Global Market Round Up

Gold retreated from a record high and closed with modest losses the previous week amid mixed cues. Markets continued to evaluate the demand for safety in anticipation of the upcoming US elections while also assessing the Fed's policy outlook in response to the mixed macro data.

The US nonfarm payroll reported just 12,000 new jobs in October, down from a revised 254,000 a month earlier and well below expectations for a rise of 110,000 positions. The unexpectedly weak data is the last major economic release before the Federal Reserve's policy committee releases its next interest-rate decision on Nov. 7.

Crude oil settled almost 3.0% down for the week. Concerns over demand in the oil market are limiting any gains for crude, despite reports of an Iranian response to the Israeli strike, which has restored some balance to the market in a volatile week.

Natural gas fell about 14% weekly due to a weak demand outlook, as weather predictions are still predicting moderate temperatures for the first part of November.

Base metals have traded in a narrow range this week, retreating from a recent swing high, as investors assess China's demand outlook and the central government's battery of stimulus measures to shore up confidence. What to Watch: The outcome of the presidential election and the FOMC decision will dominate the commodity market in the upcoming week. Market participants are also paying attention to a key meeting of China's leadership
