According to reliable sources, the US may ask NATO allies to provide additional funding this month through the PURL program to cover a shortfall of about $2 billion for approved weapons packages for Ukraine. The US continues to deliver weapons even though allies have not yet made payments, and the shortfall could worsen if deliveries increase. The move comes as allies grow increasingly reluctant to spend more amid tensions between President Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, and as European countries hesitate to fund a conflict approaching its fifth year. Separately, the US State Department recently approved a $2.1 billion sale of Patriot missiles to Ukraine, to be funded by Canada, Germany, Norway and the European Union. The Pentagon and the State Department did not respond to requests for comment.

- EU considers reducing reliance on US after Starlink disruption in Ukraine
EU countries are intensifying discussions on building independent defence capabilities and reducing reliance on the US after Starlink was disrupted in Ukraine, Bloomberg reported on 27 October. At the EU summit on 15-16 October, participants discussed the service disruptions and a new public clash between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the White House chief Donald Trump. European officials reviewed options to expand their own capabilities and diversify key technology suppliers, but implementing such plans would take years, so the bloc called for greater European participation in existing structures such as NATO. The article also cites Elon Musk's 24 October claim that Ukrainian forces used Starlink for offensive drone attacks, and Trump's 22 October statement that Ukraine's access to SpaceX's Starshield had been restored.
- Forces from 11 countries close in on Russia – Moscow reveals where Iskander struck, warns one country about “November 11 turning point”
According to Warfiles, about 2,800 personnel from 11 countries are expected to take part in the Koalicja exercise in Poland from 9 to 22 November, co-led by the UK and France, and the article stresses it is not an official NATO exercise. Poland is also boosting security near Kaliningrad after warnings of possible sabotage, while Moscow warned one country it will soon have to make a choice ahead of a “turning point” decision. In Ukraine, Russian media reported a strike that caused a large fire at a warehouse complex on the outskirts of Kyiv, described as a logistics base storing UAVs, ammunition and military equipment, with secondary explosions reported. Social media posts in Russia also claimed an Iskander missile had hit a prison in Kyiv.
- Thousands of troops from 11 countries close in on Russia, Belousov visits hotspot: Report on "right to fire on Russian soldiers"
According to The Guardian, citing sources, foreign troops deployed to Ukraine would be granted the right to fire on Russian forces in self-defense, a Western official said. Planned peacekeeping units would include only British and European personnel and would not use US technology such as Starlink. The reports came as the UK and France announced the Koalicja exercise in Poland, involving troops from 11 countries and about 2,800 NATO personnel in total. The UK government says any deployment would only take place after fighting ends and at Ukraine's request. Meanwhile, Russian Defence Minister Andrey Belousov visited the Dnepr group command in the Kherson direction, as Ukraine said Russia was preparing an offensive on the city.
- Russia faces record attack with air defenses given just “15 minutes”: Kremlin retaliates, 9 missiles fly in unexpected directions
According to Warfiles, Ukrainian drone attacks on Russia are growing in scale, and Russian air defenses intercepted and destroyed 1,214 Ukrainian UAVs in the previous day alone. Military expert Yuri Knutov said Western satellites update images for Ukrainian UAV operators every 15 minutes, forcing Russia to quickly adjust its air defense positions. Ukraine reportedly intends to raise UAV use to 2,000 per day, supported by production and assistance from the UK, Poland and Germany. In response, around 3 a.m., 9 Russian ballistic missiles were recorded heading to locations other than those Ukraine had predicted, while the southern bridge in Kyiv had only partly reopened after damage. Air Force Major General Vladimir Popov said Ukraine would struggle to use the bridge for military cargo if it remains a target.
- VZ: Russia arrests Leningrad base commander, exposing a shocking scandal - New weapons emerge, Sumy campaign begins
According to VZ, two officers linked to the Baltic Fleet, Navy Captain Alexei Suglobov, commander of the Leningrad Naval Base, and Lieutenant Colonel Alexei Ionov, were arrested on bribery charges, with Suglobov caught receiving 1.5 million rubles. Investigators allege the pair took money from businessmen in exchange for protection and for unlawfully leasing military land to companies, and the two suspects could face up to 15 years in prison. The article also says loitering munitions hit Barvenkovo for the first time after flying more than 80 km, while the Filin cruise missile is described as reaching 800 km/h with a 1,200 km range. In Sumy, according to VZ, Russian forces advanced from Mogritsa, cut supply routes to Ukrainian units in Grunovka and Velikaya Rybitsa, and shortened the distance to the city's outskirts to 13 km. Experts cited by VZ say the encirclement of Sumy has effectively begun.
- US Expert Points to Alarming Transformation of Russia's Military
According to US military analyst Michael Kofman, after four years of war in Ukraine, the Russian military has gained substantial experience and significantly improved its capacity to attack, with the ability to strike thousands of targets on Ukrainian-controlled territory. Russia has sharply increased production of ballistic and cruise missiles and drones, especially shifting to jet-powered UAVs. Published figures show roughly 7,500-8,000 attacks per month, of which about 30% are decoy drones, 30% are propeller-driven UAVs such as Geran-2 (which Ukraine says it shoots down about 90% of the time), and 40% are jet-powered UAVs (with Ukraine reporting a 60% interception rate). Kofman also argues Russia is targeting the railway system to destroy Ukraine's internal logistics in addition to cutting it off from outside supplies, while Ukrainian analysts say air defenses struggle to cope with the growing number and variety of aerial weapons.

- What Ashland (ASH) Said on Its Q4 Earnings Call
Ashland's fiscal fourth-quarter sales rose 4% to $498 million and adjusted EBITDA increased 2% to $121 million, driven by higher volumes and pricing, though weaker productivity in Specialty Additives partly offset the gains. Life Sciences and Personal Care sales rose 4% and 8%, with adjusted EBITDA margins of 35.6% and 30.1%. Specialty Additives EBITDA fell to $20 million due to lower output at the Hopewell facility. For fiscal 2027, Ashland expects sales of $1.905 billion to $1.975 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $405 million to $435 million, including foreign-exchange headwinds and capital spending of up to about $140 million. Management expects improving Hopewell output to support earnings.
- Anthropic Is 'Betting Its Entire Existence On Optimism': Michael Burry Flags Risks After AI Firm's Updated S-1, Says Won't Pursue IPO Shares
Michael Burry says Anthropic would need 'supernormal' growth to meet its contractual commitments, and he will not seek an allocation in the upcoming IPO. By his calculation, total commitments are $1.05 trillion to $1.07 trillion, above the disclosed $895.4 billion, because the figure excludes contracts tied to AMD, Google and SpaceX. To cover projected payments of $101 billion in 2027, $112 billion in 2028 and $127 billion in 2029, the company would need 11.6% sequential monthly revenue growth through 2027. Q3 sales rose 47% sequentially, slowing from 144% in Q2 and 132% in Q1. He also notes that the $120.5 billion SpaceXAI contract is outside the S-1 obligation tables, so near-term spending over 12 months could exceed $100.8 billion rather than the reported $69.8 billion.
- Why Rocket Lab Stock Plunged 15% in October and Why Its Decline Might Be Short-Lived
Rocket Lab shares fell 21.5% in October, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence, while the S&P 500 dipped 0.9%. The decline followed an Oct. 14 announcement that the inaugural launch of the partially reusable Neutron rocket, scheduled for later this year, was pushed into 2027 after a manufacturing issue created voids between carbon fiber layers in the propellant dome. The company said the issue has been corrected and a dome made with a different process has passed inspection, and on Oct. 28 it said Neutron's Stage 2 and Thrust Modules had arrived at the Virginia launch complex. The article notes the timing of the first flight remains uncertain, as the original 2024 target had been pushed back several times. Rocket Lab also plans to acquire Iridium Communications and recently announced its 99th successful Electron launch.
- Vietnam adds 2.5 million securities accounts since the start of the year

In October, domestic accounts rose by more than 252,000, 7,000 more than the previous month, mainly from individuals, while institutions added only 185; year to date, domestic accounts have grown by more than 2.5 million. Amid strong volatility, VN-Index briefly fell below 1,680 before closing the month above 1,740, down 1.5%. Foreign investors net sold more than VND 24,000 billion on HoSE in October, bringing year-to-date net selling to VND 122,000 billion, close to last year's record, and extending net selling to 10 consecutive months despite Vietnam's upgrade to emerging market status. Foreign investor accounts rose by 191 in October, to a total of 53,088.
- Transformation capacity: a prerequisite for Vietnam to escape the middle-income trap
The article argues that escaping the middle-income trap requires a qualitative transformation of the economy, not just faster growth. Now that Vietnam has entered the upper-middle-income group, earlier advantages such as low costs and easy integration into regional supply chains may no longer sustain long-term development. According to the article, productivity, technology, human resource quality, innovation capacity and firms' competitiveness will determine the ability to create new value. It stresses that transformation capacity, meaning the ability to proactively change the growth foundation, is key, and that the gap between recognising the need for change and actually implementing it is a major obstacle.
- Update on billion-dollar FTSE fund flows into 27 Vietnamese stocks: A key milestone is approaching
Mirae Asset estimates passive inflows from FTSE index-tracking funds into Vietnam could reach about $2,098.5 million once allocations are complete, with FTSE Global All Cap funds contributing nearly $1.19 billion. The December 2026 quarterly review is expected to leave the 27 Vietnamese stocks unchanged, with changes mainly from weight adjustments. The March and June 2027 tranches could together correspond to about $1.15 billion within a four-stage schedule ending in September 2027, which Mirae Asset considers more notable. VIC of Vingroup is projected to receive the most, $655 million (over 31% of the total), about 3.6 times the $181 million expected for VHM. Share price movements through March 2027 could materially change the size and composition of these flows.
