1. Hezbollah has once again launched a large number of missiles at the Israel Defense Forces' logistics center (located between Akka and Nahariya), striking every day.

2. Important: officially adding 13 new countries to the alliance as partner countries (informal members): Algeria || Belarus || Bolivia || Cuba || Indonesia || Kazakhstan || Malaysia || Nigeria || Thailand || Turkey || Uganda || Uzbekistan || Vietnam

3. An interesting thing: Chinese researchers have revived a pig that died an hour ago using an improved life support system and a healthy liver, claiming that the liver helps produce energy molecules and protects the brain from damage. One day, gene-edited pig livers may be used to extend the resuscitation time for human patients.

4. In September, existing home sales in the U.S. fell by 3.0% to about 4.02 million units, close to the lowest level on record. Sales of both existing and new homes decreased by 1.6%, the lowest level since December 2023. However, the median home sale price in September rose by 3.9%, nearly reaching a historical high (Fig. 1).

8. Some have noticed that the yield on the U.S. #10-year Treasury bond has risen, worrying about the stock market trends and its impact on the cryptocurrency market? This reminds me of the U.S. Treasury yield rising from 1.4% to 4.2% in less than a year in 2022, causing the S&P 500 index to drop by 25%.

Don't worry too much; commodity prices, which are leading indicators for bond yields, have been trending down, signaling a decrease in U.S. Treasury yields, as historically, bond yields follow commodity price changes with about a six-month lag.

Note: If commodity prices rise, it indicates higher inflation, which will translate into higher bond yields. However, commodity prices are currently falling, and the 10-year Treasury yield should also decrease, which should alleviate pressure on the stock market.
