Top Signal Trump: US must still 'take care' of 1-2 Iran targets as Khamenei orders no-limits response Speaking in Florida, Trump said talks with Iran are going well but that Tehran is unreliable and breaks agreements, adding that Iran's nuclear facilities are destroyed apart from one or two sites, including Pickaxe Mountain near Natanz. Secretary of State Rubio said Trump has made no decision on fresh strikes and the US is open to a diplomatic solution. Why it matters: Both sides are publicly pre-committing to retaliation logic while negotiating, which raises the cost of any miscalculation around the election window.

This is the archived digest for Sunday, 1 November 2026. Sections that read live data rather than that day's record — markets, the chart tape, recommendations, the insurance tape, the world map, what each channel led with, federal court filings, congressional trading and the government wire — are left out here, because showing today's numbers under 2026-11-01 would misstate them. They were in the email sent that morning. Read today's digest →
