Oil prices march higher as traders look to Trump's India-Russia tussle
Oil (BZ=F, CL=F) Oil prices were set to be volatile on Thursday, having already endured a selloff on Wednesday, as traders look to the latest signals emerging from US president Donald Trump's tariff wars. On Wednesday, Trump upped the US tariffs on India to 50% in retaliation for its purchases of Russian oil. The new import tax will go into effect 21 days after 7 August, he said. India has largely refused to stop buying Russian oil due to the fact it's difficult to find a substitute. It buys around 2 million barrels a day, according to Financial Times reporting. The country's officials responded by calling the threat 'unjustified' and reaffirmed its commitment to protecting its economic interests. Trump wants to put economic pressure on Russia to end the Ukraine war — moves which sent the black commodity to an eight-week low in Wednesday's session. Read more: UK house prices rise by more than £1,000 in July Brent crude futures (BZ=F) traded at around $66.31 a barrel on Thursday, about 0.7% higher than the previous session. West Texas Intermediate (CL=F) prices also rose around 0.7% to $64.81 a barrel. Prices earlier in the week had been sensitive to considerations about Opec+ output targets. The cartel made moves to hike output by 547,000 barrels per day (bpd) in September. The increases add to oversupply concerns surrounding the US's oil consumption. The production increase marks the full and early reversal of Opec+'s most significant supply cuts, which had been implemented to support prices during the pandemic. It also includes a separate boost for the United Arab Emirates (UAE), raising total output by about 2.5 million bpd, roughly 2.4% of global oil demand. Opec+ justified the move by citing a resilient global economy and low stockpiles. There are worries that the group will increase supply again after September, with discussions about unwinding a further 1.65 million bpd of cuts at the group's next meeting on 7 September ratcheting up tensions. Gold (GC=F) Gold (GC=F) prices ticked higher on Thursday, gaining as traders flock to safe haven assets in the face of more tariff grandstanding by Trump. Futures contracts for the yellow metal were 0.6% higher as markets opened in London, heading to the $3,455.50 mark. The Spot price of gold also rose 0.6% to $3,388. Trump announced plans to slap a 100% tariff on semiconductor chips made outside of the US. He said he would make an exemption for companies such as Apple (AAPL), which pledged on Wednesday to move some of its manufacturing operations back to the US. Apple revealed plans to invest an additional $100bn in US manufacturing commitments during a press event at the White House with Trump on Wednesday. Gold futures prices are up nearly 21% over the past six months. Pound, euro, dollar (GBPUSD=X, GBPEUR=X, The pound ticked higher on Thursday, ahead of a Bank of England (BoE) interest rate meeting that is expected to result in a 25 basis point interest rate cut, announced at noon in London. Sterling rose 0.1% against the dollar to trade just below the $1.34 mark. City traders are pricing in an 80% probability that the nine-member committee will reduce the Bank Rate from 4.25% to 4% on Thursday, returning borrowing costs to levels last seen in March 2023. Financial markets have anticipated the move for some time, and they have also factored in at least one more cut this year, likely in November. Stocks: Create your watchlist and portfolio Yet with inflation still running well above the Bank's 2% target and signs of labour market weakness emerging, the debate inside the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is likely to be contentious. 'The MPC faces a difficult task, as it will need to balance the weakening in the jobs market and the economy on the one hand, with rising inflation on the other," said Matthew Ryan, head of market strategy at global financial services firm Ebury. 'We are pencilling in a 7-2 vote, with the majority set to vote for a 25bp cut, while a couple of the hawks (likely Mann and Pill), could opt in favour of no change. 'We would not be surprised, however, if Dhingra and possibly Taylor voted for a 50bp cut. Aside from the voting pattern, it will be interesting to see what the BoE does with its forward guidance this week."

Investor Caution Deepens in India as Trump Turns Up Tariff Pain
Before the trading day starts we bring you a digest of the key news and events that are likely to move markets. Today we look at: Good morning, this is Alex Gabriel Simon, an equities reporter in Mumbai. You'd expect investors in India to be rattled by President Donald Trump's move to double tariffs on the country to 50%. But Nifty futures and the offshore rupee aren't reflecting any of that tension, for now. Traders are perhaps betting that the 21-day window before the new tariffs kick in could give India just enough time to negotiate or even get the decision rolled back. That said, the souring of ties with the largest trade partner — especially at a time when India's growth is slowing — will likely keep equity buyers on the sidelines. Apart from trade tensions, investor attention will also be on top consumer names Titan and Godrej Consumer as they report first-quarter earnings later in the day.
