Gold Moves Higher Ahead Of Fed Rate Decision While U.S.-Iran Standoff Continues

Gold rose 0.86% to $4,073.30 per ounce as investors positioned ahead of the Federal Reserve's rate decision amid continued U.S.-Iran tensions. Silver gained 0.22% to $54.460 per ounce, while WTI crude fell 1.73% to $100 as diplomatic efforts raised hopes of de-escalation despite reports of potential U.S. military action. Persistent geopolitical uncertainty and inflation concerns could support further safe-haven demand for gold, though Fed policy and a stronger dollar may limit gains.

'CryptoDad' on stablecoins, bitcoin's role in a portfolio and why he does not directly own any crypto

Former CFTC Chairman Chris Giancarlo says Bitcoin should be treated as a high-risk alternative asset, with major institutions recommending allocations of roughly 2% to 5% in long-term portfolios. Giancarlo argues Bitcoin's programmed scarcity could hedge against dollar debasement, while warning that crypto remains speculative and investors face scams; he also says stalled Clarity Act legislation leaves regulatory uncertainty unresolved. Institutional adoption and potential inflation-hedge demand could support Bitcoin over the long term, but regulatory uncertainty and investment risks may limit confidence.

Corn Futures Test Support As Harvest Progresses — Market Talk

Corn futures fell 0.9% on the CBOT, testing the $4.50-per-bushel support level as ongoing harvest progress adds to available supply. With 40% of the harvest still remaining, rising deliveries into commercial channels are adding seasonal pressure, while wheat fell 0.2% and soybeans declined 0.5%. Without stronger demand news, continued harvest-driven supply and fund selling could put further pressure on corn prices and challenge the $4.50 support level.

Analysts See Decline in U.S. Crude Oil Stockpiles

U.S. crude oil inventories are expected to edge down by 100,000 barrels to 412.4 million barrels, potentially stabilizing after three consecutive weeks of large withdrawals.

US energy firms to produce record natgas in 2026 as global demand soars

U.S. natural gas production is expected to reach a record 112.2 billion cubic feet per day in 2026 as LNG exports and data-center power demand drive consumption higher. The EIA projects production will rise from 107.6 bcfd in 2025, while EQT has agreed to acquire Range Resources in a $13 billion all-stock deal that would create the nation's largest gas producer. Rising demand could support natural gas prices and producer revenues, although record output could also limit price gains if supply growth outpaces consumption.

Russia oil exports through western ports forecast to fall in November, traders say

Russian seaborne crude exports from western ports are forecast to fall by 100,000–200,000 barrels per day in November as domestic refineries increase processing and diesel production. Loading delays of nearly three weeks at Novorossiysk, declining Russian oil output, and the seasonal end of Northern Sea Route navigation could further constrain shipments. Lower Russian export volumes could tighten global crude supply and support oil prices, although the November plans remain subject to revision amid ongoing supply uncertainty.
