Analytical Brief — 25.10.2026 03:12

As of 03:10 UTC on 25.10.2026, the world is entering a zone of simultaneous escalation across three fronts: the Middle East (Trump hints at a strike on Iran, Houthis attack Saudi oil targets, debris falls in Mecca/Medina), Ukraine (117 battles, strikes on Kharkiv/Odesa/Vinnytsia, unrest in Kerch), and the US (midterm elections threatened by AI deepfakes, Dow down 1.24%). Macro: WTI 107.9 (+4.3%), VIX 19.0, 10Y UST 4.96%, 10Y-2Y spread 0.31 — fear is rising, but recession is not priced in. There is no yield curve inversion. Key risk: Iran/Houthis shifting the conflict to energy and undersea cables. Ukraine remains a front burning resources without a negotiation track. Day against the sun: institutional violence and manipulation prevail, though there are sporadic signals of sovereignty (Brazil, Bolivia-Chile).
