Copper rose almost 1.50% in the previous session due to a short covering rally and bargain buying - HDFC Securities
GLOBAL MARKET ROUND UP
Gold settled higher on Thursday, bolstered by the latest US jobs reading, which indicates signs of a cooling labor market ahead of more data due later today, which could prove key in determining the size of the Federal Reserve’s rate cut this month.
Data showed on Thursday, US companies added the fewest jobs since the start of 2021, while weekly unemployment claims fell below estimates. Data added to signs of a slowing labor market and supported arguments for an aggressive rate cut.
Crude oil was poised for the biggest weekly loss in almost a year on persistent concerns about soft demand and ample supply, even as OPEC+ delayed a planned increase in output by two months. Meanwhile, official US commercial crude inventories dropped by almost 7 million barrels last week to the lowest in about a year.
Natural gas surged to a two-week high and settled more than 5.0% up, supported by lower-than-expected weekly storage data. The EIA reported that natural gas inventories rose +13 bcf, weaker than expectations of +27 bcf and well below the five-year average for this time of year of +51 bcf.
Copper rose almost 1.50% in the previous session due to a short covering rally and bargain buying. Industrial users are buying after heavy selling earlier in the week, but global economic concerns are dampening demand for industrial metals, limiting the gains.
