  The investment bank made $3 billion of profit on revenue of nearly $13 billion in Q3, it reported yesterday, surpassing even the rosiest of expectations. Bloomberg reported that it was the best quarter ever for Goldman’s stock trading unit, putting the group on track for a record year. And it wasn’t just Goldman: Bank of America, Citigroup, and JPMorgan Chase all beat forecasts, largely thanks to gains in trading revenue. Executives credited optimism around the US economy, along with the Fed’s interest rate cuts being likely to encourage more dealmaking.

  US tells Israel to let more aid trucks into Gaza. In a letter to the Israeli government sent this week, the Biden administration said Israel has to “reverse the downward humanitarian trajectory” in Gaza or risk losing US military aid. US leaders warned of “implications” for future weapons supplied to Israel if the country doesn’t boost aid truck crossings in Gaza and facilitate other aid, including allowing the Red Cross to visit Palestinian detainees in Israel who are reportedly being abused. The US gave Israel 30 days to stop obstructing aid crossings and “demonstrate a sustained commitment” to halting the humanitarian crisis. Following two weeks with no aid truck crossings, some US officials fear that many people in northern Gaza could die of starvation within the week.

• Dow retreats from record high, Nasdaq tumbles 1% as chip stocks dip

  U.S. stocks finished lower on Tuesday, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite leading declines. Semiconductor shares tumbled on concerns of continued pressures in the broader chip market.

  
  

  The Nasdaq Composite slumped 187.10 points, or over 1%, ending at 18,315.59, according to FactSet data. It was the largest one-day point and percentage decline since Oct. 7, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

  
  

  The S&P 500 lost 44.59 points, or 0.8%, to finish at 5,815.26. The large-cap benchmark index also snapped a two-day winning streak.

  
  

  The Dow Jones Industrial Average was off 324.80 points, or nearly 0.8%, ending at 42,740.42.

  
  

  U.S. semiconductor stocks fell on Tuesday after the Dutch microchip-equipment maker ASML Holding N.V. said it expects a “more gradual” recovery in the chip sector than previously anticipated. Shares of Nvidia Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. were down 4.7% and 5.2%, respectively.

  
  

  The Dow, on the other hand, was dragged down by a 8.1% slump in shares of UnitedHealth Group Inc. The healthcare giant beat third-quarter profit and revenue expectations but missed on the medical-care profitability and lowered its full-year outlook.

• International Oil Market Summary [Overnight]
  Oil prices fell by 3% during Asian trading, driven by weakening demand...
  Oil prices fell by 3% during Asian trading, driven by weakening demand and a media report indicating that Israel may avoid targeting Iranian oil infrastructure, easing supply disruption fears. The drop followed a 2% decline on Monday, nearly erasing last week’s gains, which had been fueled by concerns over geopolitical tensions.
  
  While OPEC lowered its global oil demand growth forecast for 2024, citing weaker Chinese demand, oil prices remain supported by ongoing geopolitical risks. The easing of immediate geopolitical threats might provide temporary relief for oil and natural gas prices, but demand outlook remains a key driver for both commodities.
  
  As of 08:59 AM ET - Brent Crude is trading at $75.09, up slightly by 0.03%, but facing resistance ahead. The key pivot point stands at $75.54, and the immediate resistance sits at $76.85, with further targets at $78.06 and $79.47.
