Mounting geopolitical tensions and a tight presidential election may intensify market volatility in coming weeks, but high-quality growth stocks may prove a useful way for investors to hedge against any future uncertainty, according to Trivariate Research. October is a historically volatile month for stocks , and this week alone has seen the market seesaw. "It now seems the market has come full circle," Trivariate Research founder and CEO Adam Parker wrote in a recent research note to clients. "It is much easier to buy and hold growth stocks, and it requires less arrogance in predicting the unknown than it used to. Wholesale retailer Costco and hotel giant Hilton are two other growth names that Parker listed.

Ahead of the press conference, the offshore yuan was last 0.04% higher at 7.1328 per dollar.

The dollar index was last steady at 103.51, having peaked at 103.60 in the previous session.

CNN —For the first time, scientists have found evidence that marine mammals could be inhaling microplastics, according to new research that detected the potentially harmful particles in the breath of bottlenose dolphins off the coasts of Louisiana and Florida. Previous research has discovered the tiny particles present in marine mammals’ tissues from exposure through consumption and then movement from the digestive tract into other organs. “We found that dolphins may be breathing in microplastics, even if they live in rural areas away from high levels of human activity. The researchers are unsure how inhalation of microplastics will affect dolphins, but they suspect it could have an impact on the creatures’ lung health, according to the study. The study team held up petri dishes to the mammals’ blowhole, through which dolphins inhale and exhale.

Analysts told BI it points to continued AI chip growth in the short to medium term. ASML sells large lithography machines — which print circuit patterns onto silicon wafers — to chip manufacturers, including TSMC, Samsung, and Intel. Its customers include Nvidia, the GPU designer spearheading the AI chip boom, along with AMD and Qualcomm. This makes TSMC a good bellwether for AI chip demand. While a slowdown at ASML might suggest some caution, the bigger picture still points to a continued surge in AI demand.
