[BRIEFING.COM] Strength in commodities was largely based on the weakness in the dollar, which sold off on talks about additional quantitative easing. Precious metals (+2.8%), grains (+2.8%), and soft commodities (+1.9%) posted the best gains this session.
It was another record setting session for gold and silver, as the continuous gold contract rallied to a new all-time high at $1340.60 per ounce, while the continuous silver contract put in a fresh 30-year high at $22.92 per ounce. December gold rallied for 1.9% to finish at $1340.60 per ounce while December silver settled higher by 3.7% at $22.74 per ounce. Both metals traded to their best levels in the afternoon session and closed just shy of those highs.
Talk of more quantitative easing and the dollar’s resulting weakness combined with strength in equities to support oil throughout the session. November crude oil finished higher by 2.2% at $82.82 per barrel. Crude traded to highs at $82.99 per barrel, its best levels in about one month. November natural gas ended higher by 0.5% at $3.74 per MMBtu after it stumbled midmorning. |
