Copper and other base metals recovery continue as bargain buying, and a pullback in the US dollar eased pressure on base metal prices - HDFC Securities Ltd
GLOBAL MARKET ROUND UP
The war between Russia and Ukraine escalated further, leading to a surge in gold prices for the third consecutive session. Tensions are rising between Ukraine and Russia following claims that Ukraine fired long-range missiles into Russia. According to reports, Russia is ready to unleash intercontinental ballistic missiles in possible retaliation against Kiev.
Geopolitical tensions overshadowed continued weak demand and high supply, causing crude oil to retreat from the day's high and settle slightly lower on Wednesday. Crude oil inventories in the US rose by 0.545 million barrels in the week ended November 15, 2024, above market expectations of a 0.4 million build. At the same time, gasoline stocks increased by 2.054 million, more than forecasts of a 1.62 million increase.
Natural gas surged more than 7.0% on Wednesday to a 10-month high in forecasts for colder weather over the next two weeks than previously expected. This will increase heating demand for natural gas, driving prices sharply higher. In addition to this, an increase in export demand has also led to a sharp rise in gas prices. The amount of gas flowing to U.S. LNG export plants was on track to rise recently.
Copper and other base metals recovery continue as bargain buying, and a pullback in the US dollar eased pressure on base metal prices. Meanwhile, in China, the People's Bank of China left key lending rates unchanged, in line with expectations, offering no new signals that could affect demand in the world's largest copper consumer
