Level 1
- Spot XAU trades choppy but managing to hold onto modest gains as the yellow metal sits above USD 4450/oz. After dipping to a trough of USD 4428/oz early in the APAC session, XAU extended on Monday's gains to peak at USD 4476/oz as European traders entered the market. Thus far, the yellow metal is trading in a tight USD 26/oz band above USD 4450/oz.
- 3M LME Copper continued its bid to new ATHs throughout the Asia-Pac session, following the risk-on tone in Asian equities. The red metal opened at USD 13.1k/t and immediately bid higher, peaking at USD 13.39k/t as the European session gets underway. As equities started to pull back, led by Nikkei 225 futures, following the imposition of export controls on dual-use items to Japan by China, 3M LME Copper has started to fall lower and is currently trading at USD 13.24k/t.
