Wall Street Expects 29.6% Q3 Earnings Growth: Can AI Stocks Deliver？

Wall Street expects S&P 500 earnings to grow 29.6% in the third quarter (Q3). An investment panel from CNBC says guidance from AI-linked tech giants, not that figure, may decide whether the rally holds.　　Q3 earnings face a high bar, as FactSet data show growth topping estimates in 37 of the past 40 quarters. An in-line report could therefore disappoint.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　Are Q3 Earnings Already Priced In？　　One panelist expects the numbers to land roughly as forecast. FactSet shows analysts raised Q3 estimates by 1.4% during the quarter. In contrast, estimates have typically fallen 2.5% during a quarter over the past decade.　　So far, 84% of the 19 S&P 500 companies that had reported by Oct. 9 beat estimates.　　However, the panelist said guidance is the real test. FactSet projects 15.8% earnings growth for 2027, down from 32.7% in 2026, according to its Earnings Insight report.　　Companies have already guided higher. A record 72 S&P 500 firms issued positive Q3 earnings guidance, and 44 of them are technology companies.　　One panelist said market reaction may outweigh the data, pointing to Nvidia, whose shares have at times lagged strong results.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　Meanwhile, another panelist said over half of S&P 500 stocks sit below their 200-day averages.　　Will AI Spending Keep Holding Up

Record Stocks and 24-Year Yield Highs Push Money Into Bonds, Rewriting 60/40 Portfolio

Bond ETFs have drawn a record $525 billion this year, according to NovaDius Wealth Management president Nate Geraci. Yet many bond categories are posting losses, which strains the 40% bond slice of the 60/40 portfolio.　　The 60/40 portfolio holds 60% stocks and 40% bonds. Geraci says record stock prices helped the stock side, but rates at multi-decade highs weighed on the bond side.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　Why Are Investors Buying Bonds That Are Losing Money？　　NovaDius is a registered investment advisor. Geraci told CNBCs ETF Edge program that more than $75 billion entered fixed income ETFs over the past month.　　Geraci said money moved across the yield curve, which plots yields by maturity. Some investors parked cash in short maturities for yields above 4%, while others reached for higher payouts in longer bonds.　　However, many bond ETFs remain in the red this year, Geraci said, particularly those with long duration. Duration measures how sharply a bonds price reacts to rate changes.　　Meanwhile, State Street Investment Management counted $469 billion of US-listed bond ETF inflows through September, also a record. Geraci did not say which tracker or cutoff date he used.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　The S&P 500 set an all-time high on October 6. In the same week, the 10-year Treasury yield touched its

Citi Says S&P 500 Needs AI and Non-AI Stocks to Reach 8,100

Citis Scott Chronert says the S&P 500 needs both AI stocks and rate-sensitive sectors to rally to reach 8,100. Only one of those groups is in good standing, by his account.　　Chronert, Citi Researchs head of U.S. equity strategy, says AI-linked companies make up just over half of the index. Third-quarter earnings season is getting underway.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　Can Rate-Sensitive Stocks Close the Gap？　　Citi raised its year-end target to 8,100 from 7,700 in June, citing AI-driven earnings strength. On the AI side, Chronert expects earnings tailwinds to continue through third-quarter reports.　　In contrast, Chronert said rate-sensitive sectors have dropped about 10% since the Federal Reserves Jackson Hole symposium in late August.　　Those include utilities, real estate, consumer discretionary stocks, and, to a degree, banks.　　A rebound hinges on markets pricing out some expected Fed rate hikes, he said. The Fed raised rates by a quarter point on September 16. However, it could raise them again at the October 28 meeting.　　Chronert also named the midterm elections as a hurdle the index must clear before year-end.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　Meanwhile, Matt Stucky, senior portfolio manager at Northwestern Mutual, expects a positive season. He said consensus points to upper-20s year-over-year earnings growth, versus low 30s in the second quarter.　　He said valuation multiples, the price

South Korea moves to block 27 crypto websites, including KuCoin, MEXC

South Korean authorities have approved measures to block domestic access to 27 websites operated by unregistered crypto exchanges and other virtual asset service providers, including KuCoin, MEXC, Phemex and Bitrue.　　In an announcement on Tuesday, South Koreas Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) said the decision followed reviews by the Korea Media and Communications Standards Commission on Oct. 6 and 7.　　The list also includes CoinW, BTCC, BitMart, BingX, DigiFinex and others. The block applies to crypto platforms that have not registered under the Act on Reporting and Using Specified Financial Transaction Information, the countrys anti-money laundering legislation.　　“With this decision, blocking measures against illegal virtual asset operators will also apply to internet websites, following apps such as those on Apple and Google,” the FIU said, according to a translation.　　The measures involve terminating services hosted domestically or blocking access to websites operated overseas.　　The move follows earlier restrictions on mobile apps. Cointelegraph reported in April 2025 that South Korea had blocked downloads and updates for 14 unregistered crypto exchange apps on Apples App Store, following restrictions on 17 apps through Google Play.　　The FIU said authorities assess whether overseas operators target Korean customers by looking at whether platforms offer Korean-language services, market to South Korean users or

Meta claims new Muse Wonder AI models rival OpenAI, Anthropic

Meta has unveiled two new artificial intelligence models, Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, which it called its most capable models to date and a step toward “personal superintelligence.”　　Meta on Monday said the models introduce two capabilities Meta calls Active Memory and Active Focus. The first carries relevant information across conversations, and the second helps the agent sustain work on difficult tasks.　　Independent evaluation platform Artificial Analysis scored Wonder Full at 56 on its Intelligence Index and the standard Wonder at 52, both at maximum reasoning effort.　　That puts Full above Claude Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra, which each scored 53, but below Claude Opus 5.5s 58.　　Bindu Reddy, CEO of Abacus.AI, which conducts its own model evaluations, challenged the performance claims, writing on X that Muse Wonder was “nowhere near Fable or Astra level” and said detailed benchmark results would follow.　　Metas new models are its most expensive to date, with the standard Wonder model charging $4 per million input tokens, matching Claude Opus 5.5 but undercutting GPT-6 Astra and Claude Fable 5.1, which charge $10 and $50 respectively.　　Wonder Full is available only to people who subscribe to Muse Codes $50 a month “power usage” or $200 a month “maximum usage” tiers.　　Related: Global

Token2049 Was Huge, But What Really Matters for the Q4 Crypto Market? Four Wealth Opportunities Have Emerged!

This is a highlight summary of the Weekly Beat X Space AMA organized by WikiBit.　　On October 9, the Weekly Beat X Space focused on several major topics: Q4 market outlook, AI and crypto, stablecoin adoption, regulation, and leverage trading. The guests included Cube CEO Madison, Core Chain founder Liviu, Orion Finance community manager, Elytron Chains Desky, and other industry builders.　　If there is one sentence to summarize this AMA:　　The excitement around Token2049 does not equal a bull market. The real Q4 market depends on three things: whether liquidity is expanding, whether people are actually using crypto, and whether regulations can make institutional capital comfortable entering the market.1. Q4 Market Outlook: Watch the Tide Before the Waves　　The first question from the host was:　　After Token2049, market sentiment seems to have improved, but macro pressure has not disappeared. Bond yields are rising, rate hike concerns are returning — which indicators matter most now？　　The guests reached almost the same conclusion:　　Macro liquidity matters the most.　　Core Chains Liviu gave a very vivid analogy:Macro liquidity = the tideETF inflows = the wavesOn-chain activity = how many people are actually in the water　　The current challenge is that:　　The tide is moving out.　　The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield once moved above 5%.

Aptos rolls out Encrypted Mempool to curb frontrunning, sandwich attacks

Layer-1 blockchain Aptos has launched an optional new feature that could help shield traders from attacks involving maximal extractable value (MEV), including frontrunning and sandwich attacks.　　On Monday, Aptos said its Encrypted Mempool feature is now live on its mainnet, allowing users to opt in to keep pending transactions encrypted until their block ordering is finalized. Aptos said the feature was built for institutions submitting large transactions to the chain, traders wanting to avoid MEV risk, AI agents and builders.　　“When you send a transaction on any major chain today, anyone watching the network can see the details before it executes, the function you‘re calling, the assets and amounts involved, and the contracts you’re interacting with,” Aptos said. “Bots use that visibility to trade against you or copy your strategy.”　　Sandwich attacks, one form of MEV attack, cost Ethereum traders about $60 million over the 12 months through October 2025, according to Cointelegraphs analysis of EigenPhi data. On Solana, sandwich attacks generated $29.7 million for bots over an 11-month period examined by Bitquery, which identified nearly 6.9 million attacks affecting about 2.2 million wallets.　　How Encrypted Mempool works　　When a user opts in, a compatible wallet or app encrypts the transaction‘s contents on their device
