ICE data showed speculative net long positions in Brent crude rose by 31,977 contracts to 233,029 in the week to Oct 13.

Chicago Fed President Goolsbee said this week’s consumer and producer price readings came in above expectations and were "disappointing." He said he "remains somewhat hopeful": if the factors lifting inflation — whether tariffs or supply disruptions from the Middle East war — fade quickly, that would be the best outcome; if inflation instead reflects overheated demand or a large-scale buildout of AI data centers, it would be more concerning and would require policy action.

CFTC: week ended Oct. 13 speculative funds cut net short position in CME S&P 500 futures by 5,804 contracts to 390,896 contracts.
