UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, arriving in Egypt, called for an end to the widening of conflicts, protection of civilians and space for diplomacy, saying wars are deepening global inequalities and economic pressures. He warned that the consequences of conflicts reach beyond battle zones, affecting energy markets, shipping routes, supply chains and financial systems. Guterres said attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure must stop, and that aid to Gaza remained severely restricted ahead of winter. He urged donors to step up funding, noting the World Food Programme urgently needed USD 450 million to feed people in Gaza and the West Bank over the next six months, and called on countries to stop supplying weapons to those killing civilians in Sudan.

- Tesla stock jumps as Barclays bets a SpaceX takeout bump is coming
Barclays upgraded Tesla to Overweight from Equal Weight and raised its price target to $450 from $370, and the stock rose 6% on Monday. The bank believes a possible Tesla merger with SpaceX could bring a takeout premium, after Elon Musk said both companies had formed special committees to discuss a deal. Barclays sees an all-stock acquisition by SpaceX as the most likely structure, with about 3.1 SpaceX shares per Tesla share at a 20% premium, leaving Musk with about 53% of the combined company's voting power; approval requires more than 50% of total outstanding shares. Barclays forecasts 1.80 million Tesla vehicles in 2026 and 1.92 million in 2027, and Tesla's robotaxi fleet had logged about 3.1 million unsupervised miles across 6 cities as of October 18. Barclays does not expect robotaxis to matter financially in the near- to mid-term.
