Affected by project delivery delays, regulatory hurdles, and rising costs, Microsoft is exiting some projects it deems high-risk. Bloomberg cited people familiar with the matter as reporting that Microsoft is stepping up reviews of certain data center projects from Nebius, IREN, and Nscale, and re-evaluating whether to sign new cooperation agreements. Following the news, coupled with the broader market pullback, IREN fell 16.95% in overnight U.S. stock trading, Nebius dropped 14.94%, and CoreWeave also fell around 10%. IREN subsequently released its Q1 FY2027 financial results: quarterly revenue rose 66% quarter-over-quarter to $228 million, with AI cloud revenue surging 182% quarter-over-quarter to $200 million, and the AI cloud business posted a gross margin of approximately 86%. The company also disclosed its revenue backlog increased to $20.3 billion, up 22% quarter-over-quarter, with delivery timelines still subject to adjustments. IREN has delivered its first Horizon 1 data center to Microsoft, which obtained NVIDIA Exemplar certification; over $4 billion in annual recurring revenue (ARR) targets have been signed and funded, but due to client-requested design adjustments and changes in vendor delivery schedules, the original target of hitting this by the end of 2024 has been pushed to January 2027, with a possible extension to late February at the latest. As of press time, the IREN contract on Hyperliquid traded at $20.43, a rebound of around 13.3% from its regular U.S. stock session close of $18.03; the NBIS contract rose around 3.2% over the same period. Trading activity also expanded significantly: the IREN contract’s 24-hour trading volume was approximately $20.81 million, up around 219% from the previous 24 hours’ $6.51 million; NBIS’s trading volume rose from roughly $43.22 million to $90.53 million, an increase of about 109%.

According to Singapore's Channel NewsAsia, Singaporean police arrested 44-year-old Singapore national Chen Xiuling at Changi Airport on November 5. She previously served as a director of multiple Singapore-registered companies believed to be actually owned by Chen Zhi, founder of the Prince Group. The charges against her relate to submitting false agreements to JTC Corporation in 2022 to obtain property lease approval. Police also disclosed that since June 2026, they have issued additional asset disposal prohibition orders on 14 properties linked to the Prince Group and seized multiple bank and securities accounts, involving approximately SGD 100 million (around USD 78 million). This brings the total value of assets seized or restricted from disposal for the Prince Group to over SGD 700 million.

Plato Head of Investment Management Long-Short Strategy David Allen said the root cause of Thursday’s market sell-off is investors conflating the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) with whether related investments will deliver returns. The Nasdaq 100 index plummeted as investors dumped US tech stocks amid speculation that congressional Democrats will tighten regulation of the AI industry. Allen noted, “A survival-of-the-fittest competition has been underway among large hyperscale cloud providers. The midterm election results essentially provided the trigger for the sharp market drop.” Antipodes Partners Portfolio Manager Vihari Ross stated that this sell-off reflects less structural problems in AI companies than the market beginning to reassess the realities of the next phase of related investments. “To achieve their goals, massive debt is required—meaning funding costs and interest rates are critical. Additionally, it depends on access to sufficient power supply and whether market demand holds at current levels,” she said. “It would be unwise to assume all companies will achieve perfect results.”

Bank of America Securities noted in a research report that if crude oil and refined product prices rise further in the next three to six months, it could lead to a "significant rise in interest rates". The U.S. two-year nominal interest rate swap, which reflects market expectations for interest rates over the next two years, has risen 113 basis points so far this year. However, Bank of America pointed out that on trading days when oil prices rose, this rate increased by a cumulative 196 basis points; on other trading days, it fell by a cumulative 83 basis points. The volatility of interest rates in the UK and Germany is even more pronounced. Bank of America believes that if energy inflation rises, the Federal Reserve may face fewer constraints when considering interest rate hikes, as U.S. economic growth and consumer performance are resilient, and the labor market remains relatively tight.
