• Moving on to the exchange rate, the Khmer riel to USD was stable at 4,008 riel per US dollar, while the US Dollar Index was down to 97.94.
   
• Oil prices dropped on Monday after Iraq's Kurdistan region resumed crude oil exports via Turkey over the weekend, coupled with OPEC+ plans for another oil production hike in November, adding to global supplies.

• U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was down 49 cents, or 0.8%, at $65.23 US dollars a barrel, giving back most of Friday's gains. (0630 GMT)
• Gold prices surged above $3,800 US dollars an ounce for the first time on Monday, driven by rising bets on a U.S. Federal Reserve rate cut that weakened the dollar, while concerns over a possible U.S. government shutdown bolstered safe-haven demand.
• Spot gold jumped 1.4% to $3,812.49 US dollars per ounce, after hitting $3,819.59 US dollars earlier in the session. (0727 GMT)
   
• US stock futures climbed early Monday as investors eyed a looming US government shutdown
• As of the time of the Cambodian market’s closing, Contracts tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 both rose around 0.4%. Futures on the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 popped 0.5%.
• A US government shutdown remains possible by Wednesday this week, leaving an air of doubt over whether the government will release key economic data. That includes the highly anticipated monthly jobs report on Friday, key to the U.S. Federal Reserve's picture of the economy and so the bets on interest-rate cuts that have helped drive markets.
