Saudi PIF to own 93.4% of Electronic Arts EA per Brazil antitrust filing; traders watch float and liquidity - WSJ

According to @StockMKTNewz, a November filing with Brazil’s antitrust regulator (CADE) shows Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund would own 93.4% of Electronic Arts, with Silver Lake at 5.5% and Affinity at 1.1% (source: @StockMKTNewz citing CADE and The Wall Street Journal). For traders, that ownership split would leave only a small minority float, implying tighter liquidity and potentially higher price sensitivity if consummated (source: ownership percentages in the CADE filing as relayed by @StockMKTNewz). The tweet cites The Wall Street Journal reporting the same breakdown, reinforcing the regulatory disclosure as the basis for the figures (source: WSJ via @StockMKTNewz).

WSJ: Trump Urged Japan Not to Provoke China Over Taiwan After Call With Xi — Market Read for BTC, ETH, USDJPY

According to The Kobeissi Letter, citing the Wall Street Journal, President Trump advised Japan’s Prime Minister not to provoke China over Taiwan after speaking with President Xi, indicating a potential de-escalatory signal in the immediate term for cross-strait tensions, per the Wall Street Journal as relayed by The Kobeissi Letter. For crypto traders, geopolitical headline risk matters because BTC and ETH increasingly move in sync with U.S. equities, raising beta to risk-on/risk-off shifts, according to the International Monetary Fund’s 2022 analysis and the Bank for International Settlements’ 2022 research. Safe-haven demand historically benefits the Japanese yen in risk-off episodes, making USDJPY a key barometer to watch alongside crypto, according to Ranaldo and Soderlind, Journal of Finance 2010. Geopolitical risk shocks generally lift global risk premia and volatility across assets, which can spill into digital assets’ short-term returns and volumes, according to the Caldara and Iacoviello Geopolitical Risk Index research.

China Tariffs Update: No New Rollback Today; WSJ Friday Report Was About Exemptions and Auto Relief, Impact on Stocks, BTC, ETH

According to @StockMarketNerd, the widely shared Wall Street Journal item some accounts cite today actually ran Friday and covered added tariff exemptions in recent weeks plus an expansion of an existing relief program for automakers, not a new tariff rollback today. Source: Stock Market Nerd on X, Oct 19, 2025. According to @StockMarketNerd, the only fresh development today was the US President saying he thinks China wants a deal, which does not confirm any tariff removal or policy change. Source: Stock Market Nerd on X, Oct 19, 2025. For trading, @StockMarketNerd’s clarification implies any risk-on rally driven by tariff rollback chatter lacks a confirmed catalyst and is prone to fade in China-exposed equities and beta assets including BTC and ETH until an official policy shift is published.
