🌍 Global Market Brief – November 7, 2025 @everyone
🇺🇸 Americas:
U.S. stocks fell sharply, led by declines in major tech firms. The Nasdaq dropped nearly 2%, while the S&P 500 slipped just over 1%. The ongoing government shutdown continues to weigh on sentiment.
🌏 Asia-Pacific:
Asian markets tracked Wall Street’s losses. The Nikkei 225 fell 1.2%, the KOSPI 1.8%, and the Shanghai Composite edged lower as weak export data from China dampened optimism.

The Bank of England left interest rates unchanged at 4% but suggested a potential cut in December. European shares also eased amid concerns over slower growth.
🛢️ Commodities:
Oil extended its weekly losses, with Brent trading near $63.6 a barrel due to oversupply fears and softer U.S. demand. Government bond yields retreated as investors shifted toward safer assets.
🔮 Ahead:
Investors will be watching for updates on the U.S. government shutdown, next week’s U.K. budget data, and fresh Chinese economic indicators to gauge global momentum.
