WTI/Brent: WTI Mar'25 +0.1% / Brent Apr'26 +0.1%
- Oil futures are rangebound and take a breather following Friday's rally, with price action contained following reports of constructive trilateral talks between the US, Ukraine and Russia, while Libya signed a deal with TotalEnergies (TTE FP) and ConocoPhillips (COP) to more than double the production capacity of their Waha Oil venture. Conversely, natural gas futures surged around 16%, owing to the US winter storm, which had cut power to more than 230,000 customers as far west as Texas and prompted thousands of flight cancellations.
Gold: +1.7%
- Climbed to a fresh record high after breaching the USD 5,000/oz level for the first time in history, amid a weaker dollar and a rally in silver, which surged to above USD 108/oz.
Copper: +0.2%
- Remains afloat and holds on to last Friday's spoils but with further upside capped amid the mostly downbeat risk tone in Asia.
Concurrently, natural gas futures are spiking due to significant winter storms impacting supply and power across the U.S., reflecting the volatility in energy markets. Investors should closely monitor these developments, as they may influence broader inflationary pressures and risk sentiment across commodities.
