Since October 8, Ukrainian attacks have damaged 3 of 5 major data centers in Yandex's system, the Russian tech firm behind search, maps, cloud computing, ride-hailing and food delivery. The outages have disrupted millions of users across Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus, with drivers unable to withdraw their earnings and a Moscow resident finding her 1.5 million rubles (about 17,830 USD) in savings no longer showing in her Yandex Pay account. Yandex says customer funds are safe and it is working to restore services. Kyiv says the strikes retaliate for Russian attacks on Ukrainian data centers in September, and the article argues that digital infrastructure has become a new front in the conflict. Meanwhile, the Kremlin has told private companies to protect their critical infrastructure from drones themselves.

- Washington-Kyiv rift leaves Ukraine peace facing a new test
U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky while Washington eases some energy sanctions on Russia, deepening public disagreements as the sides seek to restart peace talks before winter. On Oct. 19, Trump again suggested Ukraine send someone else to negotiate, the second time in just over a week, after raising on Oct. 10 the idea that Ukraine needs a new president to reach a deal. He argues Kyiv's strikes on Russian refineries push up global fuel prices, while Zelensky warns that easing sanctions on Russian fuel could reduce Moscow's incentive to end the conflict. The fuel move was announced during a Miami meeting of U.S., Ukrainian and European negotiators on Oct. 9, as energy prices remain high ahead of the U.S. midterm elections on Nov. 3. Some U.S. lawmakers have also opposed easing the sanctions.
- Trump reveals key details of possible three-way US-Russia-China meeting
U.S. President Donald Trump said he is ready to attend a three-way meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, with nuclear weapons and denuclearization on the agenda, possibly linked to his November visit to China. No date or agenda has been agreed yet. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov welcomed U.S. mediation efforts but stressed that Ukraine must take part in any final peace deal, while Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha argued that such a meeting would only prolong the conflict. Positions on peace terms remain far apart, and Russia questions Zelensky's authority to sign, claiming his term ended in May 2024.
- European Commission rejects US peace plan on transit of Russian gas through Ukraine
The European Commission said it will not lift restrictions on Russia until the war ends, rejecting a US proposal to restore Russian gas transit through Ukraine as part of a peace deal, according to spokesperson Paula Pinho. According to negotiations, US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner floated the idea to Ukrainian and European officials, including President Zelensky, with Russia gaining export revenue and Ukraine earning money from gas flowing through its territory. Germany reacted especially strongly, fearing a return to dependence on Russian energy. The US also discussed letting American investors take part in supply, including Nord Stream projects, and could receive part of the profits from Russian gas exports.
- Brig. Gen. E. John Teichert Tells Why There Is One Way This War Stops Between Russia and Ukraine
Retired Brigadier General John Teichert of the U.S. Air Force discusses the Russia-Ukraine war with host Guy Benson. He argues that Putin started the war five years ago, has continued it, and is the only one who can stop it, which will happen only when he concludes it is too costly. Teichert says Russia has struck Ukrainian civilian targets almost daily, kidnapped tens of thousands of Ukrainian children, and provided intelligence to Iran that was used to kill Americans. He notes that Ukraine provided drone and counter-drone capabilities to the U.S. and its Middle East partners and has gained territory on net over the past year, pushing Russia toward economic collapse. He warns that economic lifelines such as the diesel deal or expecting Ukraine to abide by a one-sided ceasefire give Putin room to continue the war.

- An AI bust could come from places investors arent watching , an economist says
Concerns about an AI bubble are growing, and TS Lombard's Dario Perkins warns that investors may be overlooking other risks. Debt among smaller cloud providers, model developers and suppliers could reach $2 trillion by the end of 2027. Perkins does not see this as a systemic risk, but warns that earnings disappointments and canceled orders could ripple through the ecosystem, and that a chip glut could follow over-ordering. Much of the industry's revenue growth still comes from spending within the AI ecosystem rather than from businesses and consumers outside it. He also flags political backlash, noting that ordinary people dislike AI and nearby datacenters, and warns that one high-profile accident could turn AI toxic.
- Yen jumps after JGB auction draws big demand , euro finds relief
The yen rose 0.2% to 158.15 per dollar in Asian trading after a 20-year Japanese government bond auction drew bids of 5.84 times the amount sold, well above the 4.01 times at the previous auction, and the yield fell 6 basis points to 3.71%. A State Street strategist said the record demand suggests sidelined cash is returning and that JGBs are becoming a relative haven from political and fiscal volatility in Europe, particularly France. Anti-government protests in France prompted curfews in several cities, while Italy said it would send 500 troops after two days of unrest, and the euro rallied 0.2% to $1.1234. Elsewhere, bitcoin slipped 0.3% to $81,674.25 and ether edged down 0.2% to $2,393.21.
- Unemployment rate dips to 4 . 7 % - but vacancies hit five - year low
Vacancies fell by 21,000 to 691,000 in the three months to September, the biggest drop since the three months to March and the lowest since July to September 2014 outside the pandemic, while unemployment dipped in the three months to August. Payroll numbers were down 66,000 over the year to September. The ONS said the fall was mainly among smaller firms struggling with higher labour costs, following rises in employer national insurance, the minimum wage and workers' rights. A CBI survey found labour costs and regulations were making it harder to create jobs, and firms urged the Chancellor not to add to their burden in the October 28 Budget. ICAEW's Suren Thiru said the labour market is 'running on idle' and unemployment could climb above 5 per cent, while Shadow Chancellor Andrew Griffith blamed Labour's 'Jobs Tax' and red tape.
- CNBC Daily Open: Tech rebounds in the U.S., but Asia isn’t buying it yet
U.S. tech stocks rebounded as the Nasdaq Composite rose more than 1% on Monday, with Nvidia up 1.4% and Tesla up 3.8%. In Asia, however, tech shares fell on Tuesday, with South Korea's Kospi down over 4% and Japan's Nikkei 225 down 1.6%. Nvidia also unveiled plans to back four German AI startups as part of its nearly $10 billion European investment commitment. Jenny Lee of Granite Asia said Asian companies are reaching IPOs much sooner, often at four to five years old, while Jio Platforms' Indian IPO saw its anchor investor quota oversubscribed more than 30 times, aiming to raise up to 302 billion rupees ($3.2 billion). In Singapore, several agricultural stocks fell after Senior Minister K Shanmugam warned that companies would not escape responsibility for possible roles in the haze, noting seven firms had been questioned by the Singapore Exchange.
- NiSource (NI) Stock Looks Overvalued Against Its Dividend Outlook
NiSource has nearly doubled shareholders' money over the past five years, delivering a 97.6% total return, which raises the question of whether dividends can justify the current share price. The article highlights a new 20-year energy agreement with Microsoft, including customer-funded grid upgrades and long-term electric service for data centers, which may affect future capital needs and cash-flow visibility. Using a Dividend Discount Model with inputs of about $1.35 dividend per share, roughly 9.07% return on equity, a payout ratio slightly above 61%, and implied dividend growth of about 3.5%, the estimated intrinsic value sits meaningfully below the current share price of $41.95. The model still does not bridge that gap, suggesting income investors are paying a premium for a relatively steady payout with modest assumed growth.
