Paraguayan lawmakers voted to impeach President Santiago Peña minutes after he stepped down. His resignation came as a digital bank tied to his government collapsed, freezing millions of savers’ money. The right‑wing administration had let Ueno Bank dramatically expand its operations before the failure. Under Peña, the once‑obscure digital startup grew into a major institution in just a few years.

After a tech‑driven market plunge, the October employment report due Friday could either lift investor sentiment or add to their worries.

Oil futures climbed back after the previous day’s steep losses, while traders kept hopes that the United States and Iran might reach a deal following the midterm elections.

Bloom Energy shares fell among the biggest losers in the S&P 500 as investors worried that data‑center construction could slow after the midterms.
