In late October 2026 I posted a series of X updates that captured a snapshot of U.S. housing price gaps, equity‑market volatility, health‑insurance cost trends, Turkish monetary policy, and the latest corporate cash‑flow results for Meta and Tesla.

Miami housing prices were down **-2 %** below their recent highs.

U.S. family health‑insurance premiums rose from **$6k** in 1999 to $28 k in 2026.

That represents a **387 %** cumulative increase (≈6.0 % annualised).

Turkey’s central bank cut its policy rate by 100 bps to **36 %** for the sixth time in the cycle.

Meta reported **‑$2.1 bn** free‑cash‑flow in Q3 2026, the first negative quarter since going public.

AI‑infrastructure spending hit **$34.9 bn** in Q3 2026, an 80 % YoY jump.
