The rally was fueled by optimistic commentary from Russia\u2019s top negotiator, <strong>Vladimir Medinsky<\/strong>, who indicated that peace negotiations in Abu Dhabi have brought the sides closer to an agreement. While a breakthrough on territory remains elusive, the two nations reportedly reached an &quot;in-principle&quot; agreement on a large-scale prisoner exchange, according to <em>Interfax<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The positive sentiment was further bolstered by strong earnings in the AI sector. <strong>CoreWeave<\/strong> (CRWV) surged <strong>13%<\/strong> in <a href=\"https:\/\/stockmarketwatch.com\/movers\/premarket\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Premarket Movers\">pre-market trading<\/a> after raising its 2026 revenue guidance to as high as <strong>$13.3 billion<\/strong>, providing a &quot;sigh of relief&quot; for tech investors. This tech-led momentum helped offset concerns from a &quot;hotter-than-expected&quot; October CPI report released earlier in the week.<\/p>\n<h2>Escalation in the Middle East and Black Sea<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the diplomatic overtures in Abu Dhabi, military activity remains high in key global transit zones. The <strong>Saudi-led coalition<\/strong> announced it intercepted and destroyed <strong>three Houthi cruise missiles<\/strong> launched toward Riyadh. The interception prevented damage to critical infrastructure, but the event underscores the persistent threat to regional stability and global oil supply chains.<\/p>\n<p>Simultaneously, the Russian Defence Ministry reported that its forces struck a <strong>cargo ship and an oil tanker<\/strong> in the Black Sea. A third dry cargo vessel was reportedly hit east of the port of <strong>Odesa<\/strong>. These strikes have led Ukrainian President <strong>Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/strong> to call for international naval escorts to protect agricultural exports, as the Black Sea continues to be labeled the world\u2019s deadliest shipping route.<\/p>\n<h2>Energy and Economic Outlook<\/h2>\n<p>In the energy sector, <strong>Gazprom (<a href=\"\/stock\/GAZP\">GAZP<\/a>)<\/strong> reported that gas flows to China reached a new historic high on November 10. This marks the fourth time this month that the <strong>Power of Siberia<\/strong> pipeline has hit record daily volumes. The surge in exports to the East comes as Russia seeks to solidify its long-term contract with the <strong>China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC)<\/strong> amid declining European demand.<\/p>\n<p>On the macroeconomic front, the <strong>German Council of Economic Experts<\/strong> significantly revised its growth outlook. The council now expects the German economy to grow by <strong>1.3% in 2026<\/strong>, up from a previous estimate of 0.5%. While the recovery is gaining momentum through exports and government spending, experts warned that a growing budget deficit\u2014driven by increased defense spending\u2014remains a medium-term risk to the Eurozone&#39;s largest economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways S&amp;P 500 Index Futures (SPX) surged 1%, signaling a tech-led rebound as investors look past
