Global News

▪ Global markets were volatile, with Asia rallying on optimism over a planned Trump–Xi Jinping meeting, raising hopes for US-China trade détente and lifting regional indices. European stocks were steadier, supported by resilient Eurozone activity, but investors remained cautious ahead of key US inflation data. US market sentiment was weighed by concerns over regional banks and credit risk.

▪ Crude oil prices ended lower at $63.31 a barrel, registering over 3% weekly decline due to new US sanctions on Russia and a forecasted global surplus, alongside muted demand from China.

▪ Gold reversed its rally, falling below $4,100 an ounce on profit booking and a stronger US dollar, ending a nine-week winning streak. The reversal reflected shifting risk sentiment as traders watched for US inflation signals and balanced geopolitical uncertainties.
