The luxury cruise ship Odyssey (capacity 650 passengers) is docked at Sihanoukville port in Cambodia after operator Villa Vie Residences suspended operations due to fuel costs that have risen over 300% since the US, Israel and Iran war began. Fuel cost per cabin rose from about USD 1,800 to USD 8,000. The company says it will cover accommodation and travel costs but has not provided funds for passengers to leave Cambodia, and is assessing restructuring and fundraising options over the next 60 days. Very low-sulfur fuel oil was about USD 960 per tonne on 27/10, down from wartime peaks but well above the level of just over USD 500 before the war. Rising fuel costs were also one of the causes behind the collapse of Spirit Airlines earlier this year.

- Oil prices jump on Middle East worries as U . S ., Israel reportedly weigh fresh Iran strikes
Oil rose after The New York Times reported that U.S. and Israeli militaries have drawn up plans to resume strikes on Iran after next month's midterm elections, with a 'short but intensive' operation in preparation. Brent crude futures climbed 2.45% to $111.49 a barrel, and West Texas Intermediate gained 2.39% to $99.47. The U.S. also ordered non-emergency government employees and their families to leave Saudi Arabia, citing increasing attacks by Iran-aligned Houthis on civilian targets. Aptus Capital Advisors' David Wagner argued the economic impact may be milder than in past decades, as gasoline took about 5% of average disposable income a decade ago versus about half that today. He noted crude remains well below its inflation-adjusted historical highs.

U.S. gasoline averaged $4.27 a gallon, nearly $1.30 higher since late February, with affordability a top voter concern before the early November midterms. The tentative U.S.-Iran accord expired in August, and the article notes the conflict had earlier pushed U.S. inflation to a three-year high in May.

Global oil prices rose to their highest level since May on Tuesday after Iran and its Houthi allies claimed attacks on Middle East oil infrastructure. Brent crude briefly topped $111 a barrel before easing to $110.30, a rise of more than 55% since the Iran war began in late February. West Texas Intermediate jumped to $105.75, up more than 60% since the war started, and the average U.S. gasoline price reached $4.27 a gallon, according to AAA, nearly $1.30 higher since late February. The UKMTO reported an incident involving a tanker off Oman, Iranian media said two tankers hit naval mines south of the Strait of Hormuz, and Houthi strikes hit Saudi facilities including the Shaybah oil field and Saudi Aramco's Yanbu site. U.S. inflation hit a three-year high in May before easing over the summer, but the tentative accord with Iran expired in August and attacks have continued.
- Petrol and diesel prices today , October 16 : How much does fuel cost in Delhi , Mumbai , Bengaluru
State-run oil companies kept petrol and diesel prices unchanged in the 6:00 AM revision on Friday, despite the US-Iran war pushing up global crude and fuel costs. CNG prices rose in eight locations, with Chennai, Mathura and Meerut seeing the biggest increases of ₹2 each. In Mumbai, petrol stayed at ₹111.21 per litre. Brent fell 0.39% to $105.51 a barrel and WTI dropped 0.55% to $97.43 as the IEA agreed to release over 20 million barrels of diesel, though investors remained sceptical that these measures would cool the market. Attacks around key shipping routes have surged over the past 10 days, and Washington is weighing lifting sanctions on some “shadow fleet” tankers to ease record-high freight rates.

The Democratic National Committee's press release says gas prices have been above $4 per gallon for 158 days this year, more than any other year on record.

- Trump jokes $5,000 would buy 'a hamburger and maybe a small dessert' at Mar-a-Lago as cost of living looms over midterms
President Donald Trump joked that the $5,000 payments he has promised to every adult U.S. citizen would buy little more than 'a hamburger and maybe a small dessert' at his Mar-a-Lago club, a week before midterm elections. The pledge applies if Republicans win both the House and Senate, and would cost roughly $1.2 trillion and require Congressional approval. In an AP-NORC poll, 84% of U.S. adults named cost of living among the most important issues in their vote, and 79% disapproved of Trump's handling of it. Some economists warned the one-time payment would do little to ease affordability pressures and could worsen inflation. Trump has made similar cash promises before that did not materialize, including $200 prescription-drug cards for 33 million Medicare beneficiaries in 2020.
- Investing in IT infrastructure to let stock investors trade 24/24 hours
National Assembly deputy Trần Hoàng Ngân said more than 14 million individual and institutional accounts are trading on the stock market, so modern IT infrastructure must be funded to keep the market running continuously, safely and transparently, moving toward trading without a lunch break. He noted Vietnam's stock market is 26 years old and has had 1-2 crashes that halted trading and forced closures, and urged state support for infrastructure investment. Deputy Nguyễn Hải Nam proposed allowing loss-making firms with partial state capital to publicly disclose information for competitive auctions of divestments, provided the disclosure clearly warns of their losses. Deputy Bùi Xuân Hải noted the draft does not define the 'securities industry', so incentive policies for its workforce need further consideration.
- AMD CFO Delivers Bullish Update That Investors Will Want to Hear
AMD's stock has risen 142% in 2026 so far and more than 330% over the past five years, amid expectations that CPUs will play a bigger role in AI computing. Speaking at the Citi 2026 Global TMT Conference, CFO Jean Hu said AMD sees its total addressable market (TAM) reaching $2 trillion to $3 trillion by 2030, compared with her earlier estimate of roughly $2 trillion for its semiconductors and other products. The figure reflects the total market size its products can serve rather than expected revenue. In the second quarter, AMD's revenue rose 50% year over year to $11.5 billion, with data center sales up 107% to $6.7 billion on demand for its EPYC CPUs and Instinct GPUs. While Nvidia leads the ultra-high-end GPU market for training AI models, AMD has been gaining ground and winning server CPU share from Intel.
