In Germany, more than 160,000 people are expected to join protests on October 31 in 34 cities, organized by the 'Gen Z regelt' movement against mandatory military service and for more education funding. German authorities warned that extremist groups, including far-left ones, could try to exploit the situation to cause disorder. In France, 70,000 police will be deployed for the nationwide protest on October 31, two weeks after riots and looting damaged many shops and public buildings. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said current law allows police to ban face coverings when public order is threatened, as authorities worry rioters may use Halloween masks to hide their identities. BSK, the national student representative body, has distanced itself from the movement and plans its own protest on November 20.

- German Stocks Fall On Oil Surge , Political Tensions
German stocks fell on Tuesday, extending the previous session's decline, as rising oil prices and political tensions in France and other parts of Europe prompted more selling. Concerns over AI-related valuations and a sharp acceleration in Germany's producer price inflation also weighed on sentiment. Brent crude rose nearly 2% to $111.75 a barrel after Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabian infrastructure and reports of vessel attacks in the Gulf.
- French Government Pledges Change After Protests Turn Violent
The French government pledged to overhaul the national online university admissions platform, with significant changes in 2027 before it is formally replaced in 2028. Minister Philippe Baptiste also committed a 4.5 billion USD loan to renovate schools, reduce class sizes and increase student grants. The concessions aim to ease weeks of protests that began with students and spread to workers demanding relief from rising living costs, following the October 17 unrest that saw Limoges' city hall gutted by fire. About 2,400 people have been arrested, while protest leaders say the proposed measures have not met their demands. The unrest has also spread to Belgium, Albania and Italy.
- Signs French protests have not peaked; second wave about to begin?
France’s Interior Ministry said 410,000 people joined marches on 24/10, and 70,000 police were deployed to prevent a repeat of the looting seen in riots that spread across several cities on 17/10. Union leaders have called for protests on 31/10 and a nationwide strike on 5/11, citing growing anger over wages, living costs and public services, and the Yellow Vest movement has called for large marches on the same Saturday. The government has opened talks with unions and student representatives, but protest leaders say they have received no response so far. Police unions warn they cannot sustain such high deployment, and 1,314 people were arrested on 24/10, about half the previous week’s number, with around 50 officers injured. Macron, whose term ends in April next year, has limited room to meet demands due to strained public finances and no longer holds a majority for key bills.
- French Retailers Hit Hard by Wave of Unrest
Protests in France led to looting or vandalism at more than 3,000 businesses over the weekend, including luxury stores in Paris, and a Hermès store in Marseille was stripped of goods. Morningstar DBRS estimates insured losses could reach 1.2 billion euros ($1.3 billion), while the French trade federation puts direct damage at several hundred million euros. Carrefour sharply cut its 2026 fiscal-year profit outlook because of riot losses, estimating a negative impact of 80-200 million euros, and its shares fell 15%. Not every shop can afford private security, and the interior minister said 70,000 police would be deployed this weekend.
- In pictures: Initially peaceful protests across France over inequality again descend into violence
Mostly peaceful protests across France over rising living costs and inequality turned violent again at the weekend. France's Interior Ministry said 410,000 people joined rallies in several major cities, including Paris. In Paris, riot police used tear gas and water cannon against about 500 hooded youths throwing stones, while in Marseille, youths blocked streets, set fire to bins and threw rocks and bottles at police. The protests began when high school students in suburban Paris complained about poor school conditions, including teacher shortages. The yield on France's 10-year bond rose above 5% for the first time since 2002, settling at about 5.03% on Friday, and some investors fear the debt problems could spread across the euro zone.

- The Force Behind Zelensky Defying Trump's Order
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on October 30 that Ukraine resumed drone attacks on three Russian oil refineries and one gas chemical complex, causing light damage to one facility. Presidential adviser Yuri Ushakov said Ukraine was ignoring President Trump's call to stop the attacks and was counting on European support. According to the Wall Street Journal, Ukraine had informally paused attacks on Russian refineries from mid-October under U.S. pressure, out of concern that rising global fuel prices would hurt Washington before the midterm elections on November 3. President Zelensky denied a full halt order, saying the military had only become more cautious. The Kremlin said the attacks would not hinder preparations for talks between Russia, Ukraine and the U.S.
- Vietnam City Holds 8.8 Billion Tons of ‘Black Gold,’ 3.6 Billion Tons Lie Less Than 300m Underground
Quang Ninh, which accounts for over 90% of Vietnam's national coal reserves, is estimated to hold 8.8 billion tons of coal, with 3.6 billion tons less than 300 meters deep. Coal was long the province's economic backbone, but the mining share of its economy fell from about 35% in 2010 to 8.11% of GRDP in 2025 as the locality shifted toward green development, services and processing industries. Quang Ninh's economy grew nearly 10% a year on average over 2021–2025 and rose 11.89% in 2025, with GRDP reaching 368,445 billion VND and per-capita GRDP of $10,402. Since September 1, Quang Ninh has officially become the eighth centrally run city of Vietnam, after the National Assembly approved its establishment with all attending delegates voting in favor.
- Amazon Plans to Spend More on AI. Here’s Why the Stock is a Once-in-a-Decade Buy Hiding in Plain Sight.
Amazon reported earnings below estimates and a deeper-than-expected negative free cash flow, while saying it plans to spend “meaningfully more” on AI next year; the stock fell afterward and was down 14% from its August high. AWS revenue grew 39% to $46 billion, and the company kept its capital spending forecast for the year at $220 billion. Trailing 12-month free cash flow was negative $42 billion due to property and equipment purchases. CEO Andy Jassy said AWS, now at a $184 billion annual run rate, could become a trillion-dollar revenue business within five to 10 years; the author argues the worries about AI spending may be overdone and that Amazon is reasonably priced at 30x forward earnings.
- President Donald Trump Claims, "Tariffs Are Making Us Much Richer," but Economists Show They Have Unintended Consequences
President Trump has said tariffs are making the U.S. much richer and bringing in “trillions of dollars,” but the article cites research showing a more complicated picture. The Tax Foundation projects the tariffs will raise $1.426 trillion in revenue over 2026–2035, while also reducing full-time-equivalent employment by 338,000 jobs and cutting GDP by 0.4%. Three New York Fed economists estimate that the 2025 tariffs added 2.9 percentage points to goods price inflation by February 2026, and that without them goods prices would have fallen slightly. They estimate a 10% across-the-board tariff raises consumer goods prices by 2.6% after one year, mostly through pricier imports and partly through higher input costs for U.S. producers.
- Deputy PM: Electricity Prices Expected to Fall 2%, Gasoline Special Consumption Tax Cut to 0%
The government is directing Vietnam Electricity (EVN) to cut costs to lower retail electricity prices by about 2% until March 31, 2027, and plans to cut the special consumption tax on gasoline from 7% to 0% from November to the end of 2026, at a cost of about 4,000 billion VND. Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Van Thang said these measures create about 0.07 percentage points of room to keep inflation within the National Assembly's 4.5% target, while nine-month CPI rose 4.52%. Nine-month GDP grew about 9.01%, but reaching 10% for the full year requires fourth-quarter GDP growth of 12.5%, which the government calls a very big challenge but not impossible. Public investment disbursement exceeded 720 trillion VND as of October 29, above 75% of the plan, and the government has allocated 3.15 million billion VND of the 3.42 million billion VND in medium-term public investment capital approved by the National Assembly.
- Here's Why I Haven't Bought SpaceX Stock and Probably Never Will
The author says he has not bought SpaceX (SPCX) even though the stock rose 25% over the three months to October 22, mainly because he does not fully understand the company, despite its leadership in space launches, satellite communications and AI. He cites other concerns: a price-to-sales ratio of about 58 versus 3.5 for the S&P 500, a profit only in the most recent quarter, cash burn of around $10 billion in that quarter, no dividend, and doubts about CEO Elon Musk's leadership. The author considers the case against the stock strong, since many things would have to go right for the company, which is far from guaranteed.
