Global Markets
(A) Precious Metals
Gold: $4,088.29/oz (+0.41%)
Gold rose 0.41% to $4,088.29/oz as buyers returned after prices touched a six-month low. The rebound was supported by bargain buying near the $4,000 level, while gains remained limited by higher U.S. rate expectations and inflation concerns. Matt Simpson of StoneX said a move toward $4,000 could attract buyers or lead bears to book profits.
Silver: $63.98/oz (+0.90%)
Silver gained 0.90% to $63.98/oz, tracking gold’s recovery after recent weakness. Safe-haven demand and bargain buying supported the move, but higher rate expectations kept upside limited.
(B) Energy
Brent Crude: $86.92/bbl (-0.12%)
Brent crude slipped 0.12% to $86.92/bbl as prices eased slightly after recent volatility. Losses were limited by renewed U.S.-Iran tensions, Strait of Hormuz concerns, and tightening crude supply. ING analysts said energy flows from the Persian Gulf may remain constrained.
(C) FX
EUR/USD: ~1.1547 (+0.06%)
EUR/USD edged higher to around 1.1547 ahead of the ECB policy decision, while gains stayed limited by stronger U.S. inflation and Fed rate-hike expectations. Carol Kong of CBA said the ECB may not sound hawkish enough to support market expectations.
GBP/USD: ~1.3379 (+0.07%)
GBP/USD moved slightly higher near 1.3379 as the dollar eased mildly. However, upside remained limited as traders stayed cautious over U.S. inflation, Fed policy, and Middle East tensions.
USD/JPY: ~160.52 (+0.02%)
USD/JPY held near 160.52 as firm U.S. rate expectations kept the yen under pressure. Markets also remained alert for possible Japanese intervention.
Dollar Index: ~99.90 (-0.14%)
The Dollar Index slipped to around 99.90, but remained supported by strong U.S. inflation and tighter Fed policy expectations.
