- Airline industry braces for years of turbulence
Airline executives told the Financial Times that fuel prices surging after the Iran war could become the new normal, forcing carriers to keep raising fares and possibly scale back growth plans or cut fleets. TAP Air Portugal's CEO Luís Rodrigues expects three to five difficult years because pricing power is limited. So far demand holds up: OAG estimates 2.3 billion bookings in the first half, up 1% year on year, even as fares rose. Executives worry that fuel-driven inflation will erode household purchasing power, and many carriers plan further fare hikes as fuel hedges expire. Abra's CEO Adrian Neuhauser said the industry could end up smaller than it otherwise would, while SunExpress's Marcus Schnabel said AI is 'not free' and must compete with aircraft purchases for capital.

- Brent crude touches $110 a barrel
Brent crude briefly touched $110 a barrel during the October 16 session for the first time since May before settling at $109.86, up 3.7%, while U.S. WTI rose 3.5% to $101.41. Prices were driven by Iran's escalating attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, where at least nine oil tankers and cargo ships have been hit since Sunday, and Houthi missile launches toward Saudi Arabia. According to U.S. Central Command, Iran sank the container ship GFS Pride, while the International Maritime Organization said this week's attacks injured three crew members and left two missing. Crude flows through Hormuz reached 9.4 million barrels per day in the week ending Wednesday, about 70% of the pre-war level, while the energy ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia quickly broke down. For the week, WTI rose more than 10% and Brent gained nearly 5%.
- Crude oil prices touch $110 a barrel
Brent settled at $109.8 a barrel on October 16, up 3.7% after briefly touching $110, its highest since May; WTI rose 3.5% to $101. Attacks across the Middle East drove the rally, with Saudi Arabia intercepting missiles fired over the Red Sea, one aimed at the Yanbu export port, and Houthi forces repeatedly striking the kingdom. In the Strait of Hormuz, at least nine tankers and cargo ships have been attacked since the previous Sunday, yet crude flows reached 9.4 million barrels a day in the week to October 14, about 70% of pre-war levels, according to Kpler. A Russia-Ukraine energy-infrastructure truce that Donald Trump sought to mediate quickly collapsed, and U.S. crude inventories fell by more than 8 million barrels as storm Isaias halted Gulf Coast production.

- Bitcoin ETFs just saw their biggest day in a month thanks entirely to BlackRock
U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs took in $526.6 million on Monday, the largest daily net inflow in nearly a month, driven entirely by BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which pulled in $665.2 million, its biggest daily inflow since Oct. 7 last year, according to SoSoValue data. Fidelity's FBTC lost $83.6 million and Grayscale's GBTC shed $54.9 million, while the remaining funds recorded no net flows. The inflow more than erased last week's $228.5 million of withdrawals, but funds remain about $90.5 million in net outflows for October, according to CoinDesk calculations. Ether funds moved the opposite way, losing $103.3 million in their fourth consecutive session of outflows, with BlackRock's ETHA accounting for $95.4 million of that.
- A Big4 bank cut deposit rates in the morning, then raised them again in the afternoon
VietinBank cut its deposit rates for terms of 6 months and longer on the morning of Oct. 20, then restored them to pre-adjustment levels by the afternoon. Its afternoon rate board showed 3.5% per year for 6 to under 12 months, 5.9% for 12 to under 24 months and 6% for 24 months and longer, versus 3%, 5.4% and 5.5% in the morning. Rates for terms under 6 months stayed unchanged, including 2.1% for 1 to under 3 months and 2.4% for 3 to under 6 months. The move came as banks followed the State Bank of Vietnam's guidance to cut deposit rates by at least 0.5 percentage points for terms of 6 months and longer, and Vietcombank and Agribank were among those reducing rates.
- IVV vs. SPY: Which S&P 500 ETF Is the Better Buy for Long-Term Investors?
The article compares two ETFs that track the S&P 500, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), which have nearly identical holdings. The main difference is the expense ratio: IVV charges 0.03% a year, one-third of SPY's 0.09%, and its distribution yield is about 1.1% versus 1% for SPY. SPY's high liquidity remains valuable for active traders. The article concludes that IVV is the better choice for long-term investors, since lower costs can compound over time.
- Warren Buffett Is Issuing a Stark Warning About the Stock Market. Here's What History Says Comes Next.
Warren Buffett has warned that investors are taking on too much risk, likening the market to 'a church with a casino attached' and saying people have never been in a more gambling mood. The article points to the S&P 500 Shiller CAPE Ratio, which has stayed above 40 since May of this year; historically, the only other time it held above that level for months was during the dot-com bubble, when it peaked around 44 before the bear market began in March 2000. The article notes that 40 is not an automatic trigger for a downturn, and no metric can predict timing. It suggests investors focus on quality stocks with solid fundamentals and be ready to hold them for at least a few years.
- Early Uber Investor Jason Calacanis Predicts Waymo Could Buy Lucid Or Rivian — Calls Its Chinese-Car Optics ‘Really Bad’
Early Uber investor Jason Calacanis predicts Waymo will buy Lucid Group (LCID) or Rivian Automotive (RIVN), arguing that its reliance on Chinese-made Zeekr vehicles creates cost and reputational problems. He says the arrangement is technically not illegal today, but Waymo would need to pay a tariff of over 100%, and it has drawn national-security concerns on Capitol Hill. According to Semafor, Waymo aims to grow its fleet from about 4,000 vehicles to 8,000 by the end of 2026 and 20,000 by the end of 2027, after closing a $5 billion term loan and a $16 billion equity raise this year. Uber has committed to buying at least 35,000 Lucid vehicles, while its Rivian deal starts with 10,000 autonomous R2 SUVs, with rides expected to begin in 2028. Calacanis, who recently bought small stakes in Lucid, Rivian, WeRide (WRD) and Pony.ai (PONY), expects consolidation in the autonomous-driving sector within 24 months.
