Markets:

Before the opening bell: US stock futures rise early Friday, ahead of data releases on housing starts and building permits for October.

• A billionaire beef. Tech founder Michael Dell took a shot at old foe Carl Icahn, who has had multiple run-ins with Dell over his PC company. “During the last 10 years, Icahn Enterprises stock was down 80.7%, S&P 500 was up 155.9%,” Dell posted on X.

Tech:

• The fridge of the future. It has way thinner walls and more shelf space — all thanks to a new insulation material, announced by Whirlpool. It cuts the wall thickness by as much as 66%.

Business:

• Biden and Xi sought to pull away from deepening conflict. They failed. Despite some progress, deep differences remain. The Chinese leader even tried wooing US business leaders amid a moment of rare weakness for the Chinese economy.
