NEW: US-Iran diplomatic efforts ease oil supply fears ahead of a crucial week for global markets
Reports of Qatari mediation between Washington and Tehran have pushed oil prices lower, offering some relief after another week of escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Oil: Brent crude fell nearly 2% to around $114.50 per barrel on Monday morning, after gaining 6.2% last week. However, renewed Houthi claims of attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure continue to raise supply concerns.
Stocks: S&P 500 futures gained 0.2% ahead of Wall Street’s opening. Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon are due to report earnings this week, putting AI investment spending and profitability back in focus.
Gold & Silver: Gold recovered above $4,000 per ounce, gaining 0.5%, while silver edged higher to approximately $53.99. Lower oil prices eased some inflation concerns, although expectations of further Federal Reserve rate increases continue to limit the recovery.
Crypto: Bitcoin traded near $80,000 and Ethereum around $2,327 as investors awaited Wednesday’s Federal Reserve decision and Thursday’s US inflation data.
