What are today's top business/market headlines?
Here’s a quick snapshot as of Monday, October 19, 2026:
•U.S. stock futures ticked higher while oil edged lower, with traders bracing for a packed week of corporate earnings and key China data.[1]
•Asian equities slipped overnight on worries about the heavy financing needs behind the AI buildout; a pullback in oil prices offered some support to bonds and U.S. futures. Brent hovered near $108 and WTI around $101 during Asia hours.[2]
•Government bonds steady after last week’s rally: 10‑year U.S. Treasury yields were around 5.06% in Asia trade after logging their biggest weekly drop in months.[2]
•Evercore announced a leadership shake‑up, naming Nigel Dawn and Naveen Nataraj as co‑presidents effective January 1, 2027.[3]
•After last week’s tech-led slide, investors are shifting focus to earnings to gauge whether the AI trade can regain momentum.[4]
