WTI/Brent: WTI Jun'26 +0.4% / Brent Jun'26 0.3%
- Oil prices are marginally higher but well off today's best levels as an early aggressive move to the upside was faded shortly after, due to a lack of actual fresh drivers behind the initial move. Nonetheless, recent geopolitical headlines remain mixed, with US President Trump refuting reports that his ceasefire extension is just for 3-5 days, while there were reports of the US intercepting three Iranian oil tankers, and that Iran seized two ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
Gold: -0.2%
- Price action is choppy, and the precious metal briefly tested USD 4,700/oz to the downside with early pressure seen as oil prices climbed, but then rebounded as the moves in oil and the broader market faded.
Copper: -0.6%
- Pulled back after the prior day's firm gains and as the risk appetite in Asia dwindled.
The fading upside suggests that traders are cautious, weighing the implications of geopolitical tensions while seeking clearer signals for direction, which could impact sentiment across related markets like metals and equities.
