What Global and Domestic Factors Are Driving Markets Today?
🌐 Global & Macro Factors
- US Government Shutdown Concerns: Persistent uncertainty in Washington is dampening risk appetite, affecting global equity sentiment.
- Gold & Silver: Both metals are hitting new all-time highs, reflecting strong safe-haven demand amid rising geopolitical risks.
- Crude Oil: Prices have dropped to a six-month low, weighed down by weak demand expectations and US-China trade friction impacting commodity flows.
Global risk sentiment remains fragile as investors weigh monetary policy clarity against fiscal uncertainty in major economies. Gold’s strength and oil’s weakness highlight diverging global inflation expectations.
