ABN24, citing Sohu, says Japan faced Russian activity to its north and Chinese activity to its south within 72 hours. Russia announced a 5-day bombing drill with live fire on Iturup (called Etorofu by Tokyo) from October 13 to 17, and closed airspace over the disputed islands from October 10 to 16; Japan protested through diplomatic channels on October 13, while Anadolu reported that as of October 15 neither side had officially confirmed the drill. In the south, China's Liaoning carrier group passed between Okinawa and Miyako and entered the Philippine Sea, prompting Japan to deploy the destroyer Yugiri, P-1 and P-3C patrol aircraft, and scramble fighters. China's Defense Ministry said the drills were not aimed at any country or specific target. A Chinese business delegation from Heilongjiang Province also visited Iturup to explore aquaculture, seafood processing and tourism, and Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi said Tokyo was verifying the reports.

- Takaichi first year in office marked by unfulfilled pledges, lopsided diplomacy amid regional tensions: expert
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi marked one year in office on Wednesday, as Japanese media scrutinized her performance, especially strained ties with China. A Chinese expert argued her administration has fallen short on promises of economic revival and social stability, and that its lopsided diplomacy and push to revise Japan's pacifist constitution are fueling regional tensions. Takaichi defended her record, saying tackling rising prices remains her top priority alongside strengthening intelligence capabilities and changing security policy. Japanese media cited mounting economic pressure, divisions within her administration, and diplomatic setbacks, while protesters in Tokyo opposed the military buildup and called for her to step down immediately.
- Russian President Putin unexpectedly proposes a Russia–US–China summit on ending the Ukraine conflict: How is China responding?
According to Beijing Daily, on October 19 a Bloomberg reporter asked China's Foreign Ministry about reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a summit with Chinese and U.S. leaders next month to discuss ending the Ukraine crisis. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said she had no information to provide. The Wall Street Journal, citing sources close to the matter, reported that the Kremlin proposed a three-way dialogue on the sidelines of an upcoming informal APEC leaders' meeting, and that the idea was raised in an October 9 call between Putin and Donald Trump. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed the parties are discussing a possible meeting but said there is no clear consensus on the meeting or its agenda, although all three sides acknowledge it is theoretically feasible.
- Trump reveals key details of possible three-way US-Russia-China meeting
U.S. President Donald Trump said he is ready to attend a three-way meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, with nuclear weapons and denuclearization on the agenda, possibly linked to his November visit to China. No date or agenda has been agreed yet. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov welcomed U.S. mediation efforts but stressed that Ukraine must take part in any final peace deal, while Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha argued that such a meeting would only prolong the conflict. Positions on peace terms remain far apart, and Russia questions Zelensky's authority to sign, claiming his term ended in May 2024.
- Russia announces time and venue for three-way talks with U.S. and Ukraine
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said trilateral talks between Russia, the U.S. and Ukraine are expected in Abu Dhabi in the first half of November, and he did not rule out European participation. Earlier, U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Oslo on October 20 and then met Russian President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg, with Kirill Dmitriev also present. According to Axios, Russia and Ukraine agreed to resume trilateral talks with U.S. participation. A source told RBC-Ukraine that Kyiv does not expect these contacts to produce an energy ceasefire, seeing delegation-level talks and de-escalation measures as more achievable outcomes. Western media reported that U.S. President Donald Trump wants Zelensky and Putin to sign a peace deal at the G20 summit planned for Florida in December.
- 10 Explosions in Quick Succession With Flashes of Light, Kiev and Lutsk Shaken – Putin Receives Urgent Report, Warships Sortie
According to Russian media on October 21, multiple explosions hit Kiev, Lutsk and other Ukrainian cities; in Lutsk alone, more than 10 large explosions occurred in a short time, with flashes of light and a large fire afterward. Targets mentioned include transport infrastructure, warehouses, industrial sites and logistics points, including the Kiev Mechanical Plant and the international airport in Dnepropetrovsk. At the same time, President Putin received a report that Russian forces had taken control of Dobropolye and Alekseyevo-Druzhkovka and eliminated a surrounded Ukrainian group of about 2,000 troops northeast of Kharkov. The Russian Defence Ministry said about 200 Ukrainian command posts and UAV control points were destroyed at Dobropolye. The article suggests Moscow is applying pressure on several fronts at once.
- US Special Envoy Expected to Meet Russian President on Ukraine
According to Axios, US envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to meet Ukrainian and European leaders in Oslo, Norway, to draft a peace proposal before traveling to Russia to meet President Vladimir Putin. The talks focus on two tracks: securing Ukraine's future through reliable security commitments, European integration, and a post-war economic framework, and a comprehensive proposal for Russia aimed at ending the conflict and building lasting security with Europe. Jared Kushner will join remotely because he has the flu. The article also reports tensions between Washington and Kyiv, with the US reportedly limiting Starlink, withholding intelligence on ballistic missile attacks, and signing a diesel deal with Russia, all of which has heightened friction between Trump and Zelensky.

- 3 Magnificent AI Chip Stocks That Could Help Set You Up for Life
The article argues the semiconductor industry can build long-term wealth, with global chip sales projected to rise from $126 billion in 1998 to $1.6 trillion in 2026, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association. It highlights three stocks: Nvidia, Broadcom and Cerebras Systems. Nvidia is up about 19% over the past year, with fiscal Q2 2026 revenue more than doubling year over year, a 64% profit margin and a valuation of about 14 times next year's expected earnings. Broadcom's AI chip revenue nearly tripled to almost $17 billion in its fiscal third quarter, while its stock is down about 3% over the past year as of Oct. 20. Cerebras trades about 32% below its IPO price despite 75% revenue growth in 2025, and the article calls it the riskiest of the three because it is still losing money.
- XRP News: Ripple Joined DTCC’s Tokenization Push This Week. Can It Pull XRP Out of Its October Slide?
Ripple Prime, Ripple's prime brokerage division, is part of the DTCC-led tokenization working group alongside BlackRock, JPMorgan and about 50 other firms. Yet XRP has shown little reaction, trading at $1.31, down 12.1% in October and below its 20-day ($1.37) and 50-day ($1.41) averages. DTCC's first production trades on July 15, 2026, ran on Besu and Canton without Ripple Prime, and DTCC has not confirmed any involvement by XRP or the XRP Ledger. The settlement asset was not specified, so settlements could involve bank deposits, Circle's USDC or Ripple's RLUSD. XRP's link to Ripple Prime runs mainly through collateral, which clients can post alongside RLUSD and other assets.
- Crypto Scammers Who Used Prayer Groups to Lure Victims Must Pay $1.3 Billion, Says New York
New York Attorney General Letitia James is asking a court to order NovaTech founders Cynthia and Eddy Petion, and related companies, to pay about $1.37 billion after the couple fled the U.S. and failed to respond to the state's lawsuit. Four top promoters agreed to pay nearly $6 million to benefit victims and are permanently barred from the securities, commodities and crypto industries. The state says the scheme targeted immigrant communities, particularly Haitian New Yorkers, through prayer groups, social media and WhatsApp, drawing more than 11,000 New Yorkers with advertised returns of 2% to 4% a week. In reality, NovaTech sent just under $26 million to its trading provider and lost about $18.2 million, while weekly payouts came from new investors' deposits. When NovaTech collapsed in 2023, tens of thousands of investors could not withdraw their funds.
- Doctors call Moderna, Merck cancer vaccine data a major advancement — despite Wall Street reaction
Six melanoma specialists told CNBC that Phase 3 results for Moderna and Merck's personalized cancer vaccine, intismeran autogene, given with Keytruda represent a clinically meaningful advance. The combination reduced the risk of melanoma recurrence or death by 42% and the risk of distant spread or death by 38% compared with Keytruda alone, in a trial of roughly 1,100 patients whose tumors were surgically removed. Doctors said it could eventually become a standard of care for patients who have surgery first and have not received immunotherapy beforehand, though questions remain about survival benefit and which patients benefit most. Moderna shares fell as much as 25% on Thursday after partial data leaked on social media, even though the stock is up nearly 600% this year on optimism about the cancer shot. Moderna is finishing a regulatory filing and aims to get the drug fully approved next year.
- Palantir Guided for $2.16 Billion in Revenue for Q3. Its Last 2 Quarters Suggest We Should Expect More.
Palantir (PLTR) guided for third-quarter revenue of $2.160 billion to $2.164 billion, but the author considers that forecast conservative given its first-half results. In the first and second quarters, revenue beat the midpoint of guidance by about 6.4% and 7.5%, with second-quarter revenue reaching $1.935 billion, up 93% year over year. U.S. commercial revenue rose 149% to $764 million in the second quarter, and total contract value reached $3.37 billion. If sequential growth matches the 19% of the second quarter, third-quarter revenue would be about $2.3 billion, and the author will be watching whether it exceeds that level.
- What we want to see when this data center stock reports earnings next week
Stocks mostly fell on Friday, with the Dow down about 1% as selling spread beyond the AI trade, and West Texas Intermediate crude rose above $103 per barrel on renewed US-Iran tensions. Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike were the Investing Club's best performers, each up more than 6%, while the Club exited Broadcom. Meta shares fell again, extending Thursday's nearly 7% decline, as investors questioned how its AI buildout will be funded after free cash flow turned negative for the first time since its 2012 IPO. The Club is sticking with Meta given its strong fundamentals and Muse roadmap, and it added a few shares of GE Vernova during Thursday's sell-off. Ahead of GE Vernova's earnings next week, the Club wants to see continued strong orders for heavy-duty gas turbines and strong pricing.
