The company\u2019s executive team highlighted that demand for 2028 is already &quot;several times larger&quot; than available capacity, with <strong>70% of deals this year involving upfront prepayments<\/strong> from customers. Despite a narrower-than-expected adjusted loss of <strong>$1.27 per share<\/strong>, the company faces scrutiny over its debt load, which exceeded <strong>$50 billion<\/strong> as of mid-2026.<\/p>\n<p>Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman added a note of caution to the AI fervor, stating that equity valuations could face a major downturn if AI bets do not pan out. Bowman also noted that <strong>AI-related debt is on track to exceed $800 billion<\/strong> this year, warning that persistent inflation may require &quot;still more work&quot; from the Fed. Her comments coincided with October core CPI data rising <strong>0.3% month-over-month<\/strong>, slightly above expectations, fueling debate over a potential December rate hike.<\/p>\n<h2>Energy and Commodity Markets<\/h2>\n<p>The American Petroleum Institute (API) reported a surprise <strong>9.8 million-barrel drop<\/strong> in U.S. crude stocks for the week ending November 6. This drawdown was nearly ten times the size of the 1 million-barrel decline expected by analysts. While crude stocks fell, <strong>gasoline inventories rose by 2.7 million barrels<\/strong>, and distillate stocks saw a sharp decline of <strong>8 million barrels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The massive crude draw suggests a significant tightening of the domestic market, even as Brent crude prices have recently softened. Market participants are now looking toward official <strong>EIA data<\/strong> to confirm the scale of the inventory shift. The API also reported that <strong>Cushing stocks rose by 5.1 million barrels<\/strong>, providing a buffer at the key delivery hub despite the overall national decline.<\/p>\n<h2>Geopolitical Developments<\/h2>\n<p>In a diplomatic push, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged European leaders to &quot;pick a rep fast&quot; to ensure Europe has a seat at the table during upcoming peace negotiations with Russia. Speaking from Copenhagen, Zelenskyy emphasized that Europe cannot have &quot;40 people talking to Putin&quot; and needs a unified voice. The urgency comes as <strong>U.S.-mediated talks between Ukraine and Russia<\/strong> commenced in Abu Dhabi, led by envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, security concerns in the Baltics spiked as <strong>NATO fighters were scrambled<\/strong> to intercept an unidentified object flying from Belarus. In the Middle East, Israeli intelligence assessments now estimate that <strong>Iran holds approximately 450 kg of highly enriched <a href=\"https:\/\/stockmarketwatch.com\/metal\/uranium\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"13\" title=\"Uranium\">uranium<\/a><\/strong>. Officials warn that Iran has developed the ability to &quot;learn in real time,&quot; adapting its tactics as regional tensions remain at a boiling
