-International Events-
1. Russia issues nuclear warning to NATO as tensions rise in the Baltic: Russia has warned NATO it would be ready to resort to nuclear weapons if the Western alliance attempted to cut off Kaliningrad, a Russian exclave that borders the Baltic Sea. The document said this included the possibility "of Russian strikes against decision-making centers in the alliance's member states right from the outset of the conflict". (Reuters)
2. Argentina Threatens UK With Court Action Over Falklands Oil Drilling: "I instructed the Foreign Ministry and our legal teams to initiate international arbitration against the United Kingdom for the illegal plundering of our resources through the Sea Lion Project in the North Malvinas Basin," the Argentine president wrote on X. "If in 2 weeks the United Kingdom does not halt the illegitimate exploitation, we will go to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea. THE MALVINAS ARE ARGENTINE, and they are defended with facts, not words," he wrote. (ZeroHedge/X) (AC-Here's a sleeper threat.)
3. Settler attack on Jalud, occupied West Bank: Agence France-Presse reported that more than 100 Israeli settlers attacked the Palestinian village of Jalud, burning two homes and injuring three Israeli security personnel while blocking a displaced Palestinian family from returning. (ManilaTimes)

1. U.S. completes Iraq withdrawal of Operation Inherent Resolve: US CENTCOM and the Pentagon said coalition forces and equipment completed an orderly departure from Erbil Air Base on 30 September, ending the Iraq portion of Operation Inherent Resolve after 12 years. Combined Joint Task Force–OIR headquarters moved to Jordan; U.S. and partner operations against ISIS continue in Syria. (CBS)
2. Supreme Court stays block on third-country deportations: SCOTUS granted the Justice Department’s emergency request to stay a Boston district-court and First Circuit order that had barred DHS from removing migrants to countries not named in their removal orders without individualized notice and a chance to claim harm. Rights groups say more than 25,000 people have already been sent to 29 third countries under the policy. (Reuters)
3. Flood threat from Polo's historic moisture plume expands into Texas: Deep tropical moisture from the former hurricane triggered flooding in the Southwest. That now spreads into Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado. (WXChannel)

-CBDCs/World Currencies/Strategic Reserves-
1. Fed guarantees 2-day stablecoin payouts, but $76B remains blocked: The Federal Reserve's stablecoin proposal would put a general two-business-day limit on redemption by issuers it supervises. The Fed proposal, published in the Federal Register on Sept. 29 after the Board announced it on Sept. 24, would require a Board-supervised payment stablecoin issuer to disclose its redemption procedure. (CryptoSlate) (AC-The US FED is now regulating the USD-backed stablecoin market, for better or worse.)
2. Bitwise Head of Research: Sovereigns Selling Gold for Bitcoin: When Bitcoin fell from $125K to $60K, not one of the 15 major institutions Bitwise interviewed sold, and many bought more. (BitcoinMag)

2. US Mortgage Applications Fall for 4th Week: US mortgage applications fell 6% in the week ending September 25, extending the decline to a fourth consecutive week as borrowing costs continued to rise. The average rate on 30-year fixed mortgages with conforming balances increased to 7.30% from 7.12%, reaching its highest level since November 2023. (TradingEconomics)
3. Treasury Yields Hold at Multi-Decade Highs: The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note held around 5.23% on Wednesday, remaining near its highest level since 2007, while the 30-year yield climbed as high as 5.62%. (TradingEconomics)
4. US Stocks Mixed as Yields Remain at Multiyear Highs: US stocks were mostly lower on Tuesday, weighed down by another rise in Treasury yields to fresh multiyear highs. The S&P 500 edged lower, the Dow shed over 100 points, while the Nasdaq edged higher. (TradingEconomics)
-Security Concerns-
1. New Mexico jury finds Meta deceived consumers about data privacy practices: The jury found that Facebook misled consumers by telling them they controlled how their information was shared and that it did not buy or sell users’ private data, particularly with advertisers. In addition to fines, New Mexico is pressing the judge to order Facebook to make sweeping changes to its data privacy practices in the future. (RecordedFuture) (Ac-Shocker.)
-Technology and Science-
1. Trump, Tech Leaders Sign ‘White House Accord on Super Intelligence’: Leaders in Artificial Intelligence, or “Super Intelligence” as President Donald Trump has officially rebranded it, on Tuesday signed the White House Accord on Super Intelligence, which House Speaker Mike Johnson described as the companies’ commitment to “robust internal controls and layers of internal and external review.” The text lists four layers: internal model controls (cyber, bio, chemical, unintended system access), an internal controls team, an independent board committee, and an external auditor. Trump likened the White House Accord on Superintelligence to a “constitution.” Trump also signed an executive order Tuesday to rebrand Artificial Intelligence as Super Intelligence. (Breitbart/X)
