What changed since the last run

Quiet weekend: no company news for any holding; all takes unchanged.
Iran's Guards say two tankers hit Hormuz mines; still unconfirmed by the US, UKMTO or owners.
JPMorgan: big cloud firms now spend about 93% of operating cash flow on AI, up from 33% in 2023.
Next: China Q3 GDP 13:00 AEDT today (4.4% poll); Netflix Wed 07:00; Meta and Tesla Thu morning AEDT.

Monday opens with no material weekend company news for the holdings; the backdrop is unchanged from Friday's risk-off close. The 10-year sits near 5.09-5.10%, markets price about 85% for an Oct 28 hold and about 89% for a Dec hike, and AI-credit worries persist as hyperscalers spend about 93% of operating cash flow on AI. Semis carry an 8-day SOX losing streak after a 4.5% Nasdaq weekly drop. Iran's Guards claimed Saturday that two tankers hit mines in Hormuz, unconfirmed by Sunday, keeping oil near Friday's $110 Brent risk alive. Next (AEDT): China Q3 GDP Mon 13:00 (poll 4.4%); Netflix Wed 07:00; Meta, Tesla, Lam, IBM Thu 07:30-08:30; SK hynix Wed Oct 28 11:00; FOMC Thu Oct 29 05:00; Alphabet/Microsoft Thu Oct 29; Amazon Fri Oct 30.
