Realty (+2.85%) emerged as the strongest-performing sector in the supplied heatmap, followed by Metal (+2.80%), Energy (+2.17%) and Consumer Durables (+2.04%). However, IT (-1.50%) remained the weakest sector, reflecting selling pressure in technology stocks.

World Markets, Crude & Gold Prices – 4 November 2026

Global Equities

Global equity markets witnessed mixed and volatile trading on Wednesday, 4 November 2026, as investors assessed the outcome of the US midterm elections, concerns over artificial intelligence valuations and the Federal Reserve's interest-rate outlook. Weakness in Asian technology stocks and political uncertainty initially weighed on sentiment, although European equities recovered during the session.

Asian markets experienced significant volatility as the US election results triggered concerns over tighter technology regulations and potential political gridlock. Japan's Nikkei 225 declined approximately 1.4% after recovering from steeper intraday losses, while South Korea's Kospi rebounded from early weakness. Hong Kong and mainland Chinese equities also showed strength later in the session.

European equities recovered on Wednesday after the previous session's decline. The pan-European STOXX 600 gained approximately 0.5% during morning trading as investors reassessed the US election outcome. Earlier, Germany's DAX and France's CAC 40 had closed lower by 0.45% and 0.34%, respectively, on Tuesday.

In the U.S., Wall Street ended mixed on Tuesday, 3 November. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.38% to close at 51,786.72, while the S&P 500 gained 0.36% to 7,568.92. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.83% to 25,372.01.

Technology stocks witnessed selective buying, with Nvidia, Micron Technology and Broadcom gaining, while Apple declined nearly 2% following concerns over its profit margins.

Meanwhile, the US midterm elections resulted in Democrats winning control of both chambers of Congress, raising expectations of legislative gridlock and potentially greater regulatory scrutiny of artificial intelligence companies. US stock futures initially declined before recovering as investors evaluated the implications for fiscal policies, taxation and corporate earnings.

Market participants remained focused on:

• US midterm election results and potential policy changes
• Federal Reserve policy and December interest-rate expectations
• Artificial intelligence spending and technology valuations
• Quarterly earnings from major US corporations
• US–Iran negotiations and Middle East geopolitical tensions
• Crude oil prices and global inflation expectations
• US employment data, Treasury yields and dollar movements

Overall, global markets remained volatile as political developments in Washington influenced investor sentiment. Asian equities experienced selling pressure before recovering selectively, while European markets showed resilience. Investors continued to monitor US election developments, corporate earnings and monetary policy expectations.

Crude Oil

BRENT CRUDE (USD/BBL)

−$2.068 (−1.91%)

$106.221

Brent crude traded around $106.22 per barrel, declining 1.91% in the latest supplied market snapshot.

Oil prices moved lower on Wednesday as renewed optimism surrounding potential US–Iran diplomatic negotiations eased concerns about supply disruptions in the Middle East.

The decline followed a volatile trading session on Tuesday, when geopolitical uncertainty and reports of US military activity near Iran's Qeshm Island raised concerns over shipping routes and regional stability.

However, hopes of diplomatic progress between Washington and Tehran reduced some of the geopolitical risk premium in crude oil prices. Brent had settled at approximately $103.60 per barrel on Tuesday before experiencing further intraday fluctuations on Wednesday.

The Strait of Hormuz remained a key focus for energy traders because of its importance to international oil shipments. Any escalation threatening shipping activity could quickly revive supply concerns.

Investors also monitored OPEC+ production decisions, global demand trends and the potential impact of US election results on energy policies and geopolitical relations.

For India, a sustained decline in crude oil prices could help ease import costs and inflationary pressures, benefiting oil-dependent industries such as aviation, logistics and paints. However, prices remained elevated, keeping energy-related risks in focus.

Oil prices will continue to track:

• US–Iran diplomatic negotiations and Middle East tensions
• Strait of Hormuz shipping activity and supply risks
• OPEC+ production decisions and global oil supply
• US crude inventories and international demand
• US election outcomes and geopolitical developments
• Global inflation expectations and currency movements

Overall, Brent crude declined 1.91% to approximately $106.22 per barrel in the supplied snapshot, reflecting easing supply concerns and renewed hopes of diplomatic progress. Nevertheless, geopolitical uncertainty and potential disruptions to energy shipments continued to pose risks to the oil market.

Gold Prices

GOLD SPOT – XAU/USD (USD/OZ)

+$111.80 (+2.84%)

$4,042.06

Gold traded around $4,042.06 per ounce, surging 2.84% in the latest supplied market snapshot.

Gold prices advanced sharply on Wednesday, reclaiming the psychologically important $4,000-per-ounce level as political uncertainty surrounding the US midterm elections supported demand for safe-haven assets.

Democrats' victory in both chambers of Congress increased expectations of political gridlock and possible changes to fiscal and regulatory policies, prompting investors to reassess their exposure to risk-sensitive assets.

The US dollar also weakened against major currencies, while Treasury yields declined as markets anticipated potential constraints on government spending. A weaker dollar and lower bond yields generally support gold by reducing its opportunity cost for investors.

Earlier Wednesday market reports showed gold rising amid political uncertainty, although quoted prices were below those in the supplied snapshot.

Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz continued to support demand for defensive assets despite renewed hopes of diplomatic negotiations.

However, persistent inflation concerns and expectations of tighter Federal Reserve monetary policy remained potential obstacles to a sustained rally.

Investors continued to monitor US employment indicators, inflation data and upcoming Federal Reserve decisions for further direction.

Gold prices will continue to track:

• Federal Reserve policy and December interest-rate expectations
• US inflation, employment and economic growth data
• Treasury yields and US dollar movements
• US midterm election results and political uncertainty
• Middle East tensions and safe-haven demand
• Central bank purchases and gold ETF investment flows
• Crude oil prices and global inflation expectations

Overall, gold surged 2.84% to approximately $4,042.06 per ounce in the supplied snapshot, moving above the $4,000 level as political uncertainty, dollar weakness and safe-haven demand supported prices. However, the sustainability of the rally will depend on Federal Reserve policy expectations, geopolitical developments and the direction of US bond yields.
