☕️ GM! Here are the most important market events over the last 24 hours: 🌍Market Overview: 🔸 US wholesale prices jumped 1.3% in September and 6.3% from a year earlier, the biggest annual gain since late 2022, against 0.6% and 5.5% expected. That keeps another Fed hike in play. 🔸 Anthropic told investors Q3 revenue hit $16.8B, up from $11.6B in Q2, and it was profitable on an adjusted basis ahead of a November IPO. Growth still slowed and missed some expectations, a weight on AI stocks. 🔸 Ukraine will resume strikes on Russian energy targets, Zelenskyy said, ending a three-day pause Washington asked for. That puts refinery risk back into the oil and diesel prices the pause was meant to lower. 🔸 Grok maker SpaceXAI launched Grok Voice 3.0, #1 on the Speech-to-Speech Index at 86.9, at its predecessor's price. Starlink uses it for 20,000 calls a day, about 70% with no human, so call-center jobs are next. 🔸 TSMC posted a sixth straight record quarterly profit, up 68.7% to NT$763.1B. AI chip demand keeps setting records. 🔸 Apple closed above a $5T market value for the first time, only the second company after Nvidia, even as the Nasdaq fell nearly 1.9%. Investors are hiding in cash-rich megacaps. 🪙Crypto Updates: 🔸 Patrick Witt left the White House Crypto Council as his temporary assignment expired Oct. 14, with no successor named, while the CLARITY Act sits stalled after a 49-50 Senate vote. 🔸 Circle's $USDC became the first of 45 notified e-money tokens to be named significant under MiCA, putting it under direct EU banking supervision from Nov. 12. 🔸 Hyperliquid's tech will power US derivatives from Kraken parent Payward through a regulated exchange, and founder Jeff Yan said regulators should oversee the firms running markets on it, not the chain. 🔸 Crypto hacks hit $1.18B across 107 incidents in Q3, per Hacken, the worst quarter since Q1 2025, led by the $387M Bitget hack. 🔸 Stellar now has a native price oracle: Chainlink's Data Feeds and Data Streams went live on mainnet for DeFi apps. 🔸 Ripple's $RLUSD on the XRP Ledger will settle trades for DriveWealth, a brokerage network serving 100+ global partners, starting in Europe with a US rollout planned.
