  • Taiwan bans Chinese social media app RedNote for one year on fraud risks Taiwan on Thursday announced an immediate one-year ban on the Chinese social media network Xiaohongshu, saying the app posed a risk of fraud. Taiwan’s interior ministry said in a statement that it will block access to Xiaohongshu, also known in English as Rednote, calling it a potential “high-risk area for online shopping fraud.” Authorities linked the platform to about 1,700 fraud cases that caused financial losses of over 247.7 million New Taiwan dollars ($7.9 million) since 2024, the ministry said. The app has over 3 million users on the island, the ministry said. Officials also said that Taiwanese law enforcement agencies face “significant difficulties” obtaining necessary information because Taiwan lacks jurisdiction over the company. The interior ministry said the app failed all 15 indicators in cybersecurity tests conducted by the National Security Bureau. Taiwan’s internet service providers were instructed to block access to the app, Deputy Minister of the Interior Ma Shih-yuan said in a press conference Thursday. The ministry also urged international platforms such as Google to “completely cease publishing Xiaohongshu advertisements.” Authorities reminded the public not to download the app or stop using it if already installed. In a Facebook post, Cheng Li-wun, chairwoman of the opposition Kuomintang party, said the move “significantly [restricts] Internet freedom,” and described the ban on Xiaohongshu as “a starting-point for building the Great Wall of the Internet,” by the ruling Democratic Progressive Party. Xiaohongshu, Apple and Google did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comments. In 2022, Taiwan banned Xiaohongshu from government devices, calling it a “united front” for Chinese propaganda. Earlier this year, Taiwan sent a letter to Xiaohongshu’s parent company, Xingyin Information Technology (Shanghai), seeking “concrete improvement measures,” but the company did not reply. Xiaohongshu is widely used in China and saw renewed interest in the U.S. earlier this year after a proposed ban on its competitor TikTok. That prompted TikTok users to flock to Xiaohongshu, adding roughly 700,000 new users to the platform, according to Reuters.
  • Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on October 17, 2025 in New York City. Spencer Platt | Getty Images News | Getty Images This is CNBC’s Morning Squawk newsletter. Subscribe here to receive future editions in your inbox. Here are five key things investors need to know to start the trading day: 1. Pump the breaks The stock market’s recovery rally grinded to a halt yesterday. The culprit: A slide in cryptocurrencies, which put a damper on risk-on investing. Here’s what to know: The three major indexes all broke five-day win streaks. Small-cap stocks also felt the pullback, with the Russell 2000 sliding more than 1%. Investor sentiment was soiled by a sell-off in crypto assets. Bitcoin fell 6% for its worst day since March. Crypto-related stocks and some artificial intelligence plays also dropped in the session, signaling that animal spirits were spooked. But retail stocks bucked the downtrend, with the State Street SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT) pushing its one-week gain above 6% as the holiday shopping season kicks into full swing. Follow live markets updates here. 2. Fed head U.S. White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett speaks to reporters at the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., November 13, 2025. Kevin Lamarque | Reuters President Donald Trump has said he knows who he will nominate to be the next Federal Reserve chair, but the public will have to wait. Even so, people seem to be coming to the same conclusion: National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett. Across the board, prediction markets are placing a high likelihood that Hassett will succeed Jerome Powell in the role. Hassett told Fox News this weekend that he’d “be happy to serve” if asked. As CNBC’s Jeff Cox writes, the central bank’s next chair will enter the role at a pivotal time for the U.S. economy. They will also have to navigate a Fed that is currently divided on the direction of monetary policy. 3. Charging ahead Hakan Nural | Anadolu | Getty Images Apple said yesterday that its head of artificial intelligence, John Giannandrea, is stepping down and will be replaced by Microsoft and Google alum Amar Subramanya. As CNBC’s Kif Leswing writes, it’s the biggest shakeup to the company’s AI efforts since it launched the Apple Intelligence suite last year. The move also comes as experts warn that Apple’s AI technology is lagging that of its peers. Meanwhile, Nvidia announced that it bought $2 billion of Synopsys stock as part of a partnership to accelerate computing and AI engineering work. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called the agreement a “huge deal” on CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” yesterday. Synopsys shares surged nearly 5% in Monday’s session, while Nvidia added more than 1%. 4. Cost-co A Costco logo is displayed outside one of their stores on Nov. 21, 2025 in San Diego, CA. Kevin Carter | Getty Images Costco is taking the White House to court over President Donald Trump’s tariffs. The wholesaler filed a lawsuit last week asking for a full refund of the new tariffs it has paid this year. The suit also seeks to block those levies from being collected as the Supreme Court weighs the tariffs’ legality. Dozens of other companies have filed similar lawsuits in hopes of securing refunds if the Supreme Court rules against Trump’s tariffs. Even if the court finds the duties are illegal, Costco warned in its suit that it may not be able to get paid back later, pointing to a Dec. 15 deadline that could prevent refunds of any duties it’s already paid. White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement that Costco’s suit underscores “the economic consequences of the failure to uphold” Trump’s tariffs. 5. Cyber Monday Thomas Trutschel | Getty Images Yesterday was slated to be one of the most important online shopping events of the year. But companies using Shopify faced an hours-long outage, sending shares of the e-commerce firm down nearly 6% in yesterday’s session. Shopify said some merchants had trouble logging in, while others were not able to access point-of-sale systems. By midafternoon, Shopify — which says it handles more than 10% of all U.S. e-commerce transactions — said its platform was beginning to recover.
  • Silver hit record highs in 2025 – here's why the 'Devil’s metal' has further to run Silver, often nicknamed the ‘Devil’s metal’ because of its volatility, has reached record highs this year and still has further to run despite a supply crunch, according to experts. The metal’s growth value has been running alongside gold’s, which has seen its own rally with the price surging past $4,000 an ounce this year. Silver prices reached a historic peak of $54.47 per troy ounce in mid October, marking a 71% rise year-on-year. They’ve since pared back gains somewhat, but are now growing again, despite low supply levels. “Some people were having to transport silver by plane rather than on cargo ships to meet delivery demand,” Paul Syms, head of EMEA ETF Fixed Income and commodity product management at Invesco, told CNBC. “While we’ve seen the spike up, we’ve seen the price come down a little bit. Longer term, there’s a different dynamic this time that could keep silver at reasonably high prices and maybe continuing to go up for some time to come,” he added. October was only the third time in the past 50 years where silver prices peaked. Other silver price highs include January 1980, when the Hunt brothers amassed a third of the world’s supply as they attempted to corner the market, as well as 2011, following the U.S. debt ceiling crisis when silver and gold were embraced as safe haven assets.

  • HP Inc shares fall on layoffs, weak guidance due to U.S. trade regulations PC and printer maker HP Inc. said Tuesday it’ll lower its headcount by 4,000 to 6,000 people, representing a cut of up to 10%. HP also issued a lower-than-expected earnings projection for the new fiscal year. Shares of the company fell 6% in extended trading. Here’s how HP did versus LSEG consensus estimates: EPS: 93 cents adjusted vs. 92 cents expected Revenue: $14.64 billion vs. $14.48 billion expected HP’s revenue increased 4% year over year in the quarter, which ended on Oct. 31, according to a statement. Net income of $795 million, or 84 cents per share, was up from $763 million, or 80 cents per share, in the same quarter a year ago. For the first quarter of HP’s fiscal 2026, the company called for 73 cents to 81 cents in adjusted net earnings per share, while the LSEG consensus was 79 cents. For all of fiscal 2026, HP sees $2.90 to $3.20 in adjusted per share, below the LSEG consensus of $3.33. “HP’s outlook reflects the added cost driven by the current U.S. trade-related regulations in place, and associated mitigations,” the company said in the statement. The company’s personal systems unit that includes desktop and laptop computers contributed $10.35 billion in revenue, up 8% and above StreetAccount’s $10.15 billion consensus. HP said it expects to complete the headcount reduction by the end of fiscal 2028. The company said the restructuring will result in savings of at least $1 billion in annualized gross run rate by the end of fiscal 2028. HP said it expects to incur about $650 million in charges, of which $250 million will happen in fiscal 2026. “As we look ahead, we see a significant opportunity to embed AI into HP to accelerate product innovation, improve customer satisfaction and boost productivity,” HP CEO Enrique Lores said on a conference call with analysts. Corporate executives across industries are hoping to draw on generative artificial intelligence products to speed up software developers and automate customer service. Cloud providers are buying large supplies of memory to meet computing demand from companies that build AI models, such as Anthropic and OpenAI, leading to a rise in the cost per gigabyte of RAM this year. HP, whose headcount stood at 58,000 as of December, announced a similarly sized round of layoffs in 2022. Several other technology companies have announced layoffs in recent months as U.S. consumers face higher prices and interest rates. “Memory costs are currently 15 to 18% of the cost of a typical PC, and while an increase was expected, its rate has accelerated in the last few weeks,” Lores said. The company does expect to benefit after Microsoft stopped supporting its Windows 10 operating system in October, which will lead people to buy new machines, Lores said. Around 60% of HP’s installed base has moved to Windows 11, he said. HP’s printing business did $4.3 billion in revenue, down 4%. The pricing environment is competitive, and customers are putting off purchases of new models, said Karen Parkhill, the company’s finance chief. As of Tuesday’s close, HP shares were down 25% for the year, while the S&P 500 index has gained 15% in the same period.

  • Russia's Ryabkov says potential Putin-Trump summit is on the agenda U.S. President Donald Trump speaks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, as they meet to negotiate for an end to the war in Ukraine, at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, U.S., August 15, 2025. Kevin Lamarque | Reuters The possibility of another meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump is on the agenda, a senior Russian diplomat has said. "I wouldn't rule anything out," Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said in an interview for the state-owned International Affairs magazine, published on Saturday. "The search for a way forward continues," he said. Ryabkov said contacts between Russia and the United States had not been suspended, and channels for dialogue continued to function. Trump and Putin last met in Alaska in August, but failed to produce any agreement to resolve or pause Moscow's war in Ukraine. A subsequent plan to meet in Budapest was suspended indefinitely. "We are working on an ongoing basis. We have well-established formats and channels. Not all of these channels are visible or audible, not all of them need to be discussed publicly, but the fact remains that everything is in working order." Ryabkov said the progress in establishing dialogue between Russia and the U.S. was "impressive". Ryabkov also commented on the possibility of a trilateral meeting with China and the United States on nuclear stability, saying that Moscow did not intend to push Beijing towards it. "We have no questions for China on the subject of arms control and strategic stability," Ryabkov said, adding that Russia had not received any formal proposals from the U.S. regarding such a meeting. Trump has expressed interest in getting China involved in nuclear arms reduction efforts alongside Russia and the U.S. Last month, he said Putin had raised the prospect of a bilateral nuclear de-escalation, and China could be added to that effort.
