    Freightos Weekly Update: Attacks on Saudi Airports Disrupt Air Freight; China-to-Europe Air Freight Rates Fall

    The Freightos weekly update says Houthi attacks disrupted air freight operations at some Saudi airports, while rates from China to Northern Europe fell 7% last week to $3.58/kg. Rates on the lane were down 9% year over year, in contrast with a 33% year-over-year rise in the global air freight benchmark. The report says declining e-commerce volumes may be weighing on rates. Asia-to-Mediterranean ocean freight rates rose 7% last week to $3,804/FEU, possibly reflecting carriers’ efforts to raise rates as annual contract negotiations for 2027 begin.

    MI5 chief: Humanity is facing an adversary smarter than itself for the first time

    In his annual speech on security threats, MI5 chief Ken McCallum said humanity is facing an adversary “smarter than us” for the first time, one capable of thinking further ahead than humans. He said AI is intensifying the attack-and-defence contest and can generate propaganda and radicalization content tailored to specific individuals. Terrorists who tried to use AI to improve reconnaissance and attack methods have been arrested, and AI-powered drones pose new risks. Over the past decade, the number of threats from hostile states handled by MI5 has quadrupled, mainly involving Russia, Iran and China, with Russia remaining the foremost threat.

    Neuromorphic Sensor Market Forecast, 2026–2035: Demand for Ultra-Low-Power Edge AI Drives Growth

    IndexBox forecasts a compound annual growth rate of 18.2% for the neuromorphic sensor market from 2026 to 2035, with the market index reaching 520 in 2035 (2025=100). These sensors use an event-driven architecture to perform sensing and computing on a single chip, and the automotive and autonomous driving sectors account for about 32% of demand. Supply chain bottlenecks include access to specialized processes such as advanced packaging and stacked CIS. Asia-Pacific leads manufacturing, while the U.S. and Europe lead in IP and system design.

    The European Central Bank is monitoring AI’s impact on the euro area economy, employment and financial stability

    The European Central Bank is treating AI as a general-purpose technology and monitoring its impact on the euro area economy. So far, it has found no substantial effect on overall productivity or major changes in overall employment trends. The fourth-quarter 2025 Survey on the Access to Finance of Enterprises found that 64% of companies use AI experimentally or to a moderate extent, while only 7% use it extensively. Companies expect to allocate about 10% of their total investment to AI this year. The ECB said the global AI investment boom is pushing up long-term interest rates and materially tightening financial conditions in the euro area. It is closely monitoring AI-related financial and cyber risks.

    U.S. September CPI preview: Energy prices may push inflation higher

    U.S. September CPI data will be released Wednesday, and economists expect annual inflation to rise to 3.6%, up from 3.4% in August. Energy prices, especially gasoline costs, are the main driver. The average price at gas stations reached a record $4.33 last month, while core inflation is expected to be 2.5% year over year. If core inflation meets expectations, the Federal Reserve may leave interest rates unchanged at its meeting on the 28th of this month.

    Analysts say U.S.-Russia diesel deal is unlikely to significantly ease high U.S. diesel prices

    Analysts say the deal in which Trump lifted sanctions on Russian diesel shipments in exchange for supplies is limited in scale and unlikely to significantly lower U.S. diesel prices before the November midterm elections. Trump said the first shipment this month would be about 2.25 million barrels. Russia has pledged to supply about 3.75 million barrels at this stage, but no delivery schedule has been specified. Even if the larger amount were shipped entirely to the United States, it would cover only slightly more than one day of diesel demand. Future deliveries depend on Russian supply and an energy ceasefire, and shipping would take at least two weeks. The U.S. Energy Information Administration forecasts that diesel prices will remain above prewar levels at least through 2027.

    U.S. Justice Department accuses OpenAI engineer of installing eavesdropping device in executive conference room

    The U.S. Justice Department announced on October 13 that 35-year-old OpenAI engineer Abdulrahman Alfozan, a Saudi national, was arrested and charged with using a concealed device to intercept oral communications in an executive conference room at the company’s San Francisco office. If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. OpenAI said that after discovering the device, it used its own model to analyze its origin, confirmed that an employee had installed it several days earlier, fired the employee, and turned the matter over to the FBI. There was no indication that model weights, source code, or customer data had been improperly accessed or leaked.

    Iran steps up threats to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz

    The Institute for the Study of War said on October 13 that Iran appears to be targeting commercial vessels conducting ship-to-ship oil transfers in and near the Strait of Hormuz, seeking to disrupt energy shipments. The think tank assessed that Iran may intend to strengthen its control over the waterway and may be developing anti-ship missile capabilities. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations reported that at least three vessels were struck by unidentified projectiles the previous day; no party immediately claimed responsibility.

    Anthropic warns AI “worms” could spread from one smart device to another

    Anthropic says small AI models may be able to self-replicate across connected devices without human help, much like computer worms, in just a few months. Using the Kimwolf botnet, which infected more than 2 million devices, as a basis for its estimate, researchers say these AI worms could run on cheap, poorly secured consumer devices. They would replicate more slowly, over several days, and could be difficult to eliminate once established because they would have no central kill switch.

    Character.ai approached about 28 potential buyers and received only one nonbinding proposal

    Character.ai’s bankruptcy court declaration disclosed that, before bankruptcy, its sale process approached about 28 potential buyers and received only one proposal deemed nonbinding. Feedback pointed to litigation and regulatory burdens. Disney has prepaid $7.5 million of the $20 million transaction consideration, including a refundable $2 million deposit. Its offer covers a nonexclusive, perpetual license to some intellectual property and does not include the operating platform. The company plans to conduct a post-bankruptcy sale process lasting nearly six weeks. The latest closing date for the Disney transaction is December 17, 2026.

    Trump accuses the Houthis of trying to drive up oil prices ahead of the U.S. midterm elections

    On Tuesday, Trump accused Yemen’s Houthis of trying to drive up oil prices ahead of the U.S. midterm elections and warned that he would not forget their attacks on Saudi Arabia. Reuters reported that an attack targeting King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh had killed at least 13 people and injured more than 300, forcing the airport to close. The Houthis have also stepped up attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, raising concerns about disruptions to global oil supplies and shipping routes, as well as rising energy prices.
