The commodities market today is driven by easing recession fears and US labour data. On Friday, the 10-year yield fell to 3.94%, the dollar index fell to 103.07, the Brent October contract closed at $79.66/barrel, while gold fell 0.1% to $2,422.99/ounce.
Treasury Yields Decline After Positive Labor Data: US Treasury yields fell on Friday, with the 10-year yield dropping by 6 basis points to 3.94%. This decline came as investors reassessed the economic outlook following positive labour data that boosted market sentiment.
Dollar Retreats After Volatile Week: The dollar pulled back from a one-week high against major currencies on Friday, with the dollar index dipping 0.203% to 103.07. This movement reflects a cautious market as traders weighed a drop in US jobless claims against concerns of a potential economic downturn.
Oil Prices Surge Amid Easing Recession Fears: US crude oil prices surged by over 4% last week, driven by reduced fears of a recession and rising concerns about a broader conflict in the Middle East that could disrupt production and transportation. Brent's October contract closed at $79.66 per barrel.
Gold Steady After Sharp Rise: Gold prices held steady on Friday, following a sharp increase the previous day. The stability in gold was supported by a dip in US Treasury yields, as investors grew more confident that the Federal Reserve might lower interest rates in September. Spot gold edged down 0.1% to $2,422.99 per ounce.
