- US Debt & Valuations: U.S. debt has skyrocketed to $34 trillion, while market valuations remain dangerously high, with the Buffett Indicator showing the stock market is 209% overvalued.

- NYC Hotel Vacancies & PMI: NYC hotel vacancies are set to skyrocket by 400%, and the Chicago PMI fell to 41.6 in October, indicating contraction in the manufacturing sector.
