On 6 November 2025, oil prices eased as investors weighed weak U.S. refinery activity and a slower-than-expected global demand recovery, while also tracking potential supply-glut risks. OPEC+ producers are increasing output and Asia‐bound crude prices from Saudi Arabia were reduced, signalling softer demand. Brent futures slipped to around $63.14 a barrel and U.S.-type crude to about $59.13. Analysts warn the market may remain under pressure if consumption remains muted. 

On 6 November 2025, analysis of major central banks indicated the era of broad monetary-easing is winding down. The Federal Reserve, Bank of England and other G10-peers have paused or slowed rate-cuts, signalling a shift to ‘less-accommodative’ conditions. Markets are adjusting: small-cap stocks and less-leveraged names are getting increased attention amid concerns that liquidity tailwinds may fade. While the next Fed move may still be a cut, the cumulative magnitude and frequency of easing appear to have peaked.
