U.S. stock indices are moving higher on Monday as tech and AI-related stocks steady following a shocking October. The mood remains cautious following the AI wobble, with more tech earnings due this week, U.S. midterm elections and a full U.S. economic data calendar.
Gold has started the first week of the new month trying to recover some ground after another bruising week. Oil prices have taken a sharp drop and that has allowed risk assets to bounce back, which has clearly helped the precious metal too. However, with sentiment remaining bearish towards the metals, and with $4000 level having been taken out last week, the path of least resistance is to the downside for gold.
The GBP/USD heads into a crowded week of event risk, with the midterm elections, a Bank of England rate decision and Friday's non-farm payrolls report all capable of moving markets sharply. The greenback remains fundamentally well supported by a hawkish Federal Reserve, but much of that is already priced in, while the renewed sell-off in technology stocks has exposed its vulnerability.
EUR/USD rises as lower oil prices offset weak German retail sales. Gold rebounds from 2026 lows after the worst October in 18 years.
Fed rate-hike bets topping 70% have pressured markets, including precious metals and U.S. indices, toward key support levels. Could these levels signal a turning point ahead of the U.S. midterm elections?
The Nasdaq 100 has printed a bearish monthly key reversal after a brutal October, with weak market breadth and heavy losses among AI beneficiaries raising the risk of further downside.
Crude oil weekly outlook: U.S.–Iran negotiations may be moving closer to a breakthrough as the U.S. midterm elections approach on Tuesday, bringing key resistance levels on crude oil charts into focus.
As October enters its final stretch, one of the most relevant developments in the cryptocurrency market is that, after several weeks of neutrality, a more consistent phase of weakness is beginning to take shape. Throughout the week, none of the major cryptocurrencies has managed to sustain meaningful gains and, instead, selling pressure has gradually regained control across the sector.
EUR/USD has been mired in a steep sell-off as worries have built around French yields, but continued support around the 1.1100 level give hope for a bounce that could possibly turn into something more.
Gold bears are closing in on critical multi-year trend support, with a potential exhaustion low in focus as November trading gets underway.
As October comes to an end and the cryptocurrency market enters the final stretch of 2026, a renewed phase of weakness is becoming increasingly evident across the sector. Most major cryptocurrencies have struggled to maintain consistent demand and have once again started to underperform compared with other financial markets.
USD/JPY has barely moved despite tumbling US Treasury yields and a sharp selloff in AI stocks. Can elevated energy prices continue to offset the pressure?
