Pressure builds on Beijing to boost economy

OpenAI is considering a largely untested company model to protect chief executive Sam Altman from outside interference, and virtually all global insurers now include at least one low-carbon transition goal within their investment plans. Millions of dollars in bets are being placed on the US presidential election following the lifting of a domestic betting ban last week. Plus, China’s deflationary pressures picked up in September with weaker than expected consumer and factory prices, and the 2024 Nobel Prize for economics has been awarded to a trio of academics for their work on global inequality.
