Asia Stocks Rise on China Data, Trade Talks; Nikkei Hits Record Highs on Takaichi Bet
Asian stocks traded higher on Monday, driven by a mix of political optimism in Japan and encouraging economic data from China. Japanese shares soared to a new record as investors bet on Sanae Takaichi securing the premiership, anticipating her adoption of ‘fiscal dove’ policies.
**Investor Sentiment in Japan**
Expectations of Sanae Takaichi becoming prime minister have propelled Japanese stocks to record highs. Alongside this, the yen weakened, reflecting market confidence in her potential fiscal policies that may favor increased government spending and a more accommodative approach to economic stimulus.
**Easing Trade Tensions Boost Asia Markets**
Trade tensions appear to be easing, as highlighted by President Trump’s moderated stance on tariffs and the prospect of upcoming trade talks. These developments have buoyed stock indexes across Asia and lifted several local currencies, contributing to the overall positive market sentiment.
**China’s Economic Indicators Show Mixed Signals**
While China experienced slower year-on-year GDP growth, strong quarterly growth and robust industrial output supported optimism for Chinese stocks. However, stable monetary policy combined with tight export controls presents both opportunities and risks for investors navigating the market.

Humility: The Solid Foundation for Holiness
**Getting Your Trinity Audio Player Ready**
Only once in Sacred Scripture, in the Gospel of Matthew (11:28-30), does Jesus describe the characteristics of His Sacred Heart:
> “Come to me all you who find life burdensome, and I will give you rest.
> Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.
> For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
These are the two essential qualities of His Sacred Heart that Jesus highlights: meekness and humility.
From this passage, the Church has formulated one of its most beautiful aspirations, which we can take into our hearts and repeat frequently during the course of the day. That prayer is:
> “Jesus meek and humble of heart, make my heart like unto thine.”
Time and time again, Jesus insists on the dire importance of humility if we want to find God’s favor. God rejects the proud, and He lifts up the humble.
### The Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican
This teaching is illustrated perfectly in the Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican (Luke 18:9-14). The two go up to the temple to pray. The Pharisee names all his good points and praises himself. The Publican, on the other hand, remains in the back of the temple and does not even lift his eyes to pray, begging God to have mercy on him, a sinner.
### Our Lady’s Example of Humility
Our Lady gave us the perfect example by proclaiming herself the handmaid of the Lord. In her marvelous prayer, the Magnificat, she both praises God and humbles herself, saying,
> “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
> for he has looked upon the lowliness (humility) of his handmaid” (Luke 1:46-56).
Given that humility is essential to our growth in holiness, let us explore some practical ways in which we can strive for this virtue.
—
### Practical Ways to Cultivate Humility
**1. Pray**
It has been said that we are greatest and highest—in the eyes of God—when we are on our knees. By praying, we acknowledge our dependence on God and not on ourselves. In the words of the “Doctor of Grace,” St. Augustine, pertinent to humility related to prayer:
> “We are all beggars before God.”
**2. Cultivate Gratitude**
How important it is for our holiness to cultivate an attitude of gratitude and to say often, both to God and to others, those significant words: “Thank you!” Humble people go out of their way to give thanks.
Jesus was both dismayed and hurt when, after healing the ten lepers, only one returned to give Him thanks. The one who returned recognized that his healing was a pure gift from the Heart of Jesus the Healer, the Divine Physician.
**3. Take the Last Place**
Jesus offers us the Parable of the Banquet, in which many were jostling to secure for themselves the best place, closest to the host. Jesus warned that when invited, we should take the last place and not the first. Then we will be first in the eyes of God. This is a sign of a humble heart!
**4. Do Not Curse Others**
Our natural tendency, when someone cuts us off on the road, is to utter nasty words or curse them. This is all too natural — not supernatural.
Jesus wants us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. These commands are found in the Sermon on the Mount, the Our Father, and even when He hung on the cross:
> “Father forgive them, for they know not what they are doing.”
**5. Compliment Others for Their Gifts**
One of the most poisonous attitudes in the spiritual life is jealousy or envy. When we give in to such feelings, we hurt God, ourselves, and others. By choosing to praise or compliment others instead, we win the spiritual battle—indeed, this is a victory in humility!
**6. Be First to Greet**
Imagine this everyday scene: you are walking towards someone you know, and the distance between you is lessening. Do you wait to be greeted first or take the initiative?
Whoever greets first is practicing a host of virtues: charity, courtesy, hospitality, affability, and, of course, humility. We put the other person before ourselves by choosing to greet first, and that is humility.
**7. Apologize**
This one is easier said than done! When we make a mistake or offend someone, it is easy to rationalize, justify, or sweep it under the rug. Such pride is insidious and prevalent.
A humble person is honest, capable of admitting their error and saying, “I am sorry.” Many relationships have been mended by these simple yet humble words.
**8. Listen Attentively**
St. James states clearly:
> “We should be slow to speak and quick to listen” (James 1:19).
A person who wants to do all the talking and refuses to listen often harbors pride and self-love. Conversely, one who listens attentively, encourages, and does not seek the last word displays great humility. The listener pleases Jesus, the best of speakers and listeners (see Luke 24 on Jesus and the disciples of Emmaus).
**9. Confess Your Sins**
Every time we prepare and make a good sacramental confession, our “humility thermometer” ascends to a soaring level.
Confessing with transparency, sincerity, and honesty our moral failings to the priest demands great humility. None of us like to reveal our spiritual shortcomings, but it is necessary to climb the ladder of humility and holiness.
**10. Have a Devotion to Mary**
Our Lady is the surest, quickest, and most efficacious pathway to Jesus. In *True Devotion to Mary*, the great Marian saint Louis de Montfort exalts Mary and ten of her most sublime virtues.
Among Mary’s greatest virtues is her profound humility. Of all God’s creatures, Mary was the greatest and by far the humblest. She recognized that all her gifts and virtues were pure gifts from God.
—
### In Conclusion
In our pursuit of holiness, we must understand the paramount importance of humility. Yet more importantly, let us strive to put this essential virtue into practice daily.
May we lift up our hearts often throughout the day, longing for holiness and humility, and pray:
> **Jesus meek and humble of heart, make my heart like unto thine.**

Fine Dining: Are You Here for the Dishes or the Decor?
I’ve always divided London into two dining realms. With Covent Garden as the provisional center, restaurants that are showy and posh lie to the west, while going east brings more focus on food.
That’s my rule of thumb, at least within the maximum range of my long walks — the seven-mile span between Chelsea and Hackney.

FMJRA 2.0: No Joy At Fenway
Compiled by Wombat-socho
Well, at least we won the opener. The 1974 Senators began the season on the road against the Red Sox in Fenway Park. Jim Kaat went the distance for a 7-2 win in the opener, but neither Carl Morton nor Steve Renko could hold the BoSox bats in check in games 2 and 3, which were close losses—though a loss is still a loss.
We face the Royals this Tuesday.

Cazzu celebra en su concierto el Día de las Madres en Argentina
Julieta Emilia Cazzuchelli, conocida mundialmente como Cazzu, ofreció el sábado un espectáculo cargado de energía, emociones y empoderamiento. Frente a más de 7 mil asistentes, entre los que también se encontraban familias y niños, la “Nena Trampa” se mostró vulnerable, pero también feliz, sexy, segura de sí misma y agradecida por el apoyo y cariño incondicional del público.
“Latinaje en Vivo”, el tour con el que la artista argentina recorre distintos países, aterrizó en el Auditorio Banamex de Monterrey para dejar claro que la maternidad, el desamor y la sensualidad pueden coexistir en el mismo escenario.
A las 21:20 horas, Cazzu apareció entre luces y humo, dando inicio a un espectáculo teatralizado junto a cuatro bailarines, donde cada canción se vivió como una escena. Con temas como “Dolce”, “Piénsame”, “Mala Suerte”, “Balada Malvada”, “Engreído”, “Nena Trampa” y “Mucha Data”, la trapera fusionó ritmos que abarcaron desde el trap hasta el bolero, pasando por bachata, salsa, reguetón, cumbia, tango, merengue y corridos tumbados.
Además, los fans celebraron con ella el Día de las Madres al estilo argentino, ya que en Argentina ya era domingo 19 de octubre, día en que se festeja a las mujeres con hijos.
“Gracias por haber venido hasta acá a compartir conmigo. Aquí ahora en México son como las 10 (de la noche) y en Argentina ya es el otro día (domingo) y saben que hoy en Argentina es el día de las madres y como es el día de las madres argentinas (el concierto) se lo quiero dedicar a las mamás presentes aquí, se lo quiero dedicar a mi mamá que me acompañó a esta gira hermosa, a todas las mujeres de mi familia que me están viendo por algún lugar de internet”.
Durante las dos horas de espectáculo, el público se mostró receptivo, cantó con Cazzu, la ovacionó y la sorprendió con globos y soles amarillos cuando interpretó “Inti”, canción que le compuso a su hija de dos años. Visiblemente conmovida, Cazzu habló sobre su maternidad:
“Yo nunca había planeado ni sabía qué iba a ser de mí siendo mamá. Cuando me convertí en mamá me di cuenta que era verdad todo lo que decían de ser mamá. Que era espectacular y empiezas a ver la vida desde otro lugar, pero algo muy importante para mí desde que me convertí en mamá fue nunca perder mi esencia ni permitir que los demás me hagan sentir que mi manera de ser no era compatible con ser mamá.”
En ese tono de autenticidad, la artista resumió el espíritu de su show enalteciendo a las mujeres:
“Creo que este concierto Latinaje es un resumen de cómo somos las mujeres. Podemos ser las más dulces siendo mamás, también las más enojadas, ser sensuales, vivir nuestra sexualidad y la mejor manera de contrastar y explicar eso, que los mismos que tienen cuernitos levantan un sol y siento que eso es lo más bonito de reconocerse de ser mujer, que puedo serlo todo.”

Fascinating Background – The CIA Was Misleading Witkoff and Kushner on Key Intelligence About Hamas During Critical Phase of Peace Negotiations
A fascinating hour-long interview with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner sheds light on the backstory of the Israel-Hamas peace agreement in Gaza. During the discussion, Witkoff and Kushner detail the step-by-step process they followed as they engaged the leaders of Qatar, Turkey, and Egypt.
One particularly striking moment occurs when Witkoff reveals that the CIA was briefing both him and Kushner multiple times a day. However, the intelligence they received from the CIA was exactly the opposite of what the Emir of Qatar and the Presidents of Turkey and Egypt were telling them. In other words, the CIA intelligence was completely at odds with the reality on the ground.
**WATCH:** What Witkoff and Kushner are describing highlights precisely why “outside government” emissaries play a vitally necessary role in circumventing the control agenda of the U.S. Intelligence Community. This example is stunning in its magnitude, especially when considered within the importance of the moment.
On a positive note, with Witkoff making this candid public statement, we can now add a major data point to President Trump’s well-known skepticism toward the CIA. This aligns with previous assertions from figures like Marco Rubio and Tulsi Gabbard, who have expressed similar concerns about intelligence reliability.
The example of the CIA getting it wrong—and misleading the administration—has long-range ramifications that extend beyond the Hamas case. Given this context, it’s reasonable to feel optimistic that President Trump remains cautious about trusting CIA intelligence, particularly regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
This insight underscores the ongoing debate about intelligence transparency and reliability at the highest levels of government.

Avión de carga cae al mar tras salirse de la pista en Hong Kong
El accidente se registró hacia las 3:50 de la madrugada (21:50 GMT del domingo) y afectó al vuelo EK9788 de Emirates SkyCargo, operado por la aerolínea turca Air ACT Cargo. La aeronave involucrada fue un Boeing 747‑481 (BDSF) de matrícula TC‑ACF que procedía del aeropuerto Al Maktoum (DWC) en Dubái.
Los dos trabajadores que se encontraban en un vehículo fueron hallados por los equipos de rescate marítimo. Uno de ellos, de 30 años, fue declarado muerto en el lugar, mientras que el otro, de 41 años, falleció poco después en el Hospital North Lantau, próximo al aeródromo, según informaron medios locales.
### Tripulantes ilesos
Los cuatro tripulantes del carguero resultaron ilesos y fueron trasladados a centros médicos para observación. Unidades del Servicio Aéreo del Gobierno y de la policía marítima participaron en las labores de búsqueda y recuperación.
Por otro lado, bomberos y técnicos trabajaron para estabilizar la aeronave y evitar posibles fugas de combustible.
### Impacto en las operaciones
El incidente provocó el cierre temporal de la pista norte, considerada esencial para las operaciones de carga y vuelos de largo recorrido.
La Autoridad de Investigación de Accidentes Aéreos ha abierto una investigación para esclarecer las causas del siniestro. Según las primeras hipótesis, podría haberse producido una pérdida de control direccional tras el aterrizaje.
