Russia, Ukraine and the United States met in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, 10 November, for their first trilateral talks since February, and expectations of a breakthrough are low. Russia struck Ukrainian energy sites and Dnipro bridges as the talks opened, while Ukrainian drones hit a plant in Novgorod. Europe's role in the process is contested.

Iran dominated the crisis map. Trump and Rubio signal no new major attacks while Qatar mediates, but Tehran insists no talks exist. Iran's Revolutionary Guard Navy said three tankers caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz, at least two after hitting mines. The Saudi-led coalition says it shot down missiles fired at Riyadh and southern Saudi Arabia, and Gulf defence ministers approved an advanced military command in Kuwait.

US consumer prices rose faster than forecast in October, and the Financial Times says a December Fed hike is now sealed. Oil fell below $90 for the first time since August after Trump pulled back from a threat to strike Iran. In tech, Anthropic seeks up to $64.4bn by offering 825 million shares at $70 to $78 each, while Nvidia shares closed down more than 4% on Monday as its board investigates CEO Jensen Huang.

Largely off the radar, Indonesia's Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka intends to resign, a presidential official said, as parliament weighed a probe into the vice president's eligibility. The Financial Times says the departure could deepen instability and end the alliance between Joko Widodo, the vice president's father, and President Prabowo Subianto. Tomorrow, watch the House, which could vote this week on impeachment articles against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
