Three tankers carrying about 140,000 tonnes of Russian diesel are expected to reach US ports next week, the first cargoes the US has licensed for import under the deal between President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin. One of them, the Leruo, is under UK, EU and Canadian sanctions and is expected on the US East Coast on 11 November. The move is seen as aimed at easing fuel prices, with US retail diesel averaging 6.34 USD per gallon, up from 3.66 USD a year earlier. However, a group of senators from both parties has urged the president to cancel the deal, warning it may be illegal, while a law firm partner said the president has the legal authority but that a sanctioned vessel docking in the US could cause problems.

- Trump administration may let more Russian diesel onto market, energy secretary tells CNBC
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright told CNBC that the U.S. may allow more Russian diesel onto the global market depending on Moscow’s behavior. He framed the Trump administration’s suspension of sanctions on Russian diesel exports as “an incentive” for Moscow to end the war in Ukraine. Under a Trump–Putin deal, Russia would export 800,000 metric tons of diesel in October and November, followed by another million tons; the first 300,000-ton shipment equals about 75,000 barrels per day over one month, and the 500,000-ton tranche about 124,000 bpd. Analysts say these volumes are small relative to global demand of around 28 million barrels per day, so they will not materially lower prices. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several Republican senators have sharply criticized the deal.
- What President Trump wants to do with both Ukraine and Russia
President Trump said the US will do business with both Ukraine and Russia after the conflict ends, despite criticism of efforts to restore trade ties with Moscow. He argued Washington should have secured greater financial returns from the billions of dollars in aid to Kyiv under Joe Biden. The announcement came as the first Russian diesel tanker, which left the Primorsk port, was en route to New York under a supply deal announced on October 9, covering 40,000 tonnes of fuel. Moscow then eased restrictions on diesel exports, allowing production of 500,000 tonnes, which would be the first time since 2022 that Russian diesel has been shipped to the US. Trump said the deal aims to ease fuel costs before the November midterm elections, but a plan to import about 900,000 tonnes of Russian diesel has drawn criticism from European allies, Ukraine and members of Congress, who say the cargoes could evade sanctions.
- Russia ready to resume three-way talks with Ukraine and US after November 4
On 25/10, Russian presidential foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov said Russia is ready to resume three-way talks with Ukraine and the US after November 4, but does not expect much from the meeting. The statement followed remarks by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about a new round of talks expected in the first half of November, possibly in Abu Dhabi. Ushakov said a peace agreement “still needs to be finalized.” Earlier, US envoy Steve Witkoff met Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg for three hours and said discussions would continue at the technical level. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has recently criticized Zelensky strongly, threatened to cut intelligence sharing with Kyiv and loosen sanctions on Russian oil exports.
- Rubio Defends Trump Diesel Sanctions Relief as Very Wise
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called President Trump's decision to temporarily ease sanctions on Russian diesel exports 'very wise', saying it would boost global energy supply and help contain high diesel prices worldwide. The arrangement follows an Oct. 9 Trump-Putin call, under which Moscow agreed to deliver commercial diesel to international markets through 2027, and OFAC issued a general license for Russian refined diesel through April 7, 2027. On Oct. 16, Trump signed an executive order waiving mandatory penalties under the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, including 500 percent tariffs on Russian imports and 100 percent secondary duties on buyers of Russian crude oil and natural gas, just 48 hours before they were due to take effect. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha criticised the move, arguing it provides hard-currency revenue for the Kremlin's wartime budget and undermines deterrence ahead of winter.
- Tanker carrying 43,000 tonnes of Russian oil sends very good news to US
A tanker carrying nearly 43,000 tonnes of ultra-low sulphur diesel left Russia's Primorsk port on October 22 and has repeatedly signalled New York as its destination, with arrival expected on November 7. If completed, it would be the first Russian refined fuel cargo to reach the US since imports nearly stopped after the Ukraine conflict began in 2022, though the signalled destination could change. The shipment comes about two weeks after Trump and Putin agreed to return Russian diesel to international markets, as Washington seeks more supply before the November 3 midterm elections amid rising fuel prices. The US Treasury granted a special licence allowing Russian diesel into the country until April next year, and Trump said Russia would release over 300,000 tonnes immediately, about 500,000 tonnes in November and 2 million tonnes later. Critics, including some lawmakers, argue the deal could give Moscow extra revenue during the Ukraine war and question whether the released volumes are large enough to significantly lower fuel prices.
- Donald Trump, Aligning with Vladimir Putin Yet Again , Leaves Ukraine and US Relations with Europe Under Pressure
The October 9 deal between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin allows Russia to sell millions of tonnes of diesel, a major departure from US policy that runs counter to Ukrainian and European interests and contradicts a US law signed in September to authorise sanctions and tariffs on nations importing Russian oil and gas. The volume is just under six million barrels, roughly a day and a half of US diesel demand, so it is unlikely to significantly affect global diesel prices. Talks in Miami with Ukrainian and European officials ended without agreement, and those officials were reportedly blindsided by the announcement. Kyiv's strikes on Russian refineries have reportedly cut Russian refining capacity by up to 60%, and Zelensky says Ukraine will stop if Russia stops attacking its energy infrastructure. After the announcement Russia struck a Ukrainian power plant, Trump told Ukraine on October 10 to 'get a new leader', and Washington has reportedly threatened to cut intelligence sharing and block weapons sales if the strikes continue.

- Bitcoin nears $81,000 ahead of Fed decision as ZEC jumps 8%
Bitcoin rose nearly 2% to just under $81,000 in Wednesday's Asian morning session, recovering from a weekend dip to nearly $79,000 as traders awaited the Federal Reserve's rate decision. Among major cryptocurrencies, ZEC led with an 8% jump to about $1,320, HYPE gained nearly 5%, and XRP and DOGE rose roughly 3%.

Traders will watch Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's press conference for hints of a December rate hike, while a daily close above $82,500 could signal the recovery is gaining momentum.

- Robinhood’s Tenev warns US tokenization uncertainty deters ‘serious assets’
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev says uncertainty over how long US tokenization rules will last could keep investors from putting substantial assets into tokenized markets, even though the SEC has opened a temporary path through an innovation exemption. He says further rulemaking or legislation is needed to provide longer-term certainty, and Binance Research projects the tokenized equities market could reach $349 billion by 2030 under its base case, from $4.43 billion as of Sept. 15. In the third quarter, Robinhood's crypto revenue fell 55% year on year to $120 million and crypto notional trading volume fell 38% to $50 billion. By contrast, event-contract revenue rose sixfold to $173 million, and total net revenue rose 12% to a record $1.42 billion, below analyst expectations. Adjusted EPS was $0.60, missing estimates by 4 cents.
- Is Anthropic a SaaS Stock? Here's How It Stacks Up With the Other Top Software Players
Anthropic has released its S-1 filing ahead of what could be the biggest IPO ever, targeting a valuation of around $2 trillion. Although it is often called an AI lab, the company shares several traits with SaaS stocks: it sells Claude and Claude Code through monthly subscriptions and reports metrics such as customers by annual recurring revenue (ARR), with more than 11,900 customers at $10,000 or more ARR as of the end of the third quarter. Sales, marketing and partnerships took less than 20% of revenue in the first half of 2026, and the company had 5,300 employees at the end of the third quarter, far fewer than Salesforce's roughly 83,000. Based on third-quarter revenue of $16.8 billion (annualised to $67 billion), the $2 trillion valuation implies a price-to-sales ratio of around 30, close to Datadog at 25.4 and Snowflake at 21.9. The article says this looks relatively low given sequential revenue growth of nearly 50% and adjusted profitability, though the stock carries risks such as large cloud spending commitments.
