THE CEASEFIRE HAS COMMENCED
The ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia took effect at 4:00am Moscow time on October 27, 2026.
Timing was accelerated two days ahead of schedule to protect the safety of civilians and to facilitate the delivery of critical humanitarian aid. The ceasefire’s geographic area has expanded beyond Oleshky, within the Kherson Region, to provide safe passage for the humanitarian convoys.
General Valery Gerasimov, Joint Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces has confirmed.
No. 2008 was a fast credit crisis: high-leverage borrowers, non-recourse loans that people could walk away from, and mortgage risk packaged and sold.
China’s setup is different. Household leverage is moderate and down payments are large. Mortgages are full recourse, so borrowers keep paying even when underwater.
It's closer to Japan in the 1990s: no single collapse, but a long period of falling asset prices.
