European Space Agency Secures Record €22.1 Billion Budget, Accelerates Ambitious Space Programs The European Space Agency (ESA) has secured an unprecedented budget of €22.1 billion for its programs over the next three years, marking one of the largest financial commitments in the agency’s history. The decision was announced following a ministerial council meeting held in Bremen, Germany. This new budget exceeds the amount pledged by ESA’s 23 member states in 2022 by more than €5 billion—a milestone ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher described as “something never seen before.” Prior to the meeting, experts had projected a budget of around €20 billion. However, the final commitment surpassed expectations, signaling Europe’s growing recognition of space as a rapidly expanding economic sector with increasing relevance for security, defense, and technological leadership. Aschbacher emphasized that space has become “an economic domain growing at tremendous speed,” and a field Europe must not fall behind in.

Global Markets Slip as Fed Rate-Cut Expectations Cool and Oil Prices Surge Asian stocks declined after four consecutive days of gains as growing uncertainty over potential Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts and stretched valuations in the technology sector weighed on investor sentiment.

Recent comments from Federal Reserve officials have reduced the likelihood of a rate cut in December, prompting caution among global investors. Earlier in the week, markets had rallied on hopes that the end of the US government shutdown would allow key economic data releases to resume, improving visibility for traders. As a result, global equities were on track for their fourth weekly gain in five weeks. However, the renewed uncertainty surrounding Fed policy has injected fresh volatility into market sentiment.

South Korea’s Economy Accelerates — GDP Growth Surpasses Expectations South Korea’s economy gathered pace in the third quarter, reducing pressure on policymakers to introduce further monetary stimulus as they balance curbing a heated housing market with assessing potential impacts from upcoming US trade policies. According to data released by the Bank of Korea on Tuesday, the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP) expanded by 1.2% in the three months through September compared to the previous quarter. The figure exceeded market expectations, which had projected around 1% growth. On a yearly basis, the economy grew 1.7%. The stronger-than-expected growth highlights resilient domestic demand and steady export recovery, despite global economic uncertainties. Economists suggest that this momentum could prompt the Bank of Korea to maintain its current monetary stance instead of adding further stimulus.
