Oil prices reached new highs on Tuesday following the EU announcement, with benchmark Brent crude rising 1.3% to $ 123.25 a barrel after earlier rising to $ 124.64 – its highest since March 9. read more <\/p>\n
US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude was trading at $ 117.12 a barrel, up 1.78% in a fourth consecutive session of gains.<\/p>\n
“Energy is the input cost for basically everything and high oil prices is bad for inflation,” said Thomas Hayes, managing member at Great Hill Capital.<\/p>\n
The MSCI world equity index (.MIWD00000PUS), which tracks shares in 50 countries, was down 0.19%. The pan-European STOXX 600 index fell 0.72%.<\/p>\n
US Treasury yields rose, with most maturities hitting one-week highs, as inflation concerns dominated trading after euro zone inflation climbed to a record high this month.<\/p>\n
Treasury yields also rose, driven in part by hawkish comments from Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller on Monday. Waller said he is advocating to keep 50-basis-point rate hikes on the table until substantial reductions are seen in inflation, winding back expectations that the Fed might pause for breath after hikes in June and July. read more <\/p>\n
Benchmark 10-year yields gained to 2.8423%.<\/p>\n
“The market needed to consolidate some pretty aggressive gains from last week that was a big move off the lows and Waller gave them the reason to do it,” Hayes added.<\/p>\n
On Wall Street, the S&P 500 and the Dow were trading lower led by healthcare, industrial and technology sectors. The Nasdaq mad gains after reversing earlier session losses.<\/p>\n
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI) 0.26% to 33,126.64 and the S&P 500 (.SPX) lost 0.16% to 4,151.68. The Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC) added 0.13% to 12,146.85.<\/p>\n
The US dollar rose across the board as Treasury yields climbed and worries over a further acceleration in global inflation kept investors’ risk appetite at bay. read more <\/p>\n
The dollar index, which tracks the greenback against six major currencies, was up 0.316% to 101.740. The Euro was down 0.45% to $ 1.0728.<\/p>\n
Safe-haven gold fell and was headed for a second consecutive month of declines, pressured by a rise in the dollar and US Treasury yields that dented the metal’s appeal despite concerns over surging inflation.<\/p>\n
Spot gold dropped 0.6% to $ 1,845.18 an ounce. US gold futures fell 0.51% to $ 1,841.90 an ounce.<\/p>\n
