Market Roundup
Gold in the international market rose by 1.66% in the previous session, supported by haven demand, as attention turned to a potential counterstrike that risks starting a full-blown war between the two Middle Eastern powers.
Crude oil consolidated in the upper-end range amid market anticipation of Israel’s response to an unprecedented attack from Iran. As per a Western media report, Israeli officials are vowing to retaliate against Iran. Meanwhile, natural gas futures fell over 4% to a more than two-week low on Monday, driven down by weaker demand expectations for this week than previously projected.
Metals swung sharply, with aluminum surging by a record before later erasing most of its gains as traders digested US and UK sanctions that banned delivery of new Russian supplies onto the LME.
On the macro front, China’s home prices continued to fall in March, adding pressure on authorities to step up efforts to support the embattled real estate market. While China’s GDP climbed a more-than-expected 5.3% in the first quarter, that strength was offset by industrial production and retail sales that both missed the mark in March.
Asia stocks dropped, following a big tech selloff on Wall Street and strong US data that signaled the Fed would be in no rush to cut rates.
