Crude Erases Gains
OIL
Crude markets have relinquished their earlier gains on the day to be trading lower, with pressure likely due to a jump in the strength of the US dollar.
- Brent JUL 24 down 0.2% at 84.05$/bbl
- WTI JUL 24 down 0.2% at 79.68$/bbl
- However, crude remains within yesterday’s range and is up around 2.7%, with sentiment overall remaining supportive ahead of an expected rollover in OPEC+ output cuts.
- USD: The extension lower for major equity indices and higher long-end treasury yields continue to underpin the greenback bid on Wednesday. With risk sentiment notably dented, emerging market currencies are notably feeling the pinch.
