Nikkei
Asian share markets started trading early in the morning on Monday on a positive note as the investors will be closely watching the US markets. Nikkei is currently trading at 16,704, up 150.86 points by 0.91%.
Precious Metals
Gold futures rose Friday, finding support after indiscriminate selling across financial markets weighed even on some traditional havens, sending prices for the precious metal lower for the week.
Base Metals
The copper price closed below $5,000 per tonne on the London Metal Exchange, having traded no higher than $4,938 per tonne earlier on Friday March 20.
Crude Oil
Oil settled sharply lower on Friday, with U.S. prices down 29% for the week—the largest weekly loss since 1991—as economic stimulus plans from government and central banks fail to offset expectations for steep fall in demand due to coronavirus pandemic, and as Saudi Arabia and Russia oversupply the market.. |
