1. Trump Weighs Iran Deal Against Renewed Strikes
-- President Donald Trump said Monday he will soon decide whether to strike Iran again or "make a deal" with Tehran as tensions escalate across the Middle East, CNBC reported.
-- Renewed strikes would put Gulf shipping and Saudi energy sites back at risk with Brent near $110, while a deal would strip out the threat premium that has held crude above its prewar level since June.
2. EQT to Buy Range Resources in Natural Gas Megadeal
-- EQT agreed to acquire Range Resources in a combination that would create the largest natural gas producer in the United States, the Financial Times reported.
-- Consolidation gives the merged company more control over Appalachian supply as LNG export demand grows, while concentrating its exposure to a single basin and to gas prices that swing with winter weather.
3. Brazilian Stocks Tumble as Investors Price Lula Fiscal Risk
-- Brazilian equities fell Monday after Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva won the presidential runoff, as investors who had bet on his rival priced in looser fiscal policy, the Financial Times and CNBC reported.
-- A weaker real and higher local borrowing costs would lift the government's refinancing bill and narrow room for Lula's promised spending, while Flavio Bolsonaro's refusal to concede keeps the result exposed to a legal challenge.
4. European Defence Ministers Meet in Paris on Ukraine Support
-- Defence ministers from France, Germany, Italy, Poland and the UK are meeting in Paris to discuss increasing military assistance to Ukraine, Al Jazeera reported.
-- Coordinating outside full NATO consensus lets the five largest European militaries align weapons deliveries and funding, but Kyiv's need for faster supply means the meeting's value depends on firm commitments rather than discussion.
