Volodymyr Zelensky is open to peace talks. Ukraine’s president signaled he would consider negotiating with Russia, something he had been vehemently against just a few months ago. However, any truce with Russia would be conditional on a) the return of occupied Ukrainian territory b) the prosecution of Russian war crimes and c) compensation for damages caused by the war. Behind the scenes, the US has been nudging Zelensky to publicly say he’d be willing to talk to Russia.

In elections dominated by economic concerns, Democrats performed much better than expected, perhaps dodging a so-called “red wave” that threatened to kick them out of power in both chambers.
The fates of both the Senate and the House are still unclear as the sun rises on Wednesday—and we may not know the outcome for days or weeks with major races still yet to be called.
Fetterman defeats Oz. In a closely watched race in the swing state of Pennsylvania, Democrats flipped a seat when John Fetterman defeated Dr. Mehmet Oz, the celebrity TV doctor who was backed by former President Trump.

The American Petroleum Institute (API) reported a large build this week for crude oil of 5.618 million barrels. U.S. crude inventories have grown by roughly 31 million barrels so far this year, according to API data, while the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserves fell by more than six times that figure, at 197 million barrels.
The build in crude oil inventories was partially due to the Department of Energy’s release of 3.6 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserves in the week ending November 4, leaving the SPR with 396.2 million barrels.
Cushing inventories fell 1.848 million barrels in the week to Nov 4. In the week prior, the API saw a Cushing increase of 883,000 barrels.
Oil prices could drop to the $70 range after this winter as current levels are unsustainable, OPEC+ member says

Oil prices could see a steep drop after this winter, as current levels are unsustainable, according to Oman's energy minister Salim al-Aufi.
"We don't believe that the current prices are sustainable comfortably," the OPEC+ member told Reuters at the United Nations Climate Change Conference on Tuesday. He predicted prices to ease to "a much more comfortable position" around $70. Oman has prepared for prices to fall to $55 a barrel, although Aufi believed that target was unlikely.
A price drop is contrary to what others in the industry have predicted, with UBS warning that crude oil could touch $125 a barrel if Russia retaliates against US-led plans to cap Russian oil prices, and Citi bank warning oil could hit $120 if supply continues to tighten ahead of winter.
