- Oil Futures For 2027 Have Jumped Almost 20%. Traders Believe Relief Could Take Longer Than Expected.
Oil futures for 2027 have jumped since September as the Middle East war disrupts supplies, with January 2027 WTI reaching $97.10 a barrel this week and June and December contracts up 18% and 13%. Global oil inventories ended September 509 million barrels below prewar levels, and Gulf crude shipments rose to 13.9 million barrels a day, more than 75% of prewar levels, though attacks on energy infrastructure remain a threat. The EIA raised its Brent forecast to $84 a barrel for 2027, up from $74, and to $105 for the fourth quarter of 2026, while the IEA expects global oil demand to fall 2.6 million barrels a day in 2026. U.S. gasoline and diesel forecasts for 2027 also rose to $3.56 and $4.49 a gallon. Higher energy costs complicate central banks' inflation outlook, and the Federal Reserve raised rates in September to 3.75% to 4%.
- Cattle futures slip on inflation worries and thin cash trade - CME
CME lean hog futures fell for the seventh time in eight sessions and hit contract lows as pork demand weakened, while cash pork prices dropped to their lowest since April 2023. September CPI rose 3.7% year over year, driven largely by soaring energy costs, and Allendale's Rich Nelson said consumers are cutting back on pork. December lean hogs settled 1.950 cents lower at 66.075 cents per pound, and the wholesale cash pork cutout fell $1.23 to $79.45 per hundredweight, down 23% from a year ago. December live cattle ended down 1.250 cents at 225.125 cents per pound, and November feeders fell 2.575 cents to 338.450 cents, with tight cattle supplies keeping markets range-bound.

- Gold price today, Thursday, October 22, 2026: No real upward price momentum for gold
Gold December futures opened at $4,159 per troy ounce on Thursday, up 0.2% from Wednesday's close, but fell to $4,104.30 by 6:25 a.m. ET as inflation concerns weighed on the metal. Gold is up 0.7% over one week, down 5.1% over one month, and up 0.5% over one year. Oil remains under upward pressure from attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and Houthi attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure, with Brent crude above $111 a barrel after a session high of $112.68. Analysts believe Iran is pushing energy costs higher ahead of the U.S. mid-term elections.

- Cardano holders are being asked to bet $5 million on copper hitting a new record
Toto Finance is asking Cardano's treasury for 22 million ADA, about $5 million, to buy and tokenize copper, with voting closing Nov. 15. About two-thirds of the budget would buy copper stored in a COMEX-approved warehouse for 18 to 24 months before sale, while the rest covers storage, insurance, audits and Toto's work. If the full budget is spent and ADA's dollar price stays unchanged, copper would need to rise about 49.4% for the treasury to recover its investment, and there is no guarantee the treasury gets its original ADA back. Toto could receive up to 3.36 million ADA, roughly 15% of the request, and would keep its commercial rights to its tokenized-copper business. The proposal would use just over half of Cardano's remaining withdrawal allowance, which would not be replenished under existing rules.
- Bitcoin Core changes security policy as AI makes bugs easier to find
Bitcoin Core is changing its security disclosure policy because large language models have made some flaws easy to rediscover, so long embargoes offer little protection. Under the new policy, vulnerabilities deemed easily discoverable will be fixed as soon as possible across all maintained major versions, with security advisories published alongside the updates. Other flaws will follow severity-based schedules: low-severity bugs will be disclosed two weeks after the fix is released, while medium and high-severity bugs will be disclosed two weeks after the last affected release reaches End of Life, typically a year after the fix. The change follows a volunteer Bitcoin Red Team report of nearly 5,000 potential issues across 390 projects in August, though only about a fifth had been reproduced at that point.
- Asia FX steadies as oil surge weighs on risk appetite, yen holds gains
Asian currencies and the U.S. dollar were largely subdued on Friday as investors weighed rising energy costs and geopolitical tensions, while the yen held its gains after a safe-haven rally tied to concerns over global growth and tech valuations. The U.S. Dollar Index was flat at 101.60 by 03:33 GMT, near a three-week low and on track for a second straight weekly loss. USD/JPY edged up 0.1% to 156.90 after a nearly 1% drop in the previous session, as the yen reached its highest level in more than a month. Brent crude near $114 a barrel, after a 4% jump on Thursday following attacks in Saudi Arabia, raises inflation risks for energy importers such as Japan, India and South Korea. The Indian rupee extended its losses, with USD/INR up 0.3% to 95.109, while the yuan hovered near four-year lows; the Fed is expected to hold rates at 3.75%-4.00% on October 28, with ECB and BoJ decisions due on October 29 and 30.
- Securities firm with the heaviest loss in the sector in Q3 2026 revealed

For the first nine months, APG recorded a pre-tax loss of nearly 105 billion VND, against a profit of over 28 billion VND a year earlier, putting its 2026 pre-tax profit target of 20 billion VND under pressure.
- IonQ vs. Rigetti Computing: Which Quantum Computing Stock Is the Better Buy?
The article compares quantum computing companies IonQ (ion-based) and Rigetti Computing (superconducting).

IonQ posted Q2 revenue of $80.1 million and forecasts 2026 sales of $280–290 million versus $130 million in 2025, though its Q2 operating loss widened to $337.2 million from $160.6 million, and the Elisity deal involves stock valued at up to $1.3 billion. The author judges IonQ the better investment given its consistent revenue growth, says they bought IonQ shares, and notes Rigetti's price-to-sales ratio is more than six times IonQ's.
