Cocoa and arabica coffee futures hit multiweek lows as ample cocoa stocks, weak chocolate demand and expectations for record Brazilian coffee exports weighed on prices. New York cocoa touched $5,274 per ton, while arabica coffee fell 2.1% to $2.7805 per pound; the global chocolate market contracted 4.3% in the year to August, according to Barry Callebaut. Continued stock accumulation and export pressure could keep cocoa and coffee prices under pressure, although potential El Niño-related crop losses may limit cocoa's downside.</summary>

Crude Oil Hits 4-week Low

Crude oil fell to $88.25 per barrel, its lowest level since October 2026, marking a four-week low. Oil has declined 1.16% over the past four weeks, despite remaining up 48.31% over the last 12 months. Further weakness could extend the recent pullback, although the substantial year-over-year gain highlights the broader strength over the longer period.

Nymex Overview: Crude, Refined Futures Extend Losses Amid Easing Iran Concerns — OPIS

Crude and refined-product futures extended losses Wednesday, with Brent falling $4.58 to $99.02 per barrel and WTI dropping $4.16 to $91.93 as easing concerns over potential U.S. military action against Iran reduced oil's geopolitical risk premium. The prospect of tighter constraints on U.S. military action, increased Middle Eastern crude exports, and President Trump's statement that no immediate strike against Iran is planned weighed on prices, while U.S. distillate inventories fell to their lowest level since May 2003. Oil could face further downside if Middle East tensions remain contained and the supply-disruption risk premium continues to unwind, although renewed conflict remains an upside risk.

Investors Are Rushing To Gold As US Dollar Tanks

Gold surges 3% to $4,046.74 per ounce as the U.S. dollar falls to a one-month low following Democrats taking control of both chambers of Congress, triggering gold's strongest daily move in months. Spot gold briefly reaches $4,050.99, its highest level since October 29, while silver jumps 4.8% to $52.13 and palladium gains 6.5%. A weaker dollar and persistent geopolitical uncertainty could extend precious metals' rally, although Friday's U.S. jobs report and an 82% probability of a December Fed rate increase could limit further upside.
