Nvidia unveiled its Open Agent Safety Platform, a strategic move to govern the agentic AI ecosystem and potentially set industry standards, reinforcing its dominance beyond just hardware. In the competitive landscape, Meta's AI agent 'Muse' continues to drive positive sentiment, prompting OpenAI to accelerate its own 'o' project. While these developments are bullish for the AI infrastructure thesis, they also highlight the intensifying race for agentic AI dominance, which could lead to increased capex and regulatory scrutiny. India's industrial output grew 8.0% year-over-year in August, significantly beating the 6.5% forecast, providing a bright spot in the emerging market landscape. This strong data point suggests resilient domestic demand despite global headwinds. Additionally, NetEase shares climbed in Hong Kong following a Morgan Stanley top-pick designation, indicating selective strength in Chinese tech and gaming stocks. However, the broader EM currency complex remains under pressure from the oil shock and strong dollar.
