United States President Donald Trump warned on Tuesday that the job in the Gaza Strip will not be completed until the remains of all the deceased hostages are returned.
“ALL TWENTY HOSTAGES ARE BACK AND FEELING AS GOOD AS CAN BE EXPECTED. A big burden has been lifted, but the job IS NOT DONE. THE DEAD HAVE NOT BEEN RETURNED, AS PROMISED,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. He also stressed that the second phase of the Gaza peace deal “begins right NOW.”
Trump’s remarks come after Hamas handed over the bodies of only four out of 28 dead hostages yesterday. However, Axios reported earlier that the militant group could return the remains of all the slain abductees today or tonight.

Crude oil prices declined by more than 2% on Tuesday after the International Energy Agency (IEA) released its monthly report, lowering its forecast for the global oil demand growth for 2025 to 710,000 barrels per day, which is 30,000 bpd less than the agency projected last month. It also adjusted its forecast for the global supply, now expecting it to climb by 3 million bpd in 2025, causing concerns of oversupply among investors.
The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for November’s deliveries dropped by 2.25% at 4:44 am ET, going for $58.15 per barrel. Meanwhile, Brent for settlements in December fell by 2.18% to $61.99 per barrel at 4:45 am ET.
NN: Oil prices this low are stoking demand. On the other side production is shutting down. a lack of supply is coming. Data centers are hugh oil energy consumers. alternatve supples are decades away…. if ever!
The altcoin casino blew up in spectacular fashion last week — and it’s not clear the gamblers are coming back.
The crash didn’t just hit Bitcoin. It vaporized entire ecosystems of speculative tokens that had promised generational wealth through viral memes, big-name branding, and blind faith in momentum. Bitcoin fell 13% after a fresh US-China tariff spat. But the damage was far deeper in smaller tokens, many of which fell as much as 80% before a tentative recovery. Trump’s memecoin, promoted earlier this year by US President Donald Trump, fell 37% on Friday, according to CoinMarketCap. World Liberty Financial Inc.’s WLFI token, also affiliated with the Trump family, plunged by a similar clip. Of the $380 billion erased, about $131 billion came from altcoins, according to 10x Research — a sector built on thinner liquidity, speculative narratives, and day-trader hype. The crash raises doubts about the future of the altcoin ecosystem. Traders and market makers see structural support for these tokens eroding, with fewer buyers and rising risk aversion. The episode — unprecedented in speed and scope — threatens to mark a decisive break from a go-go era when anonymous projects could spike 1,000% with no rhyme or reason. As researchers at Arca put it, casual observers watching global markets may have missed it. But “if you’re a fully on-chain crypto degenerate trader, however, you witnessed armageddon.”
Altcoins encompass a broad swathe of digital assets, excluding Bitcoin and Ether. These include memecoins pegged to popular trends on social media, such as the shiba inu breed of dogs, a cartoon frog named Pepe and even a real-life hippo named Moo Deng. These kinds of coins were hit hardest on Friday and early Saturday. The selloff began as risk appetite across markets weakened, but altcoins fell harder due to their inherent fragility. Many are thinly traded, lack real buyer depth, and rely heavily on a small group of players to stabilize prices. When selling pressure intensifies, those buyers often pull back, leaving tokens exposed to rapid price moves. Without strong fundamentals or sustained demand, price discovery tends to unravel quickly. Yet, despite being thinly traded compared with Bitcoin and Ether, they had grown to command a large share of the market. Bitcoin’s share of the total crypto market fell from almost 65% in July to 58.5% currently, according to CoinMarketCap. The shift matters. Bitcoin’s dominance has historically collapsed before major industry drawdowns, from 70% in 2019 to 38% in late 2022 just ahead of last big wipeout — before rebounding as capital fled back to safer digital assets.
Now market participants expect another such turn, with a long freeze for niche digital assets. That’s not just because many traders saw their portfolios obliterated last week, but because so few coins had proved profitable even before the recent carnage.
“The problem with alt coins is, yes, they can go up more,” said Morten Christensen, a trader who runs AirdropAlert.com. “But they can go -50% in a day or -90% in a week. I am not going to play that game with my portfolio late in the cycle when the odds keep increasing that the end is here.”
The Trump memecoin is down nearly 78% since it debuted in January, with much of that decline happening before the crash, according to CoinMarketCap. XRP, the world’s fifth-biggest coin, is trading at around the price where it started off in January. Given the scale of losses hitting the day-trader class, Evgeny Gaevoy, Wintermute’s chief executive officer, puts it bluntly: “the alt coin market will shrink.”

Silver prices touched an all-time high near $53 an ounce, as a historic short squeeze in London added momentum to a rally that’s been fueled by surging demand for safe-haven assets. Spot prices rose as much as 1% to $52.8983 an ounce in London, surpassing a peak set in January 1980 on a now-defunct contract overseen by the Chicago Board of Trade — when the billionaire Hunt brothers attempted to corner the market. Gold also climbed to another record high, building on eight straight weeks of gains.
Concerns about a lack of liquidity in London have sparked a worldwide hunt for silver, with benchmark prices soaring to near-unprecedented levels over New York. That’s prompting some traders to book cargo slots on transatlantic flights for silver bars — an expensive mode of transport typically reserved for gold — to profit off higher prices in London. The premium was at about $1.15 an ounce in early trading on Tuesday — down from a spread of $3 last week.
Precious Metals Are on Record-Setting Run This Year

Silver lease rates — which represent the annualized cost of borrowing metal in the London market — have been persistently high this year, but surged to more than 30% on a one-month basis on Friday. That’s creating eye-watering costs for those looking to roll over short positions. A jump in demand from India in recent weeks has drawn down the supply of available bars to trade in London, following a rush to ship metal to New York earlier this year after worries that the metal could be hit with US tariffs sparked large dislocations between the two trading hubs.
The silver market “is less liquid and roughly nine times smaller than gold’s, amplifying price moves,” Goldman Sachs Group Inc. analysts wrote in a note. “Without a central bank bid to anchor silver prices, even a temporary pullback in investment flows could trigger a disproportionate correction, as it would also unwind the London tightness that drove much of the recent rally.”

The four main precious metals have surged between 56% and 81% this year, in a rally that’s dominated commodity markets. Gold’s advance has been underpinned by central-bank buying, rising holdings in exchange-traded funds, and rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Demand for havens has also been aided by recurrent US-China trade tensions, threats to the Fed’s independence, and a US government shutdown.
“There seems to be no good reason to fight the trends in both gold and silver,” said Shyam Devani, an investor in Singapore. “It has become clearer the trends have accelerated, and are likely to continue because the underlying issues of weak governments, poor budgetary positions, confusion on monetary policies all conspire to push up both gold and silver higher.”
On Monday analysts at Bank of America Corp. hiked their end-of-2026 price target for silver from around $44 an ounce to $65, citing persistent market deficits, elevated fiscal gaps and lower interest rates.
NN: I love a mindless rally based on manipulation i can short. In my opinion its a guaranteed BIG pay day,
Hamas has freed all remaining living Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip. Israel has released almost 2,000 jailed Palestinians.
President Donald Trump is in Egypt and joined a ceremony on the Gaza plan attended by other global leaders. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was invited by Egypt but did not go.
The ceasefire was secured after days of indirect negotiations brokered by the US, Egypt, Qatar and Turkey on the terms of a 20-point plan put forward by Trump.
Trump spoke earlier at the Israeli parliament, where he said Gaza would be immediately demilitarized. He also used his speech to lobby for Netanyahu to receive a pardon that would offer a reprieve from his ongoing corruption trial.
It’s a wrap at Sharm El-Sheikh, after a day marked by a stream of thank yous. Here are the key takeaways:
Hamas freed all remaining living Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip and Israel released almost 2,000 jailed Palestinians convicted murders, according to the first phase of US President Donald Trump’s 20-point agreement. The remains of deceased Israeli hostages are in the process of being released, but that process is expected to take at least several days.

In Egypt, the US president addressed the rebuilding of Gaza, saying a number of countries had come forward to join in on the effort.
Tony Blair, the former UK prime minister who had been suggested by Trump as a potential member of the “Board of Peace,” was present at the summit. Yet, Trump has seemed to cool on the idea, saying he needed to understand if Blair would be “popular with all.” FIFA chief Gianni Infantino also attended the gathering in Egypt.
NN: I hate to burst the bubble on Trumps great performance at his international TV show PEACE 2025. But reality is Hamas is heavily armed fully embedded in their command and control terrorist tunnels deep underground Gaza. They swear they will never disarm. So tell me how is this a lasting peace?
President Donald Trump joined more than 20 world leaders for the reality TV show in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, on Monday Titled YOUR HIRED themed on Gaza’s future with the first phase of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement underway. Among the cast of characters for the made for TV show were Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and former prime minister Tony Blair, as well as officials from Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Turkey.
The group posed for the publicity picture in front of a sign that read “Peace 2025” before the main event a signing ceremony related to the ceasefire agreement. Staring Donald Trump and with supporting actors Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, with world leaders seated behind them, formally signed the document that Trump said would “spell out a lot of rules and regulations and lots of other things.”
“This took 3,000 years to get to this (PEACE 2025 SCRIPT) point. Can you believe it? And it’s going to hold up too. It’s going to hold up,” Trump said in the middle of signing the document, the text of which was later released by the White House. I think GOD may have a different script Then Trumps PEACE 2025 in long time production Titled ARMAGEDDON.

The memorandum, dubbed “The Trump Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity,” laid out broad commitments the four leaders agreed to uphold in backing Trump’s peace plan but appeared largely symbolic. “We understand that lasting peace will be one in which both Palestinians and Israelis can prosper with their fundamental human rights protected, their security guaranteed, and their dignity upheld,” the memo stated. “We hereby commit to the resolution of future disputes through diplomatic engagement and negotiation rather than through force or protracted conflict. We acknowledge that the Middle East cannot endure a persistent cycle of prolonged warfare, stalled negotiations, or the fragmentary, incomplete, or selective application of successfully negotiated terms,” it said.
Noticeably absent from the signing ceremony and talks in Egypt, though, were representatives of Hamas and Israel.
NN: I hate to burst the bubble on Trumps great performance at his international reality TV show. Quite a staged production live broadest world wide from Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt,. titled Your Hired. A grand show indeed with 20 hand picked global leaders singing the theme song:
How great thou art! How great thou art! Then sings my soul, to thee: Donald Trump How great thou art! How great thou art!
All i can say is good luck to all. Peace Peace they cried… There will be no peace.
United States President Donald Trump signed on Monday, along with other signatories, the peace deal between Israel and Hamas. The agreement was signed during the peace summit in Sharm el-Sheikh. In addition to Trump, Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and the presidents of Egypt and Turkey, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Recep Tayyip Erdogan also inked the deal.
Notably, neither Israel nor Hamas was in attendance. However, Trump previously visited Israel, where he also signed the deal
NN: Some peace deal. The two combatandants were not present. Neither signed the “ha ha ha ha” peace deal.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) left the global growth forecast for 2025 at 3% in its report on Monday, unchanged from last month’s estimate. OPEC said that the global economy remained on a healthy trajectory in the first half of the year, noting that the economic growth in the United States in the second quarter offset the weaker performance in the first quarter, which was impacted by tariff expectations. “The global economy is expected to sustain its growth path through the remainder of 2025 and into 2026,” OPEC predicted, adding that the global system is gradually adapting to trade disruptions. Economic growth in 2026 is seen at 3.1%, the same as in September. The US is projected to grow by 1.8% in 2025 and 2.1% in 2026, the Eurozone by 1.2% in both years, and China by 4.8% and 4.5% respectively.
United States President Donald Trump said at the Knesset in Israel on Monday that he believes Israel and the Middle East will enter a “golden age” following the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. “Generations from now, this will be remembered as the moment everything began to change, and change very much for the better,” he said. Trump announced the end of an “age of terror and death, and the beginning of an age of faith and hope and of God.” He said the Middle East will soon be a “truly magnificent region,” as he thanked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his role in the ceasefire deal, and called him a “man of exceptional courage and patriotism.”
