  Historybook: President Dwight D. Eisenhower born (1890); Chuck Yeager becomes first person to fly faster than speed of sound (1947); Cuban Missile Crisis begins (1962); Martin Luther King Jr. wins Nobel Peace Prize (1964); American photographer Dody Weston Thompson dies (2012).
  
  Israel-Hamas war update: Palestinians scrambled to leave the Northern part of the Gaza Strip yesterday after Israel gave the 1.1 million people in that part of the territory 24 hours to evacuate, which the UN called impossible. As it prepares for a ground war, Israel continued to launch airstrikes and began ground raids in response to Hamas’s attack last weekend targeting civilians and, per NBC, schools and a youth center, which killed 1,300 people. Meanwhile, as the conflict escalates, Saudi Arabia said it was putting the deal to normalize relations with Israel, which the US had been brokering, on hold. And President Biden pledged the US would work with other governments to surge humanitarian aid to Gaza, saying Palestinians who have nothing to do with Hamas’s terrorism were suffering.

  Reuters: U.S. energy firms this week added the most oil rigs since March, boosting the oil and gas rig count for the first time in four weeks.

  
  

  The total oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, rose three to 622 in the week to Oct. 13. Despite this week's rig increase, Baker Hughes said the total count was still down 147, or 19%, below this time last year.

  
  

  Oil rigs rose by four to 501 this week, while gas rigs fell by one to 117.

  
  

  U.S. oil futures were up about 8% so far this year after gaining about 7% in 2022. U.S. gas futures, meanwhile, have plunged about 28% so far this year after rising about 20% last year.
