GLOBAL MARKET ROUND UP

Gold hits a new all-time high buoyed by a weaker dollar and concerns over President Trump's tariff measures. Spot gold surged as much as 1.28% to $2,798.59 an ounce on Thursday, surpassing its previous all-time high set in October. Uncertainty around US President Donald Trump's policy causes a new leg down in US Treasury yields, which helps gold prices continue their northward journey. Furthermore, investors are still anxious about the economic consequences of Trump's trade tariffs and protectionist policies, which support the safe-haven precious metal

Crude oil recovered from a low and settled higher on Thursday as a short-covering rally was seen after US President Donald Trump reiterated plans to impose tariffs against Canada and Mexico starting Saturday, although crude flows may be exempt from the levies

Natural gas dropped more than 13.0% on Thursday due to forecasts for warmer US weather, which curbs heating demand for natural gas. Natural gas retreated Thursday despite a bullish weekly inventory report. The EIA reported that natural gas inventories fell by -321 bcf for the week ended January 24— more than expectations of -316 bcf and a much larger draw than the five-year average for this time of year of -189 bcf.

Copper and other industrial metals consolidated in range, and the market focused on the consequences of tariffs that US President Donald Trump has pledged to impose on imports of metals like copper, aluminum, and steel. The measures risk raising costs for American manufacturers as well as dampening global growth. China's absence for the Lunar New Year holiday subdued overall trading volume.
