Year To Date Performances:

1. U.S. President Joe Biden is set to visit Israel amidst escalating tensions between Israel and Hamas, reflecting the aftermath of a recent attack on southern Israel by Hamas. The current conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with the death toll for Israelis reaching 1,400 and more than 2,800 Palestinians killed due to Israeli air raids. In response to the Hamas attacks, Israel has tightened its blockade on Gaza, leading to increased hardship for its residents. The U.S. aims to show solidarity with its primary Middle East ally, Israel, during these trying times. The Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, highlighted that during Biden's visit, the focus would be on Israel's defense needs, strategies, and the importance of minimizing civilian casualties. Furthermore, a plan to supply humanitarian aid to Gaza's civilians will also be discussed. After his Israel visit, Biden will travel to Jordan to meet with other regional leaders, including the Egyptian President and the Palestinian Authority President. Amidst these developments, Iran's Foreign Minister warned of potential "preemptive action" against Israel, hinting at broader regional implications. The international community, including Japan, is ramping up efforts to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza and ensure the conflict does not escalate further.

2. Despite economic headwinds, U.S. consumers aren't closing their wallets just yet! In September, retail sales surged by 0.7%, surpassing Dow Jones' 0.3% estimate, revealing a surprisingly robust consumer sector amidst rising interest rates and economic slowdown concerns. This uptick, encompassing sectors from online shopping to motor vehicle parts, has captured the Federal Reserve's attention, potentially influencing future monetary policies. With further challenges on the horizon, like an anticipated employment growth slowdown and rising credit card balances, this resilience will be a focal point for markets and policymakers alike.
