It was another record-breaking day in financial markets yesterday as US indices and precious metals again notched up fresh all-time highs. The S&P notched up another record close and Silver joined in the party in precious metals as it joined Gold in hitting a new high.
US data came in stronger than expected and stocks and treasuries rallied whilst it helped the dollar ease another downward trend. Oil prices fell as OPEC+ confirmed it will go ahead with a planned output hike and Gold topped out at $2,685.42.
With products continuing to hit record levels, traders are expecting another busy day to close out the week today. There is more data scheduled to hit the markets across all three of the trading sessions today including the Fed’s favoured inflation metric, the Core PCE Price Index early in the New York time zone.
