imports from Russia accounting for nearly 40% of Russia’s oil exports, Indian firms are shifting to spot markets and other suppliers. The move comes amid concerns over compliance, payment-channel risks and global trading disruptions, raising short-term cost and supply risks for India’s refining sector.

The Indian rupee slipped to a two-week low around ₹88.40 per US dollar in early trading as importer dollar demand and maturing non-deliverable forward (NDF) positions weighed on the currency. Intervention by state-run banks on behalf of the Reserve Bank of India helped curb further falls, but traders warn the currency remains vulnerable until global dollar strength eases and foreign flows pick up. Analysts expect the rupee to trade in a narrow range around ₹88 as large importer hedges expire this week.

1 day agoBlackstone Expands Indian Banking Portfolio With Strategic Interest in Karur Vysya and Midcap Lenders
Global investment firm Blackstone is exploring a strategic entry into India’s mid-tier banking space, beginning with interest in Karur Vysya Bank following its recent share-price surge. The move aligns with Blackstone’s broader $6 billion Asia-Pacific financial-services allocation for 2025-26. Industry executives note that the firm has already invested in NBFCs and housing-finance ventures, signaling confidence in India’s credit-growth trajectory. Analysts believe potential deals could involve minority stakes of 4–6 percent, focused on retail-loan expansion and digital-banking upgrades. The approach reflects Blackstone’s shift from real estate dominance to diversified financial-asset exposure across emerging markets.

Sell-side notes highlighted the importance of backlog conversion and margins as capex for AI-ready data centers rises. Options markets priced pronounced event risk, with traders eyeing guidance and bookings color for direction at the open.

Analysts flagged free-cash-flow cadence and capex intentions as the next catalysts alongside product updates. Shares were volatile pre-market as traders debated whether operational leverage can re-accelerate into 2026 without further price pressure.

Ahead of Wall Street’s open, equity futures were little changed, with S&P 500 contracts up roughly 0.3% as traders calibrated positioning into a dense Q3 reporting slate. Volatility gauges held subdued, breadth screens were neutral, and sector leadership was diffuse, suggesting limited overnight risk transmission. Options dealers cited muted skew as market makers marked time before mega-cap releases. Rate-sensitive pockets stayed stable with Treasury yields flat, while crude drifted. Desks flagged potential index moves around guidance language and capex commentary from platform companies, given AI infrastructure spend’s growing sway over profit and margin trajectories.
