Saudi-Houthi conflict escalates with strikes and disruptions in Riyadh
The Saudi-led coalition and Iran-backed Houthis traded strikes on Sunday, intensifying a conflict that has disrupted life in Riyadh and Yemen. The Kingdom Centre skyscraper in Riyadh mandated remote work for office tenants following security alerts. The coalition conducted air raids on Houthi-controlled regions, while the Houthis claimed to have downed a Saudi helicopter, resulting in the first military fatalities since the war reignited in July. Egypt's parliament postponed a vote on authorizing military support for Saudi Arabia, and Iran's defense minister threatened retaliation against the U.S. and its allies.

Gold Gains as Fed Rate-Hike Bets Dim After Warsh Remarks
Gold prices rose on October 18, 2026, as traders reduced expectations for a Federal Reserve rate hike this month after comments from Chair Kevin Warsh. Bullion was trading at $4,180 an ounce, up from a 0.7% decline the prior week. The probability of a quarter-point rate hike dropped to less than one-in-five following Warsh's remarks, which suggested keeping rates on hold. Higher borrowing costs are a challenge for gold, which does not pay interest.
