Venture capital investment in Indian startups reached $10.9 billion between January and mid-October 2026, up 6.8% on a year earlier, but the number of rounds fell by more than a third to 1,253 as investors concentrated capital in deeptech, AI and infrastructure, according to Tracxn data.
China's economy expanded 4.5% year on year in the July-to-September quarter, slightly ahead of the 4.4% analysts expected and faster than the 4.3% recorded in the second quarter, but weak consumption, falling fixed-asset investment and a 20.6% slump in property investment show how unbalanced the recovery remains.
Indian shares fell in morning trade on October 19 as private lenders weighed on the market after their September-quarter results. The Sensex was down about 321 points at 74,408 by 11 am, Axis Bank fell 5% despite a 39% profit jump, Urban Company slid 9.4% after a wider loss and ixigo surged 13%.
Brent crude fell about 1.4% to roughly $108 a barrel on October 19 after President Donald Trump signed an order suspending a raft of Russia sanctions and waiving tariffs on buyers of Russian oil.

Elon Musk's Starlink, Reliance's Jio Satellite Communications and Bharti-backed Eutelsat OneWeb all hold licences to offer satellite broadband in India, but none has launched commercial service.

Indonesian shares fell more than 5% on October 19 after an 11.6% plunge on Friday, when index provider MSCI said it was considering moving the country from emerging-market to standalone status over insufficient progress on ownership transparency and trading behaviour.

Microsoft has withdrawn from an agreement to use a planned £2 billion AI data centre being built by Nscale in Loughton, Essex, after grid operators reportedly said the site would not get enough power until the early to mid-2030s.
