Here is a snapshot of the global markets across stocks, currencies, bonds, commodities and cryptocurrencies.
Surging oil prices and firming up bond yields kept risk-on sentiment at check at global equity markets. Earnings updates as well as the crucial non-farm payrolls data due from the U.S. kept sentiment subdued. Asian stocks mostly gained. European stocks are moving downwards. American stock futures too are in negative territory. Dollar Index retreated. Bond yields surged in Europe but eased in the U.S. Supply concerns exacerbated by stormy weather in the U.S. and geopolitical tensions pushed oil prices still higher. Gold surged amidst the Dollar’s decline. Cryptocurrencies recovered.
