✈️Striking Boeing workers reject new contract proposal.
Boeing machinists ...
Boeing machinists voted against a revised labor deal proposed by the company, extending a strike that has lasted more than one month and halted most plane production. Nearly two-thirds of union members said no to the new contract, which included a 35% wage increase over four years and more contributions to retirement plans. It’s a big setback for new CEO Kelly Ortberg, who said that ending the strike was key to his turnaround plans. Earlier in the day, Boeing said it lost $6.1 billion last quarter, its biggest quarterly loss since 2020.

US confirms North Korea deployed troops to Russia. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin verified reports that North Korean troops are training in Russia, likely in preparation to fight against Ukraine. South Korean lawmakers said that North Korea has already shipped 3,000 troops to Russia with plans to send a total of 10,000 to assist in the war effort. North Korea has been supplying Russia with munitions after the two countries signed a mutual defense pact in the spring. Austin noted that it’s unclear whether the North Korean soldiers will end up on the front lines, warning that it would be a “very, very serious” issue for Europe and Asia—but also a manifestation of Russia’s desperate manpower shortage.

Oil slips 1% on large build in US crude stocks; market watches Middle East

Oil prices fell on Wednesday after data showed U.S. crude inventories rose by more than expected even as refining activity rebounded, though futures remained up about 2% this week as traders factored in the continuing conflict in the Middle East.

Brent crude futures settled at $74.96, down $1.08, or 1.42%. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures settled down 97 cents, or 1.35%, to $70.77.

U.S. crude inventories rose by 5.5 million barrels to 426 million barrels in the week ended Oct. 18, the Energy Information Administration reported on Wednesday, exceeding analysts' expectations in a Reuters poll for a 270,000-barrel rise.

"The large crude oil inventory build this week is offsetting last week's drop. But a lot of this is a result of the rebound in crude oil imports, which had to do with the hurricane," said Andrew Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates, referring to the previous week's drawdown due to lower imports and demand post-Hurricane Milton.
