Good Morning from Germany, where the govt is hosting its first investment summit in Berlin, taking a page from Franceโ€™s โ€œChoose Franceโ€ playbook. Since end-2019, real capital investment has FALLEN 6.9%, while govt consumption has RISEN 15.2%. GDP is up just 1.9% over the same period, through Q2 2026. More state consumption, less investment in future growth. Quite a backdrop for โ€œInvest in Germany.โ€

Canadian oil is the cheapest barrel in the West right now. WTI is above $100. Western Canadian Select trades $26 below it. In mid-September the gap was about $10. This time the pipes arenโ€™t the main problem.. The buyers are. 3 things are hitting Albertaโ€™s heavy barrel: 1๏ธโƒฃRefiners want light, sweet crude that yields more diesel, and diesel is what the world is short of. 2๏ธโƒฃFreight to Asia has exploded. Gulf to China used to cost about $3 a barrel. Now itโ€™s about $40. 3๏ธโƒฃVenezuelan heavy crude is back on the US Gulf Coast, competing for the same refineries. The Trans Mountain pipeline is full at 890,000 barrels a day and Canadian output is heading for a record above 5.3 million. TD Cowen sees the wide discount lasting into 2027. It still likes Canadian energy stocks. Thatโ€™s the interesting part for me. A $26 discount on $100 oil still leaves a lot of cash. But it doesnโ€™t hit everyone equally. Producers with their own refineries can offset it. Pure heavy-oil producers canโ€™t. Iโ€™m planning a deep dive on the Canadian oil companies that win and lose from this. Which names do you want me to cover?

According to @BarakRavid of Axios, during an unannounced visit, U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth visited Israel today and met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. While details on what was discussed during the meeting have yet to come out, the meeting comes just a week prior to Israeli elections, a potential renewal of joint U.S.-Israeli large scale strikes on Iran, and U.S. President Donald J. Trumpโ€™s endorsement of Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Ukrainian President Volodmyr Zelenskyy says Russia launched 16 ballistic missiles at Kyiv and the Kyiv region in several waves overnight, along with more than 200 drones, including jet powered Shaheds, and that Ukraine again received no early warning from its partners. Zelenskyy said a medical clinic, a school, a metro station and residential buildings were damaged. He said Russia hit energy facilities in 11 regions, including Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa and Vinnytsia, damaging more than 10 energy sites and leaving at least 550,000 families without power. Zelensky said Ukraine has accepted every ceasefire proposal, and that Russiaโ€™s response has been missiles and drones. He said that blocking deliveries of air defense missiles to Ukraine while Russia gets relief or delays in sanctions is โ€œa denial of realityโ€ by partners. He did not say which partners or which deliveries. The attack follows a similar overnight barrage October 13th into the 14th, after President Donald J. Trump announced an โ€œenergy ceasefireโ€ on October 11th. President Trump said October 13th that the U.S. is still sharing intelligence with Ukraine.
Another Russian ballistic missile attack came in several waves overnight, and once again, there was no early warning from our partners. They again targeted energy facilities and infrastructure, but a medical clinic, a school, a metro station, and ordinary residential buildings were also damaged. In total, the Russians launched 16 ballistic missiles in a deliberate attack on Kyiv and the Kyiv region. The Russians also launched more than 200 drones of various types, including jet-powered โ€œshaheds,โ€ with attacks spanning from the Kharkiv and Dnipro regions to the Volyn, Rivne, and Odesa regions. Sadly, there are casualties. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Those who were injured are receiving assistance. Overnight and this morning, Russia attacked energy facilities in the Vinnytsia, Volyn, Kirovohrad, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi, Kharkiv, Ternopil, Odesa, and Rivne regions. In this one night alone, more than 10 energy infrastructure facilities were damaged, and the lights went out for at least 550,000 families. Repair crews are working at the sites. Ukraine never wanted this war, and we have welcomed literally EVERY attempt by our partners to bring this war to a dignified end. We have responded positively to EVERY ceasefire proposal. Russia's response, time and again, has been ballistic missiles, โ€œshaheds,โ€ and killings. Putin not only doesn't want to end this war โ€“ he doesn't even want to take any steps toward de-escalation. EVERY ONE of our partners has experienced this firsthand when they heard Russia's refusals. And it is crucial to call things what they are. To call the aggressor an aggressor and help Ukraine defend lives. When deliveries of missiles for Ukraine's air defense are blocked while Russia is granted relief or delays in sanctions, this is, unfortunately, a denial of reality on the part of our partners. The reality is that the war continues, and it continues solely because of Russian strikes and Russia's desire to drag this war out. I thank everyone who recognizes this reality and helps Ukraine!

Ahahaha 'Albania rejects blatant corruption' sure, buddy :)))) @nikola_mikovic @vanusha_rm
The Supreme Court burns to the ground in Albania, Parliament and the Department of Education has been stormed, the Prime Minister is in hiding and the country is effectively in the hands of the rebels. Albania rejects blatant corruption and their country being sold.

German newspaper Welt reports that Germanyโ€™s federal government spent โ‚ฌ242.5 BILLION on refugee-related expenditures from 2016โ€“2025. That's equal to a STAGGERING 5.8% of total federal spending over that period.

Netanyahu to Americans: If you're worried about today's gas prices, think of what will happen if Iran gets nuclear weapons, something that Trump and I will never allow. And when that happens, when that threat of that regime disappears, gas prices will go down. But only under Trump. It's not going to happen with those who want to accommodate and appease these tyrants.

BREAKING: Israel is openly preparing for a future completely without the United States, with Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledging for the first time the possibility of a breakdown in the U.S.โ€“Israel alliance and warning that "in two years, a President, man or woman, could come to power who is very hostile to Israel," per The Jerusalem Post. Speaking at an event presenting his security doctrine just nine days before Israel's October 27 election, Netanyahu said Israel must use the remaining years of Trump's presidency to strengthen its position while preparing for a dramatic shift in American policy. "First, we must do everything we can during these two years... in the American arena, through good times and bad," he said. "The second thing is to create other alliances. That is what I am working on now with many countries in our region and outside it."
