The rally was sparked by the <strong>Democratic Party securing control<\/strong> of both the U.S. House and Senate, which investors believe will protect and expand electric vehicle (EV) and clean energy subsidies.<\/p>\n<p>The stock&#39;s performance was further bolstered by the company&#39;s <strong>Q3 2026 earnings<\/strong>, which reported an operating profit of <strong>KRW 407.8 billion<\/strong>. This figure more than doubled market expectations of <strong>KRW 191.3 billion<\/strong>, driven largely by massive demand for energy storage system (ESS) batteries used in <strong>AI data centers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Black Sea Shipping Under Fire<\/h2>\n<p>The Russian Defence Ministry confirmed its forces struck <strong>three cargo ships<\/strong> and a tanker in the Black Sea over the last 48 hours. Moscow alleged the vessels, including a container ship in <strong>Odesa<\/strong> and another in <strong>Chornomorsk<\/strong>, were delivering Western military equipment and &quot;dual-use&quot; cargo to the Ukrainian armed forces.<\/p>\n<p>These strikes are part of a broader escalation that has seen at least <strong>twelve merchant ships<\/strong> targeted by drones in recent weeks. The attacks have moved dangerously close to <strong>NATO territory<\/strong>, with one civilian vessel reportedly sunk just outside Bulgarian waters, prompting the alliance to increase its maritime patrol and radar presence in the region.<\/p>\n<h2>Coinbase Flags Polkadot (DOT) Network Delays<\/h2>\n<p>Coinbase (<a href=\"\/stock\/COIN\">COIN<\/a>) has issued a status alert regarding possible delays for <strong>Polkadot (DOT)<\/strong> transfers. The exchange noted that both <strong>sends and receives<\/strong> on the DOT network may experience significant lag times due to ongoing network synchronization issues.<\/p>\n<p>The platform emphasized that <strong>buys, sells, and fiat withdrawals<\/strong> remain fully operational and that all user funds are safe. This incident follows a series of recent technical disruptions on the exchange, including a 34-minute outage for the <strong>Data Network (DATA)<\/strong> token and banking partner issues affecting users in <strong>India<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>COP31 Electrification Pledge Faces Credibility Test<\/h2>\n<p>At the <strong>COP31 climate summit<\/strong> in Antalya, Turkey, negotiators are deadlocked over the <strong>&quot;35-by-35&quot; Global Electrification Pledge<\/strong>. The initiative, championed by <strong>Turkey and Australia<\/strong>, aims to increase electricity\u2019s share of global energy consumption to <strong>35% by 2035<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>However, a rift has emerged as several nations and environmental groups argue the pledge lacks <strong>credibility<\/strong> without a mandatory requirement for the new power to come from <strong>renewable sources<\/strong>. Critics fear that without strict &quot;clean&quot; definitions, the shift toward electrification could inadvertently increase reliance on <strong>coal and gas<\/strong> in developing regions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Samsung SDI (006400) shares jumped over 11% following U.S. midterm election results that favored pro-clean-energy policies,
