Global events/updates

  • Hargreaves Lansdown, the U.K.’s largest investment platform, cautioned investors against viewing Bitcoin as an asset class. The firm believes cryptocurrencies lack the fundamentals needed for portfolio growth or income. This warning comes just after the U.K. lifted its ban on retail investors accessing crypto exchange-traded notes (ETNs) on October 8.
  • The collapse of U.S. car parts maker First Brands has shaken Europe’s private credit market, with major lenders like Jefferies and UBS O’Connor facing exposure. The bankruptcy has sparked concerns about risky lending practices and potential contagion, drawing parallels to past financial crises such as the subprime mortgage meltdown and Greensill Capital’s downfall.
  • Japan’s political landscape faces turbulence as Komeito quits its long-standing coalition with the ruling LDP, citing unresolved political funding issues. The split weakens Prime Minister hopeful Sanae Takaichi’s position, ending a partnership dating back to 1999. Despite losing Komeito’s support, the LDP remains the largest party in the Lower House with 191 seats.
  • European markets opened mixed on Friday as investors assessed early signs of a U.S.-brokered Middle East peace deal and China’s new export controls on rare earths. Defense and mining stocks fell, while Jyske Bank surged after raising profit guidance. Meanwhile, EU tensions rose as Brussels prepared action against Italy’s “golden power rule” limiting bank mergers.
  • China’s property downturn is deepening faster than expected, with S&P forecasting an 8% drop in new home sales this year to around 8.8–9 trillion yuan. This is far worse than May’s 3% projection. Analysts warn that stronger government support is crucial to stabilize the sector and rebuild homebuyer confidence.
