Investing.com — President Joe Biden and Xi Jinping met beside the G20 in Bali, Indonesia. The collapse of FTX continues to send shockwaves through the crypto space, but Binance has a remedy. A narrow victory in Nevada makes it more likely that Democrats will continue to dominate the Senate, splitting Congress in the final two years of Biden’s term. Stocks fell slightly at opening and oil fell amid hints of more output from the OPEC+ block. What to Know in Financial Markets Monday Nov 14 is as follows:
1. The Biden-Xi Jinping meeting
US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping first met on the sidelines of the G20 summit, which is overshadowed by Russia’s war in Ukraine.
The talks are akin to a reconciliation between the world’s two most important economies after Beijing effectively froze communications following House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan in the summer.
While the two leaders are not expected to announce a specific agreement, the talks will shed light on issues such as recent restrictions on the sale of U.S. semiconductors to Taiwan and Chinese companies that have had a significant impact on Chinese technology companies. You will have the opportunity to discuss important issues of .
In other G20 news, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who was standing in for Vladimir Putin in his absence, has suspected heart disease, AP reported, citing three sources in Indonesia. A spokeswoman for Lavrov dismissed the news as a “high-class fake.”
2. Congestion at the Capitol?
Biden arrived at the G20 in Bali buoyed by the knowledge Democrats had of the Senate in the midterm elections. That was confirmed by Catherine Cortez Mast’s close victory in Nevada over the weekend.
Also, Republicans have yet to confirm reclaiming control of the House, which appears to be shortly after last week’s vote. With 211 seats so far, Republicans have a small majority, according to the AP’s latest tally. However, internal divisions over Donald Trump and his legacy make it unlikely that Republicans will be able to exercise a decisive majority position in the House.
3. After Mr. Waller’s warning, the stock turned down.Brainerd Speech Eye
The US stock market is set to open lower this week after Federal Reserve President Christopher Waller warned over the weekend that the market was overreacting to October’s numbers.
Waller, one of the Fed’s more hawkish voices, said at a conference in Australia that the Fed was likely to slow down going forward, but the market was more cyclical than the pace of tightening. He warned that it should be more focused than “”.
The end point is still far away until inflation comes down, Waller said.

4. The collapse of FTX reverberates. CZ has a plan
Coinbase (NASDAQ:) and Robinhood (NASDAQ:) may also take notice as the collapse of crypto exchange FTX continues to shock the digital currency industry.
FTX’s $470 million stake in Robinhood is one of the few liquid assets likely to be recovered from the wreckage and was included in the list of 130 powerful affiliates involved in FTX’s bankruptcy. I was able to find my way to a company that didn’t file on Friday.
Binance, seen by many as the unchallenged leader of cryptocurrency exchanges, has announced the launch of an industry recovery fund after a long history of clashes with regulators. His CEO of Binance, Changpeng Zhao, will outline his idea on his Twitter stream at 08:30 ET.
The collapse of FTX has led to massive withdrawals across the crypto space, facing redemption demands of around $3 billion, while the outstanding supply of Ether has fallen by around 7% over the past two weeks. Exchange Crypto.com has again denied having trouble processing withdrawal requests.
5. Oil falls amid reports of OPEC production adjustments. OPEC monthly reporting deadline
Oil prices could reopen the property sector amid reports that the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries may revise its quotas again next month to allow countries that can produce more oil to do so. Unimpressed by China’s recent attempt to do so, it fell.

OPEC will also publish monthly reports on this sector during the day.
