Oil Futures Edge Higher, Supported by Middle East Tensions

0010 GMT — Oil futures edge higher in early Asian trade, supported by Middle East tensions. Israel's military on Monday conducted airstrikes against targets in Yemen, a day after the Houthi rebel group launched a ballistic missile that struck near Israel's main airport. 'This escalation coincides with stalled U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations,' Samer Hasn says in an email. 'Any further escalation could threaten oil infrastructure across the region and disrupt global shipping routes on a broader scale,' the senior market analyst adds. Front-month WTI crude oil futures are 0.1% higher at $57.20/bbl; front-month Brent crude oil futures edge 0.2% higher to $60.33/bbl. (

Gold Edges Lower as Traders Assess Mixed Signals

2347 GMT — Gold edges lower in the early Asian session as traders assess mixed signals from Treasury Secretary Bessent on Monday. Bessent said in an interview on CNBC that it's 'up to China' to de-escalate trade tensions with the U.S. At the same time, Bessent also suggested the U.S. will probably strike an early trade deal with India. 'However, gold remains a haven for investors during times of economic uncertainty, suggesting that this decline may be temporary,' Rania Gule says in an email. President Trump's announcement in April of broad tariffs boosted worries over slowdown in U.S. economic growth, which could increase demand for gold, the senior market analyst adds. Spot gold is 0.2% lower at $3,337.64/oz. (

Gold Edges Higher as Global Trade War Prospects Grow

2349 GMT — Gold edges higher in the early Asian session. EU and Canada unveiled retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. on Wednesday, further increasing prospects of a global trade war after the U.S. imposed levies on global steel and aluminum imports. Such prospects could enhance the safe-haven appeal of the precious metal. There's uncertainty over the impact of tariffs on the U.S. economy amid talk of a recession, Samer Hasn says in an email. Market turmoil has also deepened due to President Trump's repeated 'start-and-stop' over tariffs, Hasn adds. Spot gold is 0.1% higher at $2,937.82/oz. (
