Deep dives
Israel-Hamas War and Regional Escalation
The Israel-Hamas War has been ongoing for nearly a month. Israel took responsibility for striking an ambulance outside a Gaza City hospital, resulting in 15 deaths. Hamas plans to block foreign nationals from evacuating until Israel guarantees safe passage for ambulances. Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based terrorist group, expressed support for Hamas and hinted at potential increased involvement. U.S. Secretary of State Blinken visited the West Bank and Baghdad in an attempt to de-escalate the situation.
Trump's Civil Trial and Economic Update
Former President Trump, his adult sons, and Trump Organization are facing a civil trial in New York for alleged fraud and inflated asset values. The trial will determine damages sought by New York's Attorney General, Letitia James, who is also seeking to ban the defendants from doing business in the state. Despite legal challenges, recent polls indicate Trump leading President Biden in key swing states. On the economic front, the U.S. added 150,000 jobs in October, lower than expected, with healthcare and government sectors leading in job growth. The unemployment rate increased to 3.9%, but investors still view this as a step towards lowering inflation and avoiding interest rate hikes.
