Belgium faces a nationwide rail strike as ACOD protests proposed spending cuts, while diesel supply worries keep costs tense. Brussels’ Climate March and the Dikkenek anniversary bring crowds to the city.

Brazil Stable 49

Brazil’s holiday crowds hit the road

Brazil’s fuel tax cuts and diesel subsidies ease pressure on road operators as Círio de Nazaré draws pilgrims and the Aparecida holiday sends traffic surging; above-target inflation still squeezes household budgets and shop costs.

Canada Cautious 43

Canada’s hiring slump cools the market

Canada’s 68,000 September job losses darken the hiring outlook, while Ottawa’s $2B heat-pump rebate backs home-upgrade sales. WestJet’s tropical-storm advisories disrupt some Mexico-bound trips, even as Edmonton’s Elks clinch a CFL home playoff game.

Egypt Cautious 43

Factory aid meets flight disruption

Egypt’s EGP10bn factory rescue plan could revive demand for business services, while Saudi airport attacks disrupt Umrah flights and raise travel costs. Colder weather and higher poultry production costs are squeezing household food budgets.

France Weak 36

France’s household squeeze deepens

France’s cost-of-living squeeze is tightening as energy bills and diesel costs drain household budgets. Drought and pricier farm inputs threaten harvests, while strained hospitals and student protests add pressure to already stretched public services.

Germany Stable 53

Frankfurt’s Book Fair Draws a Crowd

The Frankfurter Buchmesse opens to the public as strong trade attendance and a merchandise boom lift Frankfurt’s visitor spending, while a new parcel customs fee reshapes bargain shopping and rising flu, COVID and RSV signals put clinics on alert.

Italy Stable 54

Tourist spending climbs as Tuscany hits pause

Italy’s foreign-visitor spending rose 5% in the first eight months, while TTG Rimini opens with 2,800 brands and 1,000 buyers; a Tuscany general strike disrupts trains, buses and public services.

Libya Stable 46

Tripoli floods snarl business

Tripoli downpours flooded streets, trapped thousands of cars and forced Jumhouria Bank to close every city branch; emergency crews are clearing roads, but detours and lost foot traffic are squeezing shops, cafés and service businesses.

Nigeria Cautious 43

Fuel bills bite as strikes disrupt services

After Abuja petrol hikes added up to ₦29 per litre despite NNPC’s discount, transport and delivery bills climb; an ASUU strike at Taraba State University and Abeokuta’s FMC warning strike disrupt public services and clinic access as household spending tightens.

Philippines Cautious 44

El Niño Prep Meets Port Pressure

Russia Stable 50
