  • Morgan Stanley Warns S&P 500 May Drop Another 8%

    On October 28, Mike Wilson, Chief U.S. Equity Strategist at Morgan Stanley, stated in a client report that a combination of AI financing pressures, the U.S. midterm elections on November 3, and tightening financial conditions could push the S&P 500 index down to around 7100 points in the coming weeks, representing a decline of about 8% from recent levels. This would mark the largest adjustment since the market turmoil triggered by the Iran war earlier this year. The firm noted that approximately 60% of the Russell 3000 index components have fallen over 20% from their peaks since early June, and about 96% of semiconductor stocks have also declined by more than 20%. They anticipate that the semiconductor sector may drop an additional 10% to 15% before mid-November. Credit spreads on bonds related to data centers have widened, with CoreWeave's debt entering distressed territory this month. The Federal Reserve raised interest rates to 3.75% to 4.00% in September, leading to rising bond yields. The firm maintains a year-end target of 8000 points for the S&P 500 and a fundamental target of 8300 points over the next 12 months, noting that markets typically perform better after midterm elections, with data from 1950 to 2022 showing an average increase of about 8% in the three months following elections.

  • Israeli Parliamentary Election Vote Counting Completed, Netanyahu's Camp Currently Leads

    On the 28th local time, according to Israeli sources, the vote counting for this round of Israeli parliamentary elections has been completed. The Likud party, led by current Prime Minister Netanyahu, remains in the lead with the highest percentage of valid votes counted so far.

  • Anthropic IPO Filing Warns of Risks from Trump Administration Retaliation

    On October 28, Bloomberg reported that in its IPO filing, Anthropic warned that its public advocacy for AI safety regulation and statements from executives could expose the company to risks such as government pressure and selective scrutiny. The document stated that even if other similarly situated companies are not treated equally, Anthropic could still become a target for specific government agencies, a risk associated with the company's multiple conflicts with the Trump administration: one stemming from disputes over the requirement for the U.S. Department of Defense to set safety limits when using its AI technology, and another related to disagreements over the safety and export controls of the Mythos model. The filing also indicated that future government interventions, export restrictions, and cybersecurity or biosafety incidents triggered by AI models could affect its product deployment, international expansion, and business growth. Furthermore, if the regulatory measures advocated by the company are implemented, compliance costs would rise, product development and release would be restricted, and its growth could slow down. Anthropic publicly submitted its S-1 filing on October 26, intending to list on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT.

  • AI Simulation System Sim Fed Previews October Rate Meeting: Seven Votes, Five for Pause

    On October 28, ahead of the Federal Reserve's upcoming interest rate decision, an AI simulation decision-making system called Sim Fed completed seven simulated votes: five opted to maintain the current interest rate, while two supported a rate hike, aligning closely with the market's mainstream expectation of a pause this week. The system was developed by Tara Sinclair, chair of the economics department at George Washington University, and Sophia Kazinnik, a research scientist at Stanford University's Digital Economy Lab. The two invested approximately a year and a half into the project, with a preliminary research paper set to be published by the end of 2025. Researchers clarified that the aforementioned votes are results of a simulation experiment and do not reflect the Federal Reserve's actual decisions; the real monetary policy decision is expected to be announced at 2 AM Beijing time on October 29.

  • Kalshi Plans to Tighten Deposit Restrictions for Users Under 21

    On October 28, Bloomberg reported that Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour stated that the prediction market platform is discussing increased user protection measures with U.S. regulators due to research showing that most users are in a losing position. Kalshi is willing to accept raising the participation age threshold to 21 years. The specific measures include a monthly deposit limit of $2,500 for users under 21 and the establishment of special accounts to curb high-risk trading. Mansour noted that Kalshi is an exchange regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and does not directly act as a counterparty for user trades, with users' lost funds flowing to other traders. However, he also acknowledged the need for the platform to work with regulators to establish protective rules to address existing regulatory gaps.

  • Thailand's Supreme Court Rules Bitcoin as 'Property' under Criminal Law

    On October 28, Thailand's Supreme Court ruled in case No. 4929/2569 that Bitcoin constitutes 'property' in criminal cases. The case was brought by the Koh Samui Public Prosecutor against a defendant whose victim exchanged $50,000 (approximately 1.878 million Thai Baht) for Bitcoin and transferred it to a criminal gang. The court determined that the elements of property crime were established. The ruling stated that Bitcoin has value according to market conditions, can be exchanged for cash when there are buyers, and can be held by ordinary people, thus it is not an object of no value or intangible. Its value does not disappear simply because it is exchanged for Bitcoin instead of cash. The ruling also pointed out that the Bank of Thailand's position on cryptocurrencies not being legal tender is a separate issue from whether they constitute 'property'. The judgment referenced Article 137 of the Civil and Commercial Code and Sections 309(2), 340(1), and 340(3) of the Criminal Code.
