Global Market Report 21st Nov

---

November 21, 2025 was marked by cautious risk sentiment across global financial markets. Major equity indices, such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average , S&P 500 , and Nasdaq 100 , traded mixed to slightly lower, reflecting investors’ sensitivity to profit-taking, sector rotation, and macroeconomic signals. Commodities presented a split picture: crude oil and palladium saw notable declines on demand and supply worries, while softs like cocoa, coffee and orange juice rebounded. Key grains including wheat and corn were subdued, and safe-haven gold moved off highs, tracking shifts in real yields and global growth outlook.

In currencies and digital assets, the US Dollar and major pairs like EUR/USD and GBP/USD were little changed, although global FX volatility remained in focus. Cryptocurrencies faced sharp correction, with Bitcoin plunging below $84,000 and Ethereum sliding—reflecting liquidation, risk-off moves, and rotation out of digital assets. For new followers, today’s market offers a clear lesson in diversification, the influence of macro data on all asset classes, and the need to stay alert to cross-asset sentiment shifts and economic event risks.
