Anthropic IPO could draw record retail buying, Vanda Research says

Anthropic could see record buying by retail investors in its market debut, potentially surpassing SpaceX and making it one of the biggest single-day retail purchases in history, Vanda Research said in a note on Wednesday. The research firm expects Anthropic's debut to attractabout $250 million in net retail buying, based on its analysis of retail activity on listing days and the volume of its pre-IPO perpetual futures traded on Hyperliquid. This would be twice SpaceX's IPO record of $118 million in retail buying. "Judging by pre-IPO perp trading, Anthropic is shaping up to be a record retail IPO," Viraj Patel, global macro strategist at Vanda Research said, in the note. Pre-IPO perpetual futures are a type of derivative contract which trade on exchanges like Hyperliquid and Coinbase, and allow traders to bet on private companies' valuation. They have no direct link to the underlying shares but are priced with reference to the company's latest disclosed pre-IPO valuation. Only six stocks have topped $250 million in single-day retail buying since 2024, the data firm added. "Anthropic next w

Over 3 million attend Pope's final Argentina mass

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Pope Leo XIV drew vast crowds to Argentina's holiest shrine Wednesday, the final day of his visit before he departs for Peru, where he spent nearly two decades as a missionary. Authorities said over three million people packed the streets around the Basilica of Lujan, with some climbing fences, barriers, trees and lampposts for a glimpse of the pontiff. Crowds chanted "thank you Leo!" to the 71-year-old pope, who is on a 12-day tour of Uruguay, Argentina and Peru less than a month after undergoing surgery for lung cancer. The stop at Lujan was the emotional centerpiece of Leo's first visit to Argentina, where his predecessor Francis never managed to return home as pope. "Thank you, Argentina, for welcoming me with open arms," he said as he bid farewell to the thronging crowd, which was the largest he drew during his visit to the country. "It was a unique, unforgettable experience," Daiana Rivero, 36, told AFP. "The pope's visit leaves a very powerful emotion and I feel this is going to be a turning point for our country," she said.

US Treasury chief relocates to base after Iran threat

WASHINGTON — U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has relocated from his home in the Washington area to a military base "for his safety," an official source familiar with the situation confirmed Wednesday — amid threats linked to Iran. Bessent is the third senior official in President Donald Trump's cabinet reported to have moved into military housing, following Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Bessent has spearheaded a U.S. push to cripple Iran's economy since the start of the Middle East war through a web of sanctions. Bessent "will not be deterred by the Iranian regime's threats" and will continue implementing actions which are "collapsing Iran's economy," a Treasury spokesperson said. U.S. national intelligence chief Jay Clayton warned last month that Tehran has "substantially increased" its efforts to target Americans in the Middle East and beyond. Bessent's relocation came after officials determined the Treasury chief's Washington home could be geo-located following publication on a photo of the property. "Security concerns began to increase whi

Russian ambassador to the US dies: foreign ministry

MOSCOW — Russia's ambassador to the United States, Alexander Darchiev, has died "suddenly" at the age of 66 after just one and a half years in the job, Moscow's foreign ministry announced Wednesday. The ministry called Darchiev an "outstanding diplomat, an experienced leader and a kind colleague." He was appointed in March 2025. Moscow did not give more details on the death. Darchiev previously served as Russia's ambassador to Canada between 2014 and 2021. He was appointed to the U.S. role last year, shortly after President Donald Trump returned to power, and several years into Moscow's Ukraine offensive that has pitted Russia against the West. Darchiev was a specialist in Russia-U.S. relations and was the director of the foreign ministry's North America department between 2021-2024. In 2022, when Russia attacked Ukraine, Darchiev called the move a "necessary measure."

US Navy commander highlights training ties with S. Korea during ship visit

WASHINGTON — A senior U.S. Navy commander has highlighted the importance of education and training cooperation with South Korea, describing ties between sailors of the two countries as a lasting investment in the bilateral alliance. "The friendships formed during this voyage are among the most lasting and mutually beneficial investments our alliance can make," Rear Adm. Greg Huffman, commander of the U.S. Naval Education and Training Command, said during an Oct. 27 reception aboard South Korea's naval training ship ROKS Hansando at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida, according to a U.S. military report released Monday. During the visit, Huffman also met with senior South Korean naval officers, including Vice Adm. Park Kyu-paek, superintendent of the Korea Naval Academy, and Rear Adm. Kim Joon-yup, commander of the South Korean Navy's Cruise Training Task Group. "Our mission is fundamentally about people - recruiting, training, educating and developing sailors to serve with competence, character and confidence," Huffman said. "This development is not confined to a classroom; it is

Iran security chief threatens to strike US bases in Europe if used for attacks

TEHRAN — Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei has threatened to strike U.S. bases beyond the Middle East, including in Europe, if they are used for attacks against the Islamic republic. "If American aircraft take off from an American military base, even one located in a European country or some other distant region, to bomb Iran, we will strike those bases as well," Rezaei told Lebanon-based Al Mayadeen TV in an interview broadcast on Wednesday. He also said that Iran's response to renewed U.S. attacks would "target America's more distant military installations — including the ones we have not yet attacked," without specifying. "We may even strike certain islands that they assume are beyond the reach of our missiles," he added during the interview, which was conducted in Tehran. The Middle East war broke out on February 28 with U.S.-Israeli strikes that killed Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran responded by launching missiles and drones at countries across the region, while the militant groups it backs in Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq also entered the fray. Diplomatic effort

Biden says he wouldn't have run for second term in 2024 if he knew he had cancer

Biden says he wouldn't have run for second term in 2024 if he knew he had cancer

ATLANTA — Joe Biden says he did not know he had cancer while he was president and would not have sought a second term if he already had been diagnosed. The former Democratic president's comments came in an interview with People magazine before the release of his White House memoir on Tuesday. “If I had known that I was feeling lousy because I had cancer,” said Biden, who turns 84 on Nov. 20, “I would’ve not gone forward” with a 2024 reelection bid that ended after a disastrous debate performance against Republican Donald Trump. Biden was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer months after leaving office in 2025. “I don’t think an 80-year-old man with cancer should be running” for president, Biden said in the interview. Still, he argued that the June 2024 debate, less than five months before Election Day, was not a seismic event even if it accelerated Democrats' concerns about his age — he was 81 at the time — and his ability to defeat Trump. “First of all, I thought there’d be another debate, which there wasn’t,” Biden said. “But notwithstanding the fact
