The clash between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko erupted as the capital faces the risk of losing power, water and heating after Russian strikes on energy infrastructure ahead of winter. On October 13, Zelensky said Kyiv had the slowest progress in the country on its winter resilience plans and that he would make decisions on the city after consultations. On October 14, Klitschko was given only 5 minutes to speak in parliament, and he shifted responsibility to the central government by asking where the capital's air defense was and where Ukrenergo's facilities were protected, despite billions allocated for it. He said Kyiv's heat and power facilities had been hit nearly 50 times in 2026, and the city had prepared almost 700 large generators and 70 mobile boilers, but had lost all its own power generation and now depends fully on Ukraine's unified grid. He declared, "Kyiv will stand."

- Asian stocks rise as tech bounces from rout , eyes on Warsh
Most Asian markets rose on Friday after a tech sell-off the previous day over AI boom concerns, with investors awaiting comments from Federal Reserve boss Kevin Warsh at the IMF gathering. Seoul and Tokyo gained early after falling 7.6% and 4.9% respectively on Thursday, with SK hynix and Kioxia among the top performers. The earlier sell-off was fuelled by hotter-than-expected US inflation data that increased bets on more Fed rate hikes, and by worries about CoreWeave's debt, whose shares tanked 15.5% on Wednesday. Nvidia chief Jensen Huang defended CoreWeave, lifting AI stocks.

- Bitcoin miners face widening AI financing costs as lenders scrutinize deals
Bitcoin miners expanding into AI and high-performance computing face sharply different borrowing costs as lenders grow more selective about data center loans, according to BlocksBridge Consulting. IREN secured a $3.65 billion GPU financing package at a blended 6% rate in June and a separate $2.4 billion deal at a fixed 9% in August, although the two cover different projects. Financing can also carry equity costs, as Google agreed to backstop $1.4 billion in Cipher Digital lease obligations in exchange for warrants representing 5.4% of its equity. A June 2026 estimate citing VanEck data put publicly traded miners' funding needs near $50 billion, with gaps of $21.1 billion at IREN, $7.2 billion at Riot Platforms and $4.6 billion at HIVE Digital.

- An AI bust could come from places investors arent watching , an economist says
Concerns about an AI bubble are growing, and TS Lombard's Dario Perkins warns that investors may be overlooking other risks. Debt among smaller cloud providers, model developers and suppliers could reach $2 trillion by the end of 2027. Perkins does not see this as a systemic risk, but warns that earnings disappointments and canceled orders could ripple through the ecosystem, and that a chip glut could follow over-ordering. Much of the industry's revenue growth still comes from spending within the AI ecosystem rather than from businesses and consumers outside it. He also flags political backlash, noting that ordinary people dislike AI and nearby datacenters, and warns that one high-profile accident could turn AI toxic.
- Yen jumps after JGB auction draws big demand , euro finds relief
The yen rose 0.2% to 158.15 per dollar in Asian trading after a 20-year Japanese government bond auction drew bids of 5.84 times the amount sold, well above the 4.01 times at the previous auction, and the yield fell 6 basis points to 3.71%. A State Street strategist said the record demand suggests sidelined cash is returning and that JGBs are becoming a relative haven from political and fiscal volatility in Europe, particularly France. Anti-government protests in France prompted curfews in several cities, while Italy said it would send 500 troops after two days of unrest, and the euro rallied 0.2% to $1.1234. Elsewhere, bitcoin slipped 0.3% to $81,674.25 and ether edged down 0.2% to $2,393.21.
- Unemployment rate dips to 4 . 7 % - but vacancies hit five - year low
Vacancies fell by 21,000 to 691,000 in the three months to September, the biggest drop since the three months to March and the lowest since July to September 2014 outside the pandemic, while unemployment dipped in the three months to August. Payroll numbers were down 66,000 over the year to September. The ONS said the fall was mainly among smaller firms struggling with higher labour costs, following rises in employer national insurance, the minimum wage and workers' rights. A CBI survey found labour costs and regulations were making it harder to create jobs, and firms urged the Chancellor not to add to their burden in the October 28 Budget. ICAEW's Suren Thiru said the labour market is 'running on idle' and unemployment could climb above 5 per cent, while Shadow Chancellor Andrew Griffith blamed Labour's 'Jobs Tax' and red tape.
- CNBC Daily Open: Tech rebounds in the U.S., but Asia isn’t buying it yet
U.S. tech stocks rebounded as the Nasdaq Composite rose more than 1% on Monday, with Nvidia up 1.4% and Tesla up 3.8%. In Asia, however, tech shares fell on Tuesday, with South Korea's Kospi down over 4% and Japan's Nikkei 225 down 1.6%. Nvidia also unveiled plans to back four German AI startups as part of its nearly $10 billion European investment commitment. Jenny Lee of Granite Asia said Asian companies are reaching IPOs much sooner, often at four to five years old, while Jio Platforms' Indian IPO saw its anchor investor quota oversubscribed more than 30 times, aiming to raise up to 302 billion rupees ($3.2 billion). In Singapore, several agricultural stocks fell after Senior Minister K Shanmugam warned that companies would not escape responsibility for possible roles in the haze, noting seven firms had been questioned by the Singapore Exchange.
- NiSource (NI) Stock Looks Overvalued Against Its Dividend Outlook
NiSource has nearly doubled shareholders' money over the past five years, delivering a 97.6% total return, which raises the question of whether dividends can justify the current share price. The article highlights a new 20-year energy agreement with Microsoft, including customer-funded grid upgrades and long-term electric service for data centers, which may affect future capital needs and cash-flow visibility. Using a Dividend Discount Model with inputs of about $1.35 dividend per share, roughly 9.07% return on equity, a payout ratio slightly above 61%, and implied dividend growth of about 3.5%, the estimated intrinsic value sits meaningfully below the current share price of $41.95. The model still does not bridge that gap, suggesting income investors are paying a premium for a relatively steady payout with modest assumed growth.
