OIL SUPPLY RISKS & AI VALUATIONS SHAKE MARKETS
- Oil: Brent remains above $100 as attacks on Gulf shipping and disruptions to U.S. Gulf of Mexico production keep supply risks elevated. Trump’s pledge to avoid an attack on Iran before the midterm elections has done little to remove uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz.
- Equities: Technology shares face renewed pressure as concerns over OpenAI’s revenue outlook and the massive funding required for AI infrastructure raise questions about valuations and future returns. The Nasdaq fell 1.25% on Thursday, underperforming the broader U.S. market.
- Gold & Silver: Gold rebounded more than 1% toward $4,180 as the dollar weakened and Treasury yields eased. Silver gained around 1.4%, although both metals remain on track for weekly losses amid lingering inflation and Fed policy concerns.
- Copper, Platinum & Palladium: Copper remains caught between tight mine supply and macroeconomic headwinds, with labor disputes at major Chilean mines supporting supply concerns. Platinum and palladium rebounded on Friday but remain vulnerable to shifts in broader market sentiment.
