Disruption in the NYSE Causes Significant Losses

 

Stability in Gold Prices

Gold prices slightly declined in Tuesday’s Asian trading session but remained stable after some gains in the previous session.
This improvement is attributed to signs of a slowing US economy,
which boosts expectations of interest rate cuts and puts pressure on the dollar,
bringing it to its lowest level in two months.
However, gold prices are still significantly below the record levels achieved in May.
Upcoming labor market data later this week is expected to provide more
signals on the trajectory of US interest rates, impacting gold prices.

 

Decline in Oil Prices

Oil prices fell in Tuesday’s Asian trading session, continuing the losses from
the previous session when they dropped to their lowest levels in four months.
This decline is due to investor concerns about increased supply
later in the year and cautious demand outlooks from major consumers in the United States.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange,
crude oil futures for July were trading at $73.72 per barrel at the time of writing, down 0.67%.
