US Market
The Nasdaq and S&P 500 saw modest gains on Tuesday, ahead of major inflation data. However, financial stocks were weighed down as investors awaited major U.S. banks’ earnings reporting season on Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 0.02%, while the S&P 500 gained by 0.14 percent.
Asian Market
Asian markets fell as Japan’s corporate inflation rose in March, and central banks in New Zealand and Thailand are expected to raise interest rates.
Dollar
The yen was trading close to multi-decade lows on Tuesday, keeping traders on the lookout for any potential action from Japan to support its currency. Investors were cautious ahead of US inflation data, and the dollar was little changed on the day, moving in narrow ranges.
Gold Prices
Tuesday saw gold continue its record run, driven by geopolitical risks and buying momentum. In the meantime, attention was focused on the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting minutes and U.S. inflation data, which provided clues about the timing of potential rate cuts in the US.
Spot gold hit a record high of $2,365.09 and was up 0.1 percent at $2,341.85 an ounce. To $2,360.70, U.S. gold futures increased by 0.4 percent.
Crude
Tuesday saw a decline in oil prices for the second day in a row as negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza proceeded. However, losses were contained to less than $1 per barrel as Egyptian and Qatari mediators encountered opposition in their efforts to end the conflict.
