India's gold demand is forecast to fall to around 650 metric tons in 2026, its lowest level in six years, as elevated prices and weakening rural incomes suppress purchases.
Gold demand dropped 29% year-on-year to 162.5 metric tons in the September quarter, with jewellery demand falling 20% and investment demand declining 40%.
Despite potential seasonal support from Diwali and the wedding season, high prices and weak agricultural incomes could continue pressuring India's gold demand and imports.
The Q4 market selloff has materialized despite widespread expectations that a correction would not happen, with the Nasdaq falling more than 10% and Bitcoin facing similar seasonal downside concerns.
The Russell index has declined 11% to 12%, the Dow Jones is down about 7%, and the S&P 500 has slipped roughly 4%; analyst Benjamin Cowen expects a potential market bottom within the next couple of months.
Further seasonal weakness and geopolitical uncertainty could pressure equities and Bitcoin before a potential rebound, although other strategists view the correction as a buying opportunity.
Malaysian palm oil futures extended losses for a second consecutive session, falling 0.71% to 4,616 ringgit per metric ton as concerns over elevated stockpiles weighed on prices.
Dalian soyoil dropped 1.3%, while Malaysian palm oil exports rose an estimated 45.4% to 73.5% month over month in October; technical analysis points to potential support near 4,597 ringgit.
Persistent inventory concerns and weakness in competing edible oils could pressure palm oil further, despite stronger exports and rising crude oil prices.
China's seaborne thermal coal imports remained steady at 24.07 million metric tons in October, masking significant shifts in domestic production and overseas supply sources.
Imports from Indonesia fell to 14.13 million tons, their weakest level since April, while Australian shipments climbed to 6.42 million tons, their strongest since April last year; China's September domestic coal output recovered to 385.13 million tons.
A potentially strong El Niño could further reshape coal supply and demand, reducing Chinese heating demand while disrupting Indonesian exports and potentially benefiting Australian shipments.
The November 3 US midterm elections could influence Indian equities by reshaping US fiscal, trade and regulatory policies, with potential spillovers through global capital flows and investor sentiment.
A divided Congress could ease Treasury yields and dollar strength, while continued Republican control could sustain fiscal expansion and pressure emerging markets; a Democratic majority could increase scrutiny of US technology companies.
The Sensex and Nifty 50 could face short-term volatility as foreign investment flows, the rupee, crude oil prices and US bond yields respond to the election outcome.
BlackRock transferred approximately $405.3 million worth of Bitcoin as investors continued redeeming shares of its iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), adding to selling pressure across spot Bitcoin ETFs.
The fund moved 3,215 BTC worth approximately $262 million and another 1,698 BTC worth $136 million to Coinbase Prime, while Bitcoin ETFs recorded $635 million in net outflows on October 23.
The redemption-driven selling could intensify short-term Bitcoin price pressure, although BlackRock says the transfers reflect investor demand rather than a change in its Bitcoin outlook.
Arbitrum’s Security Council moved approximately $30 million in ETH and ARB linked to the Binance exploiter without requiring the hacker’s private key, using emergency control over the network’s upgrade mechanism.
The operation transferred over 8,425 ETH and 74 million ARB into a holding address, with the original Inbox contract code restored in the same transaction; the funds now require an ArbitrumDAO governance vote to move again.
The intervention could strengthen confidence in recovering stolen assets but may intensify concerns about Arbitrum’s decentralization and the power of its Security Council.
Steel rebar futures have fallen toward CNY 3,000 per ton, approaching three-month lows as weak demand, elevated inventories and shrinking profit margins weigh on the Chinese steel market.
The World Steel Association downgraded its global steel demand outlook to a 0.1% contraction, while Chinese steel consumption is expected to decline 2% this year amid the prolonged property downturn.
Continued weakness in China's construction sector and global steel demand could keep pressure on steel prices, although India's projected demand growth offers a potential offset.
Goldman Sachs sharply raised its 2027 European natural gas price forecasts, citing persistent Middle East LNG supply disruptions and winter weather risks.
The bank lifted its Q1 2027 TTF forecast to €74/MWh from €44 and its full-year forecast to €51/MWh from €32, while estimating a 47% probability of persistently low LNG supply and colder-than-average temperatures.
Continued disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz and colder winter conditions could intensify European gas supply tightness and drive further price upside.
CFTC Chair Michael Selig says the Binance hack underscores the need for stronger U.S. regulatory safeguards for offshore cryptocurrency exchanges.
Selig proposed an optional federal registration pathway requiring platforms to meet U.S.-equivalent cybersecurity standards, while noting the attack did not target blockchain infrastructure or on-chain contracts.
The proposal could intensify regulatory pressure on offshore exchanges and accelerate efforts to bring crypto trading platforms under U.S. oversight.
Bitcoin has fallen below $77,000 as institutional ETF withdrawals, leveraged liquidations and uncertainty over US interest rates intensify pressure on the cryptocurrency market.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $643 million in net outflows on October 30, while approximately $366 million in crypto positions were liquidated over 24 hours, with long positions accounting for nearly 84% of liquidations.
Continued institutional outflows and macroeconomic uncertainty could keep Bitcoin under pressure and increase volatility throughout November, despite Strategy purchasing another 811 BTC worth $65.5 million.
Asian stocks tumbled ahead of the US midterm elections, with South Korean and Taiwanese equities leading regional losses as investors reassessed technology-sector risks and political uncertainty.
MSCI Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan fell 1.4%, South Korean stocks dropped as much as 4.1%, and Taiwanese shares slid 3.3%; meanwhile, the RBA raised its cash rate by 25 basis points to 4.85% and Brent crude stabilised near $105.30.
Continued election uncertainty, concerns about technology earnings, and Middle East tensions could intensify volatility across global equities, currencies, and commodity markets.
Iron ore futures slipped toward CNY 670 per ton, remaining near four-year lows as rising global shipments and weak Chinese steel demand intensified supply-side pressure.
Shipments from Australia and Brazil increased 1.3% week-on-week to 27.9 million tons, while weak steelmaker margins and elevated inventories continued to discourage restocking in China.
Iron ore could face further downside pressure if rising supply continues to outpace Chinese demand, although a rebound in hot metal production after environmental restrictions lift may provide support.
A Polymarket account purchased $600,000 in shares betting Democrats will not control both the Senate and House after the 2026 U.S. midterm elections.
The account acquired 2,450,422.3 shares at an average price of 27.8 cents despite having accumulated $82,500 in prior losses.
The large position could draw attention to prediction-market sentiment around congressional control, but it does not establish the election outcome.
Binance has restored ETH network withdrawals for five stablecoins, including RLUSD, USD1, TUSD, FDUSD and XUSD.
The exchange confirmed that additional withdrawal services across more assets and networks will be restored in phases as security checks are completed.
The restoration could improve stablecoin withdrawal access and reduce operational uncertainty for affected users.
Malaysian palm oil futures extended their decline, remaining below MYR 4,700 per tonne as abundant inventories and weakness in competing edible oils pressured prices.
Palm oil stocks hit a record high in September and are expected to exceed 3 million tonnes by year-end, while Indonesia cut its November reference price by 6.1% to USD 978.90 per tonne.
However, October export shipments surged 45.4%–73.5% monthly, and stronger biodiesel demand potential could help limit further downside.
Copper futures declined toward $6.40 per pound as renewed selling in technology stocks and concerns over stretched AI valuations weighed on demand expectations for the metal.
Copper faces pressure from potential December Fed rate hikes, while Chilean production fell to its lowest level in at least two decades during Q3, providing a supply-side cushion.
Continued weakness in technology stocks could pressure copper further, although constrained Chilean production and limited output recovery expectations may support prices.
The Indian rupee strengthened 24 paise to 94.66 against the US dollar as a sharp decline in crude oil prices eased pressure on India's import bill and external balances.
Brent crude plunged around 11% on Monday to approximately $104.70 per barrel, while traders identified 94.50-94.70 as a key resistance zone for the rupee.
Further oil price declines could support additional rupee gains, but US dollar strength, RBI intervention and broader Asian currency weakness may limit the recovery.
Gold slipped 0.5% to $3,926.52 per ounce as investors awaited US midterm election results, extending its consolidation after last week's sharp selloff despite a more than 2% rebound in the previous session.
Gold remains under pressure as investors sell liquid assets to cover losses and margin calls, while markets price a 74% probability of a December Fed rate hike; silver also dropped 1.8% to $49.71 per ounce.
Election-driven volatility, elevated interest-rate expectations and continued liquidation could keep pressure on precious metals despite their traditional safe-haven appeal.
Indian equities staged a powerful rally on Monday, with Reliance Industries surging 11.6% to become the biggest contributor as the Sensex jumped more than 1,200 points and the Nifty reclaimed 23,400.
The Sensex gained 1.66% to 75,692.78, while the Nifty advanced 1.68% to 23,440.80; Brent crude fell around 3% to $110 amid renewed hopes of a diplomatic breakthrough in the Iran conflict.
Lower oil prices and continued foreign fund inflows could support further gains in Indian equities, although analysts warn that sustaining the recovery will require broader earnings support.
A more than 7% drop in gold prices over the past month is reviving jewellery demand in India ahead of Dhanteras, with shoppers returning to stores and placing advance wedding-season orders.
India's Bullion and Jewellers Association expects Dhanteras sales volume to rise 10-12% year over year, while Mumbai spot gold trades at ₹1.37 lakh per 10 grams, down from ₹1.48 lakh a month earlier.
Improved affordability could sustain festive and wedding-season demand, potentially supporting gold consumption despite prices remaining historically elevated.
Solana-based wallet Solflare has entered a heightened security alert following a series of recent crypto industry attacks, tightening controls across its infrastructure and development process.
The team has restricted infrastructure and code access, introduced multiple approval layers for all changes, and paused new additions.
The security-first shift could reduce development risks but may slow Solflare's product expansion and development pace.
Iron ore is entering its historically strongest three-month seasonal window, with prices averaging a 14.4% gain from November through January since 2010, but China's weakening construction sector and rising inventories threaten the outlook. Chinese port stockpiles have climbed 15% year-on-year to 173.7 million tonnes, while Fortescue shipments fell 6% to 46.8 million tonnes and its CMRG dispute threatens potential production disruptions if unresolved by year-end. Seasonal demand and potential supply constraints could support iron ore prices, but weak Chinese demand and Fortescue's unresolved China dispute may limit gains.
Brent crude could remain elevated in a $95-$115 per barrel range, as geopolitical uncertainty surrounding Iran makes a sustained oil price decline difficult without meaningful progress toward peace. Geoffrey Dennis warned that further potential attacks on Iran remain a major uncertainty, while disappointing AI earnings and heavy data-center spending are also weighing on technology stocks. Persistent Middle East tensions could keep a risk premium in crude prices, while further AI earnings disappointments could intensify pressure on technology equities.
Copper fell as risk-off sentiment ahead of the US midterm elections and uncertainty surrounding the US-Iran conflict weighed on industrial metals markets, while a stronger dollar added pressure on Chinese demand. Three-month LME copper dropped 1.27% to $14,163.50 per ton, while the dollar gained 0.33% against the yuan; however, China's Yangshan copper premium remained near a more than decade-high $200 per ton and SHFE warehouse inventories were down over 75% in six months. Continued geopolitical uncertainty and currency pressure could weigh on copper prices, although tight Chinese physical supply may limit further losses.
Extended has announced XTEN tokenomics, allocating 30% of its 1 billion token supply to community airdrops and 20% to ecosystem development.
Founders and the team receive 25.14%, while investors receive 24.86%, with both allocations subject to 12-month lockups or cliffs followed by 36 months of linear unlocking.
The substantial community allocation and ecosystem reserve could support early adoption and platform growth, while the immediate TGE unlock could introduce significant token supply pressure.
Hong Kong has completed its first interbank transaction involving tokenized gold and tokenized deposits through the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's EnsembleTX platform.
Zhaojin Mining, CCB (Asia) and Bank of East Asia participated, using Hong Kong dollar RTGS for delivery versus payment and linking gold and funds ledgers in a single clearing process.
The milestone could accelerate institutional adoption of tokenized real-world assets and modernize gold trading and interbank settlement infrastructure.
An address identified as the BlueMove hacker bridged $115,000 in USDC from Ethereum to Hyperliquid and purchased 188.25 XMR at $608.43 per coin.
The transaction follows the July 11, 2026 BlueMove exploit, in which the attacker stole 710,670 SUI from 389 locked liquidity pools.
The purchase could increase scrutiny of suspicious crypto fund movements and raise concerns about the movement of exploit proceeds into privacy-focused assets.
Arthur Hayes expects Bitcoin weakness to persist until the Federal Reserve or commercial banks expand their balance sheets, despite rising dollar liquidity.
The .USDLIQ gauge has climbed 4.49% this year to 32.71 million but remains 0.6% below its October peak, while BTC has dipped below $77,000 and lagged record global money supply of $103.66 trillion.
Bitcoin could remain under pressure until meaningful balance-sheet expansion provides additional liquidity to support crypto markets.
Asian central banks may need to reassess their monetary policy outlooks after the U.S. midterm elections as dollar movements, energy prices and capital flows could affect inflation and financial stability.
A stronger dollar and higher energy costs could make interest-rate cuts more difficult in vulnerable Asian economies, while lower import costs could create room for easing.
These cross-border pressures could complicate monetary policy decisions and widen differences in easing capacity across Asia.
Arthur Hayes expects Bitcoin weakness to persist until the Federal Reserve or commercial banks begin expanding their balance sheets, making monetary expansion a key condition for a sustained recovery.
The US dollar liquidity index has risen 4.49% this year to 32.71 million but remains 0.6% below its October peak of 32.90 million.
Without renewed balance-sheet expansion from the Fed or banks, Bitcoin could remain under pressure despite improving dollar liquidity indicators.
Asian energy shipping companies and oil producers tumbled after crude prices suffered their biggest daily decline in months amid renewed hopes for a diplomatic deal to end the Middle East conflict.
WTI and Brent futures both settled more than 7% lower on Monday, while South Korea's S-Oil plunged 10% and SK Innovation dropped 8.4%.
Further progress toward peace talks could reduce the geopolitical premium in crude and maintain pressure on oil prices and energy-related equities.
CBOT January soybeans face potential downside toward $12.12-1/4 per bushel, with a confirmed break below that level potentially opening the way for further losses.
Technical analysis points to a downside target of $11.97-1/2 to $12.02-3/4, while the daily chart indicates a possible extension toward $11.86-3/4.
A sustained break below support could intensify selling pressure, although a move above $12.21-1/2 may open a recovery toward $12.27-$12.30-1/2.
European natural gas prices stabilized at €95/MWh after plunging more than 8% in the previous session amid optimism over potential US-Iran peace talks.
Diplomatic progress remains uncertain as shipping attacks in the Strait of Hormuz continue, while European gas storage stands at 74.56%, below historical averages.
Unseasonably cold temperatures across Northern and Central Europe could increase heating demand, trigger early storage withdrawals and put renewed upward pressure on natural gas prices.
India's estimated 30,000 tonnes of household and temple-held gold could help reduce the country's dependence on imported gold if more idle holdings are recycled or monetised.
India consumes approximately 700–800 tonnes of gold annually, while SafeGold reports more than 100,000 customers have opted for its gold leasing offering, compared with around 7,000 retail users registered under the government's Gold Monetisation Scheme.
Expanding gold recycling and leasing could strengthen domestic supply and reduce import dependence, although consumer trust and regulatory safeguards remain key challenges.
Binance is preparing to reopen withdrawals for additional cryptocurrencies in a second recovery phase following last week's record $6.3 billion hack.
The rollout is scheduled to begin Tuesday at 04:00 UTC, covering networks including Ethereum, Solana, XRP Ledger, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Optimism, Tron and Base, with withdrawals resuming progressively after security checks.
The phased reopening could gradually restore user confidence and liquidity access, although the scale of the hack and ongoing recovery process remain significant concerns.
Malaysian palm oil futures fell 0.8% to 4,612 ringgit per ton, extending losses for a second session as weakness in competing Dalian vegetable oils weighed on prices.
Dalian soyoil dropped 1.41% and Dalian palm oil declined 0.64%, while firmer crude oil, a weaker ringgit and stronger Malaysian export estimates provided some support.
Palm oil could retest 4,597 ringgit per ton if competing oils remain weak and resistance at 4,688 ringgit continues to hold.
HashKey Exchange has added three WisdomTree tokenized U.S. Treasury funds to its Earn platform, expanding access to blockchain-based traditional financial products. The funds cover short-term, 3–7 year and 7–10 year U.S. Treasuries and are available exclusively to eligible professional investors. The integration could accelerate institutional adoption of tokenized real-world assets and strengthen the connection between traditional fixed-income markets and crypto infrastructure.
Gold faces renewed downside risk, with spot prices potentially revisiting the October 30 low of $3,870 per ounce as the recent rebound appears to have lost momentum. Two failed attempts to break $3,967 resistance reinforce the bearish technical outlook, while the next downside target stands at $3,839. A sustained break below $3,870 could extend the decline, although a move above $3,967 may open the way toward $3,984–$4,001.
Prom announced a Triple+ integration that brings its result-based settlement system to an agent aggregation layer connecting multiple marketplaces. The integration matches user intent with bonded agents across connected marketplaces, while PROM is positioned as a core utility component and settlement is released based on delivered results rather than participant relationships. This could strengthen PROM's utility within agent-driven commerce and expand its role in automated marketplace transactions.

Palm oil prices edged higher in Asian trading as improved market sentiment and bargain hunting supported a recovery after recent declines.
The January Bursa Malaysia Derivatives contract gained 1 ringgit to 4,650 ringgit per ton, with support at 4,600 and resistance at 4,800 ringgit.
However, elevated Malaysian inventories and movements in soybean oil and crude oil prices could limit gains and keep palm oil direction sensitive to broader commodity markets.
A wallet suspected of being linked to the theft of $106 million from an EU entity bought 27,553 ETH in a single day, according to on-chain analyst Ai Yi.
The purchases, valued at $62.83 million, were completed entirely on-chain at an average cost of $2,280.34 per ETH. The address appeared to have paused buying after building the position.
The activity places the wallet’s subsequent transfers, sales, or additional accumulation under market scrutiny. The reported transaction is an on-chain spot purchase and does not provide evidence of broader ETH price, volume, or flow changes.

Gold and silver prices fell as expectations of higher US interest rates for longer outweighed safe-haven demand amid renewed US-Iran tensions.
COMEX gold dropped 0.33% to $3,956.60 per ounce, while silver declined 1.14% to $50.31; Brent and WTI crude both gained 0.5% following reports of US strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island.
Rising energy prices could reinforce inflation concerns and delay monetary easing, potentially keeping precious metals under pressure and increasing volatility across commodity markets.
Bitcoin's recovery is facing renewed pressure as the $77,000-$80,000 support zone is being tested following last week's $6.3 billion Binance hack.
BTC is trading around $77,025, with analysts highlighting weak spot demand, pressure from U.S. technology valuations and fragile market sentiment; a break below $75,000 could expose Bitcoin to further losses.
Bitcoin could remain range-bound if buyers defend the $76,000 support area, but continued risk aversion and weakening equity markets may intensify downside pressure.
Oil prices were mixed and Asian stocks fell as investors weighed escalating U.S.-Iran tensions, uncertain diplomacy and caution ahead of the U.S. midterm elections.

Progress toward US-Iran negotiations could further pressure oil prices while supporting gold through shifting inflation expectations and geopolitical risk sentiment.
Bitcoin's $77,000–$80,000 support zone is being tested following last week's Binance hack, with analysts warning that broader equity market performance could determine BTC's next trading range.
Bitcoin previously held above $80,000 through the October 28 Federal Reserve decision but traded around $78,000 on October 29, while spot demand remains relatively weak.
Continued weakness in technology stocks and limited spot buying could intensify selling pressure and put the critical support zone at risk.
OKX's 49th proof-of-reserves report shows a significant increase in user Bitcoin and Ethereum holdings, while USDT balances declined sharply in the latest snapshot.
As of November 1, BTC reserves rose 9.66% to 156,609 BTC and ETH holdings increased 2.95% to 1.92 million ETH, while USDT balances dropped 9% to 7.96 billion tokens.
Rising BTC and ETH balances could signal increased accumulation or asset transfers into OKX, while declining USDT holdings may indicate reduced stablecoin balances on the exchange.
Oil companies' stocks fell after crude oil prices slumped overnight, putting pressure on energy-sector equities.
The reported decline links weakness in oil prices with losses across oil company shares, although no specific companies or price movements were provided.
Continued weakness in crude prices could extend selling pressure on oil producers and energy stocks.

The Financial Services Commission reviewed exchange security controls and withdrawal procedures, while South Korean law already requires platforms to keep at least 80% of customer crypto assets in cold storage.
Tighter security requirements and increased regulatory scrutiny could raise compliance costs for exchanges while strengthening confidence in crypto custody and asset protection.

Further restarts of curtailed Middle Eastern aluminum smelting capacity are expected to proceed more gradually, potentially limiting the pace of new supply.
Alcoa cites difficult smelter economics, particularly high alumina import costs, while aluminum prices have fallen roughly 17% since early June partly amid rising volumes from regional restarts.
Slower capacity growth could ease concerns about additional aluminum supply and provide support for prices.
