Gold, silver and oil futures stopped trading on Friday evening and reopen on Sunday at about 22:00 UTC. Prices on this site show the last session until then. Bitcoin trades through the weekend.
Weekend news can gap the open. These are the items in public reports that markets are likely to watch, not forecasts of what will happen.
Middle East and Russia
OilPrice.com wrote that two decisions by US President Donald Trump will shape this weekend’s energy risk, and that one of them is whether to keep US firepower out of Saudi Arabia’s war with the Houthis, in what the report describes as an effort to lower fuel prices before 3 November. Separately, OilPrice.com reported that Ukraine struck an oil refinery in Russia’s Ryazan region after saying it would resume attacks on Russian energy facilities, and Investing.com reported Ukrainian criticism of a US–Russian diesel deal.
The Federal Reserve and the dollar
Investing.com’s analysts described gold as facing a technical test as war risks collide with Fed uncertainty. After a week of hot US inflation reports and falling Treasury yields, the next signals on rates will matter for gold, the dollar and oil-related inflation expectations.
What we will watch
On our side we will track whether Brent holds near $110, whether WTI continues to narrow the spread, and whether gold stays inside its two-week band of roughly $4,100 to $4,200. The calendar of data releases is published by the central banks and statistical agencies directly.
