Newsquawk Daily Asia-Pac Opening News - 23rd October 2026

Newsquawk · 2026-10-22

US equities faced downward pressure dragged down by weakness in artificial intelligence sector shares, even though the equal-weight gauge rose 0.7 percent. Positive earnings reports from Lam Research and Meta failed to impress investors, with Meta tumbling 7.0 percent as its restrained fiscal year 2027 guidance raised anxieties regarding expenditure, profitability, and financing, sending its 5-year CDS to an all-time peak. Lam Research dropped 11.8 percent, while SpaceX and Tesla retreated 9.1 percent and 3.0 percent respectively. Consequently, a strong flight-to-quality dynamic boosted Treasuries, driving 7-year and 10-year yields sharply down below 5.0 percent amid intense safe-haven demand. The US dollar softened on Thursday with defensive currencies like the Japanese yen and Swiss franc outperforming amid the prevailing risk-off sentiment, while geopolitical tensions involving Houthi attacks remained a persistent market focus.

According to the Asia-Pacific opening news on October 23, 2026, U.S. stock markets faced downward pressure due to the weakness of AI-related stocks and mega-cap tech stocks. Lam Research (LRCX -11.8%) and Meta (META -7.0%) plummeted despite strong earnings due to concerns over future guidance and spending, while Tesla (-3.0%) and SpaceX (-9.1%) also showed concurrent weakness. On the other hand, as safe-haven sentiment spread, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield plunged below 5.0%, and the Japanese yen and Swiss franc strengthened.

DYAX 전담 분석

Concerns over the peak-out of tech-centered earnings and Meta's excessive capital expenditures (CAPEX) were highlighted simultaneously, leading to profit-taking across large-cap growth stocks. In particular, financial health concerns cooled investor sentiment, as Meta's 5-year CDS hit an all-time high.

Future stock prices will be determined by whether AI investment efficiency is proven and the spread of geopolitical risks, and indicators of falling Treasury yields and safe-haven preferences must be closely monitored.
