Markets: Global stocks and the dollar rebounded after an initial selloff as Democrats’ US election gains raised concerns about tighter scrutiny of AI and data-centre investment. Asian tech shares fell sharply; gold and Treasury bonds rallied, while European bank and clean-energy stocks advanced. Economic Outlook: Eurozone business activity slowed to a four-month low in October, with demand near stagnation, employment edging down and input-cost inflation rising. German skilled businesses also warned that energy, materials and labour costs are pushing up prices. AI and Infrastructure: Malaysia launched an AWS programme to build AI skills among public servants, businesses and students, as officials stressed that data-centre growth must not squeeze power supplies for existing industries. Utility TNB says grid investment is crucial to meet rising demand and integrate renewables. Trade: Turkish defence manufacturer ASELSAN signed a $1.1 billion air-defence export contract, though the buyer and delivery details were not disclosed.
