Brent crude rose as much as 3.8% to 117.45 USD per barrel on 23-10 before settling at 116.72 USD, and has climbed more than 10% since early October even as Middle East exports recover. According to Kpler, Middle East oil exports last week exceeded 24 million barrels per day, above the 23.3 million before the war, but Iran has stepped up attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, with Iranian state TV saying 7 ships were hit or struck by mines. Gulf producers are relying more on pipelines, ship-to-ship transfers and military escorts to keep crude moving, which restores volumes but lengthens delivery times and adds costs. Rapidan Energy warned that oil could quickly reach 150 USD per barrel if the conflict severely damages key oil and gas infrastructure, while the IEA said supply outside the Middle East rose by 2.3 million barrels per day from February to August. In the U.S., September PCE inflation is forecast at 3.7% year on year, markets expect the Fed to hold rates next week but lean toward a December hike, and the S&P 500 fell 0.5% in the 23-10 session.

- 7 highlights from JD Vance CBS News town hall : Iran , immigration , corruption and 2028 plans
At an hour-long CBS News town hall in Michigan, Vice President JD Vance argued that the Trump administration's economic and Iran strategies will pay off over time, while acknowledging that cost-of-living concerns weigh heavily on voters. He said he hasn't decided whether to run for president in 2028, though he is widely seen as an early frontrunner for the Republican nomination. On the economy, Vance said the country is "turning the ship around" but that fixes will take time, as inflation remains above the Federal Reserve's 2% target. Gas prices have stayed high amid the Iran conflict and Iran's attacks on oil tankers, and Vance warned about the risk of Iran controlling shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
- Asian Markets Trade Mostly Lower
Asian stock markets were mostly lower on Tuesday after mixed cues from Wall Street, as elevated crude oil prices, ongoing hostilities in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, and inflation concerns pushed global yields higher. Iran continues to assert control over the Strait of Hormuz, with ship attacks more frequent than at any point in the war. Markets expect the US Fed to hold rates next week while pricing in roughly a 94% chance of a rate hike in December. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 fell 0.72% to 8,782.00, led by miners and financial stocks, while National Australia Bank plans to cut 2,500 jobs and Ingenia Communities jumped more than 10% as it negotiates with Warburg Pincus over a $2.14 billion takeover offer. Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell 0.62% to 64,512.35 in the morning session.
- Oil races higher amid high tensions as retail sales stumble
Wealth Club's Susannah Streeter says markets are cautious after a volatile week, with a tech sell-off and Middle East tensions keeping inflation concerns high. UK retail sales fell 0.4%, a much sharper drop than expected, as households cut back on non-essentials such as clothing, footwear and homewares, and high fuel prices weighed on confidence. Brent crude reached $114 a barrel, its highest since May, amid fears that US and Israeli forces could strike Iran's energy infrastructure, Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabian facilities and risks in the Strait of Hormuz. The Nasdaq Composite fell 2.6% to 26,009 and the S&P 500 dropped 1.2%, as bets on faster rate hikes raise the cost of funding the AI buildout. Futures point to a muted start for Wall Street.
- One single Trump decision is the direct cause of your shrinking paycheck
The opinion piece argues that President Trump is the main cause of the recent inflation surge, pointing to the war with Iran he began at the end of February. Inflation had fallen from a 9.0% peak in June 2022 to 2.7% by the end of 2025, but the author says it had begun rising again before the war, as businesses stocked up on imports ahead of tariffs. Iran's blocking of oil through the Strait of Hormuz sent oil prices soaring, and the increase spread through transport and fertilizer costs. The Producer Price Index rose 6.3% year-over-year in September, which the author says points to higher consumer inflation in coming months. Wage growth slowed from 4.0% in 2023 and 2024 to 3.0% in the latest data, so the author argues workers are falling further behind as prices rise.
- Brent Hits $110 as Hormuz Ship Attacks, Houthi Strikes on Saudi Trigger Oil Rally
Crude oil prices surged on October 16 as escalating conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe raised fears of severe global supply shortages. Brent briefly hit $110 a barrel, its first time since May, before closing at $109.86, up 3.7%; US WTI rose 3.5% to settle at $101.41. Iran intensified attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting shipping, Houthi militants fired missiles at Saudi Arabia, and Ukraine vowed to keep striking Russian refineries. For the week, WTI gained more than 10% and Brent nearly 5%. Analysts warned that triple-digit crude could add to global inflation, raising retail fuel, manufacturing and transport costs.
- Gold Prices Fall for Third Session as Oil-Driven Inflation Concerns Shift Focus to Fed Rates
Spot gold fell 0.4% to $4,123.32 an ounce and gold futures slipped 0.5% to $4,141.09, extending losses to a third straight session as oil-driven inflation concerns push traders to reassess Fed policy. Brent crude traded above $110 a barrel, near its highest level in about five months, amid supply worries after reported attacks on vessels near the Strait of Hormuz and Houthi claims of strikes on Saudi energy infrastructure. A hotter-than-expected U.S. CPI, driven by gasoline and diesel prices, has raised the risk that rates stay high for longer. CME FedWatch implies an 83% chance of no change at the October 27–28 meeting and a 94% chance of a rate hike in December, with the PCE inflation report due after that meeting.

- Warren Buffett Won His 10-Year Bet Against Hedge Funds. Here's What the S&P 500 Has Done Since It Ended.
Warren Buffett won his 10-year bet with Protégé Partners: the Vanguard S&P 500 index fund returned 125.8% from 2008 to 2017 (around 8.5% a year), while the five funds of funds Protégé picked returned between 2.8% and 87.7%. Those funds beat the index in 2008, when the index fell 37%, but lagged in each of the following nine years. The author says the VOO fund turned $10,000 invested at the close on Dec. 29, 2017 into around $33,300 as of this writing (about 233%, almost 15% a year), compared with around $22,600 for the bet's winner over its 10 years. The author argues that most of the gap comes from 2008, the year of the financial crisis: a $10,000 investment in the index fund at the start of 2008 would be worth around $75,000 today, about 11% a year. The author still favors a low-cost S&P 500 index fund for long-term money over picking individual stocks, but suggests planning on returns closer to 8.5% a year than the almost 15% since the bet ended.
- Europe Considers Deploying Forces in the Black Sea
According to a report citing Topcor.ru, some members of the European Parliament have proposed that the EU and its member states consider deploying naval forces in the Black Sea after recent deadly attacks. The Parliament condemned attacks on civilian ships off the coasts of Bulgaria and Romania and repeated airspace violations over Romania, blaming Russia for the attacks and escalating tensions, but the idea has not been officially endorsed. The proposal concerns EU rather than NATO forces, as the article notes NATO naval forces operate only in the Mediterranean, not the Black Sea. Military experts say Russia could respond more forcefully if European navies deploy there, and the Kremlin accuses the move of aiming to contain Russia and support Ukraine.
- As AI Labs Burn Cash, the Real Question Is Which Suppliers Get Paid
Microsoft confirmed it is pulling out of a planned UK AI data center being developed by Nscale, because the electricity needed would not be available until the 2030s, while keeping its other agreements with Nscale. The article argues investors should distinguish suppliers paid for hardware, such as Nvidia and Broadcom, from operators like Oracle, CoreWeave and Nebius, which build data centers, rent capacity and must fund infrastructure while waiting for customers to pay. Nvidia has invested in more than 200 companies, while Broadcom's risk lies in customer concentration. AMD is competing with Nvidia through a deal to deploy 6 gigawatts of its GPUs for OpenAI, and it granted OpenAI warrants for up to 160 million AMD shares tied to milestones. Nvidia has also agreed to buy unused CoreWeave computing capacity under certain conditions through 2032.
- Russia's space industry falls behind; allies turn to US rockets?
Russian political scientist Yuri Baranchik argues that a rocket from Elon Musk's rival, not a Russian one, launched Kyrgyzstan's first national satellite into orbit, even though Kyrgyzstan is a member of the EAEU and CSTO. The Vostochny Cosmodrome has launched no spacecraft so far in 2026: a Soyuz-2.1b launch was postponed to November–December and has been delayed again, a Start-1M launch was moved to 2027, and nearly 10 months have passed without a launch from the site. Baranchik says Russia must offer allies a compelling proposal, since its reputation as a leading space power is not enough to win customers. Otherwise, allies may keep turning to rivals such as the United States, and Russia could gradually lose its allies.
- Musk: Ukraine violated Starlink service terms
Billionaire Elon Musk has accused the Ukrainian military of violating Starlink's service terms and using the service to carry out deadly drone attacks, according to a post on X on 24 October. He said the loophole was patched the previous week, and access to the service has since been restricted. Musk also sharply criticised those he said want to prolong the conflict in Ukraine indefinitely without offering feasible solutions. Ukrainian authorities have not yet responded to the allegations.
- Russia and US quietly prepare major deals
According to Russian outlet MK.ru on 24 October, Russia and the United States are quietly preparing further major economic projects before the end of 2026, following the diesel deal, covering rare earths, fertilisers, liquefied natural gas (LNG) and aluminium. A Russian diesel tanker left the port of Primorsk on 23 October bound for New York, after US President Donald Trump directed the issuance of a temporary licence for Russia-related fuel activity. Kirill Dmitriev of RDIF said this may be only the tip of a broader process, with diesel and fertilisers seen as the areas most likely to move quickly. Rare earths, LNG and aluminium still face obstacles, and a USD 15 billion aluminium project in Krasnoyarsk is considered unlikely to be implemented in the short term. Economist Nikita Maslennikov says high inflation and unstable investment conditions remain major obstacles to US capital returning to Russia.
