India Proposes Stringent AI-Content Labelling Rules Amid Deepfake Concerns
The Indian IT Ministry has released draft amendments to its IT Rules, proposing mandatory labelling of AI-generated content to fight deepfakes and synthetic misinformation. Significant social media platforms would need to require user declarations on whether content is AI-generated, and apply visible markers or metadata on synthetic media. For images, labels must cover at least 10% of the visual area; for audio, the first 10% of the clip. 
The rules also bar platforms from removing these identifiers. Feedback is being solicited by 6 November.

US tech giants issue nearly US$90 billion in bonds to fund AI expansion
Major U.S. tech firms have tapped the public bond markets to raise almost **US$90 billion** since September to fund investments in artificial-intelligence infrastructure and data-centres. 
Companies including Alphabet Inc., Meta Platforms, Inc., Oracle Corporation and Amazon.com, Inc. have issued multi-billion-dollar deals, a significant shift from previous cash-funded models. Investors are growing uneasy about the surge in debt and the ability of long-term AI returns to justify the financing, raising questions about tech valuations amid macro uncertainty.

Tech stocks still on track for record US $75 billion inflow despite mounting valuation worries

Tech stocks still on track for record US $75 billion inflow despite mounting valuation worries
Global tech stocks are forecast to receive around US $75 billion in inflows in 2025, driven by investor conviction in the sector despite elevated valuations and recent sell-offs. 
 According to flow data, tech equities attracted around US $4.4 billion in a recent week even as risk appetite dipped and crypto funds saw large outflows. The dynamic underscores the structural tilt toward technology, though analysts caution that strong flows alone may not offset fundamental concerns about earnings and pricing power.

Eli Lilly and Company hits US $1 trillion market-cap, first pharma to join elite club
Eli Lilly became the first pharmaceutical firm to reach a US $1 trillion market value, driven by its strong growth in weight-loss drugs and metabolic therapies. 
The milestone underscores shifting investor interest toward healthcare as tech valuations face pressure. Analysts say the move reflects confidence in long-term earnings durability despite broader macro uncertainty. However, with the firm now firmly in mega-cap territory, the challenge will be maintaining growth and justifying the premium accorded by markets.

Global fintech investment hits lowest six-month level since 2020 despite AI surge

Global fintech investment hits lowest six-month level since 2020 despite AI surge
Global fintech fundraising in H1 2025 reached around US$44.7 billion, marking the weakest six-month period since early 2020. Investment activity spiked in digital-assets and AI-enabled fintechs, but overall deal volume and value fell as higher interest rates and macro uncertainty weighed on investor appetite. 
While the Americas accounted for over half the total funding, Asia-Pacific remained subdued with just US$4.3 billion in deals. Analysts interpret the slowdown as a reset of fintech growth expectations rather than an outright collapse, pointing to selective capital allocation over broad expansion.

Hong Kong eases virtual-asset rules to boost liquidity in digital-asset trading

Hong Kong eases virtual-asset rules to boost liquidity in digital-asset trading
Hong Kong’s regulator has relaxed rules for virtual-asset trading-platforms (VATPs) by allowing them to share order-books with overseas affiliates, a major shift aimed at increasing liquidity and attracting global flows. 
The change signals the city’s ambition to become a leading fintech and digital-asset hub. Local banks are also ramping up tech investment, with annual digital spending projected to exceed HK$100 billion over the next three years. Critics note that enhanced liquidity may heighten risk in a volatile market segment and call for close monitoring.

Global equities surged after Nvidia beat earnings and projected robust Q4 revenue, easing investor worries about an AI valuation bubble.  
The rally extended across Asian and European markets, and risk assets rallied as Nvidia’s strong guidance reassured markets. However, some analysts caution that broader tech valuations remain stretched despite the temporary relief. The relief rally underscores how Nvidia remains a central bellwether for broader AI investing sentiment.

Rupee crashes past ₹89 per USD as outflows mount and trade deal ambiguity grows

Rupee crashes past ₹89 per USD as outflows mount and trade deal ambiguity grows
The Indian rupee plunged to a fresh low of **₹89.49 per US dollar**, the steepest single-day drop in months, as portfolio outflows surged and uncertainty over a US-India trade deal weighed. 
The slide came as the Reserve Bank of India appeared to allow the currency to breach previously defended levels, raising concerns over India’s external financing and trade-deficit outlook. Analysts warn that without a clear trade-deal breakthrough and intervention, the rupee may face ongoing pressure, impacting inflation and import costs.

India’s private-sector growth slows to six-month low in November
India’s flash composite PMI slipped to **59.9** in November, its weakest reading in six months, with the manufacturing index falling to 57.4 — a nine-month low.  
Export orders contracted and business sentiment hit its lowest since July 2022, as firms cited weak global demand and domestic headwinds. Although the services PMI remained at a healthy 59.5, the slowdown underscores pressure on India’s growth momentum and strengthens expectations for a monetary policy easing by the Reserve Bank of India soon.

ECB flags AI, stablecoins and cyber-risk in its annual supervisory review

ECB flags AI, stablecoins and cyber-risk in its annual supervisory review
The European Central Bank (ECB) has highlighted growing vulnerabilities tied to artificial intelligence, stablecoins and cybersecurity in its 2025 supervisory review (SREP). While major euro-area banks remain well capitalised (average of 16.1% vs minimum 11.2%), the regulator warned that elevated valuations in AI stocks and concentrated exposures to tech and cyber incidents could heighten risk. 
The ECB said it will conduct targeted risk tests in 2026 to assess how these non-traditional exposures may affect banking solvency and funding in stressed scenarios.

U.S. stocks reverse sharply after early gains on tech volatility
Major U.S. equity indices reversed a strong early rally and ended markedly lower as volatility surged. The S&P 500 dropped over 2%, the Nasdaq Composite declined around 2.2%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped about 0.8% after initial technology-led strength faded and concerns about valuations resurfaced. 
The downturn coincided with headlines over weaker risk appetite, tech earnings pullback and skittishness over central-bank policy. Traders note the index reversal underscores how sentiment can shift quickly in this environment.

AI-stock rally shows cracks as investor caution returns
The recent surge in AI-focused stocks is showing visible signs of strain as valuations appear to outpace earnings gains. According to Reuters coverage, pullbacks in key AI firms and rising questions about monetisation are fueling nervousness that the market may be retracing from a speculative high. Some strategists draw parallels with early dot-com excesses. 
The resulting volatility is rippling through tech indices and may reignite broader risk-off dynamics unless clearer earnings and growth signals emerge.
