🌐 Global & Macro Factors
- US Government Shutdown Concerns: Persistent uncertainty in Washington is dampening risk appetite, affecting global equity sentiment.
- Gold & Silver: Both metals are hitting new all-time highs, reflecting strong safe-haven demand amid rising geopolitical risks.
- Crude Oil: Prices have dropped to a six-month low, weighed down by weak demand expectations and US-China trade friction impacting commodity flows.
