EconomyUS factory costs spike, threatening Bitcoin’s rally above $85,000

US manufacturers reported broader input-price increases in September, pushing the ISM manufacturing prices index to 77.9. If the data strengthen expectations for higher interest rates, more expensive financing and improved returns on interest-bearing dollar assets could weigh on Bitcoin’s attempt to move above $85,000. The impact depends on the jobs report and shifts in rate expectations.

Parvati Nair, a professor at Queen Mary University of London, describes the UK-France migration agreement as a small but revealing part of their wider post-Brexit relationship, linking migration with diplomacy, security, intelligence and surveillance. She warns that it reduces complex human realities to numbers and deterrence while obscuring the experiences of people fleeing conflict, displacement and trauma. She calls for safe legal routes, greater accountability and a shift away from militarised borders and criminalised mobility.

ScienceVenus' mysterious haze is actually cosmic dust

Scientists have determined that Venus’ yellowish lower atmospheric haze comes from cosmic dust left behind when meteoroids burn up. A Tohoku University team used a microphysical model to show that sulfuric acid interacting with the particles forms the haze, while the dust also acts as condensation nuclei that help clouds develop.
