The Reserve Bank of India said the latest leverage ratio framework from the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision will take effect on April 1, 2027. The minimum leverage ratio is 4% for domestic systemically important banks (D-SIBs) and 3.5% for other banks. An Indian branch of a global systemically important bank (G-SIB) must maintain 3.5% plus the G-SIB leverage ratio buffer, and faces capital distribution constraints if it does not meet that buffer. Stakeholders had asked for more time to transition after the August draft, but the RBI did not accept the request, citing the Basel III timetable set in the Governor's statement dated October 1, 2025.

- Durable liquidity still significant amid forex interventions , rising cash demand : Report
An Axis Bank Economic Research report says India's banking system liquidity has tightened sharply toward zero, driven by elevated Government of India (GoI) balances, RBI forex operations and rising cash demand before the festive season. Durable liquidity stands at 3.2 per cent of NDTL, overnight rates have risen, and banks have turned back to the Variable Rate Repo (VRR). The report expects the gap between deposit and credit growth to reopen and bank funding conditions to worsen further. Seasonal patterns suggest liquidity will ease for a time in early December, but festival-season currency demand is likely to keep it low.

- RBI conducts ₹1 lakh cr Variable Rate Repo auction to push liquidity into banking system
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Monday conducted a seven-day Variable Rate Repo (VRR) auction for ₹1 lakh crore, as surplus liquidity in the banking system fell substantially. Since August 6, the central bank had been absorbing liquidity through VRRR auctions to drain surplus generated by banks' FCNR(B) deposit mobilisation under a limited swap window (June 8 to August 31). Monday's seven-day VRRR auction drew bids of ₹1,50,735 crore against the notified ₹1 lakh crore and accepted ₹1,00,014 crore at a weighted average rate of 5.52%. As surplus shrinks towards a small deficit, the recent 25 basis-point repo rate hike is expected to transmit more effectively to deposit and lending rates. Average daily net absorption under the liquidity adjustment facility rose from ₹1.2 lakh crore in July to ₹7.8 lakh crore in September, and surplus stood at ₹1,85,873 crore as of October 18, 2026.

- Sony (TSE:6758) Stock Looks Fairly Valued Following Next Console Price Rumors
Sony's shares have risen 82.8% over the past three years, prompting questions on whether the valuation is backed by its cash flows. Reports that next-generation consoles from Sony and Microsoft could be priced above $1,000 may support higher unit economics but could also affect how quickly and reliably cash arrives. A discounted cash flow model based on latest twelve-month free cash flow of about ¥1.49b, with analyst projections of growing free cash flow through 2031, gives an intrinsic value broadly in line with the current ¥4,137.00 share price.
- Russia sends 3 diesel tankers to the US
Under an agreement between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, Russia has dispatched 3 diesel tankers toward the U.S. East Coast, according to Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak. Most of the additional supply is expected to come from Rosneft, after Russia eased diesel export curbs to allow up to 500,000 tonnes to be shipped abroad in October. One tanker, the Malta-flagged Agioi Fanendes carrying about 40,000 tonnes, left Primorsk and is expected in New York on 7 November, though the vessels’ identities and final discharge ports have not been disclosed. The deal calls for Russia to supply more than 300,000 tonnes immediately, 500,000 tonnes in November and another 1 million tonnes after that, and the U.S. has issued a temporary sanctions waiver allowing Russian diesel imports.

- Airfares rose in all 50 of the biggest U . S . metros , by as much as 25 % - LocalNews8 . com
Government ticket data show average domestic one-way fares rose in all 50 of the busiest U.S. metro areas from April to June 2026 compared with a year earlier, with Detroit up nearly 25% and Las Vegas up 24%. Even the smallest increases, in San Diego and Omaha, were close to 10%. Nationally, the average one-way fare climbed 16%, from $241 to $279, while overall inflation over the same period was 3.9%. An Engine analysis of 6,694 city pairs found fares rose on 89% of them, and Spirit Airlines’ exit, which began on May 2, accounts for only about one percentage point of the national increase. Jet fuel costs also climbed, with U.S. carriers paying $4.11 a gallon in April 2026 compared with $2.31 a year earlier.
- Trump at South Florida rally revives the idea of military intervention in Cuba after Iran
Speaking at a rally in Fort Myers, Florida, President Donald Trump suggested that U.S. warships returning from the Iran war could stop in Cuba, reviving an interventionist approach he first floated earlier this year. He said one ship would halt about 50 yards off the coast before Secretary of State Marco Rubio was sent in to “finish up the deal.” Rubio, who has voiced doubts about reaching a diplomatic resolution with Cuba’s current government, then posted that “now is the time” for action, urging change through “a discrete partnership with the CIA.” The remarks follow criminal charges against former leader Raúl Castro and new sanctions, after talks with Havana failed to impress Washington.
