European natural gas prices fell more than 3% below €92/MWh, extending Monday's 8.7% decline and reaching their lowest level in over a week.
Optimism over a potential U.S.-Iran diplomatic agreement eased geopolitical risk premiums, but EU gas inventories remain below 75%, with German storage at just 61.05% against a 70% government target.
Colder temperatures and increased heating demand could reverse some of the decline by intensifying competition for LNG supplies and tightening European gas markets.
Oil markets are closely watching diplomatic efforts in Doha and Washington for a potential U.S.-Iran ceasefire, but no agreement has been announced as negotiations remain conditional.
Iran is tying the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and resumption of talks to acceptance of its conditions, while the EIA estimates September oil production shut-ins averaged 4.8 million barrels per day.
Failure to secure a diplomatic breakthrough could sustain geopolitical supply risks and keep substantial upside pressure on crude prices.
Barclays maintained its Brent crude price forecasts at $100 per barrel for 2026 and $85 for 2027, warning that markets may be underestimating upside price risks.
The bank cited strong physical market indicators, relatively light investor positioning and limited pricing of upside risk in options markets, while recommending a tactical long position in the September-December 2027 Brent calendar spread at $3.40 per barrel.
If U.S.-Iran negotiations fail to deliver meaningful diplomatic progress, Brent crude could face renewed upward price pressure.
Crude oil prices turned lower after President Trump said the U.S. plans to end billions of dollars in annual military aid to Israel by year-end.
December WTI crude slipped 0.8% to $95.64 per barrel, while Brent fell 1.5% to $103.12, as diplomatic efforts between the U.S. and Iran continued despite renewed military strikes.
Continued negotiations could ease geopolitical risk premiums and pressure oil prices further, although ongoing regional attacks leave significant upside risks.
Marvell Technology shares may rebound after declining following its Lumentum acquisition, according to the source. The report cites oversold conditions and the $170 level as possible support that could prompt buying. The event centers on Marvell and the market's response to the acquisition; no specific price move, trading volume, or capital-flow data was provided.
SanDisk stock rose more than 5.5% to $1,134 on Tuesday, according to the supplied summary.

The development puts focus on SanDisk and other memory-related stocks, including Western Digital, SK Hynix and Micron.
U.S. technology stocks are leading a Wall Street rebound, with the Nasdaq gaining 1.1% and the S&P 500 rising 0.6% after the previous session's sharp sell-off. Semiconductor stocks are driving the recovery, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index surging 3.9%, while Apple remains down 2.4% following weaker-than-expected gross margin guidance. The rebound could signal renewed buying interest in technology and semiconductor stocks, although elevated volatility and mixed market performance may limit further upside.
U.S. crude oil inventories are expected to decline for a fifth consecutive week, with analysts forecasting a modest 200,000-barrel draw for the week ended October 30. The survey projects crude stocks at 410.4 million barrels, gasoline inventories rising 200,000 barrels and distillate stocks falling 1 million barrels, while refinery utilization is expected to reach 92.9%. The upcoming EIA inventory report could influence near-term WTI crude price direction as traders assess whether continued stockpile declines signal tightening U.S. supply.
U.S. stocks were mixed: the Dow fell while the Nasdaq and S&P rose. Apple shares declined after the company reported fourth-quarter results despite strong earnings. Oil, silver, and copper also fell. The event directly affects Apple stock and underscores divergent performance among major U.S. equity indexes and commodities.
Citi is promoting spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs to wealth clients even as US Bitcoin ETFs have suffered roughly $1 billion in outflows over the last two trading sessions. On November 2, Bitcoin ETFs lost $398.62 million and Ethereum ETFs shed $139.80 million, while Citi continues to target institutional Bitcoin custody later this year without a confirmed launch date. Citi’s push could support longer-term institutional adoption, but sustained ETF redemptions may add selling pressure to Bitcoin and Ethereum in the near term.
US Henry Hub natural gas prices averaged $2.99 per mmBtu in October, marking their lowest October level since 2024. The monthly average was down from $3.19 in October 2025 and below the five-year October average of $3.92. Persistently lower benchmark prices could pressure natural gas producers while benefiting consumers and energy-intensive businesses.

The disclosed objections have reached 56, including 49 of the 62 companies initially selected for trading, while the venture has yet to announce a launch date or its initial stock lineup. The widespread resistance could constrain the venue’s planned offering and slow adoption of blockchain-based U.S. equity trading.
US spot Ether ETFs recorded approximately $139.7 million in net outflows on November 2, extending a run of negative fund flows. BlackRock's ETHA accounted for roughly $138.3 million of the withdrawals, following outflows of $155.7 million on October 30 and $105.5 million on October 29. Continued redemptions could weigh on sentiment toward ETH, particularly if withdrawals broaden across issuers in the coming sessions.
US midterm elections headline the November 4 market calendar, with control of both chambers of Congress at stake alongside key economic data and corporate earnings. US stocks posted mixed gains Tuesday, while WTI fell to $96.04 and Brent to $103.54 amid hopes for a US-Iran diplomatic deal; US ADP employment, trade balance and services PMI data are also due. Election outcomes, economic releases and earnings could drive volatility across equities, currencies and energy markets during the session.
CoreWeave (CRWV) rose more than 7% to $53.75 as AI stocks rebounded. The source highlights technical levels, analyst price targets and Q3 earnings expectations as key areas to watch, but gives no additional figures or details on those levels, targets or estimates.
Justin Sun has filed a motion seeking sanctions against Trump-linked World Liberty Financial, alleging the DeFi venture concealed its UAE citizenship during their ongoing legal dispute. Sun claims World Liberty amended its court disclosures to identify 22 ownership-chain members and citizenship across Florida, Delaware, Puerto Rico and the UAE, potentially complicating federal court jurisdiction. The escalating legal battle could add pressure to sentiment around WLFI as the dispute raises further questions about the project's ownership disclosures and governance.
OpenUSD (OUSD), a stablecoin backed by a consortium including Stripe, Visa, Mastercard, Coinbase and Shopify, has disclosed a capped management fee and an equity incentive program for partners. The fee is 0.1 basis point per payment, capped at $0.01, while partners holding at least $50 million in OUSD may qualify for an annual equity earn-in pool with a 5% maximum ownership cap per partner. The structure could encourage major payment firms to support OUSD adoption and strengthen its position in cross-border settlement, though execution and partner participation will be key.
Binance is seeing hourly deposits overtake withdrawals as customer activity stabilizes following its $6.3 billion security breach, signaling an early shift in exchange flows. The latest hourly interval recorded a $10 million net inflow, while Binance says it has replenished approximately 95% of the stolen assets and reported cumulative net outflows of $5.276 billion over 46 hours. Continued withdrawal restoration and asset recovery could strengthen confidence in Binance, although the remaining outflows and unresolved security investigation may prolong uncertainty.
Apple said memory prices will continue rising, squeezing its margins and renewing attention on memory suppliers. Micron, Sandisk, Western Digital and Seagate were described as rallying as sustained higher memory prices point to potential pricing power across the memory and storage sector. The development affects Apple’s margin outlook while highlighting suppliers of memory chips and storage products, including Micron, Sandisk, Western Digital and Seagate.
Oil prices suffered their steepest one-day decline since July as renewed US-Iran diplomatic efforts triggered a sharp unwinding of crude's geopolitical risk premium. Brent crude plunged 7.63% to $104.77 per barrel, while WTI dropped 7.36% to $96.46, although reports of a US strike on Iran's Qeshm Island subsequently triggered a rebound. Continued diplomatic progress could drive further downside in crude, but stalled negotiations or renewed military escalation could quickly reverse the selloff.
US sugar futures extended their decline to around 18.5 cents per pound, hitting their lowest level since September amid weaker Brazilian currency, fund selling, lower oil prices, and expectations of increased Indian supply. India's October sugar production surged 745% year over year to 845,000 tonnes, while heavy rainfall disrupted Brazilian harvesting and reduced first-half October production. Continued Indian supply growth could keep sugar prices under pressure, although persistent Brazilian weather disruptions and El Niño risks could limit global supply and trigger a recovery.
NEAR Protocol has integrated PEARL into near.com, enabling confidential cross-chain swaps and payments across supported networks without requiring users to manage separate bridges. Users can swap into PEARL from supported chains and make payments through a single account, with transactions confidential by default. The integration could strengthen NEAR's cross-chain payment capabilities, improve user accessibility, and support greater ecosystem adoption.
Ledger has integrated USAT support on Celo, allowing users to send, swap, and pay native network gas fees with the stablecoin. USAT joins 18 other Celo-native currencies supported for gas through Ledger, expanding the network's supported payment assets. The integration could improve Celo ecosystem accessibility and stablecoin utility, potentially boosting network activity and demand for CELO.
Gold and silver are retreating from the previous session's gains as volatile oil prices sustain inflation concerns and expectations of higher interest rates. December gold futures fell 0.6% to $3,946.80 per ounce, while silver dropped 1.8% to $49.97, with US-Iran negotiations and midterm election uncertainty adding to market caution. Continued crude oil volatility and geopolitical tensions could intensify pressure on precious metals, while progress in US-Iran negotiations could support a recovery.
Horizen will shut down bridging from its Layer 3 network to Base on November 4 at 13:00 UTC, requiring users to move their assets before the deadline. Users must unstake and claim ZEN rewards, bridge ZEN and USDC.e through Stargate, and withdraw ETH through the native bridge. The deadline could trigger increased ZEN and USDC.e bridging activity and create short-term operational pressure for users who have not migrated their assets.
Venezuela's oil exports remained virtually flat at 1.08 million barrels per day in October as stagnant production and elevated freight rates limited further growth, with volumes falling to their lowest level since February. Exports to the US dropped nearly 29% month over month to 449,000 bpd, while shipments to Europe climbed to 235,000 bpd from 86,000 bpd and Chevron's exports reached approximately 303,000 bpd. Continued production constraints and high shipping costs could limit Venezuela's ability to increase global crude supply, while shifting export destinations may reshape regional oil flows.
Bitcoin edged 0.7% higher at Tuesday's Wall Street open, holding above its recent $76,300 lows as US equities rebounded despite uncertainty surrounding the midterm elections.
BTC traded near $77,000, while analysts at The Kobeissi Letter said markets were pricing in two years of potential political gridlock and legislative uncertainty.
Continued political uncertainty and volatility across US equities could keep Bitcoin sensitive to broader risk sentiment while $76,300 remains a key local low.
ICE canola futures tumbled Tuesday, testing lows last seen in August as retreating crude oil prices weighed on global vegetable oil markets.
Chicago soyoil fell to its lowest level since late June, while European rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil also turned sharply lower; nearly 24,300 canola contracts were traded.
Further weakness across competing vegetable oils could push January canola futures toward their July low of approximately C$760 per tonne.
Gold and silver prices declined in India on November 3, with silver facing a sharper correction as precious metals came under pressure from changing US interest-rate expectations and investor profit-taking.
IBJA gold fell Rs.542 to Rs.1,37,576 per 10 grams, while silver dropped Rs.875 to Rs.1,76,425 per kg; markets are pricing in a 75% probability of another Federal Reserve rate hike in December.
Precious metals could remain under pressure as hawkish Fed expectations, geopolitical uncertainty and liquidation risks continue to drive volatility.
The CFTC has approved U.S. exchanges to offer perpetual futures tied to individual stocks for the first time, expanding the range of assets available through these contracts.
CFTC Chair Michael Selig said the move supports risk management and price discovery, with both the CFTC and SEC overseeing the products.
The decision could accelerate the growth of perpetual futures in U.S. markets and broaden access to stock-linked derivatives.
Oil prices reversed earlier gains and slipped again as renewed US-Iran diplomatic efforts offset concerns over attacks on Russian energy infrastructure and escalating Middle East tensions.
Brent retreated from an intraday high near $105.66 toward $103, while WTI fell from nearly $97 into the mid-$95 range after Trump said the US would end $4 billion in annual military aid to Israel by year-end.
Uncertainty over a potential US-Iran agreement and continued attacks on energy infrastructure could intensify crude price volatility and create competing supply risks.
Iran denied reports that it was close to reaching an agreement with the United States, saying there had been “no new progress” on a deal, according to Iranian broadcaster IRIB.
Oil prices moved higher following the statement. WTI crude rose $1.02 per barrel in 5 minutes to $96.71 per barrel, while Brent crude gained $1.38 per barrel in 5 minutes to $104.54 per barrel.
The denial cooled expectations of near-term geopolitical easing. Market focus remains on verifiable progress in U.S.-Iran talks and its implications for oil supply risk.
U.S. midterm elections could reshape cryptocurrency regulation and determine whether the stalled CLARITY Act gains momentum or faces further delays as control of Congress hangs in the balance.
The bill previously failed a September procedural vote of 49-50 and still requires 60 Senate votes, while the crypto industry spent approximately $176 million across more than 100 congressional races.
The election outcome could influence regulatory clarity for digital assets and create significant catalysts for Bitcoin, Ethereum and crypto-related stocks over the next two years.
Gulf oil exports declined in October from September's post-Iran war high as escalating attacks on shipping around the Strait of Hormuz increased risks to tanker traffic.
Vortexa estimated total crude, condensate and refined product flows at 17.1 million barrels per day, down from 18.9 million in September, while crude exports recovered to 86% of pre-war levels.
Further upward revisions remain possible due to tracking difficulties, but sustained shipping risks could pressure Gulf oil supply and intensify volatility in crude markets.
The CFTC has cleared the way for single-stock perpetual futures to begin trading on properly registered US commodity markets, opening a new regulated derivatives market for individual equities.
CFTC-registered platforms must also file notice with the SEC to trade security futures, while platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket are exploring perps as a new growth opportunity.
The move could expand leveraged equity derivatives trading in the US, intensifying competition between prediction markets, crypto platforms and traditional financial institutions.
Bybit reported $17.3 billion in mainstream asset reserves, with its latest proof-of-reserves report showing full reserve coverage across all 50 in-scope assets.

The disclosure could strengthen confidence in Bybit's reserve transparency and reduce concerns about exchange solvency, although no prior-period comparison was provided.
Tokenised real-world assets have nearly doubled in value to almost $40 billion in 2026, but a new Drofa Comms and RWA Summit report warns that issuance growth has outpaced the development of functional markets.
The report identifies four key challenges for 2027: secondary-market liquidity, institutional capital efficiency, legal certainty across jurisdictions and sustainable commercial revenues.
Progress on these challenges could determine whether RWA tokenisation evolves from rapid issuance growth into meaningful institutional and mainstream financial adoption.
Barclays maintained its Brent crude oil price forecasts at $100 per barrel for 2026 and $85 per barrel for 2027 despite recent weakness linked to US-Iran diplomacy.
The bank said there is little evidence of a diplomatic breakthrough and recommended a tactical long position in Brent calendar spreads.
The outlook could support Brent spreads as geopolitical uncertainty and the absence of a confirmed breakthrough sustain upside risks.
Bybit's 41st independently verified Proof-of-Reserves report shows $17.3 billion in mainstream assets, with reserves exceeding user liabilities across all 50 audited assets.
As of October 27, USDT reserves stood at 112%, USDC at 405%, BTC at 102% and ETH at 101%, with verification conducted by HACKEN.
The latest figures could strengthen confidence in Bybit's custody and solvency position, potentially supporting user trust in the exchange and broader crypto-market participation.
U.S. stocks traded mixed as investors awaited midterm election results, with technology shares advancing while the Dow declined and Treasury yields climbed.
The S&P 500 gained 0.2% and Nasdaq Composite rose 0.6%, while the Dow fell 0.7%; Apple dropped 1.5% after disappointing margin guidance and sales, despite semiconductor gains led by Nvidia, AMD and peers.
Election uncertainty, rising Treasury yields and stronger-than-expected job openings could intensify market volatility, while continued semiconductor strength may support technology stocks.
U.S. September JOLTS job openings totaled 7.523 million, exceeding the 7.164 million forecast and rising from the prior 7.079 million reading.

The release also raises questions over how quickly easing expectations can advance if growth proves harder to cool.
The event is relevant to macro-sensitive markets including SPX500, NAS100, and XAU.
StoneX raised its forecast for Brazil's 2026/27 soybean harvest to a record 184.95 million metric tons, reinforcing expectations of abundant global agricultural supply.
The estimate increased from 183.56 million tons in September, while first-crop corn was raised to 30.68 million tons and second-crop corn is forecast at 113.53 million tons.
Expanding Brazilian production could increase global grain supply and intensify downward pressure on soybean and corn prices.
Wheat prices are under pressure, falling 1.5% on CBOT to $5.97 1/2 per bushel as improving Southern Hemisphere crop prospects weigh against geopolitical supply uncertainty.
Argentina's Rosario exchange raised its wheat production estimate, while Australia's harvest is gathering pace, with Black Sea developments remaining a key supply variable.
Continued harvest progress and competitive export supplies could maintain pressure on wheat prices, although geopolitical disruptions could introduce renewed upside risk.
The CFTC has cleared perpetual futures tied to individual stocks for trading on regulated U.S. exchanges, bringing a crypto-native derivatives model into traditional financial markets under federal oversight.
The equity perps will fall under joint CFTC and SEC supervision, while perpetual futures recorded more than $630 billion in trading volume over the past month, according to DeFiLlama.
The move could accelerate institutional adoption of leveraged derivatives, expand regulated trading opportunities and intensify competition between U.S. exchanges and offshore crypto platforms.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq opened higher as crude oil prices extended their declines ahead of US midterm elections, while the Dow moved lower.

Canada's TSX Composite Index climbed 0.5% to nearly 36,000 as retreating oil prices eased pressure on credit-sensitive stocks and lifted banking shares.
RBC, BMO and National Bank gained approximately 1% each, while Agnico Eagle, Barrick and WPM advanced around 3% despite subdued gold prices.
Continued weakness in oil prices could support Canadian equities and financial stocks, although geopolitical developments may keep energy markets volatile.
Venezuela's oil exports remained virtually unchanged at 1.08 million barrels per day in October, as stagnant crude production and elevated freight rates constrained export growth.
Shipping data indicates that high transportation costs have curbed demand for some South American crude grades in recent months.
Continued production stagnation and expensive freight could limit Venezuela's ability to increase oil exports and add pressure to regional crude supply dynamics.
US stocks opened mixed as midterm election voting began, with the Dow falling 182 points while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq edged higher.

Binance has disclosed that attackers used fake job interviews, malware and an exploited internal AI tool to compromise wallet engineers and carry out a $6.34 billion hack.
The attackers abused stolen credentials and Ethereum's EIP-7702 authorization mechanism, while approximately $2.85 billion has been frozen or intercepted and Binance says 98% of affected token assets have been replenished.
The breach could intensify concerns over exchange security, wallet infrastructure and vulnerabilities in Ethereum-based authorization systems.
Oil prices fell as reports emerged that the US and Iran are considering a preliminary diplomatic agreement that could pave the way for renewed negotiations.
The reported draft would involve changes to Iran's nuclear doctrine and the release of part of its frozen assets, while Brent fell 1.1% to $103.63 and WTI dropped 0.3% to $96.28.
A potential diplomatic breakthrough could ease fears of further conflict and reduce geopolitical risk premiums in crude oil prices.

The review could signal closer scrutiny of financial institutions' crypto exposure, although the BOK says financial-stability risks have not materialized and no new rules or sanctions have been decided.
US gasoline futures remain near a three-month low around $2.90 per gallon as diplomatic efforts between Washington and Tehran ease concerns about supply disruptions.
US gasoline inventories unexpectedly increased by 3.8 million barrels, while gasoline supplied fell by 624,000 barrels per day to 8.36 million bpd.
Continued diplomatic progress and weaker demand could pressure prices further, but refinery maintenance and inventories still below seasonal averages may limit the downside.
Brazil's oil production surged 20.3% year-on-year in September to a record 4.71 million barrels per day.
Natural gas output also increased 17.5%, reaching 223.98 million cubic meters per day, according to regulator ANP.
