- IEA warns tight diesel supplies could stretch well into 2027
The International Energy Agency (IEA) warned that tight diesel supplies could persist well into 2027, as record diesel prices threaten to fuel inflation and slow economic growth. Middle East and Russian diesel exports fell by a combined 1.3 million barrels per day in September, about 4.5 percent of forecast global diesel and gasoil demand this year. Diesel refining margins surged to a record of almost $95 per barrel that month as reduced refining capacity cut output. IEA members have pledged 426 million barrels from emergency reserves, with about 100 million barrels still to be released, and its governing board meets Thursday to decide details. The agency expects a surplus to return in 2027 but warned that recent attacks on Middle East energy infrastructure and tanker traffic could derail the recovery.
- The Diesel Crunch Will Persist Well Into 2027
Even as crude oil flows out of the Strait of Hormuz recover, the global diesel shortage persists because refinery output in the Middle East and Russia remains constrained and other suppliers cannot fully offset the loss. Diesel prices hit records in mid-September, and the G7's promised release of 100 million barrels offers no easy fix. The IEA expects the crunch to extend into mid-2027, as gasoil supply falls short of demand and inventories are unlikely to be rebuilt before the second half of 2027. Global diesel exports fell 700,000 bpd in September from a year earlier, and diesel accounts for 25% of the expected 2.6 million bpd drop in global oil demand this year. Diesel prices have eased from September's peak above $200 a barrel but remain nearly double crude prices.
- Diesel crunch could persist into 2027 as supply disruptions bite
The IEA warns that record diesel prices threaten to fuel inflation and weigh on growth, as supply disruptions in the Middle East and Russia could keep global markets short into next year. In September, the Middle East and Russia lost a combined 1.3 million barrels per day of diesel exports, about 4.5% of forecast global diesel and gasoil demand this year. Diesel refining margins hit record highs near $95 per barrel in September, while inventories continue to be drawn down. The agency expects the market to return to surplus around 2027, but warns that recent attacks on Middle East energy infrastructure and tanker traffic could derail recovery. IEA members have pledged 426 million barrels from emergency reserves, with about 100 million barrels yet to be released.

- IEA warns tight diesel supplies could stretch well into 2027
The IEA warned that record diesel prices are weighing on inflation and economic growth, and that supply shortages could persist into 2027. In September, the Middle East and Russia together lost 1.3 million barrels per day of diesel exports, equal to about 4.5% of forecast global diesel and gasoil demand this year. Inventories keep falling, and the late-year refinery recovery will not fully offset the deficit, with the gasoil market expected to be in deficit in Q3 and Q4 2026 before returning to surplus in Q1 2027. Diesel refining margins hit a record of almost $95 per barrel in September. By the end of September, 331 million barrels of emergency stocks had been released, with about 100 million still to go, and the agency warned that attacks on Middle East energy infrastructure and tankers could derail the recovery.

- Bitcoin ETFs just saw their biggest day in a month thanks entirely to BlackRock
U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs took in $526.6 million on Monday, the largest daily net inflow in nearly a month, driven entirely by BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which pulled in $665.2 million, its biggest daily inflow since Oct. 7 last year, according to SoSoValue data. Fidelity's FBTC lost $83.6 million and Grayscale's GBTC shed $54.9 million, while the remaining funds recorded no net flows. The inflow more than erased last week's $228.5 million of withdrawals, but funds remain about $90.5 million in net outflows for October, according to CoinDesk calculations. Ether funds moved the opposite way, losing $103.3 million in their fourth consecutive session of outflows, with BlackRock's ETHA accounting for $95.4 million of that.
- A Big4 bank cut deposit rates in the morning, then raised them again in the afternoon
VietinBank cut its deposit rates for terms of 6 months and longer on the morning of Oct. 20, then restored them to pre-adjustment levels by the afternoon. Its afternoon rate board showed 3.5% per year for 6 to under 12 months, 5.9% for 12 to under 24 months and 6% for 24 months and longer, versus 3%, 5.4% and 5.5% in the morning. Rates for terms under 6 months stayed unchanged, including 2.1% for 1 to under 3 months and 2.4% for 3 to under 6 months. The move came as banks followed the State Bank of Vietnam's guidance to cut deposit rates by at least 0.5 percentage points for terms of 6 months and longer, and Vietcombank and Agribank were among those reducing rates.
- IVV vs. SPY: Which S&P 500 ETF Is the Better Buy for Long-Term Investors?
The article compares two ETFs that track the S&P 500, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), which have nearly identical holdings. The main difference is the expense ratio: IVV charges 0.03% a year, one-third of SPY's 0.09%, and its distribution yield is about 1.1% versus 1% for SPY. SPY's high liquidity remains valuable for active traders. The article concludes that IVV is the better choice for long-term investors, since lower costs can compound over time.
- Warren Buffett Is Issuing a Stark Warning About the Stock Market. Here's What History Says Comes Next.
Warren Buffett has warned that investors are taking on too much risk, likening the market to 'a church with a casino attached' and saying people have never been in a more gambling mood. The article points to the S&P 500 Shiller CAPE Ratio, which has stayed above 40 since May of this year; historically, the only other time it held above that level for months was during the dot-com bubble, when it peaked around 44 before the bear market began in March 2000. The article notes that 40 is not an automatic trigger for a downturn, and no metric can predict timing. It suggests investors focus on quality stocks with solid fundamentals and be ready to hold them for at least a few years.
- Early Uber Investor Jason Calacanis Predicts Waymo Could Buy Lucid Or Rivian — Calls Its Chinese-Car Optics ‘Really Bad’
Early Uber investor Jason Calacanis predicts Waymo will buy Lucid Group (LCID) or Rivian Automotive (RIVN), arguing that its reliance on Chinese-made Zeekr vehicles creates cost and reputational problems. He says the arrangement is technically not illegal today, but Waymo would need to pay a tariff of over 100%, and it has drawn national-security concerns on Capitol Hill. According to Semafor, Waymo aims to grow its fleet from about 4,000 vehicles to 8,000 by the end of 2026 and 20,000 by the end of 2027, after closing a $5 billion term loan and a $16 billion equity raise this year. Uber has committed to buying at least 35,000 Lucid vehicles, while its Rivian deal starts with 10,000 autonomous R2 SUVs, with rides expected to begin in 2028. Calacanis, who recently bought small stakes in Lucid, Rivian, WeRide (WRD) and Pony.ai (PONY), expects consolidation in the autonomous-driving sector within 24 months.
