US stock fluctuation: Webull plummets on October 7 due to congressional investigation, security risks, and regulatory concerns
Bitget异动解读2026/10/07 13:35Webull October 7 Downturn Interpretation
Keywords: Congressional investigation, security risks, regulatory concerns
1. On October 7, 2026, relevant committees of the U.S. House of Representatives alleged that Webull has structural connections in areas such as ownership, technology infrastructure, data routing, and compliance, considering it a national security risk. This has raised concerns about its U.S. operations and regulatory status.
2. On October 7, 2026, major U.S. stock indices opened weaker, and both Robinhood and Interactive Brokers saw declines as well, but their drops were significantly less than that of Webull. This indicates that while the market and online brokerage sector weakness put some pressure on share prices, the main selling pressure on Webull stemmed from the specific investigation news about the company.

IEA member countries support accelerating the implementation of the March oil reserve release plan
At a meeting on Wednesday, the International Energy Agency (IEA) member governments expressed support for accelerating the implementation of the oil reserve release plan that was announced during the collective action in March of this year, and pledged to complete the releases as soon as possible. Given the current tight supply in the diesel market, member countries also agreed to prioritize the release of diesel reserves where conditions allow. So far, IEA member countries have released approximately 325 million barrels of oil according to the March collective action, with some countries exceeding their previously committed volumes. The IEA made it clear that if all pledged but not yet released reserves from the March action are fully drawn down, an additional 100 million barrels are expected to enter the market. This means the approximately 100 million barrels that the market is currently watching mainly represent the accelerated execution of the commitments made in March, rather than a new emergency release plan of an extra 100 million barrels. At present, IEA member countries still hold substantial government-controlled emergency oil reserves, totaling about 1.1 billion barrels, which includes more than 200 million barrels of diesel. The IEA stated it is prepared to further release reserves into the market if required by market conditions.
