Registered Agents Inc data show more than 560,000 new US business formations in September 2026, the highest September on record and the first time a September total topped 500,000, with 44 of 51 tracked jurisdictions reporting year-over-year increases.

- Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Shares Climb Nearly 4 % as Weak Jobs Data Cools Rate Hike Bets Ahead of AGM
Bendigo and Adelaide Bank shares rose nearly 4% on Thursday, closing up 39 Australian cents, or 3.81%, at 10.62 dollars on volume above 3 million shares. The gain followed weaker-than-expected September employment figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, including a sharp drop in part-time jobs, which led traders to scale back bets on another Reserve Bank of Australia rate increase after four hikes this year. Rival Bank of Queensland jumped more than 5% on its full-year results, lifting regional lenders, though Bendigo has still fallen about 17% over the past year. In August the bank reported full-year cash earnings up 3% to 530 million dollars and a net interest margin of 1.98%. Its annual general meeting is expected later this month.

- ‘The Major Ones All End Badly’: Pulitzer-Winning Crash Historian on US Stocks at 250% of GDP
Pulitzer-winning historian Liaquat Ahamed warns that US equities, including private equity, sit at 250% of GDP after a trillion dollars flowed in from foreigners over the past 12 months, and that such booms usually end badly once rising rates choke off cheap financing. He points to a 150-basis-point rise in real rates, with the 10-year Treasury yield at 5.19% on October 14, 2026, and compares today's AI spending with the 1873 railroad bubble, which was financed largely by bonds. The article highlights NVIDIA, with a $5.2 trillion market cap, whose 2.32% earnings yield trails the 5.09% yield on the 10-year Treasury.
- LODE GOLD COMPLETES FIRST SIX HOLES OF EXPANDED 20-HOLE DRILL PROGRAM AT FREMONT GOLD MINE
Lode Gold Resources has completed the first six of 20 holes in its expanded drilling campaign at the Fremont Gold Mine in Mariposa County, California, which represent half of a planned 12-hole metallurgical program. The company has added ten holes, bringing the program to 4,200 meters, and samples from the first two holes have been sent to the lab while it awaits assay results. Each hole yields PQ-diameter core, with one quarter sent for gold assay and another quarter reserved for metallurgical testing, and target depths range from about 105 to 171 metres. The company expects further drilling and news from Q4 2026 through Q1 2027, including hydrogeological holes and step-out exploration in untested zones.

- Anthropic is AI trade's last big hope for a major IPO this year
Investors had expected a wave of major 2026 IPOs from SpaceX, Anthropic and OpenAI, but several offerings have been postponed and OpenAI has ruled out listing this year. On prediction market Kalshi, Anthropic, which confidentially filed a prospectus with the SEC in early June, is the only major company with better-than-even odds (75% as of Monday morning) of officially announcing an IPO this year. Odds for others have fallen sharply, such as Plaid (from 50% to 10%) and Databricks (from over 50% to 1%). Although IPO proceeds are up thanks to megacap debuts like SpaceX, the number of U.S. IPOs priced this year is down 33% from 2025, according to Renaissance Capital. Anthropic's third-quarter revenue of $16.8 billion showed slower growth, and a revised IPO valuation range starting at $1.5T, instead of the earlier expected at least $2T, was viewed as disappointing.

- Russia fires mysterious weapon at Kyiv, shockwaves spread; President Putin appears in rare image, drawing global attention
On the night of 18 Oct, Russia launched a coordinated strike on multiple Ukrainian targets using ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and Geran UAVs, focused on Kyiv. According to TST, around 10 ballistic missiles of the Iskander-M, S-400 or KN-23 types may have been used in the first wave; an above-ground metro station on Kyiv's left bank was reported damaged, disrupting rail and metro services, and videos of blue flashes led observers to suspect a new weapon. In western Ukraine, a 330 kV transformer station near Kovel may have been targeted. Meanwhile, Putin, who rarely appears in military uniform, visited a command post and stressed establishing a “security zone” along the border; blogger Yuri Podolyaka argued Moscow no longer treats these areas as bargaining chips. Front-line correspondent Alexander Kots said the part of Donetsk still controlled by Ukraine is just over 2,700 km².
