AI Jitters, NYC’s Quest to Delay Anthropic IPO 10/15/26

Investors are rotating out of tech stocks (cnbc.com/2026/10/14/stock-market-today-live-up…) amid growing concerns around record-high interest rates and possible overspending on artificial intelligence. Rockefeller Capital CEO Greg Fleming, a Wall Street veteran, discusses his take on the markets and the policy driving unease. New York City Comptroller Mark Levine sent a letter to Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei asking the company to delay its upcoming IPO. He says the listing will distract the company from focusing on safety and that the U.S. needs federal regulation on AI. Plus, Ukraine says it will restart strikes (cnbc.com/2026/10/15/ukraine-russia-energy-ceas…) on Russian oil refineries and Berkshire Hathaway makes a $330 million investment (cnbc.com/2026/10/14/berkshire-hathaway-investm…) in Bending Spoons.
