🇺🇸 Kimberly Guilfoyle au cœur d’une nouvelle controverse

L’ambassadrice des États-Unis en Grèce, Kimberly Guilfoyle, aurait demandé à un donateur de Donald Trump de lui verser 100 000 dollars afin de régler une dette envers American Express, quelques jours avant son audition de confirmation au Sénat en juillet 2025.

Selon des messages examinés par le Wall Street Journal, Guilfoyle aurait demandé à Eric Deters d’effectuer le virement directement à American Express, en précisant que l’opération ne laisserait pas de trace apparente. Le donateur affirme également qu’elle lui aurait proposé son aide pour accéder à des responsables de l’administration Trump.

Deters, qui affirme avoir déjà versé des centaines de milliers de dollars liés à des événements politiques, a finalement refusé de payer les 100 000 dollars. L’avocat de Guilfoyle conteste l’authenticité des messages présentés par le WSJ.

L’affaire soulève de nouvelles questions éthiques et politiques autour de l’ambassadrice, alors que plusieurs élus américains demandent déjà un examen de ses activités. Le secrétaire d’État Marco Rubio, interrogé à Athènes, a refusé de commenter les nouvelles accusations.

💬 Une affaire qui risque d’alimenter le débat à Washington sur les frontières entre influence politique, dons privés et intérêts personnels.

🚨 AI Could Break Blockchain Encryption in Months, Ethereum Researcher Warns

Justin Drake, an Ethereum researcher, has urged the crypto industry to prepare for “bunker mode,” warning that advances in artificial intelligence could potentially break ECDSA, the digital signature algorithm protecting Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies, in a matter of months rather than years.

Drake recommends a controlled migration toward fresh wallet addresses that keep public keys hidden until they are used. However, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin cautions against rushing to move funds, emphasizing the need to take emerging cryptographic risks seriously without triggering unnecessary panic.

⚠️ Important distinction: No practical AI-powered attack capable of breaking ECDSA has been demonstrated. The timeline remains a worst-case scenario, not an established prediction.

🔐 The big question: Can the crypto industry upgrade its security fast enough to stay ahead of increasingly powerful AI systems?

The future of blockchain security may depend on how quickly developers adapt to a new era of AI-driven mathematical breakthroughs.

$SPCX.US SpaceX | Close: approximately $160.57 (-4.2%)
SpaceX shares also declined, despite an important strategic development: the company announced a deal to acquire a nationwide low-band wireless spectrum portfolio, potentially strengthening Starlink Mobile’s ability to provide connectivity directly to conventional smartphones and indoors. The transaction could expand SpaceX’s competitive reach against traditional wireless carriers, although regulatory approval remains necessary.

Thursday’s share-price decline suggests that broader market weakness and concerns surrounding the company’s expansion plans outweighed the strategic upside for investors during the session.

$INTC.US Intel | Close: approximately $107.08 (-5.3%)
Intel recorded the steepest decline among stocks, with heavy trading volume reflecting continued pressure on semiconductor shares. Concerns about AI-sector revenue expectations added to the day’s weakness, while Intel’s longer-term challenge remains demonstrating that its manufacturing investments and competitive strategy can generate stronger financial returns.
Investors will be watching upcoming earnings for evidence of improved execution and progress in its foundry business.

$AMD.US Advanced Micro Devices | Close: approximately $620.68 (-3.9%)
AMD ended the session lower alongside NVIDIA and other semiconductor companies as uncertainty surrounding AI spending weighed on the sector. The company’s opportunity in AI accelerators and server processors remains significant, particularly as data-center operators expand computing capacity.

However, investors are demanding clearer evidence that AI-related investment will translate into sustainable revenue and earnings growth. AMD’s next quarterly earnings report will be an important catalyst for assessing its momentum.

$SNDK.US SanDisk was among the session’s weakest major technology names as memory and storage stocks sold off following disappointing preliminary results from Samsung.

Investors are increasingly focused on whether strong AI-driven demand can justify elevated valuations and offset future increases in memory supply. SanDisk’s long-term prospects remain tied to expanding data-center storage needs, but Thursday’s decline highlighted the risk of further volatility after a substantial rally.

$NVDA.US Close: approximately $230.48 (-2.9%)
NVIDIA finished lower as concerns about OpenAI’s revenue outlook triggered profit-taking across AI-related stocks. Investors questioned whether current AI spending expectations fully reflect the potential returns on massive infrastructure investments.
NVIDIA remains central to AI computing, but Thursday’s session showed how sensitive its valuation is to any indication that AI monetization could disappoint.

$MU.US Micron suffered a sharp decline as investors reassessed the outlook for AI-related memory demand. Samsung’s preliminary third-quarter results fell short of market expectations, raising concerns about whether the memory industry can sustain its extraordinary growth.

Despite Thursday’s sell-off, Micron’s high-bandwidth memory products remain strategically important to AI infrastructure, and analysts continue to see potential for strong long-term demand.

🇺🇸 EE. UU. endurece el control sobre las visas de trabajadores extranjeros

El vicepresidente de Estados Unidos, JD Vance, anunció la suspensión de Microsoft, Adobe y varias grandes empresas tecnológicas del programa PERM, utilizado por compañías para patrocinar la residencia permanente (green card) de trabajadores extranjeros, incluidos empleados con visas H-1B.

La Administración Trump acusa a estas empresas de abusar del sistema migratorio y de utilizar trabajadores extranjeros en condiciones que podrían perjudicar a trabajadores estadounidenses. Entre las compañías señaladas también figuran Cognizant, Infosys, Tata, Wipro, HCL y Capgemini.

Vance puso especialmente el foco en Microsoft, afirmando que la empresa habría despedido trabajadores estadounidenses mientras recurría al programa H-1B. Microsoft rechazó esas acusaciones, señalando que la mayoría de sus empleados en EE. UU. son estadounidenses y que alrededor del 80% de sus solicitudes H-1B del último año correspondieron a trabajadores que ya eran empleados de la compañía.

⚖️ La medida no suspende el programa H-1B. Lo que se restringe es el acceso de las empresas afectadas al proceso PERM, una vía importante para que trabajadores extranjeros obtengan la residencia permanente.

El anuncio marca una nueva fase en la política migratoria de la Administración Trump, con mayor presión sobre las grandes empresas tecnológicas y el uso de trabajadores extranjeros especializados.

$SPCX.US SpaceX shares are down roughly 3–4% today as investors digest the company’s aggressive financing plans. Reuters reports that SpaceX is planning approximately $30 billion in bonds plus $10 billion in loans, partly to finance purchases of Nvidia chips. The scale of borrowing is raising questions about leverage and financial risk even as SpaceX continues its aggressive AI and infrastructure expansion.

$INTC.US Intel is falling sharply amid the broader chip selloff and renewed questions about its foundry strategy and AI positioning. The stock was around $109.50 during Thursday trading, with nearly 40 million shares changing hands in the first two hours. Investors are also looking toward Intel’s Q3 earnings on October 29, which could be an important catalyst.

$AMD.US is pulling back with the semiconductor sector, but its long-term AI thesis remains strong. Recent analyst commentary highlights growing demand for server CPUs and AI-agent workloads; Mizuho raised its target to $705 while Citi lifted its target to $800. AMD is scheduled to report its fiscal Q3 results on November 3!

$SNDK.US SanDisk is one of the biggest decliners among the high-volume names, falling around 5%. The move appears largely driven by profit-taking and valuation concerns after an extraordinary 2026 rally.
Nevertheless, the underlying NAND/storage story remains strong, and Mizuho recently raised its target to $2,050, maintaining an outperform view.

$NVDA.US is trading around $230 after falling about 3%, as rising Treasury yields and broader concerns about the sustainability of massive AI infrastructure spending weigh on semiconductor valuations. The company also announced a $1 billion commitment to U.S. science and quantum-computing initiatives, while investors are looking ahead to its GTC event in Berlin later this month.

$MU.US Micron is under pressure despite exceptionally strong memory-chip fundamentals. The stock fell roughly 4.5% today as investors took profits across the semiconductor sector, while concerns about an OpenAI revenue shortfall added pressure to AI-related names. At the same time, Samsung’s huge profit surge confirms how powerful the memory cycle remains.

🇺🇸💰 El déficit de EE. UU. roza los US$2 billones y vuelve a encender las alarmas fiscales

El déficit presupuestario de Estados Unidos alcanzó US$1,993 billones en el año fiscal 2026, un aumento del 12% frente a 2025 y el nivel más alto desde 2021, según datos preliminares de la Oficina de Presupuesto del Congreso (CBO).

📊 El gobierno federal gastó aproximadamente US$7,4 billones, mientras que los ingresos llegaron a US$5,4 billones. El déficit supera el 6% del PIB, un nivel extraordinariamente elevado para una economía que no se encuentra en recesión ni enfrenta una guerra de gran escala.

💸 Uno de los mayores problemas es el costo de la deuda. Los intereses netos superaron US$1,1 billones, creciendo un 11% en un año y representando más de la mitad del aumento del déficit. El endeudamiento público ya supera los US$32 billones. (The Wall Street Journal)

🏛️ El desafío es principalmente estructural: Social Security, Medicare y los intereses de la deuda continúan aumentando rápidamente. Al mismo tiempo, ninguna de las dos grandes fuerzas políticas parece dispuesta a asumir el costo político de una reducción significativa del déficit.

⚠️ Para los mercados, la pregunta es cuánto tiempo puede Estados Unidos mantener déficits cercanos al 6% del PIB sin generar una presión mayor sobre los Treasuries, las tasas de interés, el dólar y la inflación.

🌎 El problema fiscal estadounidense ya no es solamente una cuestión de Washington: puede tener consecuencias para los mercados financieros de todo el mundo.

Атаки на танкеры приводят к скачку цен на нефть и повышают риск новой энергетической кризиса

Атака на танкер Acers к северу от Катара усилила опасения, что нападения на суда распространяются за пределы Ормузского пролива — одного из главных маршрутов перевозки нефти в мире. В инциденте были жертвы, хотя ответственность Ирана за атаку пока не подтверждена.

📈 Воздействие было мгновенным для рынков: Brent вырос более чем на 5%, превысив US$ 105 за баррель. Потоки нефти через Ормузский пролив и по связанным маршрутам уже сократились примерно на 27% за неделю, завершившуюся 4 октября. (The Wall Street Journal)

⚓ Проблема выходит за рамки нефти. Атаки угрожают сложной системе транспортировки, защищаемой США: суда осуществляют перегрузки внутри и за пределами пролива, чтобы экспорт из Персидского залива продолжал работать.

🌍 Для глобального рынка риск очевиден: больше атак → меньший поток нефти → более дорогая нефть → усиление давления на инфляцию и экономический рост.

🇺🇸 При этом Вашингтон сталкивается с дилеммой. Военная эскалация против Ирана может спровоцировать новые атаки на энергетическую инфраструктуру Персидского залива и еще сильнее поднять цены. С другой стороны, продолжение нападений на суда усиливает давление на США с требованием ответить.

🔥 Теперь рынок следит не только за тем, что происходит в Ормузе, но и за тем, насколько эта война может распространиться по Персидскому заливу.
