• EU energy measures fall short of tackling high prices, warns Cypriot expert

  Energy systems expert Andreas Poullikkas, former chairman of the Cyprus Energy Regulatory Authority (CERA), says EU leaders correctly identified high energy prices as a threat, but their proposed response, after the October 15-16 summit, remains inadequate. He argues Europe needs structural investment in grids, interconnections and energy storage, since temporary support may not change the underlying cost structure. Carbon allowances approached €88 per tonne in early October 2026 and stayed above €85 mid-month, feeding directly into electricity bills. He also notes the summit set no quantitative targets, funding or timetable for grid infrastructure, and that household protection under ETS2 needs to be more explicit and funded.

• EU Backs Greek Push to Ease Budget Rules Over Energy Crisis, Mitsotakis Says

  Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said EU leaders at the summit that ended Friday backed Greece's proposal to temporarily relax budget rules, so countries with surpluses can help households and businesses through the energy crisis, and asked the European Commission to bring forward proposals quickly. At home, Greece will subsidise heating oil by 40 euro cents a liter, cutting its price from 1.95 euros to 1.55 euros, and raise heating allowances by 30%, covering nearly 1.2 million households. Pump prices will fall by 20 cents a liter for diesel and 10 cents for gasoline through Oct. 31, and fuel subsidies for fishermen will more than double. Lawmakers are set to vote Thursday on a bill barring children under 15 from social media starting Jan. 1, 2027, with platforms required to verify users' ages.

• Russia issues stark warning: 'Europe has no other choice'

  Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak warned that Europe will struggle to fully make up for lost gas supply if it keeps cutting Russian volumes, amid instability in the Strait of Hormuz and disrupted production at a Qatari LNG facility that halted after attacks in March. He said the EU's LNG import ban, effective January 1, 2027, makes little sense while supply is tight, and that European consumers would bear the consequences. Novak estimated European gas reserves are about 10% below the average of previous years, and Reuters forecasts storage will reach only about 75–78% of capacity by November, well below the five-year average. Still, Russia supplied about 12 million tonnes of LNG to Europe in the first nine months of 2026, higher than a year earlier, as European buyers rush to purchase and stockpile before the ban. The EU has adopted a roadmap to end Russian gas imports, banning long-term LNG contracts from January 1, 2027 and phasing out pipeline gas during 2027.

• Exarchou warns of energy ... dark age , uncontrolled inflation , and shock shortages , EU interventions and subsidies needed

  Aktor CEO Alexandros Exarchou warns that Europe faces an energy 'crisis' this winter, with risks of uncontrollable inflation and sudden shortages, and urges governments to act now. He calls for further electricity price subsidies and sharp cuts to gas transit tariffs, and says EU claims that gas supply is stable 'do not correspond to reality'. He criticizes the European Commission's call to curb energy demand as 'naive and foolish', while the Mediterranean LNG price stood at 27.775 dollars per MMBtu on October 15, up 173% from the same period of 2025. Exarchou argues Europe should sign longer-term LNG deals with US suppliers, which already accounted for about 60.7% of EU LNG imports in the first nine months of 2026, and notes that Aktor's Atlantic SEE joint venture has a 20-year deal for 1 million metric tons a year from 2030 but has not yet secured extra short-term volumes.

• Musk's wants to merge SpaceX and Tesla: Here's what to know

  Musk said SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees to study a merger, which would be worth about $3.5 trillion combined and would be the largest corporate deal in history. SpaceX, valued at about $2 trillion after a record listing this year, absorbed Musk's AI startup xAI in February, while Tesla is valued at about $1.5 trillion. Musk holds about 82 percent of SpaceX's voting power but only about 20 percent at Tesla. Dan Ives puts the odds of a deal at 90 percent by early 2027, though Musk called the requirement of a majority of all Tesla shares 'quite a high hurdle'. Loyal retail investors hold an estimated 25 to 27 percent of Tesla shares, and legal obstacles appear slight because both companies moved their incorporation to Texas from Delaware.

• CoreWeave and Nebius Stocks Are Crashing. Time to Buy the Dip?

  Shares of Nebius and CoreWeave each fell 25% in the week of October 12 to 16. The sell-off stems from the yield on CoreWeave's debt in the secondary market surging to 15%, versus roughly 5% on Treasuries, which pushes the debt into 'distressed' territory and signals doubts about its ability to meet obligations. Nebius sold off in sympathy as a fellow neocloud company. The bigger concern is that both companies must keep issuing debt to fund data centers, and if yields are high at issuance, the assumption of nearly unlimited cheap capital could be challenged. The author says it is unclear whether now is the time to buy.

• Disney’s multiplatform Super Bowl plan frustrates ABC affiliates

  ABC station owners are irritated that Disney is airing the Super Bowl across several platforms, including Disney+, ESPN2, NFL Network and ESPNU, even though the game is already on ABC and ESPN. A station group CEO estimates that the combined platforms could cut broadcast ad revenue by up to 35% compared with last year. Local affiliates typically earn about 3% of annual ad revenue from the Super Bowl and pay network owners reverse retransmission fees, but Disney+ lacks geofenced ad insertion, so affiliates cannot sell ads to streaming viewers. Disney says national commercials will be identical on all platforms and that streaming major live events is standard industry practice. Super Bowl LX drew 125.6 million viewers in February.

• Meta’s deal to keep Zuckerberg in California adds fuel to wealth tax debate ahead of election

  Meta says Mark Zuckerberg will remain in California for eight years and has created a new stock plan that could help cover his taxes if Proposition 40, a 5% tax on Californians worth over $1 billion, passes on Election Day on Nov. 3. According to a filing released with its third-quarter earnings, Meta will issue non-voting Class C shares starting in January, and Zuckerberg can sell or transfer up to 20% of the shares granted to him without affecting his majority voting control. The filing says Zuckerberg’s leadership is crucial to the company’s growth and its AI ambitions, including Meta Superintelligence Labs. Most of the tech industry opposes the measure, while a recent Citrin-Politico poll found 46% in favor and 43% against, suggesting it may fall short of the majority support it needs.

• Nasdaq sell-off: A momentum unwind 'for the record books'

  Matt Stucky, chief portfolio manager for equities at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management, calls Thursday’s sell-off in the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) a momentum unwind “for the record books.” He says the market spent the first half of 2026 driven by a beta and momentum trade led by semiconductors, but in the third quarter, as rates rose, money shifted into quality stocks. He does not think the sell-off is justified by fundamentals, arguing that institutional portfolio managers swapping out of factor positions can drag down whole baskets of stocks. In semiconductors, spot rental rates for Nvidia Blackwell chips are higher than a month ago, showing tightening compute supply, even as financing costs rise and investors worry about neocloud business models and the rising cost of insuring their bonds.

• Dune launches real-time data feeds covering 200 onchain trading venues

  Blockchain analytics platform Dune has launched real-time market data feeds covering more than 200 onchain trading venues, aiming to bring this data into the systems of traditional financial institutions. The feeds draw trade data from 12 blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana and Base, about one second after execution, covering both spot trading on decentralized exchanges and perpetual futures on Hyperliquid and Lighter. Early clients include quant funds, market makers, asset managers and bank trading desks, which use the data to assess liquidity and compare prices, though Dune did not name them. Meanwhile, the tokenized stock market has grown sharply, with distributed value reaching $3.58 billion, but 16 companies, including Microsoft, Alphabet and Goldman Sachs, have objected to their shares being traded on OKXICE’s proposed platform, and liquidity remains fragmented.
