Decline in equity bothering commodity market

Here are all the latest updates for you from the commodity space:

The decline in equities seems to be bothering commodity as an asset class as well. This has affected crude oil prices as they slipped on global cues.

The Chinese Iron ore market hit a four-month low on Monday falling by over 4% as high inventory levels and a weak domestic steel market weighed on prices.

A broad weakness in US Dollar is also expected.

Commodities stable as US inflation stands at 0.2%

The US consumer inflation numbers that came out on Tuesday seem to be having an impact on the commodities today. Consumer inflation in the US stood at 0.2% which could be the reason behind decline in USD leading to surge in Gold price in India.

There was stability in buying, especially in the metal space. Shanghai metal had seen a fall for the last few sessions which has witnessed 1 to 2 percent gains today. Iron ore prices seem to be recovering today after a decline for 8 days, the longest losing streak since July 2015. Apart from these, crude oil prices were seen stable after two days of decline.
