Editors’ Picks
Gold trims losses, back below $5,400
Gold now surrenders part of the earlier advance past the $5,400 mark per troy ounce at the beginning of the week. Indeed, the precious metal’s strong uptick remains fuelled by increasing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East amid the intense demand for safer assets.
Oil eases from tops, back to around $71.00/bbl
Crude oil prices are now giving away some gains after the initial 12% advance, with WTI hovering just above the $71.00 mark per barrel, its strongest levels since June. The jump in prices comes as markets continue to react to heightened geopolitical risk after US and Israeli military strikes on Iran and the effective shutdown of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

EUR/USD is coming under heavy selling pressure in what has been a rather grim start to the new trading week, with the pair now trading close to the 1.1700 support area as the US Dollar stages a solid rebound. The prevailing flight to safety mood continues to favour the Greenback, as investors react to the escalating conflict in the Middle East and trim risk exposure across the board.
