GLOBAL MARKET ROUND UP

* Gold held firm in the Asian trading session on Tuesday, buoyed by expectations of additional Fed rate cuts, which would increase the appeal of the non-interestbearing precious metal. However, reports of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepting a "bridging proposal" from Washington to overcome obstacles preventing a ceasefire accord in Gaza limit further gains as safe haven premiums decline.

* Crude oil prices extended the previous session loss on Tuesday after Israel agreed to a proposal to resolve issues that were impeding a cease-fire agreement in Gaza, easing concerns about Middle Eastern supply disruptions. Production at Libya's Sharara oilfield has risen to about 85,000 barrels per day, also easing supply concerns.

* Natural gas futures began with strong gains on Monday, supported by higher temperatures expected for later this week throughout most of the U.S., the likelihood of more output limitations, and storm premiums as peak hurricane season approaches.

* Copper prices rose nearly 1% on Monday, buoyed by fears about low supply. The workers' strike at BHP's Escondida copper mine in Chile may disrupt more than 5% of the world's copper supply. Furthermore, Lundin Mining has halted operations at its copper mine in Chile, which might put additional pressure on the market.
