Markets digested the impact of Hurricane Milton on the U.S. state of Florida.
Hurricane Milton moved into the Atlantic Ocean on Thursday after cutting a destructive path across Florida, killing at least 10 people and leaving millions without power. Florida is the third-largest gasoline consumer in the U.S., but there are no refineries in the state, making it dependent on waterborne imports.
