    4 major companies have now announced about 10,500 job cuts in just 10 days

    $American Express(AXP.US) is cutting 5% of its global workforce, about 3,500 jobs, and took a $336M restructuring charge, CEO Stephen Squeri said Friday

    $Barclays(BCS.US) Barclays is cutting about 5,000 jobs, or 5% of staff, with 60% in support functions including fewer developers as AI makes staff more productive

    $eBay(EBAY.US) confirmed it is cutting about 9% of its workforce, roughly 1,000 jobs, its second round of layoffs this year

    $Netflix(NFLX.US) is laying off about 6% of staff, roughly 1,000 jobs, its biggest cuts since 2022

    What stands out is that none of these companies are in trouble. $American Express(AXP.US) just raised its 2026 profit guide, Barclays grew pretax profit 12% and $eBay(EBAY.US) says Q3 will beat its own forecast. This is cost cutting from a position of strength, and AI is increasingly the reason given. That's a very different signal than the layoffs of a typical slowdown

    A $3.5 trillion Musk mega-merger is now officially on the table

    Elon Musk just said $SpaceX(SPCX.US) and $Tesla(TSLA.US) have formed special committees of independent directors to discuss combining the two companies, set up "at the request of shareholders"

    He revealed it on the SpaceX Q3 earnings call, saying that because he's a "conflicted party" he can't take part in the talks himself

    But he made his view clear

    "Do I think it would be a good idea? Yes. But at the end of the day, the shareholders have to be supportive of this"

    No terms have been agreed and Musk said a deal isn't guaranteed, noting 50% of $Tesla(TSLA.US) shareholders would have to approve it

    The scale is hard to overstate. SpaceX is worth more than $2 trillion and Tesla about $1.48 trillion, per Axios and CNBC, which would put a combined company north of $3.5 trillion

    $Tesla(TSLA.US) was up about 1% after hours at $377.50, one day before its own Q3 report

    This has been the market's favorite Musk rumor for months, and Barclays already flagged a possible announcement before Tesla's Dec 3 annual meeting. Now it's real, and the fight that matters is the exchange ratio, since Musk controls a far bigger voting stake in SpaceX than in Tesla

    Bank stocks continue the rally without any signs of stopping. Even when market opened lower yesterday, our 3 local banks managed to turn the tide and lead the reversal to eventually close higher for the day. I believe this is great for long term investors, but at the same time also expect the prices to drop back down in October when the trading board size decreases to increase trading volume.

    The market-boosting effect of CPI is somewhat insignificant. The market is currently in a state of intense tug-of-war between bulls and bears. The anticipated quarterly earnings season has been suppressed all along. Will it simply fizzle out or wait for an outburst after the suppression? Let's wait and see.

    June CPI came in lower than expected and the markets cheered slightly. Software stocks turned positive by closing while massive capital was flowing back into chips and memory stocks. However, I still hold a neutral stance as the macro risk is still very real. With companies starting to report earnings from the end of the month, I will be paying close attention to what they have to say.

    I’m really pleased to see STI breaking new record. A large part of that has to do with the 3 big banks which are on fire. I’m not so sure if this has to do with the AI manufacturing story. The AI manufacturing related stocks (component suppliers) I hold are up one day and down the next.

    Its good that inflation came down. Hopefully the data keeps trending in a good way and helps keep the prices of things, especially essential ones, manageable.

    Gold surged 700 pips right after yesterday’s CPI release only to fall back again quickly. What a classic bull trap 🥲.

    Frankly speaking, I don’t buy these CPI numbers at all. With the Strait of Hormuz still shut, there is no way oil prices can drop back to pre-conflict levels ☺️.

    Go ask around your friends and colleagues – does anyone actually feel like inflation is slowing down? 🤣
