The overall market sentiment was dampened by a report by Reuters that President Donald Trump was keen on imposing retaliatory export curbs to China of products made with US software, impacting a broad range of goods including laptops and jet engines, among others.

Trump’s decision followed Beijing’s newly imposed policy earlier this month that sought to curb exports of rare earth products, with foreign entities now required to obtain export licenses.

In other news, Cipher Mining Inc. (NASDAQ:CIFR) announced that it would release the results of its third quarter earnings performance before market open on November 3, 2025.
