Oil Slides Below $100 as Gold Climbs Above $4,100 an Ounce
Bloomberg, CNBC and WSJ report oil fell on Iran and diplomacy news, easing inflation worries while gold rose and US stocks gained.
What happened
Oil prices fell and stayed below $100, according to The Wall Street Journal, after President Trump downplayed the prospect of new strikes on Iran. The Journal later reported that oil futures sold off on diplomatic progress in the Middle East.
Gold moved higher as crude weakened. CNBC reports that the metal gained more than 1% as softer oil prices eased inflation worries. The WSJ says gold recovered the $4,000 level and later rose above $4,100 an ounce, with attention on U.S. inflation data.
Bloomberg reports that US stocks rose as the drop in oil outweighed concerns tied to Nvidia.
Context
Oil prices often influence inflation expectations, and gold is commonly watched as investors weigh inflation and geopolitical developments.
Why it matters
Lower oil and firmer gold show how Middle East headlines and inflation expectations can move several markets at once.
