Good morning! We are still waiting for some positive news regarding the Iran peace proposal. Traders remain cautiously positive, but the time is getting shorter by the hour.
Outside of the war news, we had some interesting developments in the midterms races. Both parties are trying their best to inch a victory in November. Lastly, Romanian PM race is heating up, with 2 serious contenders matched for the favorite position.
Check out the markets below!
Main Events Of The Day
#1 Iran Peace
Despite some naval skirmishes traders are still somewhat bullish on a peace deal.
The lack of price decay since the weekend pump indicates that traders still believe we will see some bullish news. Additionally, prices on Iran closing its airspace reached a new low:
#2 The Strait Of Hormuz
The Strait of Hormuz continues to be effectively closed. The chart here somewhat resembles the peace deal chart, with traders hoping to see positive developments in the next few days.
Energy traders are also bullish peace with WTI price falling down to $90 per barrel:
#3 Landslide Victory In Texas
Last week we highlighted how Trump's endorsement of Paxton for Senate essentially won Paxton the race. This week we see that his margin of victory was severely underestimated.
Paxton won by 28 percentage points, shocking traders that expected a 10-15 margin. If anything, it's a testament to the strength of the Trump endorsement.
#4 A Volatile Race In SC
A race for the SC-06 is a volatile one. Republicans are trying to unseat a long-standing Democrat by gerrymandering the map.
Traders expected the Republican proposal to pass, however it seems that the Democratic seat is safe for now. This is only one of many small battles across the US as both parties are trying to cling a win during the upcoming midterms:
#5 Romania PM Race Heating Up
In Romania, Eugen Tomac is wildly rumored to be the next prime minister. However, traders started to aggressively buy Alexandru Nazare.
We didn't find any news on Nazare, but considering the high amount of Romanian traders on the platform, we are confident this move is based on some Romanian domestic rumors.
