• S&P 500 futures up 0.26%
• Euro Stoxx 50 down 0.24%

US Market Wrap

Stocks climbed to within reach of a record high after the latest inflation data came in line with expectations, helping ease fears of near-term interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. The report provided some respite for Wall Street, which has been grappling with geopolitical uncertainties, as the S&P 500 extended its gains for August.

Persistent inflation above the Fed's target and widening fiscal deficits have kept long-term Treasury yields elevated. Investors are now eyeing Thursday's 30-year bond auction, which is set to be priced at the highest borrowing cost in 25 years. The sale follows a $42 billion auction of 10-year Treasuries that cleared at the highest yield since 2007, according to Bloomberg.

Asian Market Wrap

Asian equities climbed after a softer-than-expected US inflation reading eased fears of near-term Federal Reserve rate hikes. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index gained 0.6%, led by advances in Japan and South Korea. The upbeat sentiment followed a strong Wall Street session, where the S&P 500 edged closer to a record high and a rally in major chipmakers pushed the Nasdaq 100 to its highest level in a month, according to Bloomberg.

Commodity Check

Gold hit a two-month high as softer US inflation eased pressure on the Federal Reserve to raise rates. Bullion rose as much as 0.9% to near $4,450 an ounce, extending Wednesday's gains after data showed consumer prices climbed just 0.1% in July.

Spot gold climbed 0.5% to $4,429.70 an ounce at 8:56 a.m. in Singapore. Silver rose 1% to $65.94 an ounce, having gained 1% in the previous session. Platinum and palladium also advanced, as per Bloomberg.

Crude oil held on to the majority of gains made over the last six sessions amid uncertainty over the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Brent traded around $88 per barrel following a 12% increase across the previous six sessions, while West Texas Intermediate remained below $83. 

According to the International Energy Agency, the global oil market is heading for a shortfall of 1.8 million barrels per day this quarter, over twice its prior forecast, due to the ongoing US-Iran war.

Indian Stock Market Recap

Benchmark indices closed in red on Wednesday, August 12, with Nifty 50 ending 35.75 points, or 0.15%, lower at 24,435.95. The Sensex dropped 187.90 points, or 0.24%, to 77,966.35 as investors assessed conflicting signals over US-Iran war and efforts to restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
