Read AI analysis →Gold surged nearly 2% to a two-week high of $4,134.83 per ounce as a weaker US dollar and declining Treasury yields boosted bullion following the US midterm elections. Gold gained 3.4% on Wednesday, its biggest daily advance since August 19, while the 10-year Treasury yield fell to 4.87%; traders are pricing in an 82% chance of a December Fed rate hike.

Read AI analysis →US natural gas prices slipped to around $2.94 per MMBtu as traders awaited the latest weekly storage report, with mild weather and subdued demand weighing on the market. Analysts expect inventories to reach 1.4% above normal, while LNG export flows have declined to 18.1 bcfd from October's 18.4 bcfd average. Above-average temperatures through November 19 could keep heating demand weak and maintain downward pressure on natural gas prices, although declining domestic production may limit losses.

Read AI analysis →Copper gains 0.6% in early Asian trading as investors assess the U.S. midterm election results against the metal's supportive long-term fundamentals. The three-month LME copper contract trades at $14,093 per ton, while concerns over potential AI and data-center investment scrutiny add uncertainty to future demand. Copper could face an extended consolidation period as traders reassess tariff risks, inventory flows and the U.S. demand outlook, despite positive long-term fundamentals.
Read AI analysis →European natural gas prices fell to €86/MWh, extending weekly losses to approximately 17% and reaching their lowest level in more than three weeks as hopes of a US-Iran diplomatic resolution eased supply disruption concerns. Qatar continues mediating between the US and Iran, but European gas storage stands at just 74.33% of capacity, below the 80% minimum target and at its lowest seasonal level in more than a decade. Further diplomatic progress could pressure gas prices, although disrupted Persian Gulf LNG deliveries, low inventories and colder winter forecasts could trigger renewed price spikes.
Read AI analysis →US gasoline futures dropped to around $2.70 per gallon, their lowest level since early March, as expectations of progress toward ending the US-Iran war weighed on prices. Democratic victories in both chambers of Congress raised expectations of diplomatic efforts, while the Energy Department is working with refiners to increase output and restart idled facilities; gasoline inventories nevertheless fell 222,000 barrels and remain 2% below the five-year average. Further diplomatic progress and increased refinery production could extend the decline, although tight inventories and seasonal refinery maintenance may limit additional downside.
Read AI analysis →Gold-linked stocks across Asia are gaining as a rally in precious metals boosts investor interest in gold-related equities. The reported strength in precious metals is providing a positive backdrop for gold-linked shares across regional markets. Continued strength in gold prices could further support Asian gold miners and related equities, although a reversal in metals momentum could pressure gains.
Read AI analysis →Spot gold could extend its rebound toward $4,188-$4,285 per ounce after breaking above key resistance at $4,068. Technical analysis identifies $4,188 as the initial upside target, with stronger bullish momentum pointing toward a potential higher zone of $4,285-$4,382. Holding the $4,109-$4,118 support range could help sustain upward momentum and extend gold's recovery.
Read AI analysis →Asian airline stocks rallied while energy and shipping shares tumbled as falling oil prices and hopes of de-escalation in the Iran conflict triggered a sharp sector rotation. Brent and WTI crude futures plunged more than 8% on Wednesday, while Japan Airlines gained 6.2% and China Eastern Airlines jumped 7.4%. Continued geopolitical de-escalation could further pressure crude prices and energy stocks while boosting airline profitability through lower fuel costs.
Read AI analysis →Indian government bonds are poised to extend their rally as a sharp decline in US Treasury yields and an 8% plunge in Brent crude strengthen expectations of easing inflation and borrowing-cost pressures. Brent fell to a more than two-month low of $93.70 per barrel, while India's benchmark 2036 bond yield dropped over 11 basis points to 7.1880% on Wednesday. Lower oil prices and softer rate-hike expectations could further support Indian bonds and ease pressure on the rupee and government finances.
Read AI analysis →US heating oil futures fell to around $4.17 per gallon, their lowest level since late August, as expectations of progress toward ending the US-Iran war weighed on prices. The US Energy Department plans to release 300,000 barrels from its Northeast emergency heating oil reserve to four companies, while distillate inventories fell 3.6 million barrels to 13% below their five-year average. Despite the planned reserve release, tight supplies could limit further downside as winter heating demand approaches.
Read AI analysis →BNB broke above the $720 mark and was last quoted at $720.06, according to Golden Finance, which cited market data. The token was up 4% over 24 hours. The move puts the round-number $720 threshold back on traders’ radar, and the source noted that market volatility was high. The immediate setup is whether BNB can hold above $720 rather than only briefly print a breakout; the summary flags that a failed hold could quickly turn into profit-taking, while sustained strength would keep broader large-cap crypto rotation in focus.
Read AI analysis →Palm oil prices declined as weaker soybean oil and crude oil markets pressured sentiment, with concerns over potentially record-high Malaysian inventories adding further downside pressure. January Bursa Malaysia palm oil futures fell 47 ringgit to 4,449 ringgit per ton, approaching the cited 4,400-ringgit support level. Continued weakness in competing vegetable oils and energy prices, alongside elevated inventories, could keep palm oil under pressure.
Read AI analysis →Iron ore climbed to a one-month high as a sharp rally in Chinese equities and improving steel margins boosted sentiment across the steelmaking sector. China's Dalian iron ore futures gained 1.55% to 689.5 yuan per ton, while Singapore December futures rose 0.87% to $92.65, supported by expectations of higher hot metal production and stronger feedstock demand. Improving steel profitability and constrained coal supply could support further gains across iron ore and related steelmaking commodities into year-end.
Read AI analysis →Oil extended its losing streak to four sessions as easing geopolitical concerns pressured crude, while gold held its strongest rally since August amid a weaker US dollar and falling Treasury yields. Brent dropped 1.03% to $93.65 per barrel and WTI fell 1.29% to $86.98, following previous-session losses exceeding 8%, while gold traded near $4,070 an ounce after surging 3.3%.

Read AI analysis →Brent crude plunged nearly 9% below $100 as Democratic midterm victories raised hopes of an end to the US-Iran war, triggering a broad shift across global markets. Oil has fallen approximately 20% this week, while the S&P 500 gained 1.6% and Asian chip-heavy markets weakened amid expectations of tougher data centre regulation. A potential resolution to the Iran conflict could push oil prices lower still, ease inflation pressures and reduce expectations for future interest rate hikes.
Read AI analysis →On Nov 5, WTI and Brent crude both fell more than 1% intraday, with WTI trading at $87.04 per barrel and Brent at $92.87 per barrel. The move puts energy-linked risk back on the tape, but the headline alone does not establish a specific catalyst. Traders are watching whether crude can stabilize around current levels and whether the decline spills into oil-sensitive equities, inflation expectations and broader commodity positioning; the referenced instruments are USOIL, UKOIL and OIL(USOON).
Read AI analysis →Brent and WTI crude futures plunged more than 8% as US midterm election results fueled expectations of a potential resolution to the Middle East conflict and reduced geopolitical risk premiums. WTI traded at $87.77 per barrel and Brent at $94.64, while continued Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz and escalation risks remain major supply concerns. Further diplomatic progress could pressure oil prices, while renewed Middle East tensions or prolonged shipping disruptions could trigger a sharp rebound.

Osaka rubber futures gained 0.16% to 431.9 yen per kg, while Shanghai rubber futures fell 0.55% and butadiene rubber plunged 6.97%. Severe rainfall and flash-flood risks in Thailand could disrupt rubber production and support prices, although continued weakness in oil and synthetic rubber markets may limit gains.
Read AI analysis →European natural-gas prices fell 3.7% as traders assessed the possibility of renewed US strikes on Iran, with geopolitical uncertainty keeping energy supply risks elevated. The Dutch TTF benchmark dropped to 88.19 euros per megawatt-hour, while EU gas storage stood at just 74.6% and Qatar's LNG exports remained below pre-war levels. Potential escalation around Iran, tighter winter supplies and competition with Asian buyers could push European gas prices back above 100 euros per megawatt-hour.
Read AI analysis →Chicago wheat futures gained 0.5% as a weakening US dollar improved the competitiveness of American agricultural exports, while expectations of stronger Black Sea supplies limited gains. Corn futures rose 0.4% and soybeans added 0.1%, but wheat remains near four-month lows after falling approximately 25% from its early September highs. Potential reopening of Black Sea shipping lanes and expectations of large US harvests could continue pressuring grain prices, although concrete progress on port access may shift market sentiment.
Read AI analysis →Spot gold broke above the $4,100 per ounce integer threshold on Nov 5, with the latest reading at $4,103.36 and an intraday gain of 1.06%, according to PANews. The move puts the $4,100 level in focus: the source says sustained strength would reinforce gold's defensive role, while a quick reversal could reveal level-driven chasing. The gold-linked assets listed in the source are PAXG, GOLD(PAXG), GOLD(XAUT), and XAUT.
Read AI analysis →Oil prices fell for a fourth straight session as expectations grew that the U.S. midterm election results could reduce the likelihood of further escalation in the Iran war, potentially allowing disrupted Middle Eastern supply to recover. Brent dropped 1.03% to $93.65 a barrel and WTI fell 1.29% to $86.98, after both benchmarks plunged more than 8% in the previous session; JPMorgan estimates the global oil market returned to a 1.1 million-barrel-per-day surplus in September. Further downside could be limited by near-15-year lows in commercial inventories, strong demand and uncertainty over the path to a diplomatic resolution.
Read AI analysis →A Polygon Labs team member has proposed a hard fork to recover approximately 70.49 million POL, worth about $6.5 million, stolen in hacks involving Polymarket and Binance. The proposed transfer would move 23.86 million POL linked to Polymarket and 46.63 million POL linked to Binance into institution-designated recovery addresses without changing total token supply. The proposal could enable recovery of the stolen funds if governance approves it, while raising important questions about intervention and asset control on Polygon PoS.
Read AI analysis →Gold and silver futures advanced on Thursday as a weaker U.S. dollar and falling Treasury yields following the midterm elections boosted demand for precious metals. COMEX gold rose 0.93% to $4,111 per ounce, while silver gained 0.47% to $52.53 per ounce, with the dollar index slipping to 101.41. Further dollar weakness and lower bond yields could extend the recovery, although upcoming U.S. economic data and Fed rate expectations remain key risks.
Read AI analysis →Gold climbed 1.65% to $4,126.27 an ounce as falling U.S. Treasury yields following the Democratic midterm victory boosted demand for the non-yielding precious metal. The 10-year Treasury yield fell 6 basis points to 4.891%, its lowest level in nearly two months, while the 2-year yield dropped to 4.579%. Continued weakness in Treasury yields could support gold in the near term, although expectations of a more constrained fiscal outlook may limit its longer-term gains.
Read AI analysis →Vietnam's official USD/VND mid-point was set at 25,623 on November 5, while the unofficial market quoted the dollar at 26,100–26,150 dong. Interbank USD/VND stood at 25,699/25,710, and indicative SJC gold prices in Hanoi were 141.5–144.5 million dong per tael. The gap between official and unofficial exchange rates could keep attention on pressure in Vietnam's currency market, while gold remains a key domestic pricing reference.
Read AI analysis →European natural-gas prices fell 3.7% to €88.19/MWh as traders weighed the possibility of renewed U.S. strikes on Iran against diplomatic efforts, with the market remaining exposed to supply disruptions. LNG imports into Europe were just 84% of pre-war levels in October, while EU storage stood at 74.6% and Qatar's exports recovered to only 35% of their pre-war monthly average. Renewed escalation, colder weather or weak wind generation could tighten supplies further and push the Dutch TTF benchmark back above €100/MWh.
Read AI analysis →Gold climbed 1.65% to $4,126.27 per ounce as falling U.S. Treasury yields following the midterm elections boosted demand for the non-yielding precious metal.

Continued Treasury yield declines could extend gold's rally, while changing fiscal expectations may create headwinds over the longer term.
Read AI analysis →Gold climbed above $4,100 an ounce, extending its rally as optimism over a potential end to the US-Iran conflict weakened oil prices and boosted demand for safe-haven assets. A weaker US dollar and declining Treasury yields provided additional support, while traders continued pricing a 79% probability of a Federal Reserve rate hike in December. Friday's US employment report could reshape rate expectations and determine whether gold can sustain its upward momentum.
Read AI analysis →Silver climbed toward $53 an ounce, extending its gains as optimism over a potential end to the US-Iran conflict weakened oil prices and supported precious metals. A weaker US dollar and declining Treasury yields added support, while traders currently price a 79% probability of a Federal Reserve rate hike in December. Friday's US employment report could reshape interest-rate expectations and drive silver's next major move.
Read AI analysis →Indian equity markets are poised for a strong opening on November 5, with GIFT Nifty surging 316 points to 24,313.50 as global equities rally following Democrats' sweeping US midterm election victory.

Improved global risk appetite and sustained foreign inflows could further support Indian equities, although regional weakness in technology stocks may limit gains.
Read AI analysis →Brent crude's January contract may extend its decline toward $89.82-$91.12 per barrel, with technical indicators pointing to further downside after breaking below the $94.27 Fibonacci support level. A separate projection analysis identifies $89.82 as a downside target, while resistance stands at $95.48, with a break above potentially opening a move toward $97.22-$98.97. Continued weakness could pressure Brent toward $88.26 or even the broader $83.25-$89.91 target zone if the downtrend persists.
Read AI analysis →Chicago wheat futures rose 0.5% to $6.01-3/4 per bushel as a weakening US dollar improved the competitiveness of American grain exports. Corn gained 0.4% and soybeans advanced 0.2%, but wheat remains near four-month lows after falling around 25% from its September highs, with expectations of increased Black Sea exports weighing on prices. A weaker dollar could provide further support to agricultural commodities, although potential Black Sea shipping reopening and record US crop production could limit gains.
Read AI analysis →Australia's 2026-27 grain and oilseed harvest is forecast to reach 63 million metric tons, exceeding earlier expectations despite remaining 8% below last year's strong crop. Rabobank expects improved global grain supply to pressure prices, while ASX January 2027 and 2028 grain contract prices have already declined, though less than CBOT prices. The stronger supply outlook could intensify downside pressure across global agricultural commodity markets.
Read AI analysis →Democrats' sweep of the US House and Senate triggered a sharp rotation across markets, with Trump-linked assets, AI infrastructure firms and defense stocks suffering heavy losses while major technology stocks rallied. Trump Media plunged 25%, Trump's memecoin dropped 19%, Galaxy Digital fell 17%, and Hut 8 lost as much as 23%, while Amazon surged 8%, Apple gained 7%, and Alphabet advanced 6%. The election outcome could reshape expectations for US defense spending, AI data center development and Trump-linked investments, potentially intensifying sector volatility.
Read AI analysis →Oil prices extended their decline in Asian trading after plunging more than 8% overnight on rising hopes for an end to the Iran conflict. Front-month WTI fell 0.4% to $87.77 per barrel, while Brent slipped 0.2% to $94.64, despite continued supply disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz. Persistent restrictions on Persian Gulf exports and potential conflict escalation could reverse the bearish oil sentiment and trigger renewed price volatility.
Read AI analysis →Cryptocurrencies are broadly higher in Asian trading, with Bitcoin holding above $80,000 as markets digest Democrats winning control of both chambers of Congress in the U.S. midterm elections. Bitcoin gained 0.7% to $80,704, while Glassnode analysts note that much of the pre-midterm decline had already occurred before the vote. Bitcoin's deeper integration into traditional finance through banks, asset managers and ETFs could help cushion the industry against potential regulatory uncertainty under a Democratic Congress.
Read AI analysis →Gold extended its rally in early Asian trading, rising 0.6% to $4,082.76 per ounce after recording its biggest daily gain since mid-August, supported by a weaker US dollar. Gold had surged approximately 3.4% in the previous session, while investors awaited Friday's US nonfarm payrolls report for clues about the Federal Reserve's interest-rate outlook. Further dollar weakness could support additional gold gains, but expectations of higher interest rates could pressure demand for the non-yielding metal.
Read AI analysis →An oil whale that built a $148 million long crude position has begun cutting risk after crude prices fell 14% this week. The trader closed $44.04 million of CL long positions over the past 10 minutes, realizing a $4.90 million loss, according to on-chain analyst Ember. The position was accumulated over roughly half a month and had reached $148 million. Before the reduction, the whale’s unrealized loss was reported at $15.08 million. The trader still holds $94.79 million of BRENTOIL exposure, with an unrealized loss of $8.35 million. The remaining position keeps the trader exposed to further oil-price moves, while additional position reductions would be a key development for oil-linked leveraged markets.
Read AI analysis →Global equities rallied following the US midterm elections, with historical data pointing to further gains for the ASX 200 over the following 3 to 12 months despite potential short-term weakness. The S&P 500 surged 1.6%, the Dow jumped 3.0%, while Brent crude plunged 9.3% to $94.49 as hopes of an end to the US-Iran war lifted market sentiment. Easing political uncertainty, falling oil prices and improving market breadth could support the ASX 200 and broader equity markets in the coming months.
Read AI analysis →US Gulf soybean barge bids strengthened on Wednesday as continued exporter demand and improving sales supported the market, while corn barge bids eased slightly. The USDA confirmed private sales of 167,000 metric tons of US soybeans to Spain, with November soybean CIF bids rising 1 cent to 116 cents over CBOT futures and corn bids falling 1 cent to 93 cents over futures. Continued export demand could provide support for soybean basis, while slowing farmer sales and weak futures may keep pressure on grain markets.
Read AI analysis →Asian currencies trade mixed against the U.S. dollar, with mild risk appetite and falling oil prices potentially providing support. Lower oil prices could benefit energy-importing economies including India, Japan, South Korea and Thailand by reducing import bills and inflationary pressures while improving current-account positions. Sustained weakness in oil prices may support Asian currencies through improved external balances and reduced inflation pressures.
Read AI analysis →Gold holds steady at $4,063 per ounce after rebounding as oil prices slumped and the U.S. dollar softened following the midterm elections. Democratic control of Congress has fueled tentative hopes of Middle East conflict resolution, while political gridlock and geopolitical fragmentation continue to support gold's appeal as a reserve asset. Sustainably lower oil prices could ease interest-rate pressures, while continued geopolitical uncertainty may underpin central-bank and institutional demand for gold.
Read AI analysis →Japan’s Nikkei Stock Average gains 0.7% to 62,644.86 as auto, pharmaceutical and real estate stocks lead a broad market advance following sharply lower oil prices overnight. Toyota Motor jumps 7.5%, Astellas Pharma rises 9.5% and Sumitomo Realty & Development gains 7.2%, while the dollar trades at 158.41 yen.

Read AI analysis →CoW Protocol is targeting a Q4 2026 production deployment on Solana, marking its first expansion beyond EVM-compatible networks. The planned integration would open a new market for the COW token ecosystem, although the team expects revenue contributions from new chains to build gradually over several quarters.

Read AI analysis →Japanese stocks could rebound as falling oil prices and hopes for an end to the Iran war improve investor risk appetite, with Nikkei futures already up 1.2% to 63,195. The decline in crude also helped push Treasury yields to their lowest levels in nearly two months, while the Australian dollar climbed above 70 U.S. cents.

Read AI analysis →Mercado Bitcoin will begin restoring customer account access on Monday following a hack that blockchain analysts estimate resulted in more than $46 million in stolen assets, while pledging to cover affected customer losses. The exchange said more than $15 million in stolen funds have already been frozen, with trading, transfers and withdrawals expected to resume in later phases after independent security testing. The phased reopening and company-funded reimbursements could help restore customer confidence, although security concerns and delayed withdrawals may continue to pressure the exchange.
Read AI analysis →Japan’s Nikkei could find support on Thursday after falling nearly 2,500 points, or 3.8%, over three consecutive sessions. The index closed Wednesday down 1.42% at 62,188.63, while Wall Street rallied sharply and crude oil plunged 8.73% to $87.70 per barrel. Positive global market sentiment and easing U.S.-Iran geopolitical concerns could help stabilize Japanese equities and trigger a rebound.
Read AI analysis →Robert Kiyosaki says he is waiting for the next crash in gold, silver, and Bitcoin so he can buy more at lower prices, citing soaring global debt and declining confidence in fiat currencies. US federal debt has reached approximately $40.6 trillion, while gold recently rebounded 2.34% above $4,023, silver jumped nearly 4% toward $52, and Bitcoin recovered to around $80,500. Kiyosaki's buy-the-crash strategy could attract renewed interest in hard assets and Bitcoin during future selloffs, although further declines and difficulty timing market bottoms remain risks.
Read AI analysis →XRP millionaire wallets have climbed to 2,147, their highest level of 2026, as the token reclaimed $1.30 on November 4. Santiment recorded 28 additional wallets holding at least 1 million XRP over 10 days, while October spot XRP ETF inflows slowed to $18.83 million, down from $121.40 million in September. However, the Coinbase Premium Index fell to -0.16%, an eight-month low, signaling weaker US demand, while November ETF flows started with a small outflow followed by zero net flows. Continued whale accumulation could support XRP's next breakout attempt, but weakening US demand and resistance near $1.40 may cap further gains.
Read AI analysis →CME FedWatch data reported on November 5 show rate markets pricing an 81.5% probability that the Federal Reserve raises rates by 25 basis points in December, versus an 18.5% probability of no change. For January, the probabilities were 14.2% for no change, 67.1% for cumulative 25 basis points of hikes, and 18.7% for cumulative 50 basis points of tightening. The pricing points to a policy path that could extend beyond a single December meeting. Duration-sensitive markets, including growth equities and crypto, remain focused on incoming inflation, labor-market data and Fed communications.
Read AI analysis →Bitcoin's proposed BIP-54 Great Consensus Cleanup soft fork aims to fix four longstanding vulnerabilities in the network's consensus rules, strengthening security without changing Bitcoin's economic model or adding new features. The proposal addresses difficulty-adjustment time-warp attacks, slow-validation poison blocks, Merkle tree weaknesses and duplicate coinbase transaction risks, while MARA Pool and ViaBTC have begun producing compatible coinbase transactions on mainnet. Growing miner readiness and successful testing could improve the proposal's chances of becoming Bitcoin's next soft fork and strengthen long-term network security.
Read AI analysis →Tokenization and stablecoin businesses could remain resilient to Democrats' midterm victory, even as broader U.S. crypto legislation faces growing uncertainty.

Read AI analysis →Grayscale and BlackRock say crypto's long-term growth prospects remain intact despite weakening U.S. legislative support following Democrats' midterm election victories. Grayscale estimates that 80% to 85% of global cryptocurrency activity occurs outside the U.S., while BlackRock sees limited impact from political changes on its crypto business. Continued global demand and institutional adoption could support crypto's expansion, although stalled U.S. legislation may slow regulatory progress and broader market conditions could pressure digital assets.
