The FOMC minutes and Russia-Ukraine peace talks in Saudi Arabia will shape market trends
this week. A positive outcome could boost risk assets while lowering gold and oil prices.
Weak U.S. retail sales and postponed tariffs weakened the dollar, increasing expectations of
Fed rate cuts in 2025. This helped U.S. stocks rise, with the S&P 500 nearing record highs.
Gold hit an all-time high due to safe-haven demand, while silver reached a three-month high.
Oil prices fell for the fourth week as fears of tougher sanctions eased and hopes for a Russia Ukraine peace deal grew.
Base metal prices fluctuated—copper neared a three-month high, and zinc and aluminium
rose due to supply concerns. However, trade tensions and China’s slowing economy kept
markets cautious. The upcoming FOMC minutes and Flash PMI will be key in shaping
economic expectations.
Until then, Happy Trading!
