Gold ended the session lower, as traders took stock of the mood across financial markets - HDFC Securities
GLOBAL MARKET ROUND UP
Gold ended the session lower, as traders took stock of the mood across financial markets. Despite its haven status, the precious metal was caught up in Monday’s plunge. However, fears of weakening economic growth in the US have helped support its appeal.
Copper fell as stockpiles continued to build. A 42,175t inflow on Wednesday took inventories in London Metal Exchange warehouses to a four-year high. Most of the metal is flooding into sheds in South Korea and Taiwan, key entry points for Chinese metal. Industrial commodities have been on a downhill trend for months. The LMEX Metals Index, tracking six major metals on London’s exchange, has fallen 19% since peaking in May and nearly erased 2024’s gains.
Crude oil extended gains as the recovery from Monday’s selloff continued. However, the gains were supported by renewed supply-side issues. The market has been on edge as it awaits a response from Iran. An aggressive response could lead to wider conflict in the Middle East and threaten oil supply.
Global gas prices surged amid renewed risks to supply.
Asian equities fell Thursday, continuing a rout of volatile trading as investors digest signals from central banks on the path ahead for interest rates.
The Reserve Bank of India is expected to hold rates steady at 6.5% for a ninth straight meeting.
