Oil higher, gold skyrockets
Oil Crude prices were heavy early as concerns grew over China’s COVID situation. ​ Energy traders were quick to jump back on the oil trade after a cool inflation report brought hopes back to life that the US economy could still have a soft landing. ​ The inflation report showed fuel oil prices surged 19.8% before the cold weather arrives. ​ The oil market is going to remain very tight this winter and that should keep oil prices heading higher. ​ Gold surges as US inflation dips Gold prices are s

Hope fades ahead of CPI data
We're seeing some risk aversion in financial markets on Thursday as we await inflation data from the US later in the week. It probably won't come as a surprise to many that we're seeing stock markets in the red considering how well they've performed in recent days and weeks. It would appear we've seen a lot of buying on the hope of a Fed pivot and some weaker inflation and labour market figures. Well, the Fed kind of pivoted but indicated that the terminal rate may be higher.

Oil slips, gold eyes inflation data
Oil slides amid Chinese Covid restrictions Oil prices fell again on Wednesday, taking losses over the last couple of days to more than 5%. Brent and WTI are basically flat on the day at the time of writing, settling towards the lower end of their recent trading ranges. While the narrative in recent weeks has focused on the potential for Chinese Covid restrictions to be relaxed, which has driven Chinese equities higher and lifted oil prices, the reality has seen case numbers soaring, restrictions

Stocks ease as US midterm results filter in
Equity markets are mixed on Wednesday as investors continue to watch events unfold in the US for a sense of what impact they'll have on sentiment. The impact of the midterms will probably be short-lived, if impactful at all, as far as markets are concerned. Of course, the political implications may be significant if Democrats can manage to retain control of the House and Senate but at this stage, only one of those looks plausible which means deadlock in Washington. The bigger takeaway from the e

Oil edges lower, gold jumps higher
Oil eases amid a surge in inventories Oil prices are a little lower again on Wednesday after falling around 3% a day earlier. This came following a strong move in recent weeks in which crude prices rallied around 20% on the back of the OPEC+ output cut and the prospect of less restrictive Covid measures in China, which have not been confirmed. The API inventory data came late in the day on Tuesday after the bulk of the losses had already occurred.

Oil lower on China concerns, gold pops
Oil edges lower  Crude prices edged lower after as China continues to struggle with COVID. Bets that China will reopen soon are losing momentum as cases jumped in Guangzhou and other key Chinese cities. ​ Brent crude is still close to the $100 a barrel level for now and it seems short-term risks to supplies have traders looking for a bullish move higher. ​ Gold powers higher Gold had a great day as the dollar tumbled ahead of the midterm elections and a pivotal inflation report.

Caution ahead of midterms and inflation data
A cautious start to trading on Tuesday, with investors seemingly having one eye on midterm results in the US and another on Thursday's inflation data. It's hard to see past both of these things this week. The question for many is whether investors will respond positively to the deadlock in Washington.

Oil prices ease, gold eyes inflation
Oil pares gains as China Covid cases jump Oil prices are easing a little on Tuesday, a day after Brent crude came within a whisker of $100 again. It's traded below this major psychological level since July but recent developments have propelled the price higher again, up more than 20% from the September lows. OPEC+ had a big hand to play in that but speculation around China's zero-Covid commitment may also be a factor in recent gains.
