Goldman Sachs released a report stating it maintains its base case that ongoing adjustments to Middle East oil supplies will eventually push crude prices lower, though renewed conflict remains a significant upside risk. The bank raised its December Brent crude price forecast to $90 per barrel, while keeping its 2027 average Brent crude forecast at $80 per barrel. It also projects December 2024 WTI crude prices to average $81 per barrel, and 2027 WTI prices to average $73 per barrel. Goldman Sachs noted that if 2027 average daily oil production in the Gulf region is 5 million barrels lower than its February 2026 level—instead of the 300,000-barrel drop in the base case—2027 average Brent crude prices could reach around $125 per barrel. Conversely, if 2027 average daily Gulf production is 1 million barrels higher than its February 2026 level, Brent crude prices could fall to above $60 per barrel in 2027. (Jin10)

This week, global markets will focus on the U.S. September CPI data to assess whether the Federal Reserve will maintain its "non-consecutive rate hike" stance. While most Fed officials believe another rate hike may be possible this year, recent comments show they are in no hurry to act at consecutive meetings. Market pricing for a rate hike on October 28 has fallen to around 19%, while a December rate hike is fully priced in. Geopolitically, the stalemate between the U.S. and Iran and the escalating situation in Yemen continue to support oil price risk premiums, while the U.S.-Russia diesel supply agreement has limited short-term impact.

Dongcha Beating AI News Flash, as cited by media outlet Dujia, reports that Tencent’s Yuanbao is developing a personal AI agent named "Yuanbao Assistant", with plans to launch a standalone app. The new product will operate in its own space with separate permissions from the main Yuanbao app, focusing on long-term memory and continuous task execution. Users can assign long-term follow-up tasks to the AI without needing to restart conversations each time. Multiple business departments within Tencent are also working on personal AI agent-related features, including its social business unit. Recently, Ant Group’s Lingguang has started internal testing of long-term task hosting functions, while ByteDance and Alibaba are also advancing similar products.

According to official data, HyperEVM-based synthetic perpetual protocol Papertrade has been live for 36 hours since its Saturday evening launch. After an initial boom, trading has cooled sharply, with trading volume and open interest (OI) plummeting. The platform’s cumulative notional trading volume exceeds $770 billion, while its total value locked (TVL) stands at $62.6 million, down 37% in 24 hours. Open interest positions hit $510 million, a roughly 85% drop from $3.3 billion 24 hours prior. The total margin for all existing positions is now just $6.4 million, down around 70% from $20.29 million 24 hours ago. Papertrade is a fully on-chain synthetic perpetual trading platform deployed on HyperEVM, fetching prices from the best bid/offer (BBO) mid-price of Hyperliquid’s order book. Users trade directly against the protocol’s liquidity providers (LPs) instead of via traditional order book matching. The protocol features high leverage, zero slippage, and no funding fees. Its native token PAPER has an initial supply of zero, with no pre-mined tokens, team allocations, or VC shares. The only source of minted PAPER is user losses or liquidations. During its early launch phase, the token is not freely transferable and is primarily used for staking.
