Brent crude hit its strongest level since late April on fresh worries about Middle East supply, a backdrop the article says could sharpen interest in electric vehicles. It highlights Rivian Automotive, which builds electric pickups, SUVs and delivery vans, with about US$4.0b in Automotive revenue, US$1.9b from Software and Services, and a market value of roughly US$17.5b. Rivian is targeting initial rollout of supervised point-to-point driving under its Autonomy Plus package toward year end, which the article says could add higher-margin software and subscription revenue. Tesla, valued at roughly US$1.5t, remains centered on selling electric cars while pursuing AI, robotaxis, humanoid robotics and battery storage, though the article notes significant technological and regulatory hurdles remain in autonomous vehicles and robotics.

- TSLA, QS & LAD: Can These Auto Stocks Beat Q3 Earnings Estimates?
The Q3 earnings season for the auto sector kicks off, with Tesla (TSLA), Lithia Motors (LAD) and QuantumScape (QS) scheduled to report. The sector's Q3 2026 earnings and revenue are expected to rise 3.4% and 0.6% year over year, while U.S. new-vehicle sales fell 0.7% to about 4.12 million units, with fleet purchases offsetting a 5% decline in retail sales over the first nine months. U.S. EV sales hit 262,649 units, up 6.1% sequentially but 39.5% below a year ago, when buyers rushed ahead of the expiration of federal incentives.

- Paris Auto Show European OEMs Strike Back
The 2026 Paris Auto Show was bigger than past editions despite absences from BMW, MG and most Japanese OEMs, with Chinese brands such as BYD, Geely and XPENG showing affordable, tech-packed EVs. European carmakers are responding with faster EV development, sharper pricing and retro-inspired designs, including a revival of the city car segment that Chinese OEMs have largely avoided because EU tariffs squeeze its thin margins. The author singles out the new Smart #2, a two-seater with a 36 kWh LFP battery, a 290 km WLTP range and a 308-liter trunk, priced from 20,000 euros, and estimates it could sell around 40,000 units a year. The Citroën 2 CV revival, priced at 15,000 euros, will only begin deliveries in 2028, which the author sees as a drawback.

Even so, about 253,000 ETH, roughly $570 million, sat in two wallets with no outgoing transfers as of 22:07 UTC. Aave froze its V3 markets on Ethereum, Kamino paused borrowing in its SOL/BTC market as a precaution, and Binance said it was investigating the security incident but had not confirmed that user funds were affected.

- Tampered Ledger reported in Singapore a month before news broke: Asia Express
Singapore police say at least two cases involving tampered Ledger hardware wallets have been reported since Sept. 10, with combined losses of about 3.5 million Singapore dollars ($2.7 million). This is almost a month before the wider incident became public, though it is unclear whether the September 10 case was reported at the time, and the October 28 consumer alert described the police investigation as preliminary. On Oct. 9, Ledger issued a public alert about tampered devices found in the CryptoBilis supply chain, and almost $100 million was drained from wallets containing spyware components. On Oct. 13, Ledger asked retailers in Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Hong Kong to suspend sales of its devices while investigations continue.
