The source lists IRENSTOCK and MSFTSTOCK as related tickers. No additional price, volume, flow, or trading-activity data was included in the supplied context.
A sweeping Democratic midterm victory triggered a major cross-market repricing, with Brent crude plunging below $100, roughly $3 trillion wiped from S&P 500 market capitalization, and technology stocks suffering a sharp sell-off. Brent fell 9% on Wednesday before rebounding nearly 4% on Thursday after fresh Gulf tanker attacks, while the Nasdaq entered correction territory and the 10-year Treasury yield dropped to 4.82%. Continued uncertainty over Iran, AI regulation and data-center investment could sustain volatility across energy, bond and equity markets.
Bitcoin held above $75,000 despite a sharp global technology-led sell-off, while South Korea’s KOSPI plunged more than 8% intraday and triggered a 20-minute trading halt. BTC fell as much as 6.6% on Thursday before stabilizing near $75,733, while the S&P 500 dropped 4.4%, the Nasdaq Composite lost 5.5%, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plunged 12.2%. Persistent AI regulation fears and continued weakness in technology stocks could pressure Bitcoin if its increasingly positive correlation with equities sustains the spillover.
Approximately 224,200 tonnes of gold are held above ground globally as of Q3 2026, while an estimated 61,000 tonnes remain underground in economically mineable reserves. Jewellery accounts for 98,700 tonnes (44%) of above-ground gold, while bars, coins and ETFs hold 52,400 tonnes (23%) and central banks hold 39,300 tonnes (18%).
An additional 114,400 tonnes are classified as underground resources, although their economic viability for extraction has not been established.
The substantial above-ground supply and remaining underground resources could influence long-term gold scarcity expectations, while central-bank and investment holdings remain important components of global demand and ownership.
Copper is heading for its steepest weekly decline since March, falling for a fourth consecutive session as a technology-stock rout and concerns over AI investment weigh on demand sentiment. LME copper dropped 0.8% to $13,738 per ton and is on track for a 2.9% weekly loss, while Shanghai copper inventories plunged more than 24% to a nearly three-year low of 33,848 tons.
Despite the selloff, exceptionally tight physical availability, mine supply challenges and backwardation in Shanghai futures indicate persistent supply constraints.
Continued weakness in AI-related sentiment could pressure copper prices further, although tightening physical supply could limit the downside and support a recovery.
France raised its 2026 wine production forecast to 36.7 million hectolitres from 34.9 million, as yields exceeded expectations across several major wine-producing regions.
The revised forecast is 3% above 2025 production but remains 10% below the 2021-2025 average, with Languedoc-Roussillon output expected to rise 25% while Champagne production faces a projected 38% decline.
Higher-than-expected yields could ease supply pressures in some French wine regions, although regional shortages and reduced vineyard area may continue limiting overall production.
Brent crude has fallen below $100 a barrel to $97.59, with Brent and WTI both facing weekly losses of nearly 14% as traders anticipate potential diplomatic progress on Iran.
The oil selloff comes amid signs of a growing global supply surplus, with J.P. Morgan estimating excess supply of 1.1 million barrels per day in September and 1.4 million in October, while oil demand has fallen 3.3 million barrels per day since the conflict began.
Persistent Strait of Hormuz shipping threats and potential renewed U.S. military escalation could trigger a sharp oil price rebound despite deteriorating supply-demand fundamentals.
BlackRock and other ETFs sold $430.2 million worth of Bitcoin and $100 million worth of Ethereum, according to the source, for $530.2 million in combined sales. The reported activity puts ETF flows back at the center of the crypto market, with Bitcoin as the flagged asset and Ethereum also affected. Traders will watch whether the selling continues; the source notes that sustained institutional outflows may hurt sentiment, while a quick reversal would challenge the risk-off view.
Euronext plans to launch Black Sea milling wheat and corn futures in 2027, introducing physical delivery at Romania's Port of Constanta.
The wheat contract will cover 12% protein milling wheat and be denominated in euros, expanding Euronext's agricultural derivatives offerings.
The new contracts could improve regional price discovery and hedging opportunities while increasing Euronext's role in Black Sea grain markets.
Spain has ordered olive oil producers to withhold 12% of their 2026/27 production, removing approximately 188,000 tonnes from the market to stabilise prices after an expected bumper harvest.
The Agriculture Ministry forecasts production of 1.6 million tonnes, up 23% from last season, marking what could be Spain's fourth-largest harvest on record.
The supply restriction could limit downward price pressure from increased production and support olive oil prices through September 2027.
Bitcoin recovered 0.5% to $76,122 after sliding to a seven-week low of $75,131 as tech-stock losses and weakening risk appetite pressured cryptocurrencies.
A rebound in U.S. Nasdaq futures provided relief, while Ether gained 0.4% to $2,235; October nonfarm payrolls, expected to rise by 59,000, are the next major catalyst.
Stronger jobs and wage growth could strengthen the dollar and push Bitcoin toward $75,000 or $72,000, while weaker employment data could support a recovery toward $78,000-$80,000.
Brent crude has fallen below $100 a barrel, with Brent and WTI both heading for weekly losses of nearly 14% as traders price in hopes of a diplomatic resolution to the Iran conflict.
Brent dropped to $97.59 and WTI to $89.98, while J.P. Morgan estimates global oil supply exceeded demand by 1.1 million barrels per day in September, with the surplus widening to 1.4 million in October.
Expectations of easing geopolitical tensions and growing supply surpluses could maintain downward pressure on oil prices, although renewed military escalation or shipping disruptions could trigger a rebound.
South Korean crypto exchange GOPAX has suspended trading, deposits and standard withdrawals after receiving an email threatening a hack, while planning to move all customer crypto assets into cold storage.
GOPAX said no hack or attempted theft had occurred, but the suspension followed regulatory warnings and a requirement for domestic exchanges to hold at least 80% of customer assets offline.
The security response could intensify concerns about centralized exchange risks and increase pressure on South Korean platforms to strengthen custody protections.
Russian Urals crude has flipped to a $1-$2 per barrel discount against dated Brent for December deliveries to India as high global oil prices and freight costs weaken refinery demand.
The shift from estimated price parity reflects squeezed refining margins, while Western sanctions, expensive shipping and strong Chinese demand are further pressuring Russian oil sales to India.
Weaker Indian demand and lower Russian export availability could intensify pressure on Russian oil revenues and reshape crude trade flows.
Bitcoin rebounded 0.5% to $76,122 after plunging to a seven-week low of $75,131, as recovering U.S. tech futures helped ease pressure on cryptocurrencies.
The earlier selloff was driven by concerns over AI investment, renewed Middle East tensions and weaker risk appetite, while Ether also recovered 0.4% to $2,235.
Bitcoin's next major catalyst is the U.S. jobs report, with stronger employment potentially pressuring BTC toward $75,000 and weaker data potentially supporting a recovery toward $78,000-$80,000.
The Indian rupee strengthened past 94 per dollar to 93.9050, reaching its strongest level since April 22 as falling oil prices and renewed foreign investment boosted demand for the currency.
Foreign investors purchased nearly $3 billion in Indian equities this week, including $1.6 billion on Thursday, while Brent crude plunged nearly 20% for its steepest weekly decline since April 2020.
Continued foreign inflows and cheaper oil could extend the rupee's rally toward 93.50 or potentially 92.50, although RBI intervention could limit further appreciation.
European front-year power prices fell on Friday as weaker natural gas and carbon costs, alongside expectations for warmer weather, eased pressure on electricity markets.
Germany's day-ahead baseload contract dropped 2.2% to €144.50/MWh, while France's fell 1.6% to €114/MWh; the European carbon benchmark declined 1.3% to €87.80 per metric ton.
Warmer and windier conditions next week could further ease European power prices, although German wind output declines and renewed LNG supply concerns could limit the relief.
Karnataka says four in five surveyed petrol pumps were selling fuel with ethanol content above India's permitted 20% limit, with some samples reaching 31.2%.
The state tested 63 samples across seven districts and identified excess blending at outlets operated by Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum, raising concerns about vehicle compatibility.
The findings could intensify scrutiny of India's E20 fuel programme and increase pressure on oil companies and the federal government to address potential vehicle damage and fuel-quality enforcement.
Palm oil futures fell 119 ringgit to 4,258 ringgit per ton, extending declines and slipping below the 4,300-ringgit level.
Weaker soybean oil and crude oil prices, alongside concerns over record-high Malaysian inventories, pressured sentiment.
Palm oil could remain under pressure ahead of next week's Malaysian Palm Oil Board report, with support near 4,250 ringgit and resistance around 4,400 ringgit.
XRP has plunged 7.66% to $1.21 despite a massive $540 million Binance outflow, marking its largest exchange withdrawal day in nine months.
US spot XRP ETFs recorded zero net inflows for three consecutive sessions, while October inflows fell to $18.8 million from $121.4 million in September, highlighting weak institutional demand.
XRP could face further downside toward $1.11 if the $1.21 support fails, while renewed ETF inflows and a breakout above $1.34 may be needed to strengthen recovery prospects.
Gold slipped 0.3% to $4,076.91 per ounce but remained on track for its strongest weekly gain in more than two months, up 5% for the week.
Investors are awaiting U.S. nonfarm payrolls for clues on Federal Reserve policy, while traders price in a 64% chance of a December rate hike and Goldman Sachs cut its end-2026 gold forecast to $4,150 from $4,650.
A weaker jobs report could support gold by reducing rate-hike expectations, while stronger employment data and persistent inflation pressures may intensify downside risks.
Nasdaq futures rebounded 1.8% as AI stocks recovered in premarket trading following a global technology selloff that wiped $2.5 trillion from the Nasdaq's market value on Thursday.
Nvidia shares climbed over 4% premarket, while South Korea's Kospi plunged more than 6% in its worst session since 2025, as investors reassessed AI valuations and potential political intervention in data-center expansion.
The recovery could remain volatile as U.S. October jobs data and Federal Reserve commentary may reshape expectations for interest rates and the outlook for technology stocks.
Nasdaq futures rebounded 1.8% as AI stocks recovered in premarket trading following a global technology selloff that wiped $2.5 trillion from Nasdaq's market value on Thursday.
Nvidia gained over 4% premarket, while South Korea's Kospi plunged more than 6% in its worst session since 2025; investors are also bracing for U.S. October jobs data.
The recovery could extend if employment data supports market confidence, but stronger-than-expected jobs figures could increase expectations of a December Fed rate hike and renew pressure on technology stocks.
Global food prices fell 1.2% month-over-month in October as cheaper grains, dairy and meat outweighed rising sugar and vegetable-oil prices, according to the UN FAO.
The cereal price index dropped 4.5% to a one-year low, while sugar prices surged 6.6%, marking their fourth consecutive monthly increase and highest level since December 2024.
Diverging commodity trends could create continued volatility across agricultural markets, with weather-related supply disruptions potentially keeping sugar prices elevated.
Germany sold 1.548 million EU carbon permits at 87.51 euros per tonne in its latest spot auction on EEX.
The auction recorded a cover ratio of 1.74, compared with 1.55 for the EU auction on November 5 at 90 euros per tonne.
The auction results could provide further signals about demand and pricing trends in Europe's carbon market.
Bitcoin briefly reclaimed $76,000 on Friday, but remains down more than 5.3% over 24 hours as a technology-stock rout and institutional selling pressure hit crypto markets.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $430.2 million in net outflows Thursday, bringing weekly redemptions to $869.8 million, while $1.26 billion in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated, including $1.12 billion in longs.
Weak institutional demand, forced liquidations and continued equity-market pressure could leave Bitcoin vulnerable to further downside despite its recovery above $76,000.
Gold has delivered a 362% return over the past decade in India, turning a Rs.29,989 Dhanteras 2016 investment into approximately Rs.1.41 lakh by November 6, 2026.
Domestic MCX gold significantly outperformed international COMEX gold, which gained 221.1% over the same period, while domestic prices declined around 2% in today's trading.
Continued central-bank buying, record gold ETF holdings of 4,256 tonnes and potential Fed rate cuts could support another 20-25% upside by next Dhanteras, according to market forecasts.
Nasdaq futures rebounded 1.2% in premarket trading as investors attempted to stabilize after a global AI-driven selloff erased $2.5 trillion in Nasdaq market value in its worst session since April 2025.
South Korea's Kospi plunged more than 6%, while Nvidia shares recovered over 3% premarket as investors awaited crucial U.S. October jobs data; 10-year Treasury yields slipped to approximately 4.830%.
The jobs report could intensify volatility across technology stocks and broader markets by reshaping expectations for Federal Reserve interest-rate policy.
Commodity-linked currencies tumbled across Asian trading as a broader technology selloff and renewed risk aversion pressured the Australian, New Zealand and Canadian dollars.
The Australian dollar hit a nearly nine-month low against the yen, while the New Zealand dollar fell to a more than 1.5-year low against the U.S. dollar; WTI crude simultaneously surged 2.6% to $90.41 per barrel.
Continued AI-sector weakness and geopolitical uncertainty surrounding the U.S.-Iran standoff could intensify pressure on commodity currencies and sustain broader risk-off sentiment.
Copper prices have fallen to their lowest level since late July as concerns over AI infrastructure spending and potential U.S. tariff reductions weigh on market sentiment.
Three-month LME copper futures slipped 0.2% to $13,745 per metric ton, heading for a nearly 3% weekly loss amid a broader technology selloff.
Tight physical supply, declining Chinese inventories and global mine disruptions could limit further downside and support a longer-term copper recovery.
Nasdaq futures rebounded 1.2% after a global AI-driven selloff erased $2.5 trillion in U.S. stock market value, as investors reassessed technology valuations and potential political intervention in AI infrastructure expansion.
South Korea's Kospi plunged more than 6% in its worst session since 2025, while Nvidia recovered over 3% in premarket trading and investors awaited U.S. October jobs data.
Continued volatility in AI stocks could pressure technology markets, while the upcoming employment report may intensify uncertainty over Federal Reserve rate policy.
France has raised its 2026 wine production forecast to 36.7 million hectolitres from 34.9 million previously estimated, reflecting stronger-than-expected harvest yields across several major wine-producing regions.
The revised forecast is 3% above 2025 output but remains 10% below the 2021–2025 average, with Languedoc-Roussillon and Charentes accounting for roughly half of national production.
Higher-than-expected supply could ease pressure on French wine prices, although production remains below its historical average.
StockFi is developing a BSC-based platform to tokenize U.S. stocks and connect traditional equities with on-chain trading, applications and the meme ecosystem.
The platform plans to begin with one stock offering, progressively adding token issuance, trading infrastructure, custody arrangements and liquidity services, subject to product delivery and partnership progress.
If successfully implemented, StockFi could expand access to tokenized equities and create additional demand for on-chain financial products, although execution and adoption remain unproven.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $430.2 million in net outflows on November 5, extending institutional selling pressure as investors continued reducing exposure to Bitcoin investment products.
November's cumulative US ETF outflows reached $869.8 million across four sessions, while Hong Kong's four spot Bitcoin ETFs offer an expanding alternative institutional investment channel.
Continued US redemptions could pressure BTC in the near term, although Hong Kong's growing digital asset infrastructure may support longer-term institutional adoption.
Zcash's NU7 network upgrade is now live, making approximately 12,224 ZEC worth $15 million in the legacy Sprout shielded pool unspendable under the new network rules.
The upgrade reduces the target block time from 75 to 25 seconds and rejects version 4 transactions, while leaving open the possibility of restoring access through a future upgrade.
The stranded funds and uncertainty over permanent access could pressure ZEC sentiment, although the new sustainability mechanism introduces longer-term changes to network economics.
Gold has recovered above $4,000 following the US midterm elections as a weaker dollar and easing US interest rates support precious metals and mining stocks.
AuAg Funds says October brought one of gold's toughest monthly corrections in modern memory, while its outlook highlights inflation, negative real interest rates and currency debasement as longer-term bullish drivers.
Further dollar weakness and easing monetary conditions could support additional gains in gold, silver and precious-metals mining companies.
GMX has opened a tokenholder governance vote on funding Phase 2 of its $10 million Market-Making Fund, establishing a proposed Contingency Reserve to support GMX token liquidity.
The vote is live on Tally, with GMX holders deciding whether treasury funds will back market-making operations through the reserve.
Approval could strengthen GMX market liquidity and trading conditions, although the funding remains subject to the governance vote.
Gold's October correction has not erased its longer-term investment case, but near-term technical weakness and macroeconomic uncertainty leave prices vulnerable to another decline.
Gold fell 6.87% in October to $3,875 per ounce, while global gold ETFs still attracted $3.2 billion in cumulative net inflows and China's central bank purchased 21 tonnes in September.
A sustained move above $4,100 could strengthen the recovery toward $4,220, while a decisive break below $4,000 could expose gold to further losses toward $3,900.
The U.S. dollar could strengthen further if upcoming nonfarm payrolls data confirm continued resilience in the American labor market, potentially reinforcing expectations for additional Federal Reserve rate hikes.
The DXY dollar index is already up 0.4% to 101.979, while solid second-tier employment indicators have raised expectations for a strong jobs report.
A stronger-than-expected payrolls reading could boost the dollar and increase pressure on gold and other dollar-denominated assets.
Global sugar prices climbed 6.6% month-on-month in October, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization.
The increase marks a notable monthly rise in international sugar prices, although no additional supply or demand details are provided.
Continued sugar price increases could add to food-cost inflation and support further strength in sugar markets.
Global cereal prices fell 4.5% month-on-month in October, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization.
The decline signals easing international cereal price pressures over the month, although the supplied headline provides no further breakdown.
Continued declines in cereal prices could ease food-cost inflation and reduce pressure on agricultural commodity markets.
Gold futures slipped 0.8% to $4,078.10 per ounce, but the metal remains on track for weekly gains exceeding 4% as investors await U.S. payrolls data.
The decline reflects renewed dollar strength, broader risk aversion and profit-taking, while lower Treasury yields and reduced expectations of a December Fed rate hike provide underlying support.
Friday's payrolls report could reshape interest-rate expectations and trigger further volatility in gold prices.
Gold slips 0.8% to $4,078.10 per ounce but remains on track for weekly gains exceeding 4% ahead of Friday's U.S. payrolls report.
The decline reflects broader risk aversion, profit-taking and renewed dollar strength, while lower Treasury yields and reduced expectations of a December Fed rate hike provide underlying support.
Payrolls data could drive gold's next major move, with a weaker dollar and lower rate expectations potentially boosting bullish momentum.
Greece's parliament has approved a new crypto tax framework imposing a 10% capital gains tax and a 15% levy on staking and DeFi income, effective January 1, 2027.
The 10% tax applies to annual net gains exceeding €500, including crypto used for purchases, while staking, lending and DeFi liquidity income face a 15% rate.
The new tax burden could pressure crypto investment activity in Greece, although five-year loss carryforwards and a voluntary disclosure window offer some relief to investors.
China's securities regulator has approved the registration of sunflower seed oil futures and options on the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange, paving the way for new commodity derivatives markets.
The regulator said it will oversee preparations to ensure a smooth launch and stable operation of the contracts.
The new instruments could expand China's agricultural commodities derivatives market and create additional hedging and trading opportunities.
Brent and WTI crude have fallen below $100 and $90 per barrel, respectively, putting both benchmarks on track for weekly losses exceeding 13% following the U.S. midterm elections.
Brent trades at $97.54, down 0.7%, while WTI falls 0.8% to $89.83 as investors assess Washington's next move on Iran and potential diplomatic efforts.
Continued attacks on Gulf shipping and the risk of renewed military escalation could limit further oil declines by sustaining supply disruption concerns.
Oil prices may need to fall substantially further before the ECB and Bank of England abandon expectations for interest-rate hikes, according to Citi strategist Jamie Searle.
Searle says the U.S.-Iran conflict has been the defining driver of global interest rates in 2026, while the U.S. midterm results could signal a policy shift in the Middle East.
A potential geopolitical shift, combined with an equity correction and reduced U.S. fiscal expansion, could intensify bullish pressure on global interest rates.
An Illinois-based grain trader signed $600 million in US sorghum and wheat sales agreements with Chinese buyers, providing a boost to American agricultural exporters.
The agreements come as China purchased just $7.2 billion of US non-soy agricultural goods from January through September, its lowest level for the period since 2019.
The deal could signal improving agricultural trade prospects, but future export growth may remain dependent on progress in US-China tariff negotiations.
Gulf oil producers are accelerating plans to build alternative export pipelines and overseas crude storage to reduce their dependence on the Strait of Hormuz and strengthen supply security.
The UAE's second Fujairah pipeline is approximately 50% complete, with commissioning expected by June 2027, while Saudi Arabia is examining an expansion of its bypass capacity from 7 million to 10 million barrels per day.
Greater pipeline capacity and overseas storage could reduce long-term shipping risks and reshape global crude export routes, potentially weakening Hormuz's importance to oil supply flows.
Asian diesel markets experienced a volatile week as the east-west price spread narrowed across prompt and forward months, while ample regional supplies continued to weigh on market sentiment.
Lower-than-expected November exports from China limited price weakness, while refining margins recovered more than $9 per barrel to nearly $64 and the east-west discounts narrowed to approximately $170 and $110 respectively.
The narrowing arbitrage window and signs of growing global oil oversupply could pressure diesel pricing and intensify competition among regional refiners.
Airbnb topped forecasts and surged 11%, while Microchip beat estimates but cut guidance, according to the source. Charter Communications, Humana and Fluor are also scheduled to report earnings heading into Friday, keeping the named companies' results and Microchip's guidance update in focus. The source identifies Airbnb, Charter Communications, Humana, Fluor and Microchip as stocks to watch.
Asian naphtha prices rebounded 2.9% to $963.50 per metric ton, ending a five-session losing streak as crude oil gains and Middle East supply risks supported prices.
First-half December naphtha traded in steep backwardation of $47 per ton, while Singapore light distillate inventories declined and refining margins eased to $211.18 per ton.
Persistent Middle East supply risks could continue supporting naphtha prices, although expectations of geopolitical de-escalation and weaker crude oil could limit further gains.
AI and blockchain adoption is expanding across African agriculture, but significant infrastructure, data governance and economic barriers must be addressed before smallholder farmers can benefit.
Research reviewing studies from 2005 to 2025 identifies four priorities: reliable data, actionable farmer-focused tools, clear data ownership rules and measurable economic incentives.
Addressing these challenges could accelerate digital agriculture adoption across Africa, although weak connectivity, high costs and unequal control over farm data may slow progress.
World Liberty Financial plans another WLFI token buyback after the token plunged more than 66% year-to-date and roughly 10% since Tuesday.
The Trump-backed venture may fund purchases using fees from reserves backing its USD1 stablecoin, while Justin Sun is seeking court sanctions over approximately 4 billion frozen WLFI tokens.
The planned buybacks could provide price support for WLFI, but continued selling pressure and the ongoing legal dispute may limit any recovery.
Copper fell 1.3% and was on track for its worst weekly decline since March as an AI-driven technology selloff weakened investor sentiment toward metals. London copper futures were down 3.44% for the week, while SHFE warehouse inventories plunged over 24% to 33,848 tons, their lowest level in almost three years. Persistent mine supply constraints and record-high Chinese import premiums could cushion further losses despite continued pressure from AI investment concerns.
The U.S. dollar rebounded as oil prices recovered amid renewed Middle East tensions, with the DXY index rising 0.3% to 101.833. Iranian forces reported that two oil tankers and a tugboat caught fire near the Strait of Hormuz, while investors awaited U.S. nonfarm payrolls data for clues on the Federal Reserve's next rate decisions. Renewed energy-driven inflation concerns and stronger expectations for Fed rate hikes could provide further support for the dollar.
Indian Gas Exchange trading volumes surged 326% year-on-year to a record 13.28 million MMBtu in October 2026, driven by strong demand from the power sector.
The power sector accounted for 5.69 million MMBtu of free-market gas trading, while the GIXI benchmark price climbed 154.44% year-on-year to Rs 2,471 per MMBtu.
Rising gas demand and benchmark prices could signal strengthening pressure on India's natural gas market, although monthly trading volumes declined 25.25%.
Zcash activated its major NU7 network upgrade on mainnet, cutting block times threefold from 75 seconds to 25 seconds while introducing a new mechanism to support long-term network sustainability.
The upgrade preserves ZEC's 21 million supply cap and existing halving schedule, while directing 60% of transaction fees into a public reserve.
The changes could strengthen Zcash's long-term network security and token economics, although ZEC faces near-term selling pressure after dropping 5.17% amid a broader crypto market downturn.
Saudi Arabia cut its December Arab Light crude selling price to Asia to a six-year low, putting further pressure on Middle East crude benchmarks.
Saudi Aramco lowered the price by $2 per barrel to a $6.50 discount against the Oman/Dubai average, while Dubai spot premiums slipped 8 cents to $1.47 per barrel.
Ample supply and cooling Asian refining margins could continue weighing on Middle East crude prices, although regional supply risks may limit further downside.
