Iran's crude oil exports have fallen from nearly 1 million barrels per day in July to zero since late August, as the US reimposed a naval blockade from mid-July after a ceasefire deal collapsed. Ship-tracking and satellite data cited by the EU show no crude tankers have berthed at Kharg Island, the country's main export hub, since late August, and Jask port has seen none either. Before the blockade, Iran exported about 1.8 million barrels per day over the 12 months to April, mostly to China, and Chinese refiners are now seeking alternative supplies. Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have also risen, with 25 vessels targeted in the first two weeks of October, versus 18 in September and 15 in August.

- Asian Markets Trade Mostly Lower
Asian stock markets were mostly lower on Tuesday after mixed cues from Wall Street, as elevated crude oil prices, ongoing hostilities in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, and inflation concerns pushed global yields higher. Iran continues to assert control over the Strait of Hormuz, with ship attacks more frequent than at any point in the war. Markets expect the US Fed to hold rates next week while pricing in roughly a 94% chance of a rate hike in December. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 fell 0.72% to 8,782.00, led by miners and financial stocks, while National Australia Bank plans to cut 2,500 jobs and Ingenia Communities jumped more than 10% as it negotiates with Warburg Pincus over a $2.14 billion takeover offer. Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell 0.62% to 64,512.35 in the morning session.
- Two Oil Tankers Hit Mines While Crossing Strait Of
Iran's Revolutionary Guards Navy said two oil tankers caught fire after hitting naval mines while crossing the Strait of Hormuz, according to IRNA, and state media said both carried about 2 million barrels of crude. There was no independent confirmation of these reports. IRNA said the vessels had switched off their positioning and radar systems, used an unauthorised route, and that one was left immobilised after striking a mine. The incidents come amid heightened tensions, with attacks around the waterway surging over the past two weeks as Iran responds to a US blockade of its ports and tougher sanctions, and a container ship and a dry bulk carrier sank after being hit by projectiles earlier.
- Iran plan to open shipping lane still on the table
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi says Iran's seven-day proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz remains on the table, although Washington has not addressed all seven conditions, including lifting the US blockade of Iranian ports and sanctions on oil exports. He said that if the US accepted, the strait could reopen within six days, with talks resuming the next day. The main sticking point is Washington's demand that Iran's nuclear programme be addressed from the outset, with Vice President JD Vance calling for a “meaningful” cut in uranium enrichment capacity. Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed two oil tankers caught fire after hitting naval mines, though this has not been independently confirmed. Maritime officials also reported that a container ship and a dry bulk carrier sank near the strait after being hit by projectiles, and attacks in the area have surged, pushing up global energy prices and inflation.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi says Tehran's offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days remains on the table, though Iran's security chief said talks stalled because Washington did not address all seven conditions. Iran wants the lifting of the US blockade on its ports and of sanctions on its oil exports, plus an end to hostilities on all regional fronts; if accepted, the strait could reopen within six days, with talks resuming the next day.

Meanwhile, Iran's Revolutionary Guards navy says two oil tankers caught fire after hitting naval mines, a claim not independently confirmed, and maritime officials reported that a container ship and a dry bulk carrier sank near the strait after being hit by projectiles.

- Sophon sets Nov. 25 withdrawal deadline ahead of mainnet shutdown
Sophon has set a November 25 deadline for users to withdraw their assets before it shuts down its mainnet, with key infrastructure and related websites going offline that day. Assets left on the Sophon Chain could become permanently inaccessible, so users are asked to withdraw SOPH, ETH, USDC and other assets and claim any outstanding staking or Guardian rewards.

- Russia refuses to buy Chinese electricity despite delays in building Far East hydropower plants
Russian Deputy Energy Minister Pyotr Konyushenko told TASS that Russia has no plans to buy electricity from China. He said reverse power flow from China is not on the agenda and that the ministry considers such supply unfeasible, though it is technically possible since cross-border lines currently mainly carry power from Russia’s Far East to northeast China. Even if delays to Far East hydropower plants leave the region short of energy, he insisted Russia will solve the problem itself.
- High bond yields could more than double drag on US growth in 2027 : Goldman Sachs
Goldman Sachs warns that persistently high bond yields could more than double their drag on US economic growth in 2027. Under its baseline scenario, the impact is about 0.2 percentage points, but if borrowing costs stay near current levels, it would rise to just over 0.5 percentage points. Goldman expects US growth close to its potential rate of 2.3% in 2027, though the outlook could face pressure if yields remain elevated. Moody's Analytics Chief Economist Mark Zandi views the US economy as vulnerable, putting the odds of it going 'completely off the rails' at about one in three. Higher refinancing costs could also cut business investment growth by around 0.3 percentage points, while AI infrastructure spending is expected to stay healthy despite rising leverage risks.
