Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated on Friday that his country will not allow the Middle East region to be "torn apart." Speaking at Teknofest in Adana, Erdogan labeled Israel as a"state of madness," stressing that its "sinister plan" will "not be limited to Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon." "You don't need a prophecy to see where the ultimate goal lies," he noted. The president also slammed Western countries for providing weapons and diplomatic support to Israel. "It is clear where the thousands of tons of bombs raining down on Gaza and Lebanon came from, where they were manufactured and who supplied them. No offense to anyone, but those who supply those bombs are as much a part of every drop of blood spilled as those who threw the bombs," he concluded.

Interesting news from the BRC today, saying that shop prices are falling, down 0.6% for year to Sept 2024, a slightly steeper fall than -0.3% in the year to Aug. This might possibly help the Bank of England cut interest rates from the current excessive level -

"Helen Dickinson OBE, Chief Executive of the BRC, said: “September was a good month for bargain hunters as big discounts and fierce competition pushed shop prices further into deflation. Shop Price inflation is now at its lowest level in over three years, with monthly prices dropping in seven of the last nine months. This was driven by non-food, with Furniture and Clothing showing the biggest drops in inflation as retailers tried to entice shoppers back. Food inflation edged up slightly as poor harvests in key producing regions led to higher prices for cooking oils and sugary products."

10,000,000 in bomb shelters said reporter.

Not sure I believe her unless she counted them all.

Just as Iran felt it had to respond to the assassinations of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in July and of the Hezbollah leader in September, Israel is unlikely to take this direct attack from Iran lying down.

Its targets could range from Iran’s nuclear facilities to IRGC bases to the launch sites and storage depots from where Tuesday’s missile attack were fired from.

Around 180 Iranian missiles launched...ballistic and cruise types.

No drones though.

Several missiles exploded....one casualty reported....a Palestinian.

Could be another wave later tonight.

OIL up 5%

Responding nicely....up 6%

Revenue growth slowed in Q3, but is still good. Maybe that's to be expected as inflation moderates? Profit expectations are in line for FY 12/2024. Is "in line" good enough when shares are on a punchy 21.6x forward earnings? Lovely company, but shares look fully priced.
