- US Plans Unexpected Economic Boost for Russia: Europe Immediately Objects
The US is pushing to quickly restart the sale of Russian gas to Europe through the pipeline crossing Ukraine, possibly via a US intermediary, with the proceeds placed in an escrow account in a third country so Moscow cannot use them to fund the war. Washington sees this as a lever to persuade President Vladimir Putin to accept a ceasefire on energy infrastructure, and Kyiv could earn significant transit fees. However, the EU must fully end Russian gas purchases by the end of 2027, and many European leaders have said they do not want to depend on Moscow again. Before the war Russia supplied about 45% of Europe's gas, now only about 11%, while US LNG covers about 30% of demand; the Iran conflict has pushed Europe's energy spending up by about 100 billion euros (112 billion USD), and storage is about 75% full. Moscow has not yet accepted the US-backed energy-strike ceasefire effort.
- Is Australia selling its ANZAC frigate shipyard to China?
The Williamstown shipyard, the last in Victoria able to build and maintain large naval vessels and located near Port of Melbourne, is being sold to EMKC, a property fund manager partly owned by Hong Kong's EMKC Group. A company representative confirmed the purchase contract has been signed, with the value undisclosed, though the site had been listed in 2024 at an estimated AUD 200 million. The deal has raised national security concerns, as the article notes that China's national security and foreign relations law could draw interest from its intelligence agencies, and it is unclear whether the Hong Kong company holds a majority stake. The yard built all 10 ANZAC-class frigates, but most staff were laid off after its last ship was completed in 2016. The sale comes as Australia replaces ANZAC frigates with Japan's New FFM design.
- Asia stocks rise as tech gains ahead of Apple results
Most Asian stocks rose on Monday, led by technology shares, as easing oil prices supported risk appetite while investors awaited Apple's quarterly results amid concerns over heavy AI infrastructure spending. South Korea's KOSPI jumped 2.6%, with SK Hynix up 4% and Samsung Electronics up 1.5%, while Japan's Nikkei 225 pared early losses to gain 0.4%. Intel's nearly 29% plunge on Friday after a disappointing profit outlook had raised concerns about semiconductor and other AI-related earnings. Brent crude fell 2% to $111.15 a barrel and U.S. crude dropped 2.3% to $101.73 as diplomatic efforts to end the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran continued. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 bucked the trend with a 0.5% fall ahead of a Reserve Bank of Australia decision on Tuesday, where a 25 basis point hike to 4.85% is widely expected, its fifth increase this year, after inflation accelerated to 4.3% in September.
- Can SpaceX Overcome the AI Trade Sell-Off?
AI stocks have sold off as investors demand proof that huge AI infrastructure spending will pay off, with results so far mixed. SpaceX's AI sales surged 830% to $7.6 billion in the third quarter, accounting for 52% of total revenue, but capex jumped 185% to $19.6 billion, with 83% allocated to AI. Its Starlink business grew 69% to $5.2 billion, and the company expects capex of up to $40 billion this year. The stock is down about 5% from its $150 opening price and remains below its IPO price, while Alphabet fell about 10% after capex of $51.3 billion and missed sales and earnings estimates. The author considers that investor skepticism about capex could weigh on SpaceX's shares for a while.
