Saudi Arabia’s announcement of plans for further cut in crude oil output that followed Friday’s strong jobs data from the U.S. renewed rate hike fears ahead of the review by the Fed next week. Markets meanwhile welcomed President Joe Biden officially signing into a law, the bill raising the country’s debt ceiling.
European benchmarks are trading mixed. Wall Street Futures are trading in mildly positive territory. Asian stocks finished trading on a positive note.
Dollar continued to gain amidst fears of the Fed persisting with its hawkish stance. Strong U.S. jobs data and the surge in crude oil prices triggered a hardening in bond yields. Crude oil prices rebounded following Saudi Arabia’s plans to cut production by a further 1 million barrels per day (bpd) from July. Gold declined amidst the Dollar’s strength. Cryptocurrencies declined.
