GLOBAL MARKET ROUND UP
Gold advanced as investors found comfort in the Federal Reserve’s signals that it would still pivot toward lowering borrowing costs. Jerome Powell said the Fed is seeking more confidence in inflation before deciding on a rate cut. He added that it’s unlikely that the next move would be a hike, and he kept the language referring to a future reduction of interest rates, suggesting that the easing bias remains in place.
On the macro front, the JOLTS report showed US job openings fell by more than estimated in March. Factory activity contracted in April, while input prices rose at the fastest pace since inflation peaked in 2022. Construction spending unexpectedly declined in March.
Crude oil fell more than 3.0% in the previous session due to a big jump in US crude inventories, which added to concerns about weakening demand. US crude stockpiles jumped 7.3 million barrels last week, the most since early February.
All base metals are dropping after a recent gain. After Nyrstar announced on Tuesday that it would restart a key European smelter later this month, Zinc corrected for a second day.
Most Asian equities rose after Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell downplayed the prospect of further interest-rate hikes.
