Trade concerns dampen risk appetite; U.S. stock index futures fall across the board, gold and silver rise together, while Bitcoin drops more than 1%.
```
Concerns about trade prospects have risen again. Although the market is optimistic about the near end of the US government shutdown, this positive factor has failed to effectively boost risk appetite. As a result, US stock index futures and most cryptocurrencies generally pulled back, while safe-haven funds pushed up spot gold prices.
On November 11, market sentiment turned more cautious. US stock index futures generally declined, European stocks opened collectively higher, and major Asian stock indexes showed mixed performances. Due to Veterans Day, the US bond market was closed, and the US dollar index remained flat overall. Gold and silver rose together, while cryptocurrencies continued their decline.
The US government shutdown set a record at 41 days, and it is expected to end as early as Wednesday. Earlier, the Senate’s move to advance a temporary funding bill was interpreted by the market as a sign of breaking the deadlock, which helped boost sentiment. Hebe Chen, analyst at Melbourne Vantage Markets, said:
"Market confidence remains cautious. Although investors welcome the 'back to business' atmosphere, a month-long absence of economic data means the next round of US economic releases may bring new surprises—even amid heightened optimism, the market still needs to stay vigilant."
The key market performances are as follows:
US stock index futures all saw small pullbacks. S&P 500 index futures fell 0.16%, Nasdaq 100 index futures fell 0.26%, Dow Jones index futures fell 0.04%European stocks opened collectively higher. The Euro Stoxx 50 index rose 0.25%, the UK FTSE 100 index rose 0.89%, the French CAC40 index rose 0.31%, and the German DAX30 index rose 0.14%.

US stock index futures collectively saw a slight pullback. Although reopening the government allows economic data releases to resume and helps the market assess Federal Reserve policy, uncertainty over trade prospects has significantly dampened optimism.

Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) rose over 0.8%. The index's rise benefited from a continued rebound in tech stocks. Korean chipmakers SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics both saw their share prices rise nearly 4%, being the main driving force behind the index's rise.

Spot gold rose over 0.3%, once again breaking above $4,100/ounce.
