Commodity Updates:
Commodity markets are trading mixed, with clear divergence across sectors. Gold is slightly lower, with futures and XAU/USD easing modestly, reflecting short-term profit-taking and softer safe-haven demand. In contrast, silver is the standout performer, rallying nearly 5% as strong industrial and speculative demand drives momentum. Copper is modestly higher, signaling stable industrial demand and a cautiously constructive economic outlook. Energy markets are broadly positive, with both WTI and Brent crude gaining over 0.8%, supported by improved demand sentiment or tightening supply conditions. Natural gas is also firmer, rising close to 2%, likely due to short-term supply dynamics or seasonal demand. Overall, silver and energy lead gains, while gold lags.
