Gold futures fell on Wednesday for a second straight session, pressured on the heels of some strength in the U.S. dollar, even as concerns over the economic hit from COVID-19 remain. "It would appear that gold needs a clear sign of a pandemic and clear signs of severe global slowing to ignite a return of aggressive investment buying," said analysts at Zaner Metals, in a daily note. "The trade could be fearful about the potential for a sustained setback in Chinese physical gold...

"Gold prices are always sensitive to the outlook for interest rates, but it's rarely been more strongly correlated against bond yields than it is right now," said Adrian Ash, director of research at BullionVault. "So while the plunge in the stock market should keep driving gold higher, any pullback in these surging bond prices is also going to hit gold short-term," he said. Bond prices move in the...

More cases were reported in countries other than China in the past 24 hours for the first time, the World Health Organization said, with new infections in nations from Pakistan to Brazil. President Donald Trump assured Americans that they face little risk, although...

Oil futures declined on Tuesday for a second consecutive session, marking the lowest settlement so far this month and sending U.S. prices below their 50-day moving average.
Expectations for a fourth consecutive weekly rise in U.S. crude supplies and a report from Reuters that said major oil exporter Russia wasn't likely to advocate for deeper cuts during a key meeting of major oil producers in December pressured prices for oil.
West Texas Intermediate crude for December delivery lost $1.84, or 3.2%, to settle at $55.21 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract, which expires at Wednesday™s settlement, ended Tuesday below its 50-day moving average of $55.59, according to FactSet data.
January Brent crude lost $1.53, or 2.5%, to $60.91 a barrel on ICE Futures Europe, following its 1.4% skid, a day ago. Both crude benchmark marked the lowest front-month contract settlements since Oct. 31, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
