Bitcoin climbed as much as 2.4% to $84,737 as rebounding technology stocks revived risk appetite across financial markets.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted more than $549 million in net inflows over October 19 and 20, while Ether gained 3.7% and Solana advanced more than 4.6%.
Sustained ETF demand and improving tech sentiment could support further crypto gains, though renewed weakness in AI-linked stocks may pressure digital assets.
Oil prices hovered below $98 a barrel on Wednesday after briefly touching $100, as recovering Middle Eastern supply weighed on the market.
Crude flows through the Strait of Hormuz have surpassed pre-war levels, while Saudi Arabia’s crude exports rose 7.9% in August to their highest level since March.
Recovering supply could pressure crude prices further, although persistent Middle East tensions and record-high Persian Gulf freight rates may limit the downside.
U.S. natural gas prices are starting the heating season about 19% below last year, potentially easing winter heating costs for tens of millions of American households.
The EIA estimates natural-gas heating bills could fall 9% to an average of $640, supported by record domestic production, ample inventories, and expectations for a mild winter in much of the country.
Rising production and additional gas supplies could put further downward pressure on natural gas prices this winter, despite elevated energy costs elsewhere.
Meta's CEO said Muse agents have reached 10 million users in the U.S. and Canada. On a conference call, the company said it is targeting billions of users and higher app ARPU. The update underscores Meta's effort to scale its agent product and monetize engagement across its applications.
Stocks rallied as strong SpaceX earnings eased concerns about the profitability of artificial intelligence investments, helping restore investor risk appetite. Treasury yields rose as safe-haven demand weakened, while the U.S. dollar edged higher and oil futures slipped slightly amid reports of recovering Strait of Hormuz flows. The earnings-driven rebound could support broader equity sentiment and reduce near-term fears of an AI-sector shakeout, though profitability concerns may persist.

The release is cited as the catalyst for IBM shares, and the title says the stock jumped after Q3 results exceeded expectations. No further details were provided on earnings figures, share-price gains, revenue, profit, guidance, or trading volume.
Canola futures suffered sharp weekly losses as Prairie harvest progress and fund selling intensified pressure on Canadian oilseed prices, with November canola dropping C$39.70 per tonne to C$772. Manitoba's harvest reached 92% by October 20, while November and January contracts fell below key moving averages; farmer selling restraint provided some support, and January canola's potential rebound level was identified at C$777 per tonne. Prices could face further downside pressure if fund liquidation continues, although farmer holding behavior and technical support may help stabilize the market.
Meta Platforms (META) is scheduled to report third-quarter financial results after Wednesday’s closing bell. The report is characterized as a “Q3 Double Beat” and cites the company saying, “We’re seeing velocity across the board.” The supplied context provides no revenue, earnings, guidance, share-price, trading-volume, or other market figures.
Lam Research shares fell after the company reported a narrow Q1 earnings beat. The available information does not include the earnings figures, revenue results, guidance, or the size of the share-price decline. The event focuses on Lam Research's Q1 report and the market reaction after its release.
U.S. stocks rallied as stronger-than-expected SpaceX earnings eased concerns about AI infrastructure profitability and lifted semiconductor shares. The Nasdaq Composite gained 1.05%, the S&P 500 rose 0.58%, and SpaceX shares climbed 7.8% after earnings growth exceeded Wall Street expectations. Continued strength in AI earnings could support further gains in technology stocks, although concerns about heavily indebted cloud-computing companies may limit the rally.
Tether has led a pre-seed funding round in Bolivian fintech Peso to expand USDT payment infrastructure across Latin America. Peso already supports USDT payments through Yango's food delivery service in Bolivia and offers QR payments, merchant point-of-sale services and banking-linked virtual accounts, while Tether did not disclose the investment amount. The expansion could accelerate USDT adoption for everyday payments and financial services in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia and Argentina amid continued demand for dollar-denominated alternatives.
Canadian canola futures fell sharply as widespread Prairie harvesting and commodity-fund selling drove prices lower during the week ended Oct. 21. November canola dropped C$39.70 to C$772 per tonne, while January futures lost C$39.10 to C$785.50, with both contracts falling below key moving averages. Canola could face further downside if fund liquidation continues, although farmers holding their positions and a potential technical rebound near C$777 for January futures may provide support.
Chicago wheat and corn futures hit three-month lows as an advancing U.S. harvest and renewed U.S.-Russia diplomacy over Ukraine weighed on grain prices. CBOT wheat fell 15 cents to $6.28¼ per bushel, while soybeans slipped 3 cents to $12.45¼ and corn edged up 1¼ cents to $4.63¼. Continued harvest progress and the possibility of resumed grain shipments from the Black Sea region could keep wheat and soybean prices under pressure, despite tightening supply balances or stronger demand.
President Donald Trump’s White House cybercrime roundtable avoided explicitly mentioning cryptocurrency or digital assets, despite expectations that foreign crypto scams would be a focus. Trump said cybercrime cost Americans more than $20 billion in 2025, while federal officials froze $1 billion in cybercurrency tied to foreign scammers and prevented another $1.6 billion in losses. The omission could intensify scrutiny of the administration’s approach to crypto regulation and enforcement, though the event alone does not establish a policy shift.
U.S. natural gas futures fell 5.8% to $2.790/mmBtu, extending their losing streak to four sessions as mild near-term weather forecasts dampened heating demand expectations. Production restrictions are tightening supply balances, while Thursday's EIA report is expected to show a 10th consecutive below-normal storage build, narrowing the inventory surplus to 35 Bcf from 45 Bcf. Natural gas prices could remain under pressure if mild weather persists, although tighter inventories and production constraints may limit further downside.
Meta Platforms said it expects fourth-quarter sales of $73.000 billion to $76.000 billion, compared with analysts' estimate of $73.736 billion. The guidance range includes the consensus estimate and sets a new benchmark for the company's fourth-quarter revenue expectations.
U.S. stocks closed higher Wednesday as a technology rebound and SpaceX's better-than-expected Q3 results lifted investor sentiment, easing concerns about AI sustainability.
The S&P 500 gained 0.6%, the Nasdaq Composite rose 1.1%, and SpaceX surged 7.8% after beating earnings and revenue expectations, while Tesla climbed 3.4% ahead of its quarterly results.
Strong technology earnings could extend the market rebound, though upcoming results and lingering AI sustainability concerns may drive further volatility.
CBOT soybean futures fell Wednesday as dry weather accelerated the US harvest, with expectations for a record-large crop intensifying supply pressure.
November soybeans (SX26) closed 3 cents lower at $12.45-1/4 per bushel, while December soyoil dropped 0.76 cent to 65.97 cents per pound.
Continued harvest progress and potentially abundant US supplies could keep pressure on soybean prices, while upcoming export sales data may influence market direction.
The Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index preliminarily closed down 2.3%, with losses spread across major China ADRs rather than concentrated in one company.
XPeng fell 5.6%, Hesai dropped 5.5%, Pony AI declined 4.2%, Alibaba lost 3.9%, and JD.com and Li Auto each fell 3.6%. Among ETFs, KWEB preliminarily fell 2.6%, while CQQQ declined 1.1%.
Not all China-linked names fell: GDS and 21Vianet each gained 1.1%, while Chagee rose 3.8%. The session put China ADR risk appetite in focus, with performance in data-center and consumer names providing a contrasting signal to the broader declines.
Dolomite has added $100 million in Bitcoin-backed BTCcx collateral to its live lending and borrowing markets, expanding institutional access to DeFi liquidity while keeping the underlying BTC in custody.
Concrete's BTCcx is backed 1:1 by Bitcoin held at BitGo, but only Concrete can borrow against the collateral, and liquidations require offchain custody settlement.
The integration could accelerate institutional Bitcoin-backed lending, though counterparty concentration and reliance on custody processes may limit broader adoption.
CBOT corn futures edged higher after hitting a three-month low, with expectations of a record-large US harvest and fund liquidation weighing on the market. Favorable Midwest harvesting weather is expected to continue through at least Friday, while US-Russia-Ukraine diplomatic talks raised hopes of renewed grain shipments. Continued harvest progress and potential improvements in Black Sea shipping could pressure corn prices despite the modest rebound.
Theta Network's EdgeCloud has partnered with Alibaba Cloud to make Qwen AI models available to Web3 developers through its decentralized GPU network. The integration includes Qwen3.8-Max and Qwen3.8-Flash, expanding access to AI models while potentially increasing demand for EdgeCloud computing resources. The partnership could strengthen Theta's AI infrastructure offering and support demand for THETA if adoption and compute usage grow.
ZKsync has introduced Prividium Commander, a control plane designed to open its institutional digital asset platform to businesses without requiring them to abandon their existing infrastructure. The product lets institutions operate digital asset services under their own rules, while ZKsync says details on the economic implications for ZK will follow. Broader institutional access could strengthen ZKsync's ecosystem, but the token's potential impact remains uncertain until economic details emerge.
Keeta has launched nine fiat-backed stablecoins on its mainnet, enabling fiat-denominated value transfers and settlement across the network. Issued by licensed money transmitter Bivo, KBUSD, KBEUR, KBJPY, KBCNY, KBGBP, KBCAD, KBMXN, KBAED, and KBHKD are each backed 1:1 by funds held in regulated financial accounts. The launch could expand Keeta's payment and settlement capabilities while boosting stablecoin adoption across multiple currencies.
Mexican stocks climbed 1.35% to their highest level since May, supported by strong corporate earnings and improving retail sales, even as the peso plunged to an 11-month low. August retail sales rose 1.2% month over month and 3.3% year over year, while the peso weakened 1.48% against the US dollar amid trade uncertainty and dovish central bank signals. Continued earnings strength could support Mexican equities, but trade tensions and currency weakness may intensify market volatility.
Marriott is headed for a 10th straight record gain as the AI-agent narrative divides travel stocks. Hotel shares are rising on expectations that AI agents could direct bookings straight to hotel operators. Booking and Expedia are falling amid concerns that direct bookings could reduce online travel agencies' role. Markets are focused on the widening split between hotel companies and online booking platforms as AI-driven travel search and booking evolve.
Oil prices ended mixed as continued attacks on shipping in the Persian Gulf region offset optimism about crude flows through the Strait of Hormuz and alternative routes. December WTI fell 0.7% to $97.15 a barrel, while Brent settled nearly unchanged at $108.82; U.S. crude inventories dropped by a larger-than-expected 3.1 million barrels, but distillate stocks unexpectedly increased by 1.7 million barrels. WTI and Brent could remain volatile as shipping disruptions and conflicting inventory signals complicate the outlook for oil supply.
Kansas City December hard red winter wheat futures fell 18 cents to $6.73 a bushel, hitting their lowest level since July 10 as prices extended a decline lasting more than three months. Southern Plains cash basis bids were mostly unchanged, while weak futures prices discouraged farmers from selling as they focus on planting the 2027 crop. Wheat could face continued pressure if futures remain weak, although limited farmer selling may constrain available supplies.
Bitcoin derivatives open interest has climbed to $23.4 billion as crypto prices recover, signaling renewed trader participation and growing leveraged positioning. Santiment reports combined open interest of roughly $41.6 billion across Bitcoin, Ethereum at $15.5 billion, and Solana at $2.7 billion, while Bitcoin remains below its September reading of $25.84 billion. Rising participation could support the recovery, but expanding leverage may increase the risk of cascading liquidations if prices reverse.
CBOT wheat futures fell 2.3% to $6.28¼ a bushel as renewed efforts to negotiate an end to the Russia-Ukraine war encouraged traders to unwind long positions tied to supply-chain risks. U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff met with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss a possible peace deal, while escalating Black Sea hostilities could reduce Ukraine's 2026/27 grain exports by 5.1 million metric tons to 33 million tons, according to SovEcon. Wheat futures could face further downside pressure if peace prospects continue to unwind risk premiums, although worsening Black Sea disruptions may limit losses.
SpaceX shares surged after revenue jumped 161% year over year to $14.58 billion, driven by explosive growth in its AI business and continued expansion of Starlink.
Its Super Intelligence division generated $7.6 billion in revenue, up 830%, while Starlink revenue climbed 69% to $5.2 billion; meanwhile, Netflix fell 4.79% and oil benchmarks remained mixed amid geopolitical uncertainty.
SpaceX could attract further investor interest if AI growth continues, while oil and gold may remain sensitive to geopolitical developments and shifting interest-rate expectations.
Oil futures settled mixed as recovering Middle East export flows competed with persistent shipping threats and geopolitical risks around the Strait of Hormuz, with WTI falling 0.7% to $97.15 a barrel while Brent edged up to $108.82.
Regional oil shipments exceeded prewar levels at more than 24 million barrels a day, but Middle East refined-product exports remained well below prewar volumes and attacks continued to threaten energy infrastructure and navigation.
Crude prices could face downward pressure if U.S.-Iran diplomacy delivers tangible de-escalation, while renewed shipping disruptions and persistently tight diesel supplies could sustain the geopolitical risk premium.
CME live cattle futures gained 0.4% to $2.3105 a pound as rising beef prices and seasonal holiday buying supported the market.
Wholesale buyers, including grocery stores and restaurants, are stocking up on premium beef cuts ahead of December holidays, while lean hog futures fell 1.8% to 67.95 cents a pound.
Live cattle futures could receive further support if holiday demand sustains wholesale beef prices, though the market remains sensitive to boxed beef price movements.
Bitcoin options positioning is heavily tilted bullish, with fewer than 5% of put options carrying strike prices above $84,000 as BTC trades near $84,500.
Deribit data shows a put-to-call ratio of 0.70 and a major call concentration at $95,000, while total options open interest stands near $40 billion.
Bitcoin could accelerate toward $95,000 if hedging flows fuel a gamma squeeze, but crowded bullish positioning and limited downside protection could amplify a sudden correction.
Chicago wheat futures fell 2.3% to $6.28¼ a bushel as traders continued unwinding long positions amid renewed efforts to negotiate an end to the Russia-Ukraine war.
Wheat led the grain market lower, while soybean futures slipped 0.2% and corn gained 0.5%; improving harvest weather and continued position-cutting weighed on sentiment.
Wheat could face further pressure if peace negotiations reduce supply-chain risk premiums, although escalating Black Sea hostilities and potential Ukrainian export cuts could limit downside.
Gene Munster said SpaceX’s strong Q3 AI compute results are good news for neoclouds, citing robust demand and arguing that oversupply concerns are misplaced. The comments relate directly to AI-focused cloud infrastructure providers, with IREN and TeraWulf reportedly rebounding. The focus is whether demand for AI compute capacity remains strong as investors assess the neocloud sector.
Solana’s Alpenglow network overhaul is live, replacing the Tower BFT voting system Solana has used since 2020 with the Votor validator voting system.
The upgrade targets roughly 150-millisecond transaction finality, positioning settlement at speeds relevant to high-frequency trading use cases. Alpenglow is described as Solana’s biggest network overhaul since 2020.
Key areas to monitor are network stability, validator participation and whether on-chain high-frequency trading adoption develops following the transition.
Silicon Data plans to launch AI compute-price futures with CME Group as early as next month, creating a potential new way to trade the AI boom through Nvidia GPU rental prices.
The contracts would track monthly rental prices for Nvidia's H100 and B200 chips, but the launch was delayed after the CFTC extended its review by 45 days, citing concerns including market manipulation and liquidity.
If approved and adopted, compute futures could help companies hedge AI infrastructure costs while giving traders a more direct way to bet on rising or falling demand for computing power.
A potentially strong El Niño could disrupt coffee, sugar and cocoa production worldwide, raising the risk of higher prices as extreme weather threatens crop yields.
El Niño typically peaks between November and January, while diesel prices are up nearly 75% year over year and fertilizer prices roughly 20%, adding pressure to agricultural producers.
Coffee, sugar and cocoa futures could face renewed upside pressure if droughts, heatwaves and flooding materially tighten supplies, although favorable rainfall could limit production losses.
Arabica coffee futures climbed 1.6% to $3.1615 per pound, trading near a six-week high as limited exchange stocks and declining inventories in major destination markets supported prices.
ICE arabica stocks stood at 239,748 bags, with traders also monitoring Brazil's upcoming presidential election for potential effects on the currency and farmer sales; cocoa gained while sugar edged lower.
Arabica prices could remain supported by tight available stocks, although improving Brazilian crop flows may ease supply concerns.
A drone strike hit a Saudi Aramco oil facility and killed two people, according to Saudi state media SPA.
The incident places renewed focus on the security of critical Saudi oil infrastructure. The supplied information does not confirm any impact on oil output, shipping, or facility operations.

Belgium's Doel 4 nuclear reactor is scheduled to go offline on October 24, with a planned restart on November 1, 2026.
The 1,026 MW reactor is part of Belgium's seven-reactor nuclear fleet, which has almost 6 GW of combined capacity.
The planned outage could tighten Belgian electricity supply and support power prices if replacement generation is insufficient.
SpaceX reported Q3 2026 revenue of $14.58 billion, up 161% year-over-year, as Bitcoin moved toward $84,600 amid improved risk sentiment following the earnings release.
The company posted $4.4 billion in net income and holds 18,712 BTC valued at approximately $1.573 billion, linking its corporate performance directly to Bitcoin price fluctuations.
SpaceX's strong earnings and substantial Bitcoin treasury could support bullish sentiment around BTC, although the reported correlation does not guarantee further gains.
Crude oil prices have become a dominant driver of stock market movements, with their negative correlation to equities reaching its worst level in roughly three decades, according to Schwab's Kevin Gordon.
Gordon said elevated energy costs may increasingly pressure consumer spending, while a significant oil price decline could lower yields and help trigger a stock market rebound.
Persistent oil supply constraints and elevated Treasury yields could continue weighing on equities, although recovering cyclical sectors and small-cap stocks may offer signs of improving market breadth.
Blackstone's David Foley sees investment opportunities in U.S. power grid bottlenecks as rising electricity demand and infrastructure delays strain supply expansion.
Foley estimates AI and data centers account for about one-third of annual electricity demand growth, while U.S. natural gas demand, including exports, could rise 22% over five years.
Grid equipment manufacturers, engineering firms and natural gas producers could benefit from infrastructure investment and growing power needs, although permitting delays and turbine manufacturing limits may constrain expansion.
Circle Internet Group (CRCL) shares rose Wednesday after the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency finalized its GENIUS Act rule, according to the supplied summary. The rule’s implementation timeline and a new Needham price target were cited as key developments. Bitcoin also gained, though no price or percentage figures were provided. The update focuses on GENIUS Act regulatory implementation, its relevance to Circle, and the disclosed analyst target.
Crude oil prices moved lower as improving Strait of Hormuz shipping traffic and reports of progress toward a potential U.S.-Iran peace deal eased supply disruption concerns.
WTI December crude fell $0.69, or 0.71%, to $97.13 per barrel, while U.S. crude inventories dropped 3.061 million barrels according to the EIA.
Further progress on peace negotiations and sustained recovery in Hormuz traffic could pressure oil prices, although geopolitical risks and declining inventories may limit the downside.
Nebius (NBIS) says it faces less debt risk than CoreWeave as concerns grow over AI spending and neocloud financing. Its chief revenue officer said Nebius has low debt and is receiving increasing upfront customer payments, which it says helps shield it from debt-related risks in the sector. The comments highlight financing structures among AI infrastructure providers, including CoreWeave (CRWV).
Rocket Lab (RKLB) shares rose Wednesday as space stocks gained after SpaceX reported third-quarter results. The provided context cites SpaceX’s Q3 results as the catalyst for the sector move, but gives no specific RKLB price change, trading volume, financial data, or details from SpaceX’s results.
SpaceX reported third-quarter net profit of $4.4 billion, above the market expectation of $1.88 billion, while revenue rose 161% year on year. Its shares were up as much as 12.4% intraday on Wednesday.
Credit-risk indicators also rose as the company said it would continue investing heavily. The spread on SpaceX’s 6.6% bond due 2046 widened by 9 basis points to 264 basis points, while five-year credit default swaps briefly reached 232.6 basis points and repeatedly set highs during the month.
Chief Financial Officer Bret Johnsen said SpaceX will prioritize computing capacity for its superintelligence unit, as well as Starlink broadband and mobile operations, and is in talks with multiple debt-capital sources. The company issued $25 billion in bonds in June. Previous reports said it was discussing $40 billion in financing to buy Nvidia chips. Johnsen said SpaceX plans to maintain an investment-grade credit rating.
Grayscale announced that eligible investors can contribute crypto assets directly in kind for shares in selected investment products, bypassing the need to convert tokens into cash first. The offering spans ten products covering Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Chainlink, Dogecoin, Avalanche, Sui, Hyperliquid and Zcash, with minimum investment thresholds and eligibility requirements applying. The move could streamline crypto investment access for sophisticated holders and strengthen connections between digital assets and traditional investment products, though retail access remains limited.
Gold prices edged higher as falling US Treasury yields supported the metal, with spot gold rising 0.3% to $4,137.94 per ounce ahead of next week's Federal Reserve meeting. Markets are pricing in an 88% chance of a December rate hike, while investors await the Fed's October 27-28 decision and the upcoming US PCE inflation report for policy clues. Gold could remain range-bound with a downside bias if expectations for higher interest rates persist, despite support from retreating yields.
Gold futures edged higher as retreating oil prices and a weaker U.S. dollar supported the metal, with front-month gold settling up 0.2% at $4,130.50 per troy ounce. High oil prices have weighed on gold amid inflation concerns, while expectations of higher interest rates continue to limit its appeal; silver fell 0.5% to $57.422 per ounce. Gold could gain further support if oil prices and the dollar weaken, although restrictive monetary policy expectations may cap upside.
US Midwest corn basis bids held mostly steady to higher as falling futures prices discouraged farmers from selling during harvest. Corn futures fell to their lowest level since July 10, while Cincinnati and Union City facilities raised corn basis bids by 3 cents and 5 cents per bushel, respectively. Farmers may increasingly store crops rather than sell, potentially tightening near-term cash corn supplies despite favorable harvesting weather.
The Trump administration plans to release 315,000 barrels of heating oil from the Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve to help lower winter energy costs.
The exchange-based release represents about one-third of reserve inventories, while Northeast distillate stocks stand at 21 million barrels, down 21% from last year and 35% from 2024.
The limited release could provide temporary relief for heating oil prices, but the regional supply deficit may constrain its overall impact.
Anthropic may publicly file an S-1 registration statement as soon as Friday, according to Yahoo Finance citing three people familiar with the matter. A listing could follow in November, subject to market conditions; Anthropic did not comment on the timetable.
Reuters previously reported that Wall Street expects an Anthropic valuation of about $2 trillion and fundraising of up to $100 billion. A previously disclosed draft S-1 showed first-half revenue of $16.3 billion and net losses of $80.7 billion.
The potential filing would put Anthropic's growth, computing expenditure and path to profitability under closer scrutiny in a major test for AI capital markets.
US natural gas inventories are expected to rise by 79 billion cubic feet, below the seasonal five-year average of 87 billion cubic feet.
The forecast would bring stockpiles to 3.646 trillion cubic feet, about 4% below year-ago levels but 1% above the five-year average, with the EIA report due Thursday.
If confirmed, the smaller-than-normal injection could support natural gas prices, although inventories remaining above the five-year average may limit bullish momentum.
Hardware wallet vulnerabilities have exposed more than $240 million in estimated losses in 2026, raising serious questions about the security of Bitcoin self-custody.
Coldcard firmware weaknesses reportedly exposed over 1,800 BTC, while tampered Ledger devices sold through authorized reseller CryptoBilis led to an estimated $90 million to $100 million in losses.
These breaches could accelerate adoption of multisignature wallets and regulated custody solutions, potentially reshaping how investors secure their Bitcoin holdings.
The Cardano Foundation is urging the EU to avoid expanding MiCA with standalone rules for DeFi and staking, arguing that regulation should focus on activity and risk rather than technology.
The foundation says non-custodial ADA delegation should be distinguished from intermediary-operated staking services, while warning that overlapping regulations could create uncertainty for crypto businesses.
The proposal could support a more flexible regulatory framework for Cardano and DeFi, but expanding EU oversight could increase compliance uncertainty across crypto markets.
The OCC's final stablecoin rule preserves crypto platforms' ability to offer third-party stablecoin rewards, escalating a dispute with traditional banks over the treatment of interest-bearing stablecoins.
The rule drops a proposed presumption that certain issuer relationships with third parties could be unlawful, while the American Bankers Association warns of deposit flight and risks to bank lending.
The decision could support stablecoin reward offerings and crypto competition, but case-by-case enforcement and potential legal challenges may prolong regulatory uncertainty.
