Hundreds of thousands marched across France on October 24, mostly peacefully, but the rallies turned into clashes in Paris and Marseille. Government and the CGT union estimated 410,000 to 800,000 participants nationwide, with 110,000 to 250,000 in Paris. Police used tear gas and water cannon against a group of about 500 hooded youths, while in Marseille several shops, including two jewelers, were vandalized and looted. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez blamed far-left groups and criminal gangs for stirring unrest, and authorities deployed 70,000 police and gendarmes; many Paris shops closed and more than 20 metro stations halted. The wave began with student protests over school conditions and widened into opposition to government economic policies, spreading to Belgium, Italy and Albania; far-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon predicted protests would continue until President Macron addresses social unrest.

- Elon Musk Wants to Give Every American Child a Share of SpaceX. Here's What It Would Cost -- and What It Means for Everyone Else Holding the Stock
On Monday, Elon Musk posted on X that next year he will give one SpaceX share to every child in America, calling it “the first of many.” Assuming the same definition of a kid as the roughly 72 million American children under 18, he would need only about 1.8% of his 3.9 billion B shares, worth roughly $12 billion at today's price, against an estimated net worth of about $1 trillion. Because he can use shares he already holds, no new shares need to be issued and existing shareholders would not be diluted. Class A shares carry 10 times the voting power of B shares, giving Musk about 85% control of SpaceX, which he is not expected to give up. Longer term, the impact on other shareholders is slight, though many recipients may sell quickly, and nearly 100 million SPCX shares trade daily.
- State Bank of Vietnam creates mechanism to exclude VND 1.7 million billion from credit growth limits
The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) has set a mechanism to exclude from, or add to, credit growth limits for commercial banks financing 35 large, key projects with total borrowing needs of about VND 1.7 million billion, aiming for two-digit economic growth.

Credit in the Southeast region was nearly VND 6.8 million billion, about 35% of national outstanding loans and up 10.93%, and 15 projects there needed around VND 757 thousand billion in borrowing. Governor Phạm Đức Ấn stressed the goal of unlocking financial and banking resources for growth in the Southeast region over 2026–2030.
- Nvidia vs. Micron: The AI Revolution Is Big Enough for Both. Here's the Better Buy.
The article compares Nvidia, maker of the logic chips that power AI models, with Micron, which supplies the memory and storage used in AI training and use. Over the past five years Nvidia has risen more than 800%, while Micron has climbed 1,200%. Nvidia leads the AI chip market, with its latest revenue up 106% to $96 billion and net income up 126% to $59 billion. The author sees Micron benefiting from agentic AI, with its latest quarterly revenue up more than 370%, but notes memory is cyclical and could face pressure once supply normalizes.

- Amgen vs. Gilead Sciences: Which Biotech Dividend Stock Is the Better Buy?
