Saudi Arabia increased the official selling price of crude for buyers in Asia, according to Bloomberg. Oil prices surged more than 8% last week, marking the biggest weekly gain in nearly two years.

More than 80 police officers were injured in an anti-government rally near Islamabad, Pakistan’s capital.

Regulators cut interest rates and reduced the cost of existing mortgages. 根據國營廣播公司報導，中國的房屋銷售在10月1日開始的七天國慶假期期間上升。中央電視台（CCTV）報導稱，部分地區的看房人數同比增長約50%，這表明上週公佈的刺激措施提升了消費者的信心。監管機構削減了利率並降低了現有房貸的成本。 5. America launched strikes against 15 Houthi targets in Yemen, targeting what America said were “offensive military capabilities”. A television network run by the Iran-backed** rebels**, who control much of Yemen, reported that strikes hit an airport. Since last October the Houthis have launched hundreds of missiles towards Israel and attacked *commercial* ships in the Red Sea. 美國對葉門的15個胡塞目標發動了攻擊，目標是美國所稱的「進攻性軍事能力」。由伊朗支持的叛軍掌控的大部分葉門地區的電視網路報導稱，空襲擊中了機場。自去年10月以來，胡塞武裝已向以色列發射了數百枚飛彈，並攻擊了紅海的商業船隻。 6. Herbert Kickl, the head of Austria’s hard-right Freedom Party, urged his rivals to let him govern after his party came first in parliamentary elections last week.

The European Court of Justice said Romania must recognise the name and gender of a Romanian-British dual citizen who legally transitioned to male while living in Britain when it was still in the European Union. The ruling could make more conservative and restrictive EU states recognise gender transitions from those that make the process easier. 歐洲法院表示，羅馬尼亞必須承認一名羅馬尼亞-英國雙重國籍公民的姓名與性別，該公民在英國仍是歐盟成員國時，合法完成了男性的性別轉換。此判決可能促使更多保守且限制較多的歐盟國家承認在那些性別轉換程序較為簡便的國家進行的性別轉換。 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
