At least 8 Iranian-origin LPG tankers have left the Gulf of Oman since mid-July, carrying roughly 4.1 million barrels according to UANI analysis, despite the US naval blockade. Some transferred cargo near Shinas and Sohar in Oman, while most headed to waters off Malaysia, from where the fuel may reach China, though the final destinations have not been independently confirmed. An Iranian-origin jet fuel tanker also reached Myanmar in September, and 6 of the 8 LPG tankers plus that vessel are on US sanctions lists. An expert said these shipments reflect opportunism rather than a stable new export route, while Iran's crude oil exports are under severe pressure.

- Iran plan to open shipping lane still on the table
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi says Tehran's offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days remains on the table, though Iran's security chief said talks stalled because Washington did not address all seven conditions. Iran wants the lifting of the US blockade on its ports and of sanctions on its oil exports, plus an end to hostilities on all regional fronts; if accepted, the strait could reopen within six days, with talks resuming the next day. Washington insists on addressing Iran's nuclear program from the outset, and Vice President JD Vance has said Iran must make a 'meaningful' cut to uranium enrichment capacity to end the eight-month war. Meanwhile, Iran's Revolutionary Guards navy says two oil tankers caught fire after hitting naval mines, a claim not independently confirmed, and maritime officials reported that a container ship and a dry bulk carrier sank near the strait after being hit by projectiles.
- Treasury Secretary Grilled On Economic Figures And Foreign Policy. He Refrained From Directly Calling Ukraine An Ally.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told NBC's Meet The Press that energy prices would fall once the Iran conflict ends, but he did not say when hostilities would stop. Inflation reached 3.7% in September, a five-month high driven by energy and gas prices, while food was flat, prescription drug prices fell and median rents were 0.4% lower year on year, according to Apartment List. The national average gas price was about $4.30 per gallon as of October 18, versus about $2.98 at the start of the Iran war. Bessent defended the administration's waiver of Russian sanctions, citing sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil, and called Zelensky's claim that the U.S. restricted Ukraine's Starshield access 'reckless' and untrue. Asked whether the U.S. considers Ukraine an ally, he avoided a direct answer and said such matters belong to the president or the secretary of state.
- Iran plan to open shipping lane still on the table
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi says its proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days remains on the table, even as Tehran reviews a US response. Iran made the offer in mid-September after an interim ceasefire collapsed, conditioning it on lifting the US blockade of its ports and oil sanctions and ending hostilities on all regional fronts; if accepted, the strait could reopen within six days. The main sticking point is Iran's nuclear program, which US Vice President JD Vance says must see a 'meaningful' cut in uranium enrichment capacity. Iran's Revolutionary Guards navy claims two oil tankers caught fire after hitting naval mines in the strait, a report IRNA carried but that has not been independently confirmed. Attacks around the waterway have surged over the past two weeks, adding to the energy price and inflation pressures caused by the disruption.
- Trump waives new Russia sanctions
President Trump has temporarily waived for 60 days some sanctions targeting Russia's energy sector and economy, saying he is negotiating peace and does not want to drive Russia away from the bargaining table. The measures are part of the bipartisan Lindsey Graham Act passed last month, which targets Putin, senior military leaders, Russian financial institutions and energy projects, as well as a 'shadow fleet' of oil tankers, and imposes tariffs on buyers of Russian oil and gas, including China and India. The decision drew criticism: Ukrainian President Zelenskyy called it a historic mistake, and Republican Sen. Darline Graham said she would keep the pressure on Russia. It came a week after Trump revealed a deal letting Russia export diesel to the global market, though analysts say this will do little to lower diesel prices. Gas prices have risen more than 34% year over year, according to the latest government inflation data.
- Trump waives new Russia sanctions
President Donald Trump has temporarily waived some sanctions targeting Russia's energy sector and economy, saying he is negotiating peace and does not want to drive Russia away from the bargaining table. The administration said the waiver will last 60 days. The sanctions are part of the bipartisan Lindsey Graham Act passed last month, which also targets Russian President Vladimir Putin, a “shadow fleet” of oil tankers, and countries buying Russian oil and gas through tariffs. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the decision “unfortunate” and “a historic mistake,” and bipartisan lawmakers, including Sen. Darline Graham, also criticized the pause. Gas prices have risen more than 34% year over year, according to the latest government inflation data.
- Cuba Geopolitics : US , Russia , China and EU in 2026
Cuba's position in 2026 is shaped by US pressure, Russian and Chinese support, and an EU review of its 2016 cooperation agreement. The US declared a national emergency over Cuba on 29 January 2026 under Executive Order 14380, allowing extra tariffs on countries that supply oil to the island, and those tariffs were ended on 20 February 2026. Order 14404 later created a sanctions list that named GAESA, President Miguel Díaz-Canel and Banco Internacional de Comercio. Oil supplies from Venezuela and Mexico were disrupted from January 2026, and a Russian tanker brought about 730,000 barrels on 31 March 2026 while China sent rice and solar equipment. On 18 June 2026 the European Parliament voted 283 to 199 to urge suspension of the 2016 agreement.

- 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.
