GLOBAL MARKET ROUND UP
* Gold fell to a two-week low as a better-than-estimated US economic report helped ease expectations that the Federal Reserve needs to cut interest rates soon to prevent a recession.
* In the second quarter, US growth accelerated by more than forecast, demonstrating that demand is holding up under the weight of higher borrowing costs. US GDP increased at a 2.8% annualized rate after rising 1.4% in the previous period, the government’s initial estimate showed.
* Crude oil prices rose as an equity market rally carried futures prices out of an earlier slump. Still, there are concerns about energy consumption in China, the world’s largest oil importer. A slowdown in growth, a lack of major stimulus initiatives, and higher electric-vehicle usage are crimping demand expectations.
* Natural gas prices declined for the third day in a row, as the 22 BCF gain in stockpiles for last week exceeded most predictions.
* Copper steadied to head toward a third weekly decline as an industrial metals’ selloff eased, with investors searching for signs demand may recover. The LME Copper experienced an 18% decline from its May record due to concerns about global demand, particularly from China, the world's largest metals consumer.
* On the macro front, today's US personal consumption expenditures data is likely to reveal easing pricing pressures, which may prompt traders to increase bets on rate reductions.
