Open a story for context and sourcescommoditiesHotOil falls as Mideast diplomacy eases supply fearsOil fell as renewed diplomatic efforts to end the Mideast conflict eased supply concerns, per CNBC
What happened
Oil slipped as renewed diplomacy to end the Mideast conflict eased supply concerns, per CNBC. Iranian supply to China is drying up and Beijing is pushing domestic output, per OilPrice; the WTI perp is 100.93 (-0.04% over 24 h).
What it means today
Iran talks headlines reach the WTI perp at any hour; the 14:30 CET US open is the first stock session to price them, a day before the Fed weighs oil-led inflation. The WTI perp on the account trades the talks around the clock, and oil feeds the inflation path the Fed weighs on Wednesday, so a supply turn reaches the index perps and gold too.
macroFed expected to hold Wednesday, December hike in playThe Fed decides Wed 19:00 CET with a hold at 4.00% forecast, and this week's data could decide a December hike, per Livemint
What happened
CNBC expects the Fed to hold rates steady at its October meeting, and Livemint says this week's data could decide whether it raises rates in December. The dollar index holds near 102.00 and gold above $4,000 into the meeting, per FXStreet; the 10-year yield is 4.986.
What it means today
The Fed decision Wed 19:00 CET and the 19:30 press conference reset rates; GDP and core PCE follow Thu 13:30 CET, and the dollar and gold wait on both. One decision reprices every market on the account at once, from the index and stock perps to gold, the crypto perps and the yield products, and agents trade it the minute the statement lands, not at the next bell.
equitiesAnthropic files for IPO as Meta eyes a $95B raiseAnthropic's IPO filing shows up to $120.5B of SpaceX computing deals, and Meta eyes a record $95B equity raise to fund AI, per Reuters
What happened
Anthropic's S-1 shows first-half revenue of $16.3B, up 1,300% a year, and warns its growth may not be sustainable; it agreed to spend up to $120.5B on SpaceX computing that gives it Nvidia chips, per @charliebilello and @unusual_whales. Meta eyes a record $95B equity raise for its AI build-out, per Reuters, as the FT has global stocks rising on the AI trade.
What it means today
The 14:30 CET US cash open is the first session to price Meta's raise and the Anthropic filing; Microsoft and Alphabet report Wed after the close. The AI build-out runs through the Nvidia perp, the Nasdaq 100 perp and the tokenized big-tech stocks on the account, and the perps price it before the US open.
equitiesVisa, Boeing and Robinhood lead today's US reportsCoca-Cola, Novartis, Boeing, S&P Global, Corning and HCA report before today's US open; Visa, Seagate and Robinhood after the close
What happened
Visa ($729B) is the day's largest report; HSBC reported this morning, missed profit estimates and hit a 20-week low, per Investing.com. Robinhood reports Q3 live at 17:00 ET, per @RobinhoodApp, two days before Coinbase and Strategy report.
What it means today
Boeing and Coca-Cola land before the 14:30 CET US cash open; Visa, Seagate and Robinhood report after the 21:00 CET close, with Robinhood's call at 22:00 CET. After-the-close reports reach the S&P 500 perp and the tokenized stocks overnight, hours before the next US open, and Robinhood's crypto revenue is a read on the crypto book.
cryptoBitcoin ETFs draw $110M as ether funds shed $88.6MUS spot bitcoin ETFs drew $110M on 26 Oct as ether funds shed $88.6M, per SoSoValue via Wu Blockchain, with bitcoin just under $80,000
What happened
All of the bitcoin inflow came through BlackRock's IBIT, while spot ether ETFs lost $88.58M, per SoSoValue. The BTC perp is 79905.9 (-0.20% over 24 h) with funding at 0.00125% an hour, and ETH is 2312.4.
What it means today
Hourly funding runs into Wednesday's 19:00 CET Fed decision, the first event this week that can reset crypto positioning; ETF flows print again after the 21:00 CET US close. The crypto perps on the account trade the Fed decision the moment it lands, and hourly funding sets what longs pay until then.
