GLOBAL MARKET ROUND UP
Gold steadied after tumbling the most since August as traders pared bets on the pace of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.
On Monday, when Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank would lower rates “over time,” and re-emphasized that the economy remains on solid footing. His remarks pushed swaps traders to rein in bets for hefty rate cuts. Lower borrowing costs tend to benefit gold as it doesn’t pay interest.
Israel, meanwhile, said it had begun “ground raids” in southern Lebanon against Hezbollah. The attacks further expanded its campaign against the Iran-backed group after the killing of its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, on Friday.
Oil steadied at the start of the fourth quarter as geopolitical risks in the Middle East, with Israel beginning ground raids inside Lebanon, vied with the prospects of a return of Libyan supply.
Libya is preparing to restore production after its two rival governments reached a compromise, according to people familiar with the situation.
Copper and other metals edged up on the back of optimism over Chinese stimulus and more US rate cuts. Base metals and iron ore have rallied since Chinese authorities surprised investors with a major economic rescue package early last week.
Base metal is expected to consolidate amid the Chinese Golden Week holiday
