The decline could put further pressure on copper if technology-sector weakness continues to undermine demand expectations, although supply constraints may provide support.
Binance founder CZ warned that AI-powered cyberattacks against cryptocurrency exchanges and banks could increase in the near term, following the reported $6.4 billion Binance heist.

The average domestic gold price reached Rs 1,48,891 per 10 grams in Q3, around 45% higher than a year earlier, while consumers increasingly shifted towards lighter pieces and lower-carat jewellery.

Further diplomatic progress and continued supply availability could keep downward pressure on crude prices.

Further diplomatic progress and continued energy supply could ease geopolitical risk premiums and put additional pressure on crude prices.
The 2026 U.S. midterm elections could reshape the future of cryptocurrency regulation by changing congressional control and the prospects for the stalled CLARITY Act.

Gold has failed to attract safe-haven demand during recent market turbulence, falling below $4,000 an ounce to its lowest level in a year.
The metal is down 9% year to date and has lost around a quarter of its value since the U.S. and Israel first attacked Iran on February 28, even as central-bank purchases rose 42% in the third quarter to 321 metric tons.
Gold's deeply oversold position could support a rebound, but continued market stress may trigger further selling if investors need liquidity.

The expansion and broader execution services could strengthen institutional liquidity across digital assets and tokenized traditional markets, although U.S. regulatory approvals remain unresolved.
Gold recovered to around $3,965 an ounce on Tuesday as falling oil prices eased inflation concerns and supported investor demand for the precious metal. Oil retreated after President Donald Trump announced plans to end the $4 billion US aid programme to Israel by year-end, while markets continued pricing a nearly 73% chance of a December Fed rate hike. Further oil weakness could ease inflationary pressures and support gold, although elevated rate-hike expectations and weaker investment-growth forecasts could limit upside.

Sustained inflows could signal improving confidence in Binance, although continued longer-term withdrawals suggest liquidity movement remains mixed.
Israel's inconclusive election has added uncertainty to the outlook for oil prices, with the risk of a wider Middle East conflict depending partly on the next government.
BCA Research estimates a 70% chance that tensions stabilise or ease, but says the risk of a major conflict and serious oil supply shock rises to 42% if Benjamin Netanyahu remains in power.
A major escalation could push oil prices to $150 a barrel or higher, potentially reigniting inflation concerns and pressuring global growth.

Diminishing political returns and continued uncertainty over regulation could weigh on confidence in the crypto sector despite its substantial campaign spending.
China's seaborne thermal coal imports remained steady at 24.07 million metric tons in October, but shifting domestic production, supplier constraints and El Nino risks are reshaping the coal market.
Indonesian shipments remain significantly below year-earlier levels, while Australian imports reached their strongest levels since April and May last year, respectively; China's domestic coal production also began recovering in September.
A strong El Nino could reduce China's winter coal demand while tightening Indonesian export supply, potentially increasing volatility in global thermal coal markets.

A major volatility expansion could be approaching, but the direction may depend on US midterm results and whether the 233.46 million stolen XRP begins moving.
U.S. midterm elections could reshape the outlook for crypto regulation, with a Democratic takeover of Congress potentially reducing the chances of reviving the stalled Clarity Act.

The HSP-029 proposal received 99.9% support from participating voting power and projects reducing issuance by 11.8 million NEAR over two years, while gross staking yields are expected to decline from 5.2% to 3.3%.
If implemented, the reduction could limit long-term token dilution, although lower staking yields and continued selling pressure could weigh on NEAR in the near term.

South Korea is considering raising its minimum cold wallet storage requirement for crypto exchanges from 80% to approximately 99% following the recent Binance hack.
Upbit reportedly already stores over 99% of customer assets in cold wallets, compared with 94% at Bithumb and 85% at Coinone, while industry participants warn of potential withdrawal delays and higher operating costs.
If adopted, the proposal could strengthen crypto custody security but increase operational pressure on smaller exchanges.
BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, recorded $405.3 million in outflows during the November 2 session. The withdrawal was the fund's largest daily outflow in more than four months.
The flow data puts focus on institutional Bitcoin demand as market caution rises. Whether ETF outflows persist or reverse will help distinguish a single de-risking event from broader allocation reductions.
Ethereum is seeing a divergence between weakening institutional demand and growing accumulation by large crypto holders, suggesting whales may be positioning after its prolonged correction.
U.S. spot Ether ETFs recorded $155.9 million in net outflows on October 30, their largest daily withdrawal since October 7, while ETH recovered 0.4% to $2,263 after hitting a 10-week low of $2,178.

BTC is approximately 5.2% above its 200-day average, while historical data shows Bitcoin finished higher 12 months after every previous midterm election.
The historical setup could support Bitcoin over the longer term, although near-term volatility may intensify around election outcomes, geopolitical risks and Friday's U.S. jobs report.

However, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $643.3 million in net outflows on October 30, while BTC traded at $76,986 after reaching a six-week low of $76,197.

Despite strong investment inflows, XRP's Coinbase Premium Index dropped to an eight-month low near -0.16%, while XRP traded around $1.25, approximately 65% below its July 2025 record close.
Strong institutional product demand could support XRP over the longer term, but weakening Coinbase demand and the movement of 80 million XRP from a wallet labeled Binance Hack 2026 could sustain market uncertainty.
U.S.-listed spot Solana ETFs recorded $71.47 million in net outflows last week, marking their largest weekly withdrawals since launch and extending the outflow streak to four consecutive weeks.
Meanwhile, Solmate Infrastructure reported holding 1.26 million SOL as of October 29, with its assets custodied at Kraken, Anchorage Digital or BitGo and no Binance exposure.
