WTI 🔽
Yesterday's US economic data indicated an increase in industrial production and crude oil inventories, cheering the greenback while sending WTI oil futures to slide from $96.23 to $90.66 and stabilize. The addition of 4.467 million barrels of crude oil and OPEC slightly boosting production have relieved oil prices to a six-month low.
Oil bears have also sent the loonie on a downwards trajectory, USD/CAD closed at 1.2838 with a high of 1.2883. Later tonight, the US Initial Jobless Claims readings will update the US labor market later tonight. Meanwhile, economic data in Europe slightly missed market estimates, after rebounding from 1.0127, EUR/USD reached a closing price of 1.0169 with negligible gains.
The Bank of England is likely to announce another rate hike, market bets mostly spread between 25 and 50 bps, noticeably lower than those of the Federal Reserve. The British Pound last traded at 1.2143 against the US dollar, and the AUD/USD increased slowly to 0.6943.
Gold futures experienced some oscillations, and rose to $1,776.4 an ounce.
