Nikkei
Asian stocks rose on Monday as hopes of more stimulus from central banks around the world and steps being taken by major economies such as Germany and China soothed investors’ fears of a sharp global economic slump. Nikkei is currently trading at 20,561, up 142.31 points by 0.70%.
Precious Metals
Gold ended lower on Friday, distancing itself from the more-than six-year high it settled at a day earlier, but the metal’s investment haven appeal contributed to a third weekly climb in a row.
Base Metals
The three-month price of nickel on the London Metal Exchange remained elevated at the close of trading on Friday August 16, retaining gains made at Thursday’s close above the $16,000 per tonne support level, while a weak LME tin price could see the two prices converge.
Crude Oil
Crude oil prices rose on Monday following a weekend attack on a Saudi oil facility by Yemeni separatists, although price gains were capped by an unusually downbeat OPEC report that stoked concerns about demand growth. |
