The oil market reacted to Russia's announcement of supplying 300,000 tons of diesel to the U.S. And global markets, while attacks in Ukraine continued. According to Newscord, Russian attacks on the city of Zaporizhzhia in southern Ukraine killed at least eight people, including three children.
Chris Gaffney, President of Global Markets at EverBank, noted that gold's decline on Wednesday was primarily attributed to interest rates, as May U.S. CPI data reinforced market expectations for rate hikes.
Despite geopolitical concerns and gold's traditional safe-haven status, it has acted as a liquid asset, easily sold during market volatility. Gold is a non-yielding asset; when interest rates rise, the opportunity cost of holding gold increases, thus dampening the market's incentive to increase gold holdings.
The Federal Reserve's potential rate hike this year, as indicated by options market data, has further impacted the gold market. The U.S. Treasury suspended sanctions on Russian diesel until April 7, allowing for the supply of diesel to the U.S. And global markets.
According to Newscord, Putin later said Russia was willing to supply oil and petroleum products to the U.S. Market and global markets. An envoy for Putin, Kirill Dmitriev, welcomed the deal by writing, “Russia-US co-operation on diesel and energy will benefit the world.”
