Commodities Snapshot
Gold prices surged on safe-haven demand and a weaker dollar following Moody’s downgrade of US sovereign credit. While spot gold rose 0.9% to $3,229.51/oz, US Gold Futures climbed 1.5% to $3,233.50/oz.
In energy markets, oil edged higher amid stalled U.S.-Iran nuclear talks, offsetting broader macro uncertainty. Brent crude was 0.2% to $65.54/barrel and WTI Crude gained 0.32% to $62.69/barrel.
Market Outlook
With global cues supportive and ongoing central bank easing in Asia, sentiment remains cautiously optimistic. However, movement in mid and small-cap segments suggests selective profit-booking. The rupee’s stability, healthy FII inflows, and strong earnings momentum could provide near-term support to Indian equities.
