SummaryCompaniesFCC approves Starlink Mobile Gen2 application for 15,000 satellitesLow-band airwaves improve range and indoor penetration through walls and tree coverT-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T shares each down nearly 7% after ​hoursOct 8 (Reuters) - SpaceX (SPCX.O), opens new tab struck a deal on ‌Thursday to acquire a nationwide low-band spectrum portfolio, positioning Elon Musk's satellite venture to mount a direct, orbital challenge to legacy wireless giants across the United States.

While Starlink Mobile's existing global 2 GHz mid-band ​spectrum will provide high-bandwidth capacity, the new spectrum will enable its signal to ​pass through obstacles. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Low-band frequencies ⁠are prized for their ability to travel longer distances and penetrate dense structures such as ​walls and tree cover, addressing a major technical hurdle previously faced by satellite-based mobile networks.

By ​pairing nationwide low-band airwaves with high-frequency space capacity, SpaceX is positioning Starlink Mobile to bypass conventional cell towers entirely and challenge the wireless oligopoly on both broad coverage and in-building reliability.

The deal also raises the ​stakes for legacy carriers, transforming satellite direct-to-device connectivity from a supplementary safety feature for remote ​dead zones into a full-scale commercial rival capable of unseating terrestrial cellular networks.

Shares of T-Mobile US (TMUS.O), opens new tab, Verizon (VZ.N), opens new tab ‌and ⁠AT&T (T.N), opens new tab fell nearly 7% in extended trading.

"The incumbent wireless carriers have been vocal in expressing skepticism that SpaceX's network will be able to match the quality of their networks," William Blair analysts said.

"We expect SpaceX to offer a very compelling Starlink broadband and Starlink Mobile bundle. ​The company may also ​include Grok in ⁠the package."

The transaction, which involves acquiring 100% of private-equity firm Grain Management's nationwide 800 MHz spectrum portfolio, remains subject to regulatory approval by ​the Federal Communications Commission. Grain had acquired the airwaves from T-Mobile ​earlier this ⁠year.

Crucially, most existing, unmodified mobile handsets already support the 800 MHz frequency band, eliminating the need for consumers to purchase proprietary satellite phones.

The Federal Communications Commission also approved Starlink Mobile's Gen2 constellation ⁠application ​this week, authorizing SpaceX to launch 15,000 satellites that ​are optimized for 2 GHz spectrum globally.

The new orbital fleet will operate in very low Earth orbit, delivering expanded ​bandwidth and low-latency connections to standard handsets.

Why Meta is winning the micro drama wars By and Lucia Moses You're currently following this author! Click to unsubscribe from email alerts.

Mark Zuckerberg's Meta has become a huge beneficiary of the micro drama boom by harvesting ad dollars and free content at the same time. Finn Gomez/Getty Images Micro dramas are booming outside the US. They're beginning to see traction stateside too, with lots of startups trying to convince American consumers to pay a few dollars to watch soapy stories on their phones.

But right now, there's one clear winner in the US micro drama industry: Mark Zuckerberg.

Zuckerberg's Meta is by far the most popular place for micro drama producers to market their stuff, industry players tell us. Some estimate that startups are directing up to 75% of their marketing budgets to Meta's various properties, in the hopes of getting Facebook or Reels users to come to their sites.

"What I hear consistently from apps is, Meta gets more than half of the customer acquisition spend by most micro drama apps," said Hernan Lopez, founder of research firm Owl & Co. He pegs micro drama ad spending at $1.5 billion globally — excluding China, where the genre started.

But Meta isn't just harvesting ad dollars from the micro drama business. It's also getting tons of free content: Micro dramas advertise themselves by showing users multiple episodes of their shows for free — and sometimes they'll show them many, many episodes. Some micro drama producers, including ReelShort, Flareflow, and ShortMax, have uploaded clips as long as 20 minutes to Meta's ad hub.

So Meta gets the best of both worlds: Micro drama producers give them money and they give Meta engaging videos that keep their audiences on Meta's properties.

Meta declined to comment.

GammaTime, a year-old micro drama company, spends some 55% of its marketing budget on Meta, said cofounder Slava Mudryk. Very long ads are part of the mix when GammaTime launches a series or has a series with a particularly strong story arc within the series, he said.

Mudrykh said these long ads give Meta an advantage over TikTok and YouTube, which don't offer them.

"We always use it with launches," he said. "What we see is that this long sequence just brings people in to watch. And when it's done, the desire to continue watching on the app is strong."

You'd expect that TikTok, which exists solely to show users short clips and whose Chinese roots have made it very familiar with micro dramas, would be a big player in micro drama ads. But people in the industry say Meta's ad infrastructure and targeting abilities make it easier to find viewers and convert them into paying customers.

It also helps that Facebook's aging user base is more likely able and willing to spend money on apps, says Ali Albazaz, whose Inkitt startup runs micro drama app Candy Jar.

"If the story is enticing enough, and grabs the user's attention, that person who comes to our app has a very high likelihood of converting to a paid user."

But that also seems like it will set up a long-term tension between Meta and its new breed of customers: If micro drama players are able to get real traction, that means they'll eventually be pulling eyeballs away from Meta. It's also not a new tension for Meta: A few years ago, when TikTok was entering the market, Meta made billions selling ads promoting the app to its users — and now TikTok is a giant competitor.

SummaryCompaniesOCC says lender failed to identify, evaluate and report roughly $13 billion in suspicious activityOCC cites insufficient resources, inexperienced staff, weak training ​and internal control gapsWASHINGTON, Oct 8 (Reuters) - American Express was fined $350 million by US bank regulators after they determined the lender's ​programs to identify potential money laundering were insufficient and ​the company potentially missed billions of dollars in suspicious activity.

The ⁠US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the ​Federal Reserve announced the enforcement action Thursday, saying the company, primarily ​via its national bank, failed to maintain a sufficient anti-money laundering compliance program, including inadequate resources, inexperienced staff, weak training, and internal control gaps.

Sign up here.

A spokesperson ​for American Express, which did not admit or deny the ​regulators' findings, did not respond immediately to a request for comment.

The OCC said "systemic ‌breakdowns" ⁠in its monitoring and reporting meant the lender failed to identify, evaluate and sufficiently report roughly $13 billion in suspicious activity over the past decade.

"The OCC expects banks of American Express’s size and ​complexity to devote ​sufficient resources ⁠to ensure compliance with laws and regulations designed to detect and prevent money laundering, which are ​critical to both economic and national security,” said Comptroller ​of ⁠the Currency Jonathan Gould in a statement.

Specifically, the OCC said American Express focused on risks in its relatively narrow deposit products, while ⁠not devoting ​sufficient attention to its much larger ​credit card business. The regulator also identified shortcomings in customer due diligence and identification ​programs.

Space Exploration Technologies Corp (NASDAQ:SPCX) announced a deal to acquire low-band spectrum from Grain Management Thursday. News of the deal has stocks of U.S. mobile carriers trading lower as SpaceX could become a major competitor moving forward.

• SpaceX stock is moving in positive territory. What’s pushing SPCX stock higher?

The Spectrum DealSpaceX is acquiring the nationwide 800 MHz spectrum portfolio from Grain Management for an undisclosed amount.

"We announced an agreement to acquire a nationwide low-band spectrum license portfolio that will pave the way for Starlink to become a major mobile carrier in the US. With this new spectrum and our Gen2 constellation, Starlink Mobile can ensure Americans have access to high-speed mobile broadband no matter where they are," SpaceX tweeted.

In a blog post, SpaceX said the acquisition addressed a key technical gap for Starlink Mobile to become a major U.S. mobile carrier.

SpaceX said when it receives final FCC approval, Starlink Mobile will deploy and connect devices everywhere.

The company highlighted that the new low-band spectrum will help Starlink Mobile signal penetrate walls and other obstacles.

"Starlink Mobile can now become the first network operator to deploy both satellite and terrestrial spectrum. One network that provides Americans with a reliable service indoors, outdoors, in cellular dead zones, and everywhere between."

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk shared the news on social media and said this is a "very big deal."

The $230 target implies roughly 16% upside as Palantir's revenue growth already approaches 100%. Summary

Goldman sees a wider market; Palantir must defend its premium.

Palantir Technologies PLTR, the data-platform and AI software provider, rose approximately 3.8% to $201.37 on Oct. 8 after Goldman Sachs upgraded the shares to Buy from Neutral, according to Barron's. Its $230 target implies another 14.2% upside. That gives buyers a fresh reason to chase the stock—but an analyst target still needs earnings to back it up.

The business has been delivering plenty of those. Palantir reported second-quarter revenue of $1.94 billion, up 93% year over year, while U.S. commercial sales surged 149% to $764 million. Its GAAP operating margin reached 47%. The punchline: rapid growth is translating into substantial operating profit, strengthening the case for AI software that customers put to work across their operations.

The valuation picture adds some friction: shares sit 8.97% above the $184.79 GF Value estimate, suggesting buyers are already paying a premium. Customized deployments and customers' demand for control over their data could expand Palantir's opportunity. The next test is turning early projects into larger, recurring commitments. Strong numbers support the rally; sustaining that pace will determine whether the premium holds.

Micron (MU -4.79%) stock tumbled in Thursday trading, closing the day down 4.8% -- but the news wasn't as bad as you might think.

Bond yields declined Thursday, suggesting the cost Micron customers bear when financing their purchases of memory chips won't climb forever. Furthermore, minutes released from the last meeting of the Federal Reserve Open Markets Committee indicate the Fed may not keep raising interest rates to combat inflation -- also good news for debtors.

Unfortunately for Micron investors, that wasn't all the news that came out Thursday. As CNBC reports, OpenAI just confirmed that its annual recurring revenue as of the end of September was only $50 billion -- not the $68 billion previously posited.

Image source: Micron.

What that means for Micron stockIf OpenAI's not making as much money as it thought it was, then Micron's customers might actually need to take on more loans to buy the company's memory chips. Because if they're anything like OpenAI, their revenues may not be generating enough cash to pay for those chips out of cash flow alone!

What's next for Micron stockSo is it time for Micron shareholders to panic? Not necessarily.

Although OpenAI fell short of the mark in September, the company still grew its revenue run rate 77% in the September quarter. And a new report out of Lynx Equity Strategies today confirms that the AI revolution is alive and well.

Tight supply of memory chips has driven up the prices Micron can charge for its wares, and according to Lynx analyst KC Rajkumar, memory supply in 2027 and 2028 will be "significantly tighter than in fiscal 2026."

Tight supply is just what Micron needs to keep its profits growing. Trading at 7x next year's earnings, Micron stock still looks like a buy to me.

The Standard Missile-3 Block IB is a ballistic missile-defence ​interceptor used by the U.S. Navy against short- and intermediate-range ballistic missile threats.

The agreements are part of the Trump administration's push to expand ​U.S. weapons production ​by encouraging ⁠contractors to increase manufacturing capacity. Industry executives, however, have warned that a ​lack of congressional funding could delay investment ​in ⁠facilities and supply chains.

Raytheon said it has invested in expanding production capacity for the Standard Missile ⁠family. Work ​under the contract will be ​performed primarily at its facilities in Tucson, Arizona, and Huntsville, ​Alabama.

Shares of Broadcom (AVGO -4.35%) turned lower on Thursday, falling as much as 5.1%. The stock was still down 4.4% by the time the market closed.

The catalyst that sent the semiconductor and networking specialist lower was news that OpenAI's revenue was substantially lower than had been previously reported.

Image source: The Motley Fool.

Accounting disclosureArtificial intelligence (AI) start-up OpenAI revealed that its annualized revenue was roughly $50 billion as of the end of September, significantly lower than the $68 billion that had been widely reported by the financial media late last month.

In an updated presentation shown to potential investors, OpenAI clarified the figure, noting that the $68 billion included gross revenue from the company's partners and was meant to provide an apples-to-apples comparison to its most direct competitor, start-up Anthropic.

So what does this have to do with Broadcom?Many AI stocks tend to move together, so the news alone may have been enough to send Broadcom lower. However, the company has a more direct connection to OpenAI. Reports emerged yesterday that Broadcom was working to line up roughly $50 billion in financing for OpenAI to fund the purchase of AI-centric chips.

Broadcom and OpenAI have been collaborating on a custom AI processor, dubbed "Jalapeno," which is expected to be deployed later this year. Given the close ties between the two, it makes sense that the company would help OpenAI arrange financing to buy Broadcom's custom chips.

Taking a step back, if OpenAI's revenue isn't all it was cracked up to be, it may have fewer resources and less need for Broadcom's chips. Add in fears about circular financing deals in the space, and it's easy to see why investors might be nervous, though this appears to be nothing more than an accounting disclosure.

At 31 times forward earnings and 18 times next year's expected earnings, Broadcom is attractively priced relative to the size of the opportunity. Moves like this provide astute investors with the opportunity to pick up shares at a discount.

WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clover Health Investments, Corp. (Nasdaq: CLOV) (“Clover,” “Clover Health” or the “Company”), today announced that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) has awarded its PPO Medicare Advantage (“MA”) plans a rating of 5 Stars and its HMO MA plan a rating of 4.5 Stars for 2027, which will affect payment year 2028. Through the first half of 2026, Clover Health grew Medicare Advantage membership ~48% year-over-year to more than 157,000 members, with ~98% enrolled in its wide-network PPO plans. At 5 Stars, Clover’s PPO plans will be able to enroll beneficiaries year round.

Each year, CMS assigns Star ratings to Medicare Advantage and Part D contracts on its healthcare quality and drug plan, and issues a Star rating on a scale of 1 to 5 Stars. These ratings affect payments to Medicare Advantage plans. For the 2027 Star Ratings, Clover’s overall Star rating was driven by improvements across Stars domains.

In light of the decision in Clover Insurance Company v. Department of Health & Human Services, Civ. A. No. 25-142 (S.D. Ga.) issued on May 27, 2026, which is on appeal, CMS calculated Clover’s rating for its PPO plans removing the 20 measures included in the court decision, awarding Clover’s PPO plans 5 Stars. With the 20 measures included, Clover’s PPO plans would have received 4.5 Stars.

Additionally, for the third year in a row, Clover has continued its market-leading performance on core Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (“HEDIS®”1) measures with a score of 4.82 out of 5 Stars2, again ranking #1 among non-SNP PPO plans with over 2,000 members. HEDIS is a set of performance measures used to assess aspects of care quality, including preventive screenings and management of health issues such as diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. Clover’s HEDIS score remains consistent at 4.82 out of 5 Stars regardless of the CMS methodology used for 2027, demonstrating the strength of a care model powered by Counterpart Assistant that surfaces relevant information for physicians to identify care needs and support better-informed clinical decisions.

“Success in the Star ratings system means an enhanced ability to support our members and to continue to provide them market leading plans. We also continue to support reforms to the Stars program that more closely align these ratings with meaningful improvements in members’ health and value for the Medicare program,” said Andrew Toy, CEO of Clover Health. “We are particularly proud of our core HEDIS measures performance, which assess important aspects of preventive care and chronic disease management. Our focus remains on giving physicians the tools to deliver proactive care across our wide PPO network, supported by our Counterpart Assistant platform.”

“Our teams have worked incredibly hard over the last several years, and we’re excited about what this year’s Star rating means for our ability to keep delivering the benefits, affordability, and wide choice of providers that our members count on and trust,” said Jamie Reynoso, CEO of Medicare Advantage, Clover Health. “With a higher Star rating, we are able to further reinvest in even more competitive benefits. This milestone allows us to scale our impact to more people on Medicare without compromising our financial strength or commitment to care quality.”

“We founded Clover with the conviction that improving healthcare requires both the ambition to reimagine it coupled with the willingness to solve hard problems, on a first principles basis,” added Vivek Garipalli, Founder and Executive Chairman of Clover Health. “I’m proud to work closely with our teams on critical aspects of these efforts, and I have a ton of fun doing so as well. This Star rating reflects many, many years of persistence and disciplined execution and provides a strong opportunity to build on that foundation moving forward as we continue to seek much-needed reforms.”

Southwest has not publicly named an aircraft for long-haul flying. In September, Chief Financial Officer ​Tom Doxey said long-haul international service was among a range of options under consideration but that no decision had been made.

One of the people ​said Southwest has contemplated a fleet of dozens of 787s.

Southwest has also examined how quickly it could obtain aircraft, ⁠including through lessors or the secondary market, according to two of the people. Reuters could not determine which 787 variant it is considering or whether any ​leasing arrangements have been made.

Southwest did not directly address questions about the 787, saying in a statement, "We do not have any news forthcoming related to our fleet ​plans." Boeing referred questions about the fleet plans to the carrier. Airbus (AIR.PA), opens new tab said it does not comment on discussions with airlines.

The deliberations would take Southwest's overhaul into a new phase. The airline has added assigned seating and extra-legroom seats and announced airport lounges and plans for a premium credit card as it seeks to attract higher-spending travelers.

A widebody fleet would ​take Southwest into long-haul international flying and more direct competition with larger US rivals. Southwest has publicly discussed long-haul expansion as part of a broader ​effort to give customers fewer reasons to book with competitors while strengthening its Rapid Rewards loyalty program and co-branded credit-card business.

CEO Bob Jordan has said Southwest does not need a ‌long-haul network ⁠comparable with those of Delta Air Lines (DAL.N), opens new tab, United Airlines (UAL.O), opens new tab or American Airlines (AAL.O), opens new tab. In May, he said 8 to 12 long-haul destinations could cover much of where Southwest customers want to travel.

BOEING VERSUS AIRBUSSouthwest currently operates an all-Boeing 737 fleet, but Airbus has been aggressively courting the airline as it evaluates future fleet needs, according to people familiar with the discussions. They said the A321XLR and A330neo could serve its long-haul needs, while the smaller A220 has been pitched for ​other parts of its network.

Choosing Airbus would ​require Southwest to diversify its fleet. ⁠Those people said the 787 has appeared to hold the stronger position in the discussions.

Southwest's pilot union has publicly indicated that more than one path is being examined. Jody Reven, president of the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association, said in ​a recent union podcast that the company had discussed both a "large aircraft" and a "narrow-body long-haul aircraft" as part of ​its future plans.

AVAILABILITY ⁠COULD SHAPE TIMINGThe long-haul plan has been discussed on a roughly three-year timetable, one of the people said. But aircraft availability could shape the timing.

Boeing has said the 787 is sold out through the end of the decade.

One of the people said Southwest has explored obtaining some Dreamliners through lessors, potentially allowing an earlier launch. Another ⁠said aircraft ​from the secondary market had been considered for the initial fleet.

Adding a 787 widebody would be ​a bigger undertaking than expanding Southwest's current 737 operation. Southwest has said adding a new aircraft type could require new maintenance and training programs, regulatory approvals and union negotiations over pay and ​work rules.

TL;DR: US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $484.9 million in net outflows on October 7, according to Farside Investors. BlackRock’s IBIT led the withdrawals with $207.7 million leaving the fund, while Fidelity and ARK also posted nine-figure outflows.

A day after Bitcoin ETF inflows appeared to recover, institutional money moved sharply in the other direction.

US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded $484.9 million in combined net outflows on October 7, according to updated data from Farside Investors.

The redemptions were broad rather than concentrated in one legacy product.

BlackRock‘s IBIT, normally the strongest source of positive flow in the group, lost $207.7 million.

Fidelity’s FBTC recorded another $105.1 million of net outflows, while ARK’s ARKB lost $101.7 million.

Bitwise’s BITB posted $27.6 million of outflows, Grayscale‘s GBTC lost $39.3 million and VanEck’s HODL shed $3.5 million.

The scale of the reversal stands out because the group had recorded $118.8 million of net inflows just one session earlier.

BlackRock itself had taken in $122 million on October 6 before becoming the biggest source of redemptions the following day.

That is a useful reminder of how quickly ETF flows can change.

Large creations and redemptions do not necessarily represent a permanent institutional view on Bitcoin. Funds are used for tactical trades, portfolio rebalancing, arbitrage and longer-term exposure, all of which can produce significant daily swings.

Still, nearly half a billion dollars leaving the products in one session is difficult to ignore.

The composition matters.

GBTC was once routinely responsible for most of the sector’s negative flow as investors exited the higher-fee legacy trust after its conversion to an ETF.

October 7 looked different.

The largest withdrawals came from products run by BlackRock, Fidelity and ARK, indicating that the selling pressure reached funds that have historically attracted substantial new capital.

Bitcoin was trading in a more difficult macro environment at the same time, with risk assets under pressure and investors watching interest rates, energy prices and geopolitical developments.

ETF flows cannot prove why a market moved, but they offer a direct view into how one of Bitcoin’s largest regulated investment channels is behaving.

That channel has become increasingly important since spot products opened the market to investors who do not want to hold BTC directly.

One bad session does not break that structural story.

But October 7 was not a marginal pullback either.

For the first time in several sessions, the strongest message from the ETF market was not accumulation.

It was risk coming off.

HYPE delivered one of the strongest rallies among large-cap crypto assets in September, climbing from roughly $50-$60 at the beginning of the month to a record $97.90 on Sept. 22. 

The token remained near $90-$93 in early October, even as Bitcoin and Ethereum traded further below their respective highs.

The rally has been closely linked to activity on Hyperliquid. Total open interest reached approximately $14.3 billion in early September, approaching levels seen shortly before the October 2025 market crash. 

HOT Stories

The protocol also directs close to 97% of fees generated by its core crypto perpetual markets toward HYPE buybacks. Since launch, those buybacks have reportedly reached roughly $1.3 billion worth of HYPE.

The token's role within the Hyperliquid ecosystem has also expanded. On Sept. 18, the protocol introduced manual borrowing, allowing users to use HYPE or BTC as collateral for stablecoin loans. The feature reportedly generated about $269 million in borrowing during its first day, alongside more than $400 million in supplied liquidity.

That development strengthens the case for HYPE as an asset increasingly connected to Hyperliquid's financial infrastructure rather than simply serving as a governance token.

The protocol's HIP-3 ecosystem has expanded as well, allowing third-party builders to create perpetual markets linked to stocks, commodities and other assets. 

By late September, HIP-3 had approximately $3.96 billion in open interest across 150 active markets, representing about 23% of Hyperliquid's total perpetual open interest. Activity remains concentrated, however, with one builder accounting for nearly 98% of HIP-3 open interest.

Institutional access has added another layer to the story. Three U.S. spot HYPE ETFs held approximately $502 million in assets as of Sept. 25, although inflows had slowed from their early-September peak. Binance also listed HYPE with a Seed Tag on Sept. 24, initially contributing to a roughly 4.5% decline as some large holders moved tokens to exchanges.

Hyperliquid price prediction: Can HYPE reclaim $98?The technical picture has weakened from the September peak. HYPE fell to around $86 after reaching nearly $98, breaking below the short-term moving average that had supported the rally through much of August and September.

The decline does not yet resemble a capitulation event. Trading volume has generally declined through September, while the latest sell-off occurred with moderate activity. That suggests the market may be experiencing profit-taking and consolidation rather than a full reversal.

HYPE remains above its medium- and long-term moving averages, preserving the broader bullish structure. The token previously recovered from the $77-$78 area, reclaimed $80 and then broke through the $87-$90 range before entering price discovery.

At the same time, the rally has pushed momentum indicators into overbought territory. RSI remained around 70-75 for extended periods before the latest decline, while the move from roughly $57 in early September to almost $100 left the token significantly extended from its longer-term trend.

The $98-$100 area is therefore the immediate technical hurdle. A sustained break above that zone could open the way toward the $110-$120 area based on technical extensions. Conversely, failure to reclaim $98 could leave HYPE consolidating between roughly $80 and $90, with $80-$85 emerging as the next important support zone.

Positioning data also suggests that the market is not uniformly bullish. Wallets with more than $1 million in profits, described as the "Money Printer" cohort, hold approximately $2.82 billion in longs against $2.88 billion in shorts, leaving the group with a net-short exposure of about $60 million.

Smaller profitable traders show a more bullish bias. The $100,000-$1 million cohort holds about $879.1 million in longs versus $419.1 million in shorts, while wallets with $10,000-$100,000 in profits hold approximately $526.9 million in longs against $188.7 million in shorts.

You Might Also Like

Another factor for traders is the scheduled October token unlock. Up to $856 million worth of HYPE was expected to be released on Oct. 6, making it the largest individual token unlock among assets scheduled for the month. Such an increase in potential supply could add pressure if recipients choose to sell.

Overall, HYPE's September rally remains supported by strong protocol activity, aggressive buybacks, expanding borrowing and perpetual markets, and growing institutional access. However, the move toward $100 has also produced increasingly stretched technical conditions.

The next phase is likely to depend on whether Hyperliquid can translate its growing protocol activity and revenue into sustained demand for HYPE. For now, $98-$100 remains the key resistance zone, while $80-$85 is the more important downside area to watch.

Shares of the semiconductor company Marvell Technology (MRVL -3.52%) jumped 24.8% in September, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence, as investors grew optimistic about the broader AI infrastructure industry.

Marvell stock has made huge strides over the past year, and comments made by CEO Matt Murphy during the month convinced investors that the good times aren't anywhere near over.

Image source: The Motley Fool.

The semiconductor industry continues risingMarvell stock jumped early in September on news that Nvidia was purchasing the open-source AI model development platform Hugging Face. Marvell didn't have anything to do with the deal specifically, but it is a partner with Nvidia, which took a $2 billion stake in Marvell back in March.

The semiconductor industry is highly intertwined, so major announcements about new deals, partnerships, or acquisitions can easily move other companies' share prices.

Marvell's shares continued their upward trajectory just a few days later after that announcement, when CEO Matt Murphy appeared on CNBC's Mad Money and said his company has earned a lot of trust from its customers.

Murphy said competition in the semiconductor industry was rising, but added that Marvell is the "Switzerland" of the semiconductor industry because it works with everybody.

And Marvell's stock got yet another boost toward the end of the month when the company said in a press release that it would demo an "industry-first 2mn" optical technology for AI data centers.

Management said in a statement that the new tech would "highlight how Marvell continually pushes the envelope of what is possible in optical technology" and achieve new levels of performance and efficiency. Investors latched onto that news and pushed the semiconductor stock higher.

Marvell stock marches higherMarvell stock is up about 4.5% in the first week of October, continuing its upward trajectory that has led to a 218% rise over the past 12 months.

Marvell continues to benefit from the rapid acceleration of AI infrastructure spending, which is estimated to exceed $1.3 trillion next year -- up from about $750 billion this year.

The boooming AI infrastructure market prompted the company's management to recently raise its fiscal 2031 revenue estimates to $80 billion and its non-GAAP earnings per share estimate to $30, both at the midpoint of guidance. That was especially notable because both estimates are about 50% higher than Wall Street's consensus estimates.

If the company continues on its current path, Marvell shareholders appear to have much more to look forward to.

FSK has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions. In addition, portions of our distributions may be funded indirectly through the waiver of certain investment advisory fees by our investment adviser. Any distributions funded through waivers of investment advisory fees will not be based on our investment performance and can only be sustained if we achieve positive investment performance in future periods and/or our investment adviser and its affiliates continue to make such reimbursements or waivers of such fees.

Mortgage lenders are rapidly embracing this modern scoring model and Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) governed alternative data not included in traditional credit reports to expand access to credit and drive housing affordability for millions of Americans.

"Our AI technology helps borrowers see their best loan options in minutes. With lenders now able to choose their credit score model, we added VantageScore 4.0 as one of the scoring models we use, giving us more flexibility in how we evaluate applicants, while keeping the experience quick and easy," said Magesh Sarma, Chief Operating Officer, AmeriSave Mortgage Corporation.

Equifax is maintaining $1 VantageScore 4.0 mortgage credit score pricing through the end of 2028 to expand adoption, reduce loan acquisition costs, and drive a potential $1 billion in cost savings for the industry and consumers from the cost difference among score providers.

"The landmark decision by FHFA Director William Pulte and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner to open VantageScore 4.0 for use across both conventional and FHA-insured loans has advanced homebuying into a new era of credit scoring competition that drives greater performance and cost savings for both lenders and consumers," said Mark W. Begor, CEO of Equifax. "We are seeing strong momentum across the mortgage sector as lenders rapidly adopt VantageScore 4.0 to drive better decisioning and expand access to credit."

More data drives better decisions
VantageScore 4.0 utilizes up to 24 months of trended data and incorporates alternative data, such as rental, utility, and telco payment histories, providing lenders with a more comprehensive view of borrower creditworthiness without adding additional risk. The model provides deeper financial insights that can deliver a 20% lift in originations and generate credit scores for consumers with thin credit files.

"The strong industry adoption has been driven by years of preparation by our teams to ensure that VantageScore 4.0 could be accessible to all lenders, allowing them to effectively test and evaluate the score through their processes," said Joel Rickman, General Manager and SVP of U.S. Mortgage and Verification Services at Equifax. "Equifax is deeply committed to supporting the mortgage industry and the consumers we serve, especially as we navigate the most difficult mortgage market in decades. We view our role in expanding homeownership as a vital responsibility while delivering significant savings to consumers and the mortgage industry."

Fulcrum Therapeutics is a "clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing small molecules to improve the lives of patients with rare hematological disorders[.]"

On June 1, 2026, after market close, Fulcrum Therapeutics announced in a press release "the discontinuation of its pociredir program for the treatment of SCD [(sickle cell disease).]" The Company stated that the "meeting minutes from recent end-of-phase interactions with the [U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA")]" "reflected heightened FDA concerns regarding pociredir's benefit-risk profile in SCD, stemming from an unexpectedly high rate of secondary hematologic malignancies observed with Tazverik® (tazemetostat), another PRC2 inhibitor, which was withdrawn from the global market in March 2026." After submitting further information, the FDA "concluded that any pharmacological intervention targeting the PRC2 complex carries equivalent malignancy risk regardless of the specific subunit engaged." As a result, the Company has "no viable regulatory path forward for further clinical development of pociredir."

Following this news, the price of Fulcrum Therapeutics stock declined from a closing price on June 1, 2026 of $6.42 per share to close at $3.14 per share on June 2, 2026, a decline of $3.28 per share, or by 51.09%.

Recent trading sessions continue to present a challenging environment for the euro in the short term. This can be seen in the performance of EUR/USD, which has declined by approximately 0.5%, reflecting another loss of ground for the European currency and highlighting the continued strength of the U.S. dollar.

For now, selling pressure remains supported by two key factors. On one side, the dollar continues to display resilience across recent trading sessions. On the other, growing concerns surrounding France's fiscal situation are beginning to attract more attention, creating a broader sense of caution across the eurozone. As long as these factors remain in place, selling pressure around EUR/USD could continue to play an important role in the sessions ahead.

Is a Debt Problem Emerging in France?
Over recent weeks, concerns surrounding France's fiscal position have become increasingly evident. The country's fiscal deficit currently stands near 5.4% of GDP, a level that reflects government spending continuing to outpace revenues and that remains well above the European Union's 3.0% fiscal deficit threshold.

At the same time, public debt has already surpassed €3.6 trillion, representing more than 100% of GDP and marking a significant increase compared with previous years. These figures have raised concerns because they point to a fiscal trajectory that is becoming increasingly challenging for one of the eurozone's largest economies.

This situation is also being reflected in the bond market. French government bonds have begun offering significantly higher yields relative to safer markets such as Germany. Currently, 10-year French government bonds yield around 4.8%, while equivalent German bonds remain near 3.4%.

The widening spread is particularly important because it shows that investors are demanding a growing risk premium to maintain exposure to French debt. In other words, markets are perceiving a higher level of risk than they did months ago and require greater compensation to justify holding French government bonds. Furthermore, this dynamic could become an additional challenge for public finances, as persistently higher borrowing costs increase debt-servicing expenses and make fiscal stabilization more difficult.

This situation extends beyond France itself. It is also beginning to create concerns about the broader financial stability of the eurozone by increasing fears of potential financial fragmentation within the bloc.

As a result, some investors may begin reducing exposure to euro-denominated assets due to a higher perception of risk surrounding one of the region's largest economies. This could encourage a shift toward markets viewed as more stable and limit the euro's ability to attract consistent demand. If concerns surrounding France's fiscal outlook continue to intensify, confidence in the common currency could deteriorate further and continue supporting downside pressure on EUR/USD.

Is the Dollar Still a Threat?
It is also important to monitor the dynamics surrounding the U.S. dollar. Following the release of the latest Federal Reserve minutes, markets continue to expect that another rate hike could take place before the end of 2026.

This outlook continues to support the relative attractiveness of dollar-denominated assets and helps explain the resilience that the U.S. currency has maintained in the short term. The situation can be observed through the DXY, the index that measures the dollar's performance against its major counterparts, which continues to trade around the 102-point area, highlighting that demand for the dollar remains relatively stable.

This dynamic remains important because it limits the euro's ability to recover. As long as the dollar continues benefiting from relatively supportive U.S. monetary policy expectations and maintains its current strength, EUR/USD may continue facing difficulties in regaining momentum during the coming sessions.

EUR/USD Technical Forecast

Source: StoneX, Tradingview

The major bearish trendline is regaining relevance: Since January 2026, a long-term bearish trendline has been developing on the EUR/USD daily chart. Although this technical structure lost some relevance during the more neutral market conditions seen in previous months, the recent weakness in the euro has begun to restore the importance of the bearish bias. As long as this dynamic remains in place, the downtrend could continue developing as the dominant technical structure in the weeks ahead.

 
MACD: The MACD histogram continues to trade below the 0 neutral line, a reading that suggests short-term moving-average momentum remains tilted to the downside. As long as this condition persists, selling pressure could continue dominating price action.

 
RSI: A similar picture can be observed in the RSI, which remains below the 50 neutral level, reinforcing the relevance of bearish momentum across the market. However, it is also important to note that the indicator is already trading below the 30 oversold threshold, a situation that could signal excessive selling pressure and create room for short-term corrective rebounds.

 
Key Levels:

1.13703 – Key Resistance: This level coincides with an important support zone that was broken in recent weeks and now acts as the most relevant upside barrier on the chart. Price action returning toward this area could begin to weaken the recent bearish momentum and support a more neutral trading environment.

 
1.12602 – Near-Term Barrier: A level that aligns with an important retracement zone observed over recent weeks and could become the primary reference to monitor in the event of short-term bullish corrections.

 
1.11275 – Major Support: A level not seen since May 2025 that remains the most important downside reference on the chart. Sustained moves toward this zone could reinforce the dominant bearish bias and open the door to a more aggressive extension of the current downtrend in the weeks ahead.

The filing reveals a sizable move into a tech giant. Summary

The disclosure shows a $5 million to $25 million Meta purchase.

President Donald Trump's latest financial disclosure shows a purchase of between $5 million and $25 million of Meta Platforms META stock in August, making it the largest disclosed buy for the month. The filing adds another high-profile investor name around Meta, although the White House says Trump's portfolio is independently managed by outside financial institutions rather than directed by the president himself.

The August disclosure included more than 500 securities transactions, according to reports. Trump also disclosed an investment of as much as $5 million in SpaceX debt, while total transactions during the period were valued between roughly $74 million and $273 million.

The Meta purchase was executed on August 21 and fell within the disclosure range of $5 million to $25 million. Other purchases valued between $1 million and $5 million included AT&T, ConocoPhillips, Netflix and Chevron.

Trump also reported sales in several companies, including between $1 million and $5 million each of AMD and Church & Dwight, alongside smaller sales of Boeing, Home Depot and Dell.

The disclosure is particularly notable because Meta remains heavily exposed to U.S. policy decisions around artificial intelligence, online safety, competition and technology regulation.

Still, the filing should not necessarily be interpreted as Trump personally making a bullish call on Meta. A White House spokesperson told Reuters that third-party financial institutions independently manage the president's portfolio and seek to replicate recognized indexes such as the Schwab 1000. The White House said investment decisions are made by independent managers.

Investor takeawayFor Meta investors, the transaction itself is more notable for its size and visibility than for its fundamental impact.

The company's investment case continues to depend primarily on advertising growth, engagement, AI monetization and returns on heavy infrastructure spending.

Investors should also distinguish between disclosed ownership activity and an intentional stock recommendation from Trump. Because the portfolio is independently managed, the Meta purchase does not necessarily indicate a personal investment thesis.

The more important catalysts remain Meta's earnings trajectory, AI capital expenditures and regulatory developments that could materially affect its platforms or advertising business.

Tesla must spend over $16.7 billion during 2026's second half to clear its disclosed capital target. Summary

A bigger AI checkbook raises the price of silence around Optimus milestones.

Tesla Inc. TSLA, the electric-vehicle and physical-AI developer, drew fresh scrutiny over Optimus's commercial progress, with shares down approximately 1.4% to $372.721 at 10.30 EST on Oct. 8. Barron's highlighted the limited operating evidence available as rival robotics programs advance. The valuation picture adds pressure: shares sit 11.14% above the $335.37 GF Value estimate, leaving a premium that future execution must justify.

The spending bill is already substantial. Tesla's SEC filing puts expected 2026 capital expenditures above $25 billion, spanning AI computing, data centers, manufacturing capacity and AI-enabled assets. With $8.28 billion spent in the first half, clearing that forecast requires more than $16.72 billion in the second half. That is over twice the first-half outlay. This is a company-wide investment push, not a disclosed Optimus-only budget.

For investors, the next useful robotics milestone needs numbers behind it. Repeatable factory work, measurable output and paying customers would make Optimus easier to assess as a business. Building capacity is one step; earning a return on it is another. Until Tesla supplies clearer commercial evidence, investors face a tough valuation question: how much should they pay today for robot profits that remain difficult to measure?
