Investors are awaiting the details about what could emerge from China`s Central Economic Work Conference in Beijing- HDFC Securities
GLOBAL MARKET ROUND UP
Gold held a four-day advance after a key US inflation report supported expectations for another interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve when policymakers meet next week. US consumer prices rose at a firm pace in November that was in line with expectations. The report bolstered bets on a 25-basis-point reduction at the Fed’s final meeting of the year, with swaps traders now virtually pricing in the move.
A fall in US crude oil inventories and the potential for additional US sanctions on Russia's and Iran's energy sectors drove the surge in crude oil for the third day in a row on Wednesday. Stockpiles at Cushing, Oklahoma, the delivery point for US crude futures, plunged by the most since early September after a 1.3-million-barrel drawdown.
Meanwhile, OPEC again cut its projections for global demand growth this year and next in its monthly report, ahead of a market outlook by the International Energy Agency later on Thursday.
Natural gas on Wednesday rallied sharply to a 2-week high after forecasts turned colder for the eastern half of the US for late December, signaling increased heating demand for natural gas.
Copper and other base metals declined on Wednesday in the absence of fresh cues and a report that China will consider allowing the Chinese currency to weaken next year. Investors are awaiting the details about what could emerge from China’s Central Economic Work Conference in Beijing, a two-day gathering to flesh out policies for 2025 that started Wednesday.
