- Canada Commodities: Oil Prices Mixed as Middle East Fighting Continues; Gold Climbs
- Global oil prices hit highest level in 5 months amid attacks on ships , facilities
Brent crude topped $111 a barrel for the first time since May before easing to $110.30, a rise of more than 55% since the Iran war began in late February. The rally followed claims by Iran and its Houthi allies of attacks on oil infrastructure, including Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia's Shaybah oil field and Saudi Aramco facilities in Yanbu, plus an IRGC claim that two tankers hit naval mines south of the Strait of Hormuz. The UKMTO issued an advisory after an incident involving a tanker and military forces off Oman. West Texas Intermediate rose to $105.75, more than 60% higher since the war began, and US gasoline averaged $4.27 a gallon per AAA, nearly $1.30 above late February levels. The rise comes as affordability becomes a key voter concern ahead of the November midterm elections, after a tentative US-Iran accord expired in August.

Brent crude futures topped $111 a barrel for the first time since May before easing to $110.30, a rise of more than 55% since the Iran war began in late February. Iran and its Houthi allies claimed attacks on Middle East oil infrastructure, including the Shaybah oil field and Saudi Aramco facilities in Yanbu, while Iranian state media reported that the IRGC said two tankers hit naval mines south of the Strait of Hormuz. The UKMTO issued an advisory after a report of an incident involving a tanker and military forces off Oman. U.S. benchmark WTI rose to $105.75, up more than 60%, and the average U.S. gas price reached $4.27 a gallon, nearly $1.30 higher since late February. Affordability is a major voter concern ahead of the early-November midterm elections.
- U.S. oil surges to top $107, Brent crude at five-month high amid Mideast tensions
U.S. front-month WTI crude jumped 4.2% to around $107.50 a barrel in early trading, with November contracts on track for a ninth straight daily gain and a monthly rise of almost 20%. Brent for December delivery rose 1.9% to $111.42, its highest since May 19. Attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz have escalated, with at least 18 vessels hit in two weeks according to Kpler. Iran's Revolutionary Guard said two 'non-compliant' tankers were set ablaze after hitting mines, and a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Tehran would respond to any American strike 'in equal measure, if not more forcefully.' U.S. President Donald Trump said earlier this month that American forces will not attack Iran before the November 3 midterm elections.
- Brent could hit USD 140 in 2027 on Gulf supply risks , extreme weather conditions : Report
Goldman Sachs warns that geopolitical conflicts, energy and agricultural supply disruptions, and extreme weather could keep commodity prices volatile into 2027. Its base case sees Brent and European gas falling to $90/bbl and EUR70/MWh by end-2026 as Middle Eastern supply recovers. If Gulf output stays 5 million barrels per day below February 2026 levels, Brent could rally to $140 in early 2027 and average about $125/bbl that year, while European gas could reach EUR150/MWh with a colder winter. The bank also expects copper to average $15,400 per tonne and gold to reach $5,400 per ounce by end-2027, while the Bloomberg Commodity Index has returned 36% year-to-date.

- Warren Buffett's Successor, Greg Abel, Has 22% of Berkshire Hathaway Invested in This Stock That Just Crossed the $5 Trillion Mark
Greg Abel became Berkshire Hathaway's CEO at the start of the year and so far has made few major changes, closing some positions formerly managed by Todd Combs while keeping the company culture and most Buffett-era holdings.
