Israeli voters go to the polls on Tuesday in the first election since Hamas's October 7, 2023 attacks, which killed around 1,200 people and saw more than 250 abducted; the Palestinian Ministry of Health says Israel's subsequent Gaza campaign has killed more than 74,500 people. The Knesset's 120 seats are allocated by proportional representation, with a 3.25% threshold, and a government needs 61 seats, so coalitions are typical. Polls show neither Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc nor the opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot reaching 61 seats, leaving smaller parties potentially decisive. Analysts say the vote is effectively a referendum on Netanyahu, with security, military conscription of ultra-Orthodox men and war-related economic costs (Israel spends around 8% of GDP on the military) dominating the campaign.

- As the US Teeters on the Brink
According to Izvestia, the US is reducing troop numbers at bases in Jordan, Qatar and Kuwait and evacuating some diplomats. The New York Times reports that US and Israeli militaries have drawn up strike options, including a campaign of around 3 days after the 3 November midterm elections, targeting nuclear facilities and energy infrastructure, though Donald Trump has not approved it. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he ordered the military, Mossad and other agencies to seek to topple Iran's government, while the US and Iran still disagree on how to begin talks. Brent crude rose more than 3% on 22 October to above 112 USD per barrel, its highest since May. One expert said neither side has shown signs of lowering its demands.
- Israel Faces 94 Active Sanctions Measures Worldwide , New Data Reveals
The Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI) has documented 139 sanctions, restrictions and diplomatic measures against Israel across 64 countries and entities, with 94 non-academic measures currently in force. JPPI Director General Shuki Friedman warned that rising uncertainty could drive companies and investors toward markets seen as less risky, discouraging foreign investment and weakening trade and technology cooperation. The UK recently announced measures targeting Israeli settlements in the West Bank, including a ban on imports from these communities and sanctions on companies and individuals that facilitate settlement expansion. France and Canada have announced similar import bans, while Ireland, Belgium, Norway and Spain have advanced legislation to ban trade with settlements. At EU level, proposals to suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement could affect trade, research and academic exchanges.
- Nasdaq dives 2 . 6 % as U . S . and Israel gear up for more attacks on Iran
U.S. stocks, except the Dow, fell on Thursday as a sell-off in tech shares dragged markets lower, while oil prices surged after reports that Israel and the United States plan to resume bombing Iran after the midterm elections. The Nasdaq Composite posted the sharpest drop, losing 694.00 points (2.60%) to 26,008.86, while the S&P 500 fell 1.21% to 7,663.39 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.02% to 52,866.85. Demand for Treasury bonds spiked, pushing yields lower. The euro and Australian dollar weakened against the dollar, while the yen, pound, Canadian dollar and Swiss franc gained. Most Asian markets fell sharply, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng down 3.03%, Japan's Nikkei 225 down 2.65% and South Korea's KOSPI down 3.52%, while Belgium's BEL 20 was a rare gainer, up 1.97%.
- US-Israel military planning: New strike plans against Iran being developed for post-US election window
US and Israeli militaries have developed specific plans for renewed strikes on Iran after the US midterm elections, with likely targets including energy infrastructure, nuclear facilities, and missile and drone arsenals, and have stepped up exercises. Some officials believe one more intensive round could push Iran's economy to the brink and force diplomatic concessions, but skeptics doubt a renewed war would succeed where the February–April campaign, which drove up global energy prices and inflation, did not. Trump has repeatedly vetoed plans for major combat this year and is seen as likely to wait until after the election, while the US will not have its full military assets in place until early November. Iran has vowed to widen its retaliation to data centres and undersea internet cables, and talks continue even though Iran has been unwilling to concede on its nuclear program.
- U . S . and Israel Planning to Ramp Up Iran War Again
According to the NYT, U.S. and Israeli militaries have drawn up specific plans for renewed strikes on Iran after the U.S. midterm elections on November 3, citing U.S. officials and others briefed on the deliberations. Targets would likely include Iran's energy infrastructure, nuclear facilities, and missile and drone arsenal, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel to discuss the strikes. Some officials argue one more big round of attacks could push Iran's economy to the brink and force diplomatic concessions, but the article questions this, noting that the first phase of U.S.-Israeli strikes between February and April drove up energy prices and inflation worldwide, eroded Middle East security and strained the Pentagon's interceptor supply. President Trump has repeatedly vetoed plans for major combat this year, and Iran has vowed to expand its targets to data centers and undersea internet cables.

- Ministry of Construction Tightens Progress of Public Investment Disbursement
The Ministry of Construction has directed project owners and management boards to tighten control over the pace, volume and value of public investment disbursement in 2026, with just over 2 months left in the year. Operations must follow the “6 clears” principle: clear people, tasks, timelines, responsibilities, products and authority. Project owners must draft detailed construction schedules, specify completed volumes, disbursement values and plans for transferring capital between projects. Contractors on delayed projects must immediately resolve land clearance, materials and weather issues, with progress reviewed weekly and monthly. Disbursement results will be a criterion for assessing performance, and delayed contractors will be sanctioned, publicly listed on the National Bidding Network System and reported to the Ministry.
- Calpers pulls back from big tech as AI jitters deepen neocloud sell-off
California's pension fund Calpers, the world's fifth-largest with more than $600 billion in assets under management, cut the combined number of shares it directly held in the Magnificent Seven (Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta Platforms and Tesla) by 26% in the first half of 2026, according to FT calculations from regulatory filings. The fund is increasing its private equity exposure to diversify beyond a few market leaders, and deputy chief investment officer Anton Orlich told the FT that public equity valuations look expensive and tech giants could underperform other investments. The backdrop includes SpaceX raising $40 billion in debt to buy GPUs for AI computing, while Elon Musk warned that financing had largely dried up for companies without substantial revenue outside AI data centers and predicted consolidation among neocloud providers. In pre-market trading on Monday, CoreWeave (CRWV), Cipher Digital and IREN all fell.
- 1 Popular Cryptocurrency to Buy Before It Soars by 873%, According to Cathie Wood's Ark Invest
Bitcoin fell to a 52-week low of $58,566 in July, 53% below its all-time high of $124,773, then rebounded to about $81,800 by Oct. 23. Ark Invest, founded by Cathie Wood, forecasts Bitcoin's market cap could reach $16 trillion by 2030, implying $796,000 per coin and 873% upside from current levels. Its two main drivers are institutional funds allocating about 2.5% of their $200 trillion in managed assets, and Bitcoin capturing 20% to 60% of gold's $28 trillion market cap as "digital gold." The author argues the forecast may be too ambitious: Bitcoin has fallen 13% since the start of 2025 while gold has risen 57%, and a $16 trillion valuation would exceed the combined market caps of Nvidia, Apple and Alphabet. Although Bitcoin's recent recovery could continue, the author considers a rally to $796,000 per coin unrealistic.
- Ophir Mobilizes Crews for Surface Exploration at the Breccia Gold Project in Idaho
Ophir Metals Corp. has mobilized crews to restart exploration at its Breccia Gold Property, a 52-claim, 1,043-acre (422 ha) land package in Idaho's Blackbird Mining District about 40 km southwest of Salmon. The company is focusing on extending the Breccia Gold Zone north-northwest, where a new mineralized breccia outcrop was found about 800 m from the central zone, possibly a splay off the Meadows Fault Zone. A 2021 sample program collected 16 samples, including one returning 25.2 g/t Au, from breccia outcrops extending at least 200 m. Previously reported surface samples include 84.3 g/t Au and 31.3 g/t Ag on the Meadows Fault Trend, 57.6 g/t Au and 19.6 g/t Ag in the East Breccia Zone, and 16.4 g/t Au and 15.1 g/t Ag on the Musgrove Trend. CSAMT and magnetic surveys show a continuous structural corridor to the northwest, which the company says remains open along strike and at depth.
- Onyx Gold Drills 166.0 Meters of 0.7 g/t Gold at Argus Main and Extends Argus Trend to 2.6 Kilometers with New Gold Intercepts at Big Break and JM
Onyx Gold reports assays from 31 additional drill holes at the Argus Gold System and along the Pipestone Fault corridor within its 100%-owned Munro-Croesus Project, 75 km east of Timmins, Ontario. Argus Main hole MC26-343 intersected 0.7 g/t Au over 166.0 m, including 1.6 g/t Au over 21.7 m, and gold has now been identified across an approximately 2.6 km trend. First-pass drilling at Big Break, about 700 m southeast of Argus Main, returned 0.9 g/t Au over 11.0 m in MC26-295, while JM, about 1.2 km southeast, returned 18.8 g/t Au over 2.3 m in MC26-350, including 25.1 g/t Au over 1.2 m. Onyx controls about 8 km of prospective strike, of which about 4 km has been drill tested. Approximately 91% of the 110,000 m program is complete, but results have been released for only 146 of 264 completed holes (55%), with four rigs still active.
- Prediction: Broadcom Will Be a $4.5 Trillion Company by 2030
The author argues Broadcom could reach a $4.5 trillion market cap by 2030, from just over $1.5 trillion today. The thesis rests on rising demand for Broadcom's custom AI processors (XPUs) from customers such as Alphabet's Google, Meta Platforms, Anthropic and OpenAI, with XPU shipments up 3.5x and AI networking revenue up 2.5x year over year in fiscal Q3 2026. Broadcom expects AI revenue of $58 billion in fiscal 2026 and $230 billion in fiscal 2028, with EPS that could exceed $30.00 in fiscal 2028. Assuming 30% annual EPS growth in fiscal 2029 and 2030 to reach $51.36, and a 20x multiple, the article estimates a share price of $1,027, just over 3x current levels. The stock trades at 17 times forward earnings, a slight discount to the Nasdaq-100's 21.5.
