Newsquawk Daily Asia-Pac Opening News - 22nd October 2026
Newsquawk ·
US equities advanced with strong outperformance from the Nasdaq, supported by NVIDIA unveiling multiple AI partnerships at its GTC keynote and reports that Russia accepted a US proposal for trilateral talks with Ukraine. Market sentiment turned cautious late in the session following a State Department announcement regarding ordered departures of select personnel at US embassies across the Gulf, which lifted Brent crude while pressuring T-notes and ES futures. Brent strengthened amid Middle East geopolitical tensions, including drone strikes on Saudi Aramco's Shaybah oilfield, alongside an EIA report showing a larger-than-expected crude inventory drawdown. The British pound firmed following stronger-than-expected UK consumer price inflation, while the Australian dollar outperformed after Goldman Sachs updated its outlook to project a Reserve Bank of Australia rate hike in November. In after-hours trading, Meta topped revenue expectations despite an EPS hit from a USD 9.89bln litigation charge, rising 3.5%, Tesla beat EPS forecasts by 2.0%, and Texas Instruments, IBM, and Lam Research posted positive earnings beats, while SAP issued full-year adjusted operating profit guidance above consensus estimates.
AI 시장 분석
The U.S. stock market closed higher, led by the Nasdaq, driven by NVDA's AI partnership announcement and expectations of easing geopolitical tensions. However, toward the end of the session, geopolitical risks emerged following the order to evacuate U.S. embassy personnel in the Gulf region and a drone attack on a Saudi Aramco oil field, causing Brent crude to rise. Investors should prepare for volatility by focusing on individual catalysts such as corporate earnings releases and declining crude oil inventories.
상승 영향
- AI — NVDA's large-scale AI partnership announcement and strong earnings from tech companies will drive the growth of the related ecosystem.
- Energy — Concerns over supply disruptions are growing due to the drone attack on the Saudi Aramco oil field and heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, putting upward pressure on prices.
하락 영향
- Airlines — Fuel cost burdens are increasing due to heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and rising oil prices, expected to deteriorate profitability.
- Shipping — Security instability in the Middle East and rising oil prices negatively impact the sector by increasing transportation costs and supply chain disruption risks.
DYAX 전담 분석
NVDA's AI cooperation announcement and strong earnings from major tech stocks like Meta and Tesla stimulated tech-focused sentiment, driving stock gains. In particular, concerns over oil supply disruptions are growing due to the attack on the Saudi Shaybah oil field and heightened tensions in the Middle East, maintaining upward pressure on energy prices.
If geopolitical conflicts escalate further, airlines and shipping stocks could weaken due to increased costs, while energy stocks are expected to remain strong. Therefore, military movements in the Middle East, additional U.S. embassy measures, and key crude oil inventory indicators must be closely monitored.
