WTI falls USD 0.70/bbl and spot gold dips ~USD 10/oz following the NBC report which suggested US President Trump told advisors to avoid a prolonged war.
What it means
The decline in WTI and gold prices suggests a market reaction to the report of President Trump advising against a prolonged war, which could ease geopolitical tensions and thus reduce demand for safe-haven assets like gold and crude oil. This sentiment may indicate investors are reassessing risk premiums associated with potential conflicts, impacting market dynamics and pricing across commodities.
