The Value of a business is the sum of all the problems solved

Ramblings in todays newsletter:

Here’s your Global News Rundown: Oct 9 – Oct 14, 2025 tight, punchy, and with just enough sass to keep you awake.

Well, guess what, peace might finally be trending. Israel and Hamas actually shook hands (metaphorically, of course, nobody’s that friendly yet). A ceasefire deal is in place, and Hamas released the last 20 surviving Israeli hostages. In return, Israel freed nearly two thousand Palestinian prisoners. And to seal it with a global group hug, world leaders gathered in Sharm El Sheikh and signed something called the “Trump Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity.” Grand name, uncertain shelf life. Still, optimism gets a gold star this week.

Meanwhile, the IMF decided to play the nice guy for once, they’ve upgraded the world’s 2025 growth forecast to 3.2%. Apparently, tariffs aren’t biting as hard as everyone feared. But before you pop champagne, the G20’s Financial Stability Board is warning that we’re all dancing on the edge of a financial cliff, overpriced assets, rising debt, and way too many “this time it’s different” vibes.

The WHO, in its never-ending quest to keep us all alive, rolled out its upgraded global health monitoring system, “EIOS 2.0”, now with more AI, more data sources, and yes, more reasons for conspiracy theorists to lose sleep. But if it helps detect outbreaks faster, bring on the algorithms.

Antarctica threw us a pleasant curveball: recent research suggests mass gain in parts of the ice sheet, thanks to heavier precipitation and sea-ice dynamics. In other words, some regions are (temporarily) reversing ice loss.

So that’s where we are: peace deals inked, markets twitchy, ice cores whispering secrets, and AI listening to the world sneeze. Same planet, slightly better vibes.

Market Watch

Give your day-trading pals a big ol' bear hug this weekend, they probably need it after this weeks rollercoaster ride. The stock market took a nosedive, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq doing their best impression of a lead balloon, marking their worst drop since Trump decided to play tariff tag back in April. The trade war's back in the spotlight, with Trump threatening to slap new tariffs on Chinese goods after China decided to play hardball with rare earth minerals. Tech stocks, like Nvidia, got caught in the crossfire and are now nursing their wounds. So, maybe bring some tissues and a pint of ice cream to your next hangout.
