She said Vietnam is implementing its 2026-2030 anti-trafficking program and the 2024 Law on Prevention and Combating Human Trafficking, with stronger investigation, prosecution, trials and victim identification and support. Vietnam has also recently issued a plan to implement the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) for 2026-2035 to address trafficking risks in international migration.

- US tariff waiver on Russian crude a comforting relief , but trade uncertainties persist : CareEdge Chief Economist Rajani Sinha
According to Rajani Sinha, Chief Economist at CareEdge, President Donald Trump's waiver of sanctions provisions under the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, which could have imposed tariffs of up to 100% on goods from the five largest buyers of Russian crude or gas, including India and China, gives India macroeconomic breathing room, though the relief may be temporary. She says markets viewed the tariff threat mainly as a negotiating technique, and India needs a comprehensive bilateral trade deal with Washington. Russia supplies over 30% of India's crude imports, but its discount has narrowed, with Russian crude trading near $117 per barrel versus Brent around $120. She projects the current account deficit at 0.8% to 1.2% of GDP and average headline inflation around 5% for the fiscal year, though crude prices staying above $100 per barrel could pose upside risks. She attributes the rupee's recent depreciation mainly to global sentiment and foreign capital flows, and sees the IDBI Bank stake sale as a positive step toward budget targets.
- Not going to prejudge : Fed Chair keeps rate outlook open ; calls AI positive supply shock
Fed Chair Kevin Warsh declined to signal the central bank's next interest-rate move, saying he would not "prejudge" policy decisions. Speaking in a fireside chat at the 2026 IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings, he described AI as a "positive supply shock" over the medium term, noting that AI is hitting demand before it hits supply and that the US is seeing a massive investment surge. Markets broadly expect the Fed to hold rates at its October 27-28 meeting, while some brokerages see a possible December hike. The Fed will hold the first field hearing of its AI task force on November 16.
- Not going to prejudge: Fed Chair keeps rate outlook open; calls AI positive supply shock
Fed Chair Kevin Warsh declined to signal the central bank's next interest-rate move, saying he would not 'prejudge' policy decisions. Speaking at the IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings, he called artificial intelligence a 'positive supply shock' for the economy over the medium term, though it is hitting demand first. He said the US is seeing a massive surge in investment, a trend not equally visible across countries, which challenges the 'secular stagnation' theory. Some brokerages expect a possible rate hike in December, while markets broadly anticipate no change at the October 27-28 meeting. The Fed will reassess conditions at its October and December meetings, and its first field hearing of a task force is set for November 16.

The plan starts with open-pit mining in 2028-2030 before moving underground, with underground ore supplying all mill feed from 2031. The company stresses that no production decision has been made, as it depends on a feasibility study, financing and permitting.

- UPS Yields 6.7% After Firing Amazon. Here's Whether the Dividend Survives 2027.
UPS shares yield 6.7% as of October 16. The company has moved away from high-volume, low-margin Amazon deliveries and froze its dividend earlier this year, ending a 16-year streak of increases. The article says the payout will likely remain frozen through 2026 and 2027, citing competition from 10- and 30-year Treasury yields above 5% and other industrial dividend payers, but calls the dividend's safety questionable: UPS generated $5.47 billion in free cash flow in 2025, with $5.4 billion going to dividends, and free cash flow is projected to fall to $5.05 billion in 2026 and $5.01 billion in 2027, with the dividend absorbing about 98% of 2026 free cash flow. Rising competition and high fuel prices add pressure, and the article suggests investors may find more safety in the industrial sector.

- What Could X-Energy (XE) Gain From Its 960MW Indiana Nuclear Project?
X-Energy (NasdaqGS:XE), American Electric Power and Amazon agreed to assess a 960 MW advanced nuclear project in Indiana using Xe-100 reactors, on a former coal plant site.

The next key milestone is whether the study reaches a final investment decision for the Sullivan County site.
