US crude oil inventories dropped by 4.0 million barrels in the week ending October 24th, 2025, following a 2.98 million-barrel build the previous week and below expectations for a 2.9 million barrel draw. This was the second consecutive drop after two straight weeks of strong builds.

The Ibovespa rose 0.3% to close at a fresh record of 147,429 on Tuesday, as markets awaited major earnings results. Banco do Brasil added 1% to lead the large banks traded in Sao Paulo, while Santander and Bradesco inched higher ahead of their results this week. Vale added 1% ahead of Thursday's earnings date, with projections of robust profits supported by elevated iron ore prices and record output. Ambev lost 0.9% ahead of its results. In the meantime, the broader market remained supported by hopes of a trade deal between the US and Brazil following their respective Presidents meeting.

Ibovespa Sets Fresh Record High

The S&P/TSX Composite rose 0.5% to close at 30,420 on Tuesday as a tech-led advance offset weakness in commodity names ahead of North American rate decisions and a busy earnings calendar. Data centre specialist Celestica jumped 7.3% after raising its 2025 revenue outlook and reporting Q3 revenue and profit above consensus, a clear signal of resilient demand for outsourced data services. Cameco surged 22.9% on news that Westinghouse Electric and Brookfield will partner with the US government on plans to build at least USD 80 billion of new nuclear reactors, a development that materially improves the long term demand outlook for uranium and lifted Brookfield 1.2%.
