GLOBAL MARKETS
Asian markets have reached a one-month high, mirroring the gains seen in Wall Street, buoyed by expectations that the Federal Reserve may signal a potential rate cut soon. With a lack of significant economic data releases this week, attention has shifted to the Fed’s upcoming minutes from the July policy meeting and Chairman Jerome Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole on Friday. Expectations of a rate cut have pushed gold prices to a record high of over $2,500 per ounce, while the dollar index has fallen to 101.76, its lowest level in over seven months.
Oil Prices Drop Again
Oil prices have fallen for the fourth time in the last five trading sessions, driven by ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas and efforts led by the U.S. to broker a ceasefire. Brent crude has dipped below $80 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate is around $76. Recent adverse weather and signs of slowing growth in China, the largest oil importer, have compounded the drop. Additionally, China’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions in the transport sector have reduced some fuel demand. Meanwhile, Israel and Hamas have accused each other of obstructing a ceasefire and the release of hostages. A senior U.S. diplomat has traveled to Tel Aviv to facilitate an agreement.
