Crude and refined-product futures extended losses Wednesday, with Brent falling $4.58 to $99.02 per barrel and WTI dropping $4.16 to $91.93 as easing concerns over potential U.S. military action against Iran reduced oil's geopolitical risk premium.
The prospect of tighter constraints on U.S. military action, increased Middle Eastern crude exports, and President Trump's statement that no immediate strike against Iran is planned weighed on prices, while U.S. distillate inventories fell to their lowest level since May 2003.
Oil could face further downside if Middle East tensions remain contained and the supply-disruption risk premium continues to unwind, although renewed conflict remains an upside risk.

Spot gold briefly reaches $4,050.99, its highest level since October 29, while silver jumps 4.8% to $52.13 and palladium gains 6.5%.
A weaker dollar and persistent geopolitical uncertainty could extend precious metals' rally, although Friday's U.S. jobs report and an 82% probability of a December Fed rate increase could limit further upside.
Palladium futures rebound above $935 an ounce after hitting a 16-month low, but the metal remains under significant pressure from weak investment and automotive demand.
Elevated energy costs are fueling expectations of further monetary tightening, while EV adoption and weak vehicle sales threaten palladium demand, which depends on the auto sector for over 80% of consumption.
Constrained Russian production and a potential plant overhaul extending into 2028 could provide supply-side support, while a modest demand recovery is expected in 2027.

Political gridlock and easing geopolitical tensions could support precious metals and broader risk assets, although historical election trends are not guaranteed to repeat.
Brent crude fell below $100 a barrel as hopes for an end to the Middle East conflict weighed on oil prices.
The headline identifies easing geopolitical tensions as the driver behind the decline, with Brent breaking below the key $100 price level.
A potential resolution to the conflict could further reduce geopolitical risk premiums and pressure Brent crude prices.
WTI Midland crude prices declined after a November 26-30 cargo deal between Moeve and BP cleared at lower levels than Tuesday's transaction.
Moeve bought WTI Midland at dated Brent plus $2.95 CIF Rotterdam, equivalent to dated Brent minus $1.14 FOB, while Forties and Oseberg offers also moved lower.
The weaker deal levels and lower offers could signal softer pricing across North Sea crude grades.
ICE Futures canola prices fell sharply Wednesday as losses across the Chicago soy complex weighed on the oilseed market.
January canola dropped C$11.50 to C$770.30 per metric ton, while European rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil also traded lower amid weakness in crude oil.
Continued fund liquidation and weakening technical trends could maintain downward pressure on canola prices, although slower farmer selling and end-user bargain hunting may limit losses.
US equities rallied sharply after Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress, with the Dow jumping more than 1,000 points (2%) and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each gaining 1.1%. Investors are also assessing potential risks to the AI infrastructure boom following election victories by data-centre opponents, while Brent traded at $104.27 and WTI hovered near $97 per barrel.

The incident could intensify exchange security scrutiny, accelerate AI-based defense investments, and strengthen demand for transparent proof-of-reserves systems across the crypto industry.
ICE canola futures fell sharply Wednesday as losses across the Chicago soy complex and broader global oilseed markets weighed on prices.
January canola dropped C$11.50 to C$770.30 per metric ton, with commodity fund long-liquidation adding selling pressure.
Slowing farmer selling and bargain-hunting by end users could help limit further downside, although weakening technical trends may continue to pressure canola.
U.S. natural gas inventories are expected to rise by 81 billion cubic feet in the week ended October 30, exceeding the seasonal five-year average as mild weather limited early heating demand.
The projected injection would lift the storage surplus over the 2021–2025 average to 58 Bcf from 38 Bcf, although inventories would remain 105 Bcf below year-earlier levels.
The larger-than-normal injection could pressure natural gas prices by reinforcing concerns about comfortable winter supply, depending on the actual EIA report and upcoming weather conditions.

Negotiations have helped Strait of Hormuz flows approach normal levels, while U.S. gasoline inventories declined by 222,000 barrels in the week ending October 30. Further diplomatic progress and increased refinery output could pressure gasoline prices, although tight inventories and seasonal refinery maintenance may limit the decline.
Colombia is preparing to reopen oil exploration opportunities, with a new licensing round expected to be ready in the first quarter of 2027, signaling a potential reversal of its previous restrictions on new hydrocarbon contracts. The National Hydrocarbons Agency is also working to lift suspensions on existing contracts, while approximately 19.9 million hectares have been designated for potential future oil and gas development. The renewed exploration push could attract investment and strengthen Colombia's future oil and gas supply, although actual production gains remain uncertain.
U.S. markets advanced Wednesday following a decisive Democratic victory in the midterm elections, while oil prices and Datadog shares came under pressure.

Reduced election uncertainty and potential pressure for an Iran war resolution could support equities, while slowing growth expectations could continue weighing on Datadog.
Uber shares rose 8% after Q3 earnings, as Delivery growth and the company’s autonomous-vehicle rollout helped offset tight driver supply in its Mobility business. According to the event context, the autonomous-vehicle fleet could exceed 2,000 vehicles in 2027. The update focuses on Delivery, Mobility driver availability and AV deployment, while also noting analyst targets without providing figures.
GlobalFoundries said AI chip demand is “skyrocketing” and its capacity is booked through 2027. The company beat Q3 earnings expectations, but its shares fell 8% as investors reacted cautiously to planned $4 billion in capital spending for 2027.

Production increased by 25,000 barrels per day, exceeding analyst expectations of 1.112 million, while stocks fell by 89,000 barrels to 24.4 million barrels.
Strong production alongside declining inventories could signal resilient ethanol demand and provide support for biofuel prices.
Brent crude fell 5.0% intraday to $98.31 per barrel.
The move places oil volatility at the center of market attention. The supplied information does not provide a catalyst for the decline, nor does it provide data on related energy markets, inflation expectations, trading volumes, or capital flows.
Market focus is on whether the crude decline sees follow-through and whether related macro signals confirm broader implications for energy pricing and inflation expectations.
Bitcoin reclaimed $80,000 on Wednesday, trading near $80,700 with a 4.4% daily gain as US crude oil plunged to a three-week low following Democrats' midterm election victory.
WTI crude fell to $93.54, approximately 12% below last Friday's $106.20 peak, as investors anticipated reduced US-Iran tensions, while Bitcoin recovered from an intraday decline to $75,700.
Further progress in Qatar-mediated negotiations could ease geopolitical risks and support market sentiment, but unresolved Strait of Hormuz supply disruptions and potential military escalation could reverse the recovery.
U.S. stocks surged across the board on Wednesday following Democrats' decisive midterm election victory, with the Dow jumping 1,299 points for a 2.5% gain.
The S&P 500 climbed 1.4% to 7,676.01, while the Nasdaq gained 1.5% to 25,751.33, as investors responded to reduced concerns about political confrontation and legislative gridlock.
Improved political stability and stronger-than-expected private employment growth could support further equity gains, although regulatory uncertainty and sector weakness remain potential headwinds.
Gold surged nearly 3% on Wednesday, reclaiming $4,000 per ounce and heading for its biggest daily gain since August as a weaker US dollar boosted bullion demand.
Spot gold climbed 2.9% to $4,040.15, while the dollar fell to a more than one-month low following Democratic victories in the US midterm elections.
Gold could receive further support from dollar weakness and expectations of easier monetary policy, although Friday's US nonfarm payrolls report could shift interest rate expectations.
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index extended its losses to 5% on November 5, as major chip stocks declined across several segments.
Marvell Technology fell more than 9%, Micron Technology dropped more than 6%, and Intel declined more than 5%. Nvidia and Broadcom were each down more than 2%.
The move reflects broad pressure on semiconductor shares, including companies tied to memory, networking and AI compute. The immediate focus is whether weakness spreads further through the AI compute supply chain and whether earnings or demand signals alter sentiment.

He cited examples of transferring $500 million with minimal fees and $1 million in seconds, while he also co-founded Nasdaq-listed American Bitcoin Corp. (ABTC).
His advocacy could reinforce Bitcoin's appeal as a payments alternative, although his commercial interests are relevant context when assessing the claims.
U.S. crude inventories fell for a fifth consecutive week, while distillate stocks dropped to their lowest level since May 2003, signaling tightening petroleum supplies.
Commercial crude stocks declined by 865,000 barrels to 409.8 million, 4% below the five-year average, while distillate inventories plunged by 3.6 million barrels to 99.3 million, 13% below average.

Cocoa and arabica coffee futures hit multiweek lows as ample cocoa stocks, weak chocolate demand and expectations for record Brazilian coffee exports weighed on prices.
New York cocoa touched $5,274 per ton, while arabica coffee fell 2.1% to $2.7805 per pound; the global chocolate market contracted 4.3% in the year to August, according to Barry Callebaut.
Continued stock accumulation and export pressure could keep cocoa and coffee prices under pressure, although potential El Niño-related crop losses may limit cocoa's downside.
Democrats winning control of both chambers of Congress has further weakened the prospects for the Clarity Act, a long-awaited U.S. crypto regulatory framework.
The bill failed to clear a procedural vote in September, and industry figures now describe its passage in its current form as highly unlikely; crypto PACs spent roughly $170.5 million on the elections.
The political shift could increase regulatory scrutiny of crypto firms and delay legislative clarity, although bipartisan cooperation may still offer a path forward.
Brent crude fell below $101 a barrel on Wednesday, hitting a four-week low and extending its losing streak to three consecutive sessions.
Prices faced pressure from renewed Gulf exports pushing Middle Eastern supply above near-term demand, while investors assessed prospects for de-escalation in the US-Israeli conflict with Iran; US crude inventories nevertheless declined for a fifth straight week, falling 865,000 barrels.
Continued diplomatic efforts and stronger regional oil availability could keep pressure on Brent prices, although persistent US inventory declines may provide some support.
Colombia expects to have new oil exploration areas ready for offering by the first quarter of 2027, signaling a potential expansion of future exploration opportunities.
National Hydrocarbons Agency President Ernesto Forero confirmed the expected timeline on Wednesday, although no specific exploration areas or terms were disclosed.
The planned offering could attract renewed interest in Colombia's oil sector and support expectations for future domestic exploration activity.
Bernstein slashed price targets on seven Bitcoin mining companies as Texas election results raised uncertainty over AI data center development and access to electricity.
Price targets for IREN and Cipher Mining were cut by 45% and 35%, respectively, while Texas accounts for roughly a quarter of planned U.S. data center capacity and more than half of the power capacity held or planned by miners covered by Bernstein.
Extended permitting delays, tighter financing and electricity constraints could pressure Bitcoin miners' AI expansion plans, while companies with secured power and existing grid connections may gain a competitive advantage.
Crude oil fell below $94 per barrel on Wednesday, extending its losing streak to three consecutive sessions and reaching its lowest level in approximately three weeks.
Prices faced pressure from prospects of de-escalation in the US-Israeli conflict with Iran and renewed Gulf exports that pushed Middle Eastern oil availability above near-term demand for the first time since July.
Continued diplomatic progress and improving regional supply could maintain downward pressure on crude prices, although persistent geopolitical tensions and declining US inventories remain potential sources of support.
U.S. crude oil inventories recorded their fifth consecutive weekly decline, while distillate stockpiles plunged to their lowest level in more than 20 years, according to the EIA.
Commercial crude inventories fell by 865,000 barrels to 409.8 million barrels, while distillate stocks dropped by 3.6 million barrels to 99.3 million barrels, 13% below the five-year average.
Continued inventory declines and tightening distillate supplies could increase upward pressure on crude oil and refined fuel prices.
Eight of 11 sectors rose in Wednesday’s regular session. Growth sectors held two of the top three spots, while Consumer Staples was also among the leaders. Energy was the clear laggard, with a gap from the next-weakest sector described as several times wider than any other gap in the sector table.
The sector split points to relative strength in growth-oriented areas and Consumer Staples, while Energy was notably weaker than the rest of the market. The data does not provide sector percentage changes, index levels, trading volumes, or price moves for QQQ, Amazon, Dow-linked assets, Disney, Nike, or McDonald’s.

The divergence puts focus on whether risk appetite continues shifting away from higher-valuation AI-linked semiconductor names toward more defensive parts of the chip sector, with market attention on major leaders and the breadth of losses.
US crude oil production reached a new record for the second consecutive week, climbing to 14.003 million barrels per day in the week ended October 30, according to the EIA.
Output increased by 11,000 barrels per day, surpassing the previous weekly record of 13.992 million barrels per day set the week before.
Continued record production could reinforce expectations of strong US crude supply and potentially pressure crude oil prices.
U.S. crude oil inventories recorded their fifth consecutive weekly decline, falling 865,000 barrels in the week ended October 30. Distillate stocks plunged 3.565 million barrels, while gasoline inventories dropped 222,000 barrels, although Cushing crude stocks increased by 280,000 barrels and net crude imports rose by 1.179 million barrels per day. Continued inventory draws could support oil prices, but rising imports and mixed supply indicators may limit the bullish impact.
U.S. crude, gasoline and distillate inventories all declined in the week ended October 30, with crude stocks falling 865,000 barrels against expectations for a 877,000-barrel increase. Distillate inventories plunged 3.6 million barrels to 99.3 million barrels, while refinery utilization climbed to 94.5% and net crude imports increased by 1.18 million barrels per day. Despite tighter inventory figures, oil futures moved lower after the report, suggesting bearish market pressure could persist despite declining stockpiles.
U.S. crude oil inventories unexpectedly fell by 0.9 million barrels in the week ended October 30, defying expectations for a 0.9 million-barrel increase. Crude stocks stood at 409.8 million barrels, 4% below their five-year average, while distillate inventories dropped 3.6 million barrels to 13% below seasonal norms. Continued inventory draws could tighten U.S. petroleum supply and provide bullish support for crude oil prices.
Bitcoin surged above $80,000 following the US midterm election results, trading at approximately $80,510 and gaining 4.2% over 24 hours.
The rally triggered $377 million in short liquidations within one hour, including $229 million in BTC liquidations, 96.4% of which were shorts.
The sharp short squeeze could reinforce bullish momentum in Bitcoin, although elevated liquidations may leave the market vulnerable to volatility.
US Strategic Petroleum Reserve inventories declined by 400,000 barrels to 282.2 million barrels in the week ended October 30.
The latest EIA data confirms another weekly drawdown in the nation's emergency crude oil stockpile.
The continued reserve reduction could modestly tighten available US crude buffers and provide support for oil prices.
US gasoline inventories declined by 220,000 barrels to 209.0 million barrels in the week ended October 30.
The latest EIA data shows a modest drawdown in US gasoline stockpiles.
The inventory decline could indicate slightly tighter gasoline supply conditions and provide modest support for fuel prices.
US crude oil inventories at Cushing, Oklahoma, increased by 280,000 barrels to 27.2 million barrels in the week ended October 30.
The reported increase indicates a modest buildup in crude oil stocks at the key US storage hub.
The inventory addition could signal slightly looser crude supply conditions and potentially weigh on near-term oil price sentiment.
