UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, arriving in Egypt on Saturday, called for an end to the widening of conflicts, protection of civilians and space for diplomacy, warning that wars are deepening global inequalities and economic pressures. He said the effects of conflicts in West Asia, Ukraine and Sudan now reach energy markets, shipping routes, supply chains and financial systems, describing this as an “El Nino of war.” He condemned alleged attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure as prohibited under international law, called Houthi attacks on civilian targets in Saudi Arabia totally unacceptable, and said Yemen needed a political horizon. On Gaza, he said essential aid remained severely restricted ahead of winter and urged donors to fund the World Food Programme, which urgently needs USD 450 million to feed people in Gaza and the West Bank over the next six months. He reiterated the need for a credible political path towards lasting peace and a two-state solution, and cited Egypt's vital role in Middle East efforts, including its mediation between the United States and Iran.

- Investors are doing just as well this year by shunning AI. How to invest if the tech trade keeps fizzling
A Goldman Sachs index excluding stocks classified as “AI enablers” was up 12.4% through Oct. 22, edging ahead of the S&P 500's 12% gain and now roughly even after tech rallied. Tech and AI-related firms make up about 45% of the S&P 500, and that heavy weighting has become a drag as the tech sector fell about 7% this month while other sectors held up. Investors are rotating into defensive sectors, with consumer staples, health care and utilities ETFs up 7% to 10% this month, and Oppenheimer upgraded commercial services and insurance to overweight. Trivector Research sees potential in non-tech compounders such as Eli Lilly, up 22%, and Viking Holdings, up 15% this year, with an average Wall Street target of $109 versus prices near $82. Berkshire Hathaway's Class B shares are up 8% this month, and its $364 billion stock portfolio may help it outperform if tech weighs on the index.
- Tom Lee's Bitmine Keeps Buying Ethereum But Pivots to Record Share Buybacks
Bitmine Immersion Technologies added 10,452 ETH (about $24 million), bringing holdings to 6,051,933 ETH and nearing its goal of owning 5% of the network, which it calls the “Alchemy of 5%.” The bigger move this week was a buyback: the company repurchased 2.04 million shares at an average $22.48, lifting its 2026 total to 22.9 million shares for about $399.6 million. Chairman Tom Lee called it the largest equity repurchase program ever run by a crypto treasury firm and said buybacks will be made when management sees the shares as undervalued. Strategy likewise paused Bitcoin buying to spend $204.9 million repurchasing its STRC preferred stock, underscoring treasury firms’ shift toward shares over new crypto purchases.
- Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Comments on Proposal to Further Raise Maximum Administrative Fines to VND 3 Billion and Suspend Electricity, Water and Internet Services?
Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Nguyen Khac Dinh said the proposed coercive measures to suspend electricity, water, and Internet and telecom services in the draft amended Law on Handling of Administrative Violations should be strictly regulated, avoid abuse, and protect the lawful rights of third parties. He agreed with extending these measures nationwide, noting they already apply in Hanoi, special urban areas, and other cities, and asked the drafting agency to ensure no violation of human and citizens' rights. On fines, the draft raises the maximum from 1 billion to 1.5 billion VND for individuals and from 2 billion to 3 billion VND for organizations; he stressed the main purpose is deterrence, not revenue. The draft also proposes extending the limitation period to 2 or 3 years for some fields and adds measures such as temporary exit suspension and sealing business premises. He urged agencies to proactively issue synchronized sector-specific decrees to avoid delays.
- Not AMD. Not Marvell. Here's Which Company Nvidia Needs to Be Worried About.
Nvidia leads the AI computing chip market, but the author argues Broadcom, with its custom AI chips, poses a bigger threat than AMD or Marvell. Broadcom's AI semiconductor revenue reached $16.7 billion, while Marvell's AI data center revenue totaled $2.1 billion in Q2. Broadcom has worked with Alphabet for a long time on Google's TPU and also has partnerships with Meta, Anthropic, and OpenAI. Broadcom estimates its AI segment revenue at about $58 billion this year, rising to $115 billion in 2027 and $230 billion in 2028, while Nvidia expects about 70% revenue growth in 2027. At 43 times trailing earnings and 17 times next year's estimates, the author argues the stock does not reflect that growth and considers it attractive.
- If You Invest $1,000 in Micron Today, Here’s What It Could Be Worth by 2030
Micron's fiscal 2026 revenue rose to $133.19 billion (+256.3% YoY), and fiscal Q4 revenue reached $54.23 billion (+379.3%), above the $50.97 billion consensus, with management expecting an even stronger fiscal 2027. The article's model projects a $1,000 investment could be worth about $1,416.10 by October 22, 2031 (7.21% a year), with a range of $818.30 to $2,473 at that horizon. Drivers cited include accelerating earnings, tight DRAM and HBM supply, and 26 Strategic Customer Agreements running through 2030, with more than 75% of fiscal 2027 shipments already committed. Risks include memory's cyclical pricing, dependence on hyperscaler AI spending, $30.7 billion in fiscal 2026 capex, and a beta of 2.226. The stock traded at $870.54 at midday, down 4.72% on the session, and has fallen 16.6% over the past month.

TimeH2O-v1 has 108 million parameters and handles univariate series as well as series with covariates such as price, promotions, or weather. Organizations can fine-tune it on their own data and infrastructure for greater accuracy in their domain.
