November 30th - OPEC+ is about to hold a meeting to assess the global oil market. Given the increasingly apparent signs of oversupply, the alliances oil-producing countries are still expected to pause supply increases in the first quarter of next year. Several representatives indicated that the Saudi- and Russian-led alliance is likely to adhere to the plan reached earlier this month to make a modest production increase in December, followed by stable production levels for the first three months of next year. While this pause demonstrates some caution from OPEC and its partners after their rapid resumption of oil production earlier this year, it still leaves the global market facing a significant oversupply in early 2026, potentially putting further pressure on oil prices.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that he has appointed former Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States, Irina Markarova, as his advisor on reconstruction and investment.On November 30th, Canadian Solar announced that it plans to adjust its US market business by establishing two new joint ventures, M and N, with its controlling shareholder, Canadian Solar Inc.

During the Asian session, the EUR / USD pair broke below the consolidation around 1.0550 to the downside. It appears that the major currency pair has resumed its decline, and further losses are anticipated due to pessimistic market sentiment. The currency pair is expected to find support near 1.0530.

 

Futures on the S&P 500 have lost their dead cat bounce as the motif of risk aversion gains strength. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has already reached a three-month high above 105.60, and gains are anticipated due to a general improvement in the appeal of safe-haven assets. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note has surpassed 3.97 percent. Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, believes that increasing interest rates is "appropriate and suitable" for controlling the nation's rising inflation. He has asserted that the current monetary policy is inadequately restrictive to bring inflation down to the desired levels.

 

The extraordinary increase in payrolls reported in January has prompted contemplation of a higher termination rate than previously anticipated. Prior to this, Fed Governor Christopher Waller stated that February's economic data was a one-time anomaly and that price pressures would resume their downward trend beginning the following month.
