- Capitalist economic crisis spills onto the streets of France
This Independent Australia opinion piece argues that protests in France over fuel prices, living costs, education and budget cuts of 54 billion are part of a wider crisis spreading to Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Greece and South America. It notes that the IMF has called for cuts to public spending and cites a global debt-to-GDP ratio of 95.3%, rising to 108.2% for the most advanced economies. The author links rising long-term interest rates, AI investment and a world military budget set to reach $3 trillion this year to a cycle of debt and war financing. The article stresses that global debt exceeds $365 trillion and grows by about $10 trillion a year.
- Bulgaria Votes for President as Concerns Grow over Black Sea Attacks
Bulgarians vote in a presidential election on Sunday, with President Iliana Iotova, 62, leading polls with an expected 41–47% of the vote; she opposes military aid to Ukraine and favours dialogue with Moscow. Her main challenger, Andrey Gyurov, a former caretaker prime minister backed by the pro-Western opposition, is polling at 28–31%, while Kostadin Kostadinov of the pro-Russian far-right Vazrazhdane party is third on 10–13%. If she wins the runoff set for November 1, Iotova would be the first woman ever elected president of the country of 6.4 million people. The vote comes as four vessels were struck off Bulgaria's coast this month, leaving 21 people missing, though the government says there is so far no evidence directly linking Moscow to the attacks.
- CBN Grants JPMorgan Preliminary Licence for Nigeria Merchant Bank
The Central Bank of Nigeria has granted JPMorgan approval in principle to set up a merchant banking unit in the country, after the US financial group deposited $38 million as part of the licensing process.

- Bitcoin price today: BTC recovers to $80,800 ahead of Fed meeting
Bitcoin recovered to around $80,800 on Sunday after a sharp weekend selloff, as investors weighed heavy crypto liquidations ahead of the Federal Reserve's October 27–28 rate decision. More than $810 million in positions were liquidated over 24 hours, about $689 million of them bullish bets, and thin weekend liquidity intensified the selling. Bitcoin had dropped to $79,146 on Saturday, its weakest level in over a month, before reclaiming $80,000. With Brent crude above $117 amid the Iran war, inflation concerns persist, and higher rates could strengthen the dollar and weigh on riskier assets. Separately, Strategy spent $193 million repurchasing preferred shares while acquiring just 267 Bitcoin.
- Government explains proposal to fine violations up to VND 3 billion
The Government has explained its proposal to raise the maximum administrative fine for organizations to VND 3 billion, amid concerns that the level is too high and hard to enforce. The draft amended Law on Handling Administrative Violations would lift the cap for individuals from VND 1 billion to VND 1.5 billion and for organizations from VND 2 billion to VND 3 billion, and also raise caps in some sectors. Some commenters warn that fines beyond the financial capacity of many individuals and small and medium enterprises could prompt evasion and weaken enforcement. The Government says the increase aims to keep pace with base salary growth and per capita income, and to strengthen deterrence in areas such as environmental protection, food safety, product quality, fire prevention and healthcare. It will also study temporary revocation of licenses and practising certificates, temporary suspension of operations, and confiscation of exhibits and vehicles used in violations.
- 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.
