It\u2019s seen that the widening of Israel\u2019s war could place pressure on global finances, while threatening financial markets, trade, and stability \u2014 given that it could involve major commodity exporters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>IN CONTEXT-<\/strong> World Bank President Ajay Banga estimated that damage from Israeli strikes on Gaza is now in the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/gaza-war-damage-cost-likely-now-14-bln-20-bln-world-banks-banga-says-2024-10-15\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">USD 14-20 bn<\/a> range, adding that the World Bank had provided USD 300 mn, 6x what was normally given, to the Palestinian Authority to help it cope with the ongoing crisis.

China cut its loan prime rates by 25 bps today, with additional clarity on economic momentum coming from the 3Q industrial profit data later in the week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Europe faces fiscal challenges:<\/strong> The UK has already been warned of potential market backlash if it fails to stabilize its debt, as Chancellor Rachel Reeves prepares to present the 30 October budget.
