BULLION:-
The price of gold was
flat as Friday’s upbeat jobs
report increased expectations of a Fed rate hike in September.
Expectations of higher interest rates tend to boost the dollar by making the
currency more attractive to yield-seeking investors. Higher rates are a
negative for gold as the precious metal, which does not pay interest, struggles
to compete with yield-bearing assets when rates rise. Trade tensions with China
continued, as U.S. President Donald Trump warned he would impose tariffs on
$267 billion worth of Chinese imports, on top of an earlier promise of tariffs
on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods. Trade worry and rate hike expectations
have pushed the greenback near a one-year high, which weighed on gold.
The U.S. dollar
index, which measures the greenback’s strength against a basket
of six major currencies, rose 0.21% to 94.84.Gold usually falls as the dollar
rises, as it is denominated in the U.S. currency and is sensitive to moves in
the dollar. Bullion becomes more expensive for holders of other currencies when
the dollar rises and cheaper when it falls.
ENREGY:-
Oil prices rose on Monday as U.S. drilling
stalled and as investors anticipated lower supply once new U.S. sanctions
against Iran's crude exports kick in from November. Benchmark Brent crude
oil rose $1.09 a barrel, or 1.4 percent, to a high of $77.92 and was
trading at $77.85 by 0900 GMT. U.S. light crude was 70 cents higher at
$68.45.
U.S. drillers cut two oil rigs last week, bringing the total count to 860,
Baker Hughes said on Friday. The number of rigs drilling for oil in the United
States has stalled since May, reflecting increases in well productivity but
also bottlenecks and infrastructure constraints. the United States, Iranian
crude oil exports are declining ahead of a November deadline for the
implementation of new U.S. sanctions.
