The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 57 points in pre-market hours on reports that Saudi Arabia intends to limit oil production in December. The news sent WTI and Brent crude higher in New York. Saudi Arabia plans to cut its oil production by 500,000 barrels per day and suggested that OPEC could limit the global supply in 2019.

Oil prices are off roughly 20% from their 2018 highs on concerns about global growth and word that the United States has allowed some nations to purchase Iranian crude despite sanctions on the country.

Here are the numbers from Tuesday for the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq:

Index Previous Close Point Change Percentage Change
Dow Jones 25,989.30 -201.92 -0.77%
S&P 500 2,781.01 -25.82 -0.92%
Nasdaq 7,406.90 -123.98 -1.65%

Now here's a closer look at today's Money Morning insight, the most important market events, and stocks to watch.

The Top Stock Market Stories for Monday

  • Concerns about Britain's departure from the European Union once again rattled the British pound. Prime Minister Theresa May is playing defense after former UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson argued that her cabinet should mutiny over the plan. In an editorial to The Daily Telegraph, Johnson suggested that May's plans would convert Britain into a "vassal state."
  • Canada just legalized all marijuana use on Oct. 17, and Mexico may not be too far behind. On Nov. 8, Sen. Olga Sanchez Cordero submitted a 26-page bill that would legalize marijuana and allow its commercial sale in all of Mexico. This is massive news, and it could fuel another wave of legalization across the United States. If you're serious about making money on this trend, then stop what you're doing and go here now.
