Thailand's National Security Council (NSC) met on the morning of 4 November with government agencies and experts to plan responses to the Middle East situation and cyber threats, and to protect critical infrastructure. The meeting came two days after the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) urged households to prepare emergency kits with essentials for 72 hours, based on international disaster-preparedness standards. Issues reviewed included tensions between Thailand and Cambodia, phone scam networks, the U.S.-Iran-Israel conflict and the Russia-Ukraine war. DDPM advises at least 3 liters of drinking water per person per day, or 9 liters over 72 hours, along with ready-to-eat food, medicines, power banks, flashlights, a battery radio, cash and important documents in waterproof bags.

- Fake nuclear warnings in Ukraine as Moscow, Kyiv report separate cyberattacks on emergency apps
Ukraine's Air Force said its Air Alert app was compromised by unauthorized persons, sending false nuclear and chemical threat warnings in Kyiv and other areas, and temporarily disabled push notifications. Two hours later, Russia's Ministry for Emergency Situations said its mobile app had been hit by a massive cyberattack that sent fake information, though it is unclear whether the incidents are linked. Separately, a local ceasefire in Oleshky, Kherson region, expired after allowing aid deliveries and the evacuation of hundreds of people. Zelenskyy said October was Russia's deadliest month since the invasion began, with 54,400 troops killed or badly wounded, while Ukraine liberated 96.2 square kilometers in October, 10.4 square kilometers more than Russia captured.
- What Trump losing power over Congress means for Iran, Ukraine and foreign policy
According to CNBC experts, with Democrats taking control of Congress, President Donald Trump could focus more on foreign policy in his final two years in office, while facing closer scrutiny over the wars in Iran and Ukraine. The Associated Press projects Democrats will win a Senate majority and have also taken control of the House, giving them more scope to scrutinize the administration and challenge Trump's foreign-policy agenda. Laurel Rapp of Chatham House said Democrats could use the 'power of the purse' to limit spending on U.S. military and Iran-related costs, but making such restrictions binding over a presidential veto would require enough votes to override it. J.C. Lintzenich of the German Marshall Fund said the president is not a 'lame duck' since he still holds considerable foreign-policy authority, while Congress is expected to provide more oversight, including on Ukraine funding required by law.
- Patriot missile shortage: Poland admits it cannot keep supplying Ukraine
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said Poland no longer has enough Patriot missiles to hand over to Ukraine and urged other NATO members to share their scarce supplies. He warned that the shortage of interceptors has worsened after attacks on Iran, while Russia is producing more missiles than there are interceptors to counter them. The issue sparked political controversy in Poland in July, when the opposition accused the government of sacrificing national security to arm Ukraine, while Prime Minister Donald Tusk insisted the deliveries would not weaken national defense. Relations between Poland and Ukraine have also soured over Ukraine's honoring of controversial World War II-era figures.
- Russian President Putin Agrees to Resume Three-Way Talks with Ukraine and US
Putin said he is ready to resume three-way talks among Russia, Ukraine and the US in mid-November, focusing on post-conflict security arrangements. The remarks followed a three-hour meeting in St. Petersburg with US envoy Steve Witkoff, who presented new peace proposals and suggested technical groups to address outstanding issues. The Kremlin, however, said the new proposals backed by Ukraine and European countries did not meet Moscow's expectations. Russia and the US also reached a diesel supply deal, with a first 40,000-tonne cargo, and Putin offered to mediate in the US-Iran conflict, though no summit with Trump and Xi Jinping has been agreed or announced. The talks come amid rising tensions between Trump and Zelensky, and the outlook for a deal remains unclear.
- “Your money is still safe”: Reassuring message for Russians reveals what happened to the internet system
Attacks from Ukraine on Russian data centers in October disrupted dozens of services, from taxi and food delivery to banking and email. According to NetBlocks, connectivity to Yandex Cloud fell to about 30% of normal after attacks between October 8 and 11, affecting 84 cloud services. Yandex confirmed one data center was severely damaged, another was shut down and a third was disrupted, and has not disclosed the full extent of the damage or a recovery timeline. Yandex Pay was still only partly working as of Monday, and dozens of court hearings across Russia were also disrupted by technical problems. According to T-Invariant, all three of Yandex's supercomputers are likely also heavily affected, which could leave Russia years behind in the AI race.
- Ukraine Strikes ‘Russia’s Google’, Internet Becomes New Front
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.

- Nvidia Took Back the World’s Biggest Company Title From Apple on Election Day
Nvidia rose 2.29% to $206.69 on Tuesday, giving it a market value of $4.99 trillion and returning it to the top spot ahead of Apple, which fell 1.90% to $331.90 for a $4.84 trillion valuation. Nvidia’s lead is about $149 billion, well ahead of Microsoft at $3.87 trillion and Alphabet at $3.44 trillion. The article links rising AI-driven memory prices to Apple’s margins, which Apple guided to 45% to 46% for the December quarter, versus 47.9% in the quarter just reported, with roughly one point of that quarter’s margin from tariff refunds that will not recur. Nvidia guided fiscal third-quarter revenue to $108 billion, plus or minus 2%, and reports on November 17.

- Silver price today, Wednesday, November 4, 2026: Silver prices shift as investors weigh the impact of a Democratic sweep
Silver December futures opened at $49.83 per ounce on November 4, 2026, up 0.2% from Tuesday’s open, and traded at $51.82 by 7:26 a.m. ET after Democrats swept the midterm elections and the dollar weakened. The gains were expected to be limited as investors weighed the economic impact of the shift of power on Capitol Hill. Silver was down 7.6% over one week and 19% over one month, but up 6.2% year-on-year. Hussain said the Fed was likely to stay hawkish given inflation, and because gold has become positively correlated with equities, continued weakness in tech stocks could also weigh on gold prices.
- Viking Therapeutics Trades 23% Below Its Own $35 Secondary Offering Price. Here's Why That Could Be a Gift for Patient Investors.
Viking Therapeutics (VKTX) has not yet commercialized any product, but its lead candidate VK2735 is in two phase 3 trials, one injectable and one oral. Analysts predict the weight loss drug market could approach $100 billion by the end of this decade, a space currently led by Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk. Last month, Viking completed a secondary offering of common stock and convertible senior notes that raised $575 million to fund VK2735's phase 3 development, priced at $35 per share. The stock fell after the offering amid concerns over dilution and a 16% discount to the prior day's close, and now trades about 23% below $35, under $30. The author considers the current price reasonable given the company's pipeline progress, and notes that clinical trial updates could drive the stock.
- Is Google's New Cryptocurrency Service a Reason to Buy Ethereum or Solana?
Alphabet announced on October 28 its Google Multi-Party Compute (MPC) crypto security platform, with commercial launch scheduled for early 2027, and already uses it to secure its own digital assets on Ethereum and Solana. The platform splits a wallet's private key into fragments held on separate systems and checks each transaction against an institution's rules, supporting ECDSA and Ed25519 signing. The author argues the benefit to Ethereum and Solana is minor, since safer custody does not itself create demand, and notes Ethereum ETFs saw $635 million in net outflows and Solana ETFs $24.8 million in the first seven trading days of October 2026. The article says the signals to watch in the first half of 2027 are ETF flows and bank announcements naming Google's service.
