- Stock Market: Will S&P 500 Open Up or Down Today?
U.S. stock futures were trending higher early Monday as the week opened with a slate of mega-cap tech earnings and central bank policy decisions. Cooling crude oil prices, after President Donald Trump ruled out an immediate strike on Iran, supported the move.
- Trump Says Only 'One or Two Targets' Left in Iran, Could Be Handled in 10 Minutes
U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. military has largely disabled Iran's military capabilities and nuclear program, but one or two sites remain, including the Pickaxe Mountain area, which could be handled within 10 minutes, so the U.S. will not rush into new strikes. Trump said negotiations to end the war that began in February are going smoothly, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio said no decision has been made on new strikes and the U.S. remains open to diplomacy. Tehran warned it would retaliate if attacked, and Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei ordered commanders to update Iran's target list, which includes U.S. and Israeli assets. Qatar and Pakistan are acting as intermediaries, and Vice President JD Vance sent a letter to Mohsen Rezaei, but Iran says it will keep the Strait of Hormuz blockaded until its conditions, including release of frozen assets, are met.
- Despite stalled talks, Trump yet to decide on new Iran strike
On October 31, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said President Donald Trump has not yet decided whether to strike Iran again, amid reports the U.S. could resume attacks after the November 3 midterm elections. Rubio accused Iran of openly and deliberately targeting commercial vessels, while stressing that Trump prefers a diplomatic solution, and declined to comment on negotiations or give a timeline for a deal. Iranian negotiators are meeting Qatari mediators in Doha; Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran has reviewed a letter from U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance and called it a “positive step.” According to Reuters, Iranian officials reportedly dislike Qatar's seven-day plan and have proposed their own: the U.S. would lift its blockade of Iranian ports, release frozen assets and approve an Iran-backed shipping arrangement through the Strait of Hormuz. Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei warned the U.S. and Israel not to carry out further attacks and ordered the armed forces to be ready to respond immediately.
- Are the US and Israel preparing a week-long air strike campaign against Iran?
Gulf News, citing Axios, reports that the US and Israel are preparing a possible week-long air campaign against Iran after the US midterm elections on 3/11, which could target Iranian leaders, nuclear facilities, energy hubs and critical infrastructure. Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir discussed preparations with CENTCOM commander Adm. Brad Cooper on 26/10. Meanwhile, Qatar-led regional mediators are pushing to resume talks, and Vice President JD Vance sent a letter via them to Mohsen Rezaei, stressing the nuclear program as a central issue. According to one source, Trump and Vance also discussed goodwill gestures such as humanitarian aid. The White House and CENTCOM have not commented.
- Trump Reveals Why the US Sent a Letter to Iran's Leaders
President Donald Trump denied directing Vice President JD Vance to send a letter to Iran to explore resuming peace talks, saying Vance proposed it to offer medical supplies. The Wall Street Journal, citing a source, reported the letter was sent on Trump's instructions and aimed to persuade Trump against a sudden, large-scale strike on Iran. Iran's Tasnim news agency said Tehran received the letter but has not responded, and repeated conditions including lifting the US naval blockade of Iranian ports and ending sanctions on its oil exports. A senior Iranian official said proposals from Qatar were unacceptable, while US military options remain under consideration after Admiral Brad Cooper briefed Trump at the White House.
- Uh-Oh! A New Inflation Forecast Suggests Trumpflation Is Evolving and Worsening.
The article argues that tariffs and the Iran war are pushing inflation higher, after the Consumer Price Index hit 4.2% in May, a three-year high, though headline inflation has since eased from that peak. A New York Fed report cited in the piece says tariffs had added 2.9 percentage points to goods price inflation by February 2026, and a 10% across-the-board tariff would lift consumer goods prices by 2.6% after one year. The Cleveland Fed’s October headline inflation forecast edged down to 3.75% from 3.77%, but forecasts put Core PCE, the Fed’s preferred gauge, at 3.05% in September and 3.13% in October. The author argues that Iran-war-driven costs, from altered shipping routes to higher costs for petroleum-based products, are spreading into the broader economy, and that if Trumpflation becomes entrenched, the Fed could raise rates more aggressively, a risk for a historically expensive stock market.

- EU Commissioner “Pressures” a European Country: Joining the Bloc Requires Sanctions on Russia
EU Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos said Serbia would need to impose sanctions on Russia to eventually join the EU, adding that membership would likely be impossible without strategic alignment on foreign and security policy, especially over Ukraine. Her remarks came days after the opposition Student List movement won 52.5% of the vote in snap parliamentary elections, defeating former president Aleksandar Vucic, and Kos noted that EU negotiations with the new government have not yet begun. Movement figures have not clearly stated their position on Russia sanctions, while Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow hopes to maintain mutually beneficial ties with Serbia. The EU has adopted 22 sanctions packages against Russia since February 2022.
- Is Alphabet's Massive AI Spending a Problem? The CFO Just Revealed Everything Investors Need to Know in a Single Sentence.
Alphabet is spending more cash than it generates: capital expenditures reached $51.4 billion last quarter, mostly for AI compute, and could keep rising in the fourth quarter and in 2027. The company raised $40 billion last quarter alone, fueling investor worries about overextension, and shares fell after its third-quarter earnings release. CFO Anat Ashkenazi said Alphabet expects ROIC to stay meaningfully above its cost of capital throughout the investment cycle, supported by its vertically integrated AI stack. Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian said server spending (about 65% of capex) pays back in under two years, and TPU systems in half that time, compared with nearly three years for Amazon. Analysts' average forecast sees free cash flow rising from about $50 billion to more than $300 billion by 2031, though it may drop more sharply in 2027.
