GLOBAL MARKET ROUND UP
Gold steadied in the Asian trading hours on Tuesday, after hitting a record high in the previous session, as traders digested differing views from Federal Reserve officials on the path forward for US interest rates.
Fed Bank of Kansas City President Jeffrey Schmid said he favors a slower pace of reductions, while his San Francisco counterpart Mary Daly reiterated her view on the need to deploy additional cuts to guard against labor market deterioration.
Meanwhile, the dollar index was up about 0.5% and touched the highest since early August.
Crude oil gained on Monday as traders tracked the risk to supplies from Middle East tensions and improved market sentiment after China took further steps to bolster its economy.
Natural gas on Monday recovered from a 6-week nearest-future low and settled moderately higher. Forecasters predict a cooler temperature for much of the US from October 26–20, leading to a rise in natural gas demand for heating.
Industrial metals declined as the dollar pushed higher, with traders digesting news that Chinese banks cut their benchmark lending rates as part of Beijing’s push to ensure its economy meets growth targets for this year. Copper and zinc advanced earlier after reductions in two key rates at Chinese banks, but both retreated from the day's high and closed lower.
Asian equities declined for a second day as traders considered cooling expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts for the rest of the year
