Oil prices gained slightly on Tuesday following a sharp drop in the previous session as reports emerged that the United States had carried out a strike on Iran’s Qeshm Island, fuelling concerns over a possible escalation of the eight-month conflict and prolonged disruptions to oil supplies from the Middle East.
The Wall Street Journal reported, citing US officials, that the United States had struck Iran’s Qeshm Island. Some officials described the attacks as defensive operations aimed at preventing Iran from freely targeting commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
Brent crude futures rose 11 cents, or 0.12%, to $105 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rose 26 cents, or 0.27%, to $97 a barrel. In the previous session, Brent crude futures had settled $8.66, or 7.63%, lower at $104.77 a barrel. Brent crude ended October at its highest level in six months, amid concerns that tensions in the Middle East could intensify again following Tuesday’s US midterm elections.
The report brought a fresh risk premium into oil prices after markets had begun factoring in the possibility of a diplomatic resolution, said Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade. He added that news of continued military activity had shifted market sentiment.
Meanwhile, Tehran said on Monday that discussions with the United States to end the conflict were continuing. This came after several days of talks between Iran and Qatari mediators concluded with revised proposals but failed to produce a breakthrough. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei had granted the government certain powers to pursue peace negotiations.US President Donald Trump also cast doubt on Monday over whether he would carry out his threat to resume military strikes against Iran, while indicating that a deal with Tehran remained possible.
The conflict between the US and Iran, which began in late February, has significantly curtailed shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. The waterway previously handled around a fifth of global crude oil and natural gas supplies.
Separately, the United States will host delegations from Ukraine and Russia in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11 for discussions on ending Moscow’s war against Ukraine, post-war security arrangements and de-escalation.
Where are prices headed?
Goldman Sachs has revised its oil price forecasts upwards, citing heightened risks to global supply, and warned that Brent crude could climb to $140 a barrel in 2027 if oil production in the Gulf region remains significantly below its 2025 average. The investment bank raised its December Brent crude price forecast to $105 a barrel from $90 earlier. Its projection for US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude was also increased to $94 a barrel from $81.
In an upside scenario, Brent crude could reach $140 a barrel and average around $130 in 2027 if Gulf oil production remains 3.5 million barrels per day below its 2025 average, Reuters reported, citing Goldman Sachs’ projections.
The bank expects oil markets to price in a higher geopolitical risk premium, taking into account the possibility of disruptions to Middle East supplies, the historical duration of major supply shocks and concerns that a lasting diplomatic breakthrough may be difficult to secure.
Meanwhile, uncertainty surrounding the course of the conflict continues to cloud the oil price outlook. JPMorgan analysts said it remained difficult to assess how the war would unfold. At the beginning of the conflict, the bank had expected the US administration to avoid crossing certain economic thresholds. However, seven months later, several of those limits had been breached, with no clear strategy for bringing the conflict to an end.

Silver tumbles to fresh yearly lows as hawkish Fed expectations dominate.
XAG/USD trades below daily SMAs, keeping the bearish outlook intact.
RSI signals oversold conditions, while MACD and ADX suggest sellers remain in control.
Silver (XAG/USD) falls around 3% on Thursday, sliding to fresh year-to-date lows as hawkish Federal Reserve (Fed) expectations keep buyers on the sidelines. At the time of writing, XAG/USD trades around $52.32, its lowest level since November 2025.
The decline comes despite a softer US Dollar (USD), suggesting that price action remains driven by interest rate expectations. Higher borrowing costs increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding Silver.
The latest US economic data released on Thursday keep bets on a December rate hike firmly in place. The core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, closely watched by the Fed, rose 0.3% MoM in September. Annual core inflation increased to 3.1% from 3.0%, remaining above the Fed’s 2% target.
Meanwhile, the preliminary estimate of third-quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) showed the US economy grew at an annualised rate of 3.4%, above expectations of 3.2% and up from 2.2% in the previous quarter. Traders see around an 80% chance of a December rate hike, according to the CME FedWatch Tool.
This comes after the Fed opted to keep interest rates unchanged at 3.75%-4.00% at the conclusion of its October meeting on Wednesday. However, the main takeaway was that inflation remained elevated and the central bank remained committed to ensuring price stability.
Technical Analysis
On the technical front, sellers remain in control as XAG/USD trades well below its key daily moving averages. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits near 28, signalling oversold conditions that could allow a short-term bounce. However, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remains negative, while the Average Directional Index (ADX) near 37 suggests the downtrend remains strong.
On the topside, initial resistance is seen at the horizontal level near $55.00, followed by the former congestion zone around $60.00 before the 100-day SMA at $61.73 and the 50-day SMA at $62.11 come into play as a broader resistance band, with the 200-day SMA further up at $70.63 marking a major barrier to any sustained recovery.
On the downside, an extension of the decline would bring the $50.00 psychological level into focus as major support. A decisive break below it could open the door to deeper losses.

The heat map shows percentage changes of major currencies against each other. The base currency is picked from the left column, while the quote currency is picked from the top row. For example, if you pick the US Dollar from the left column and move along the horizontal line to the Japanese Yen, the percentage change displayed in the box will represent USD (base)/JPY (quote).
Gold is holding on to its modest gains recorded earlier today, driven by positive signals emerging from the relative strength indicators after it reached deeply oversold levels. This has allowed the price to recover some of its previous losses, supported by the stability of the $3,900 support level.
However, negative pressure remains in place as gold continues to trade below EMA50, reinforcing the dominance and stability of the main bearish trend over the short term.
USD/JPY moved higher despite the pullback in Treasury yields. The yield of 2-year Treasuries declined towards the 4.58% level, while the yield of 10-year Treasuries settled below 4.90%.
USD/JPY needs to settle above the resistance at 158.00 – 158.50 to have a chance to gain upside momentum in the near term. In this case, USD/JPY will head towards the next resistance, which is located in the 160.00 – 160.50 range. It remains to be seen whether BoJ is ready to provide support to the yen if USD/JPY tests the 160.00 level, but traders are worried about this scenario.
Gold’s technical outlook has weakened considerably following its recent breakdown below US$4,000.
Source: Tradingview
After failing to sustain its recovery during October, XAU/USD experienced a sharp decline towards US$3,870 on 30 October.
Monday’s rebound towards US$3,900 suggests that short-term selling pressure may be easing.
However, the recovery has not yet provided convincing evidence of a sustained bullish reversal.
Bullish Scenario: Gold Rebounds Towards US$4,000
Following Friday’s substantial decline, gold may experience a technical rebound as short-term traders cover bearish positions and bargain-hunting interest emerges.
If XAU/USD holds above US$3,900, the first potential recovery targets lie around US$3,920 and US$3,950.
A decisive move above US$3,950 could encourage further buying towards the US$4,000 psychological level.
However, US$4,000 is now an important resistance area following the recent breakdown.
A sustained recovery above this threshold would be needed to provide stronger evidence that bearish momentum is weakening.
Until then, any rally may remain vulnerable to renewed selling pressure.
Bearish Scenario: Gold Fails to Reclaim US$4,000
If gold struggles to break above US$3,950–4,000, sellers may regain control.
A decline below US$3,900 could lead to another test of the recent low near US$3,870.
If that level fails to hold, attention may shift towards US$3,800.
A sustained break below US$3,800 could expose the lower support region around US$3,670.
The broader bearish scenario could remain relevant into late November or early December if inflation expectations remain elevated and financial market conditions continue to tighten.
Nevertheless, these are conditional technical scenarios rather than guaranteed price targets.
The pair ended its latest bearish wave after testing the support level at 174.95 and settling above it, delaying the bearish pressure, to form strong bullish corrective move, by reaching around 176.50.
Note that breaching 176.50 and holding above it could strengthen the chances of targeting further corrective levels. We expect reaching 177.10, followed by an attempt to test the next resistance barrier at 177.80. However, failure to breach this level would force the pair into mixed trading until it gathers sufficient negative momentum to renew its attempts to pressure the previously mentioned support.
The expected trading range for today is between 175.70 and 177.10
The pair took advantage of the Stochastic indicator’s positive momentum to form a new series of bullish corrective waves, reaching around 211.50. This keeps the pair within its main bearish trend, which remains intact as long as the resistance level at 212.00 holds.
The price now needs fresh negative momentum to form new bearish waves, allowing it to settle below 210.40 and then attempt to put pressure on the support barrier at 209.10. On the other hand, breaking above the resistance and holding there would give the pair an opportunity to achieve notable gains, initially targeting 212.85 and 213.55.
The expected trading range for today is between 210.75 and 212.00
GBP/USD is trading near 1.3403 on the 4-hour chart, up about 0.1% today. The pound jumped to 1.3434 on Friday, pulled back to 1.3379, and is climbing again. A rising trendline, a line connecting higher lows since October 14, supports the move, and both moving averages are below price.
The first resistance, where sellers tend to step in, is 1.3434, then 1.3470. The first support, where buyers tend to step in, is 1.3379, then 1.3340.
Platinum prices ended their latest bearish wave after touching $1418.00, bringing them close to the first additional target at $1400.00. The price then rebounded to settle near the resistance barrier at $1440.00, supported by stochastic stability above the 20 level.
The price may now move sideways temporarily while gathering additional negative momentum, which could enable it to confirm a break below the current barrier and resume its bearish movement toward $1400.00, followed by the next target at $1365.00.
The expected trading range for today is between $1365.00 and $1455.00
According to the latest IndexBox report on the global Espresso Beans Bundle market, the market enters 2026 with broader demand fundamentals, more disciplined procurement behavior, and a more regionally diversified supply architecture.
The global espresso beans bundle market is undergoing a strategic bifurcation, with high-volume commoditized segments driven by private-label expansion and price-led promotions on one side, and a premium, benefit-led segment fueled by brand storytelling, sustainable claims, and experiential packaging on the other. Channel strategy has emerged as the primary determinant of market share, as traditional grocery and mass retail remain volume engines but face intense shelf competition and margin pressure, while specialty coffee shops, premium grocers, and direct-to-consumer platforms command higher price points and foster brand loyalty.
A clear price architecture segmented by consumer need state rather than pure bean quality has taken hold, with entry-level bundles competing on affordability, mid-tier bundles leveraging origin stories and certifications, and super-premium bundles positioned as luxury gifts or connoisseur experiences. Private-label penetration is accelerating, particularly in Western Europe and North America, compressing the differentiation space for mid-tier branded players. Supply chain resilience and provenance transparency have shifted from niche concerns to mainstream table stakes, creating both compliance costs and branding opportunities.
The e-commerce channel serves distinct functions as a subscription-based replenishment model, a discovery platform for premium roasters, and a key channel for gifting-oriented bundle sales. Innovation is increasingly focused on packaging and format, including smaller batch roasts, nitrogen-flushed pouches, compostable packaging, and bundles paired with accessories or digital brewing guides. As the market evolves through 2035, agility and clear strategic positioning will be critical for success.
The baseline scenario for the global espresso beans bundle market points to steady value growth over the forecast period 2026-2035, supported by the ongoing premiumization of at-home coffee consumption and the expansion of e-commerce subscription models. Volume growth will be moderate, as mature markets in North America and Europe exhibit high per-capita coffee consumption but face saturation in traditional retail channels. However, value growth will outpace volume as consumers trade up to higher-priced bundles featuring single-origin beans, ethical certifications, and innovative packaging.
The market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.8% in value terms, reaching a market index of 168 by 2035 (2025=100). This baseline assumes no major supply disruptions and a gradual easing of input cost inflation. The premium segment will outperform, driven by younger consumers’ interest in experiential products and sustainability claims. Private label will continue to gain share, particularly in Western Europe, but branded players will defend their positions through innovation and channel expansion. Asia-Pacific will be the fastest-growing region, albeit from a smaller base, as coffee culture expands in urban centers.
The e-commerce channel will be a key growth driver, with subscription-based replenishment and gifting bundles gaining traction. Overall, the market will remain highly competitive, with success dependent on brand differentiation, channel management, and supply chain transparency.
