GLOBAL MARKET ROUND UP

Gold steadied after a two-day advance ahead of US inflation data, which may offer clues on the size of the Federal Reserve's expected rate cut next week. For the past few weeks, spot gold has remained trapped in a broader range of $2,480 to $2,530.

Crude oil tumbled more than 4.0% on Tuesday as energy demand remained at the forefront of market concerns. Despite some supply issues from a storm in the Gulf, sentiment continued to decline due to demand concerns from China and an expected slowdown in consumption as summer comes to an end in Europe and the US. A strong selloff pushed Brent crude below $70 per barrel for the first time in over two years.

Natural gas rose by 2.86% in the previous session as oil and gas producers cut output ahead of a hurricane expected to hit Louisiana on Wednesday.

Copper and aluminum gave up early gains and settled lower on Tuesday as traders assessed the demand outlook in China. Chinese trade data offered evidence of weakening domestic demand for metals, even as it showed overall exports in August hit their highest in nearly two years.

The nation’s copper imports fell 5.6% on the month, while a surge in exports of aluminum products continued. Asian stock fell on Wednesday due to growth concerns ahead of a US inflation report, with benchmarks in Japan and Hong Kong leading the declines.
