Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.

On today's podcast:

(1) The artificial intelligence trade stayed on the back foot as investors rotated out of one of the year’s hottest themes and sought safety in bonds. Adding to the pressure, crude oil extended its gains.

(2) French authorities are bracing for a new round of protests Saturday, rolling out the military to back up police in a bid to prevent a repeat of last weekend’s riots and reassure markets unnerved by the violence. 

(3) There's a growing divide over how much further the European Central Bank will raise rates, as oil remains above $110 a barrel.

(4) Banks, airlines and governments across Europe, Asia and the Americas are pulling down websites to avoid being hacked. Artificial intelligence models helped to find vulnerabilities in a commonly used programming language called PHP. 

(5) UK consumer sentiment plunged in October as soaring fuel prices brought home the scale of the cost-of-living hit from the Middle East conflict.

(6) Britons looking for a flavor of the upcoming first budget of Andy Burnham’s UK government need look no further than the descriptors emanating from Chancellor of the Exchequer John Healey and his officials at the Treasury: Do no harm. Steady as she goes. Focused.

(7) President Donald Trump spoke to SpaceX Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk and asked him to lift restrictions on his company’s Starlink satellite system, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.

(8) With a fresh infusion of cash to his super political action committee in the first two weeks of October, Elon Musk has now given more than $445 million in the current election cycle and become one of the biggest-ever contributors to such groups.

French Yields' 24-Year High, China-EU Car Sales Accelerate, Russia's Oil Giant Struggles

Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.

On today's podcast:

(1) A recent slowdown of the SpaceX’s Starlink satellite system that enables Ukraine to fend off deadly Russian aerial assaults came from an order by Elon Musk, the company’s chief executive officer, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.

(2) Volodymyr Zelenskyy sought to draw a line under the escalating feud with the US after meeting with Donald Trump’s envoys in Oslo, while the US president kept up pressure on Kyiv.

(3) Elon Musk capitalized on a strong quarter of earnings at SpaceX to openly press for combining the business with Tesla Inc. in what would be the biggest merger of all time.

(4) Billionaire Ken Griffin said investors are “almost certainly” in the midst of an artificial intelligence bubble as many companies are still grappling with just how much they’ll spend on the technology and how it will transform the economy.

(5) There’s a risk the ongoing French bond rout escalates into a euro-area debt crisis that eclipses the blowup that began in Greece nearly two decades ago, warned Franklin Templeton’s fixed-income investment chief.

(6) More than half of Britons think markets could severely lose confidence in the UK within five years. The poll from Ipsos and the National Institute of Economic and Social Research found respondents expect tax hikes in the coming budget.

(7) Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni heads into next year’s election with no plans to broaden her coalition to include the new far-right National Future party, said one of the co-founders of her Brothers of Italy party.
