- Trump Admin Floats Unfreezing Russian Assets In Big Move To Restart Talks
According to the Financial Times, the US has proposed that European countries unfreeze some Russian sovereign assets and deposit them in a special-purpose vehicle controlled by Washington, a plan presented by envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner at a Miami meeting on Oct. 10 to build momentum toward a broader Ukraine peace deal. Moscow has rejected temporary proposals such as the 60-day pause offered by Zelensky and wants a lasting political settlement, while European officials, including Germany's Merz, have pushed back that frozen assets should remain frozen in Europe. At least €260 billion in Russian central bank assets have been frozen since 2022, most of it at Euroclear in Belgium. The article also argues that Russia and Iran, bound by a 20-year strategic treaty signed in 2025, are helping each other against US interests, and cites a Reuters report that two Iranian officials linked Iran's shipping attacks to the US elections on Nov. 3.

- UPS Yields 6.7% After Firing Amazon. Here's Whether the Dividend Survives 2027.
UPS shares yield 6.7% as of October 16. The company has moved away from high-volume, low-margin Amazon deliveries and froze its dividend earlier this year, ending a 16-year streak of increases. The article says the payout will likely remain frozen through 2026 and 2027, citing competition from 10- and 30-year Treasury yields above 5% and other industrial dividend payers, but calls the dividend's safety questionable: UPS generated $5.47 billion in free cash flow in 2025, with $5.4 billion going to dividends, and free cash flow is projected to fall to $5.05 billion in 2026 and $5.01 billion in 2027, with the dividend absorbing about 98% of 2026 free cash flow. Rising competition and high fuel prices add pressure, and the article suggests investors may find more safety in the industrial sector.
