US Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Washington could allow more Russian diesel onto the global market, depending on Moscow's actions, calling the easing of sanctions “a carrot” to encourage the Kremlin to end the war in Ukraine. Under a deal between Trump and Putin, Moscow will export 800,000 tonnes of diesel in October and November, followed by another 1 million tonnes, as Trump faces pressure to curb fuel price rises before the Nov. 3 midterm elections. Analysts say the volumes are too small to materially affect global fuel prices, given world demand of around 28 million barrels per day. The deal has drawn fierce opposition from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and from some Republican and Democratic lawmakers, who called it “a gift to adversaries and a betrayal of allies.” Critics also warn the easing could benefit Russia while Kyiv keeps striking Russian refineries to cut its energy export revenue.

- Trump administration may let more Russian diesel onto market, energy secretary tells CNBC
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright told CNBC that the U.S. may allow more Russian diesel onto the global market depending on Moscow’s behavior. He framed the Trump administration’s suspension of sanctions on Russian diesel exports as “an incentive” for Moscow to end the war in Ukraine. Under a Trump–Putin deal, Russia would export 800,000 metric tons of diesel in October and November, followed by another million tons; the first 300,000-ton shipment equals about 75,000 barrels per day over one month, and the 500,000-ton tranche about 124,000 bpd. Analysts say these volumes are small relative to global demand of around 28 million barrels per day, so they will not materially lower prices. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several Republican senators have sharply criticized the deal.
- What President Trump wants to do with both Ukraine and Russia
President Trump said the US will do business with both Ukraine and Russia after the conflict ends, despite criticism of efforts to restore trade ties with Moscow. He argued Washington should have secured greater financial returns from the billions of dollars in aid to Kyiv under Joe Biden. The announcement came as the first Russian diesel tanker, which left the Primorsk port, was en route to New York under a supply deal announced on October 9, covering 40,000 tonnes of fuel. Moscow then eased restrictions on diesel exports, allowing production of 500,000 tonnes, which would be the first time since 2022 that Russian diesel has been shipped to the US. Trump said the deal aims to ease fuel costs before the November midterm elections, but a plan to import about 900,000 tonnes of Russian diesel has drawn criticism from European allies, Ukraine and members of Congress, who say the cargoes could evade sanctions.
- Russia ready to resume three-way talks with Ukraine and US after November 4
On 25/10, Russian presidential foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov said Russia is ready to resume three-way talks with Ukraine and the US after November 4, but does not expect much from the meeting. The statement followed remarks by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about a new round of talks expected in the first half of November, possibly in Abu Dhabi. Ushakov said a peace agreement “still needs to be finalized.” Earlier, US envoy Steve Witkoff met Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg for three hours and said discussions would continue at the technical level. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has recently criticized Zelensky strongly, threatened to cut intelligence sharing with Kyiv and loosen sanctions on Russian oil exports.
- Donald Trump, Aligning with Vladimir Putin Yet Again , Leaves Ukraine and US Relations with Europe Under Pressure
The October 9 deal between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin allows Russia to sell millions of tonnes of diesel, a major departure from US policy that runs counter to Ukrainian and European interests and contradicts a US law signed in September to authorise sanctions and tariffs on nations importing Russian oil and gas. The volume is just under six million barrels, roughly a day and a half of US diesel demand, so it is unlikely to significantly affect global diesel prices. Talks in Miami with Ukrainian and European officials ended without agreement, and those officials were reportedly blindsided by the announcement. Kyiv's strikes on Russian refineries have reportedly cut Russian refining capacity by up to 60%, and Zelensky says Ukraine will stop if Russia stops attacking its energy infrastructure. After the announcement Russia struck a Ukrainian power plant, Trump told Ukraine on October 10 to 'get a new leader', and Washington has reportedly threatened to cut intelligence sharing and block weapons sales if the strikes continue.
- Washington-Kyiv rift leaves Ukraine peace facing a new test
U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky while Washington eases some energy sanctions on Russia, deepening public disagreements as the sides seek to restart peace talks before winter. On Oct. 19, Trump again suggested Ukraine send someone else to negotiate, the second time in just over a week, after raising on Oct. 10 the idea that Ukraine needs a new president to reach a deal. He argues Kyiv's strikes on Russian refineries push up global fuel prices, while Zelensky warns that easing sanctions on Russian fuel could reduce Moscow's incentive to end the conflict. The fuel move was announced during a Miami meeting of U.S., Ukrainian and European negotiators on Oct. 9, as energy prices remain high ahead of the U.S. midterm elections on Nov. 3. Some U.S. lawmakers have also opposed easing the sanctions.
- Trump waives new Russia sanctions
President Trump has temporarily waived some sanctions targeting Russia's energy sector and economy for 60 days, saying he is negotiating peace in the Russia-Ukraine war and does not want to drive Russia away from the table. The sanctions come from the bipartisan Lindsey Graham Act passed last month, which also targets Putin, Russian financial institutions, a 'shadow fleet' of oil tankers, and countries buying Russian oil and gas, including China and India. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy called the decision 'unfortunate' and 'a historic mistake,' and bipartisan lawmakers also criticized the pause. Gas prices have risen more than 34% year over year according to government inflation data, and analysts say a recent deal allowing Russia to export diesel will do little to lower global diesel prices.

- Robinhood’s Tenev warns US tokenization uncertainty deters ‘serious assets’
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev says uncertainty over how long US tokenization rules will last could keep investors from putting substantial assets into tokenized markets, even though the SEC has opened a temporary path through an innovation exemption. He says further rulemaking or legislation is needed to provide longer-term certainty, and Binance Research projects the tokenized equities market could reach $349 billion by 2030 under its base case, from $4.43 billion as of Sept. 15. In the third quarter, Robinhood's crypto revenue fell 55% year on year to $120 million and crypto notional trading volume fell 38% to $50 billion. By contrast, event-contract revenue rose sixfold to $173 million, and total net revenue rose 12% to a record $1.42 billion, below analyst expectations. Adjusted EPS was $0.60, missing estimates by 4 cents.
- Is Anthropic a SaaS Stock? Here's How It Stacks Up With the Other Top Software Players
Anthropic has released its S-1 filing ahead of what could be the biggest IPO ever, targeting a valuation of around $2 trillion. Although it is often called an AI lab, the company shares several traits with SaaS stocks: it sells Claude and Claude Code through monthly subscriptions and reports metrics such as customers by annual recurring revenue (ARR), with more than 11,900 customers at $10,000 or more ARR as of the end of the third quarter. Sales, marketing and partnerships took less than 20% of revenue in the first half of 2026, and the company had 5,300 employees at the end of the third quarter, far fewer than Salesforce's roughly 83,000. Based on third-quarter revenue of $16.8 billion (annualised to $67 billion), the $2 trillion valuation implies a price-to-sales ratio of around 30, close to Datadog at 25.4 and Snowflake at 21.9. The article says this looks relatively low given sequential revenue growth of nearly 50% and adjusted profitability, though the stock carries risks such as large cloud spending commitments.

- Cruise ship suddenly halts operations as fuel prices soar, 650 passengers stranded in Cambodia
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.
