Malaysian palm oil futures fell for a third consecutive session, dropping 0.3% to 4,687 ringgit per metric ton despite strong export demand ahead of India's Diwali season.
October 1–25 exports rose an estimated 46.9%–67.7% month over month, while a stronger Malaysian ringgit and declining rival palm oil futures in Dalian added pressure.
Palm oil could remain under pressure if currency strength and weakness across competing edible oils outweigh robust export demand, although rising crude oil prices may support biodiesel-related demand.
Nearly 90% of large businesses surveyed by DBS are already using or testing tokenized money, signaling growing institutional adoption of blockchain-based payments and cash management.
The survey found 24% had deployed the technology at scale, while stablecoins led planned or current adoption at 63%, ahead of tokenized deposits at 53% and tokenized money market funds at 52%.
Broader corporate adoption could boost stablecoin usage and tokenized financial infrastructure, although regulatory uncertainty, security risks and integration challenges may slow progress.

GE Vernova reported third-quarter revenue of $12.64 billion, above the $11.99 billion estimate. Adjusted EBITDA was $1.94 billion versus an expected $1.68 billion, while earnings per share reached $4.81, compared with $1.64 in the same period last year.
The company raised its full-year revenue outlook to $46.5 billion-$47.5 billion from its prior $45.5 billion-$46.5 billion range. GE Vernova shares rose more than 3% in U.S. premarket trading following the results.

WSOT 2026 introduces dedicated multi-asset and AI-assisted trading tracks, following a 2025 edition that attracted 520,451 participants across 202 countries and regions.
The expanded competition could boost trading activity and engagement across Bybit's crypto and traditional-asset markets, although participation and prize-pool growth depend on eligibility and trading-volume conditions.
SUN.io completed its 52nd consecutive buyback and burn, permanently removing more than 7.23 million SUN tokens and pushing cumulative burns above 685.78 million, equivalent to approximately 3.44% of the total token supply.
The program is funded by protocol revenue from SunSwap, SunPump and SunX, while new integrations with Ave.ai, TokenPocket and Symbiosis aim to expand SunSwap's reach and liquidity access.
Continued token burns and ecosystem expansion could support SUN's long-term value, although sustained demand and revenue growth will remain important to translating reduced supply into price appreciation.
On-chain data cited in the source indicates Justin Sun accumulated $48.76 million of PEPE and now holds 11.8 trillion tokens. The reported average entry price is about $0.000004114 per token.
After PEPE broke above $0.000005, the holding's cited value rose to $59 million, with unrealized profit reported above $10.24 million. The position concentrates a large PEPE holding in one wallet, making any future profit-taking a point of focus for spot-market liquidity.
The Federal Reserve's policy decision and guidance on future interest rates could determine Bitcoin's next move, with potential tightening threatening to strengthen the dollar and increase selling pressure across cryptocurrencies.
The Fed is expected to hold rates unchanged, while Bitcoin is up 0.9% at $81,416; analysts say a more accommodative outlook could revive institutional allocations and improve liquidity expectations.
Hawkish signals could pressure Bitcoin further, while greater concern about economic slowing and the possibility of easier policy could support a recovery.
Gold and silver prices fell on India's MCX ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy decision, as uncertainty over interest rates, the US dollar and Treasury yields kept bullion markets under pressure.
December gold futures slipped 0.04% to ₹1.44 lakh per 10 grams, while December silver futures dropped 0.54% to ₹1.95 lakh per kg; the rupee's weakness near ₹95.18 per dollar could also raise India's imported gold costs.
The Fed's guidance and upcoming US inflation data could intensify bullion volatility, with higher yields potentially pressuring gold and silver while expectations of easier policy could support a recovery.
Caspian Pipeline Consortium plans to cut CPC Blend oil exports by 2% in November from October to about 6.4 million metric tons, signaling broadly stable shipments despite ongoing logistical challenges.
Exports are projected at 1.69 million barrels per day as Kazakhstan's oil output recovers, but record Black Sea freight rates and heightened security risks continue to pressure shipping costs.
The modest reduction could limit near-term supply growth, while renewed shipping disruptions or security threats could add further upside pressure to crude prices.
Markets face a critical 24-hour stretch as the Federal Reserve's expected hawkish hold, a possible Bank of Canada rate hike, major AI earnings and Britain's annual budget converge amid rising inflation and geopolitical risks.
Brent crude remains above $115 per barrel as renewed US strikes on Iran are reportedly under consideration, while AI stocks rally and SK Hynix plans to return $75 billion to shareholders.
Conflicting central-bank signals, persistent energy inflation and escalating Iran tensions could intensify volatility across currencies, equities and global markets.
Micron Technology shares are rising after SK Hynix reported record earnings, signaling strong demand for AI memory. The news highlights memory-chip suppliers as demand for AI-related memory products meets tight supply. Analysts favor Micron stock, while SK Hynix's record results provide the immediate catalyst for the sector.
A speculative Ethereum price scenario predicts ETH could reach $13,500 by January 1, 2027, potentially overtaking Bitcoin in market capitalization if institutional adoption of Ethereum-based Treasury settlement accelerates.
The article outlines a hypothetical tokenization catalyst involving U.S. Treasury securities settling on Ethereum, while ETH trades near $2,350 against Bitcoin at roughly $80,800 and faces $1.26 billion in October spot ETF outflows.
If institutional settlement demand materializes and ETH supply tightens, Ethereum could substantially outperform Bitcoin, but the flippening scenario remains highly speculative and depends on a major catalyst that has not been announced.
SK Hynix shares surged on record quarterly profit, lifting global memory stocks as investors grew optimistic about AI infrastructure demand and high-bandwidth memory chips.
SK Hynix jumped 10.8% in South Korea, while Samsung Electronics gained 11% and Micron rose 3.7%; separately, the U.S. and Russia are discussing potential oil deals, but no agreement has been finalized.
Strong memory earnings could support further gains in AI-related chip stocks, while the Fed's policy decision and uncertainty around potential U.S.-Russia oil agreements could drive volatility across markets.
Bitcoin's next major move could hinge on the Federal Reserve's policy decision, with markets focused on whether policymakers signal a more accommodative outlook or continued tightening.
The Fed is expected to hold interest rates unchanged, while Bitcoin is up 0.9% at $81,416 as investors assess the implications of slowing employment growth and moderating industrial demand.
A more hawkish signal could strengthen the dollar, lift Treasury yields and pressure cryptocurrencies, while greater concern about economic slowing could improve liquidity expectations and support Bitcoin's recovery.
India’s benchmark indices closed lower on October 28, with the Sensex falling 352.64 points to 73,246.03 and the Nifty slipping 0.22% below 22,700 as IT and oil and gas stocks led losses.
The IT and Oil & Gas sectors fell 2% each, while midcaps gained 0.4% and smallcaps rose 0.9% as investors weighed the upcoming US Federal Reserve decision and Brent crude near $115 per barrel.
Continued uncertainty around US monetary policy and elevated oil prices could pressure Indian equities, although relative strength in midcaps and smallcaps may help limit broader market weakness.
Biogen (NASDAQ: BIIB) narrowed its FY2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $15.95-$16.75 from $15.85-$16.85. The revised range remains above the $12.36 analyst estimate cited in the source. The correction identifies the guidance revision as the key new company-specific catalyst for BIIB.
The London Metal Exchange has delayed settlement of all physical contracts due on October 28 until the following day after a technical glitch disrupted trade records.
The Tuesday incident caused many trades to be recorded with incorrect prompt dates, prompting the exchange to postpone settlement.
The disruption could create short-term uncertainty for industrial metals market participants as the LME works through the settlement delay.
Malaysian palm oil futures ended lower as concerns over elevated inventories and expectations of strong October production weighed on prices.
The January Bursa Malaysia Derivatives contract fell 14 ringgit to 4,687 ringgit a ton, with trader David Ng identifying support at 4,650 ringgit and resistance at 4,800 ringgit.
Palm oil prices could remain under pressure if inventories stay elevated and export demand fails to strengthen.
Itaú Unibanco has become Brazil’s first bank to formalize its cryptocurrency brokerage and custody operations under the country’s new digital-asset rules, submitting its notification ahead of the compliance deadline.
The bank offers 15 cryptoassets, including Bitcoin, Ether and USDC, while Resolution 520 requires eligible financial institutions to notify the central bank and provide independent technical certification.
Itaú’s regulatory milestone could encourage broader institutional participation in Brazil’s crypto market, although providers that miss the deadline risk having to halt services.
Tokenised-stock plans are facing resistance from listed companies, creating a potential obstacle for platforms seeking to expand access to tokenised US equities.
Wells Fargo, Arm and Intuit reportedly objected to a planned OKX and Intercontinental Exchange venture, while the SEC's conditional exemption framework does not constitute regulatory endorsement of participating platforms.
Further issuer objections and uncertainty around shareholder rights, liquidity and corporate-action processing could slow adoption of tokenised stocks.
The Indian rupee weakened to 95.2200 per dollar as elevated oil prices intensified pressure on India's currency and local assets.
Brent crude climbed more than 1% to $115.30 per barrel following an attack on a Saudi refinery, while traders awaited the Fed's policy decision and priced in an 84% probability of a December rate hike.
Persistently high oil prices and a dollar-supportive Fed outlook could intensify rupee weakness and add pressure to Indian financial markets.
Asia's very low sulphur fuel oil crack surged to a more than four-year high, with the November VLSFO-Brent crack exceeding $29 per barrel amid volatile trading and expectations of tighter near-term supply.
VLSFO spot premiums climbed to about $30 per metric ton as stronger bids supported prices, while lower arbitrage volumes into November and December added to supply concerns.
Persistent supply tightness and regional disruptions could further support fuel oil refining margins, although rising inventories may provide some relief.
Vertiv Holdings (NYSE: VRT) raised its FY2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $7.15 from a prior range of $6.65-$6.75, compared with a $6.74 estimate. The company also lifted its FY2026 sales outlook to $14.650 billion from $14.000 billion, versus a $14.016 billion estimate.
The revised guidance places both projected adjusted earnings and sales above the cited estimates, making the FY2026 outlook update the key market catalyst for Vertiv shares.
Poland sold 1.945 million EU carbon permits at 87.84 euros per tonne in a spot auction on Wednesday.
The auction took place on EEX, with a cover ratio of 1.71, while the previous day's EU-wide auction cleared at 87.7 euros per tonne.
The auction results could help gauge demand for EU carbon allowances and may influence near-term price expectations in the carbon market.
South Korea’s Kospi surged 6.6% as SK Hynix’s stronger-than-expected earnings and planned shareholder payouts reignited demand for AI-related stocks.
SK Hynix jumped 11% after reporting 83.3 trillion won in operating profit, while the company said memory capacity is sold out through 2029 and shortages could persist through at least 2030.
Sustained memory demand and tight supply could support further gains in semiconductor stocks, although concerns about AI infrastructure funding may continue to weigh on sentiment.
SK hynix reported record operating profit, up 632%, driven by rising demand for AI memory. The result underscores the direct effect of AI-related memory demand on the company’s earnings. Analysts cited by the source consider SK hynix shares undervalued despite key risks, though one analyst prefers Micron or Samsung. No price, volume, capital-flow, or other trading data were provided.
China's net gold imports via Hong Kong surged more than 28% month over month in September, signaling stronger gold inflows into the world's top gold-consuming market.
Net imports reached 74.987 metric tons, up from 58.491 metric tons in August, according to Hong Kong Census and Statistics Department data.
Sustained Chinese import demand could support gold prices, although the data alone does not confirm a broader acceleration in buying.
Bitcoin climbed to $81,687 as Morgan Stanley strategist Mike Wilson said most of the broader market correction may already be over, strengthening hopes for a sustained recovery.
BTC found stronger bid liquidity around $79,000–$80,000, but resistance near $82,000 remains intact, while analysts continue to compare its weekly chart structure with the 2022 bear market.
A decisive break above $82,000 could strengthen bullish momentum, while continued rejection may leave Bitcoin trading within its broader $60,000–$80,000 accumulation range.
U.S. equity futures traded mixed ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest-rate decision and a pivotal round of Big Tech earnings, leaving investors cautious about the market's next move.

European shares edged lower as investors awaited the U.K.'s 2026 autumn budget and the Federal Reserve's interest-rate decision amid uncertainty over the economic outlook.
The STOXX 600 fell 0.2% to 642.74, while Brent crude rose more than 1% above $115 a barrel after Donald Trump left open the possibility of further U.S. strikes against Iran.
Budget uncertainty, the Fed's verdict and escalating geopolitical risks could intensify volatility across European equities and energy markets.
Oil prices climbed as markets priced in a greater risk of Middle East escalation after Yemen's Houthi militants said they targeted Saudi Arabia's largest oil refinery.
Brent crude rose 1.3% to $115.41 a barrel, while WTI gained 2% to $101.92, despite diplomatic efforts to promote dialogue between the U.S. and Iran.
Further regional attacks could sustain a geopolitical risk premium in crude, while a period without renewed strikes on Iran after the November 3 U.S. midterms could allow that premium to fade.
Indian stocks could rebound in November after the Nifty 50 entered oversold territory in October, but elevated crude prices and competition for capital from AI-linked markets could cap gains.
The Nifty 50 has lost about 13% year to date, while foreign investors reduced their index short positions from 267,000 to 221,000 contracts and Indian IT stocks surged 16.3% during October's derivatives series.
Oversold conditions and easing bearish positioning could support a technical recovery, but a sustained rally may require a break above 23,480 and improved market sentiment or foreign inflows.
The Federal Reserve rate decision is due at 21:00 Turkey time, placing Bitcoin in focus around the scheduled macro event.
The decision itself is only one part of the market signal. The accompanying statement and guidance may offer clues on future rate expectations, liquidity conditions and risk appetite. The key immediate question is how Bitcoin responds to the decision and any shift in expectations for future policy.
Global tech stocks rallied as investors awaited the Federal Reserve's policy decision, while U.S. Treasury yields climbed above 5% and Brent crude rose above $115 per barrel amid Middle East tensions.
Strong results from SK Hynix helped ease concerns over AI spending, lifting its shares 11% and the Kospi 6.6%, while Nasdaq futures gained 0.4% and Bitcoin traded around $81,400.
Continued AI earnings strength could support risk assets, but hawkish Fed signals, elevated yields and geopolitical energy disruptions could intensify volatility across equities and crypto.
Zinc faces a fierce bull-bear battle on the London Metal Exchange as record fund long and short positions collide with a tightening physical market and renewed price volatility.
The global zinc market is now forecast to face an 88,000-ton supply deficit in 2026, while China's 111,000 tons of refined zinc exports in August and September have helped replenish LME stocks, even as nearby supply remains tight.
Zinc could remain volatile with short-term prices supported by supply squeezes, while a projected return to a modest 25,000-ton surplus in 2027 could strengthen the bears if mine output recovers.
Bitcoin is on track for its weakest October in six years, down 4.2% for the month as U.S. buying demand weakens ahead of the Federal Reserve's rate decision.
CryptoQuant's Coinbase Premium stayed negative throughout October, while its Bull Score Index fell from 90 to 60 and analysts identified $73,000–$77,600 as a support zone.
A hawkish Fed signal or continued weak spot demand could pressure BTC toward lower support levels, while a more favorable policy outlook could help stabilize sentiment.
UBS raised its Brent crude oil forecast, now expecting prices to reach $110 per barrel by year-end, up from its previous $100 estimate.
The bank also increased its forecasts for March 2027 to $95 per barrel, June to $90 and September to $85, each $5 above its prior projection.
The upward revisions could signal expectations of sustained oil-price strength, potentially adding to energy-cost pressures if Brent tracks UBS's outlook.
Bitcoin has gained an average of 53.7% in the 12 months following three U.S. midterm elections, while the S&P 500 has averaged a 15.17% gain over the same period historically.
Bitcoin's post-midterm performance is based on just three comparable elections, and its rallies may reflect the four-year halving cycle rather than election outcomes; the S&P 500's figures cover data since 1950.
If historical patterns repeat after the November 3 elections, BTC and broader risk assets could rally, though limited Bitcoin data and political uncertainty make the outcome far from guaranteed.
Germany's DAX 40 edged lower around 25,550 as investors weighed mixed corporate earnings, rising oil prices and geopolitical risks ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy decision.
Symrise plunged nearly 10% on disappointing profitability expectations, while Deutsche Bank gained more than 3% after posting stronger-than-expected third-quarter profits.
Persistent geopolitical tensions, higher energy prices and uncertainty around the Fed could keep pressure on German equities, despite pockets of corporate earnings strength.
Gold prices slipped as rising oil prices fueled inflation concerns and raised the risk of a more hawkish Federal Reserve outlook, pressuring bullion ahead of the policy decision.
Spot gold fell 0.1% to $4,055.59 per ounce, while traders priced an 84% probability of a December rate hike and analysts lowered their 2026 gold price forecasts for a second consecutive quarter.
Stronger inflation data or hawkish Fed signals could deepen gold's downside, while softer PCE inflation and less hawkish commentary may trigger a recovery.
Gold futures slipped 0.2% to $4,066.50 an ounce as investors positioned ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest-rate decision, with a stronger dollar and higher oil prices weighing on the metal.
Markets do not expect a rate hike, but investors are watching for hawkish signals on the Fed's 2027 rate outlook and awaiting upcoming PCE inflation data.
A more hawkish Fed stance or persistent dollar strength could pressure gold further, while dovish signals may help stabilize prices.
Global tech stocks extended their rally ahead of the Federal Reserve's October decision, while Treasury yields climbed and Brent crude traded above $115 a barrel amid Middle East tensions.
Markets priced a 90.6% probability of the Fed holding rates steady, while strong SK Hynix results lifted its shares 11% and Nasdaq futures gained 0.4%; Bitcoin traded around $81,400 as the US dollar strengthened and gold edged toward $4,000.
The Fed's guidance and upcoming Microsoft and Alphabet earnings could determine whether the tech rally continues or rising yields and geopolitical risks pressure risk assets.
Jack Dorsey warns that Bitcoin would fail its original mission if it becomes merely digital gold rather than functioning as everyday peer-to-peer money.
In a January 16, 2025 interview, the Block co-founder argued that nation-state Bitcoin reserves may benefit governments without necessarily benefiting Bitcoin, emphasizing permissionless payments and the original white paper's vision of electronic cash.
His comments could reinforce debate over Bitcoin's long-term utility as a payment network versus its role as a store of value.
Global stocks rose as renewed enthusiasm for artificial intelligence lifted markets ahead of earnings from Microsoft and Alphabet, while investors prepared for a packed slate of central bank decisions. MSCI's All-World index gained 0.2%, US stock futures edged higher, and South Korea's Kospi surged 6%, while Brent crude climbed 1.2% to $115.24 a barrel amid renewed Middle East supply concerns. Strong AI earnings could extend the rally, but disappointing returns on heavy AI investments or hawkish central bank signals could trigger volatility across equities and currencies.
Euro zone government bond yields climbed as renewed oil supply concerns intensified inflation fears, with French 10-year yields rising 4.2 basis points to 4.9503% and German 10-year yields reaching 3.3684%. Brent crude gained 1.3% to $115.40 per barrel following an attack on a Saudi refinery, while investors awaited the European Central Bank's rate decision amid concerns about energy-driven inflation and French fiscal risks. Persistently high oil prices and hawkish central bank signals could push bond yields higher and increase pressure on French sovereign debt.
The Philippines is negotiating oil-storage arrangements with Saudi Arabia, Russia, the United States and other countries to protect itself against fuel price spikes and supply disruptions linked to the Iran war. The fuel-import-dependent nation currently holds 55 days of fuel inventories and plans to build its first government-owned strategic oil storage tank in Bataan next year, targeting reserves equivalent to 60 days of demand over time. These efforts could strengthen energy security, while continued Middle East disruptions and El Niño-related power shortages could sustain upward pressure on oil demand and fuel prices.
Securitize has added the Stellar blockchain to its supported networks as institutional demand for tokenized real-world assets continues to grow. The company, which manages BlackRock's BUIDL tokenized money-market fund, joins an ecosystem already supporting Ethereum, Solana and Avalanche, while Stellar ranks as the fourth-largest ecosystem for tokenized real-world assets according to Securitize's CEO. The expansion could strengthen Stellar's position in institutional tokenization and increase demand for blockchain-based financial products.
UK government bond yields climbed as surging oil prices revived inflation concerns ahead of the UK budget and the Federal Reserve's interest-rate decision, with 10-year gilt yields rising 2.6 basis points to 5.367%. Brent crude gained 1.2% to $115.20 per barrel amid fears of renewed US attacks on Iran and potential energy supply disruptions, while sterling weakened against the dollar. Persistently high oil prices and hawkish Fed signals could intensify pressure on government bonds and currencies, while a cautious UK budget could help stabilize gilts and support sterling.
ADNOC Trading, TotalEnergies Trading and Chevron are poised to win India's 2027 term LPG import tender, according to market participants, potentially securing a major supply contract with Indian state-owned importers. The tender covers around 2.75 million metric tons of LPG for 2027, with Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum seeking four very large gas carrier cargoes per month. The expected awards could strengthen these traders' positions in India's LPG supply market and shape the country's import sourcing for 2027.
BigBear.ai CEO Mandy Long warned Tuesday that generative AI lets attackers plan and carry out attacks with fewer safeguards, less time and fewer resources. The warning underscores cybersecurity risks as AI broadens malicious actors' capabilities. The supplied source provided no market-price, volume, flow or trading-activity data for BigBear.ai or CRWDSTOCK.
The Bank of Thailand is likely to hold its policy rate at 1.00% through the end of 2026 before potentially resuming monetary easing in 2027, according to Capital Economics. The central bank's primary concern is Thailand's weak economy, which has been hit by rising global energy prices and has benefited less from AI-related exports than some other Asian economies. A future rate cut could support Thailand's economic activity, but prolonged weakness and elevated energy prices may complicate the outlook.
U.S. optical communications stocks rose broadly by more than 2% in premarket trading on October 28, spanning semiconductor, optical-component and networking companies tied to AI data-center connectivity.
Names reported up more than 2% included AXT Inc., MaxLinear, Credo Technology, Coherent, Applied Optoelectronics, Viavi Solutions, Ciena, Marvell Technology, Astera Labs, Corning and Lumentum.
The broad participation puts the AI data-center connectivity chain in focus rather than isolating the move to a single company. Regular-session follow-through and company-specific catalysts remain key signals for the group.
U.K. gilt yields rise as climbing oil prices revive inflation concerns, with 10-year yields reaching 5.367% and Brent crude advancing 1.2% to $115.20 a barrel.
Investors await the U.K. budget and the Debt Management Office’s 2026-2027 financing remit, while reports of potential renewed U.S. attacks on Iran raise fears of energy supply disruptions.
Further oil gains could intensify inflation pressures and put additional upward pressure on government bond yields if energy supply risks escalate.
German spot electricity prices surged 29.2% to €321/MWh, reaching their highest level since December 2024 as wind power supply is expected to plummet.
French spot electricity prices also climbed 13.6% to €271.50/MWh in early Wednesday trading, according to LSEG data.
If wind supply continues to fall, European power prices could face further upward pressure, intensifying energy-cost concerns.
SK Hynix (SKHY) shares rose 2.78% in premarket trading after the company reported third-quarter revenue of $78.23 billion and an 80% operating margin. The earnings figures are the stated catalyst for the premarket move. The development directly concerns SK Hynix stock, represented in the supplied context as SKHYSTOCK.
Aluminium prices rose in London as tightening supply conditions and a broader risk-on mood supported the metal, with LME three-month aluminium gaining 0.58% to $3,105 per ton. LME aluminium was supported by a $27.64-per-ton backwardation and warehouse withdrawals of 3,500 tons, while SHFE-monitored stocks fell more than 10% last week to 212,858 tons. Persistent supply constraints and improving risk appetite could continue to support aluminium prices, although shifting market sentiment may limit further gains.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $176 million in net inflows on Tuesday, extending their rebound to two consecutive trading days and lifting Bitcoin alongside improving market sentiment.
Two-day Bitcoin ETF inflows reached $286 million, while the Crypto Fear & Greed Index rose to 51 and BTC traded around $80,818, up 1.6% over 24 hours.
Continued ETF inflows could support further Bitcoin recovery, but persistent Ether ETF outflows and sentiment remaining in neutral territory signal uneven demand across crypto markets.
