The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it condemns an attack on an LNG tanker owned by Qatar Gas Transport Company.

China's National Energy Administration said coal-fired power generation and its share declined YoY in Q3 2026, reflecting further progress in the energy low-carbon transition. Recent measures to boost coal production and secure supply have steadied availability; consumption has been relatively stable, narrowing the supply-demand gap and leaving thermal coal inventories in a safe, reasonable range to support winter peak supply. As of Oct. 25, Bohai Rim port coal stocks were 26.92 mln tonnes, up 2.15 mln tonnes YoY; Qinhuangdao held 5.95 mln tonnes, up 0.42 mln. Centrally dispatched power-plant coal stocks were 210 mln tonnes on Oct. 25, equivalent to roughly 35 days of supply, broadly in line with the three-year average.

Statistics Indonesia said on Monday it expects 2026 rice production at 33.11 mln tonnes, down 4.57% YoY from 34.69 mln tonnes, citing an extended dry season driven by El Niño. The government is seeking to limit damage by promoting earlier planting and distributing water pumps.
