Oil and Bonds fell as investors temper middle east hedges – Daily Market Update – Equity 30 Oct 2023

Oil slipped with gold and government bonds as investors unwound some of the geopolitical risk premium factored into global markets after Israel’s escalation of military operations in Gaza proceeded more cautiously than had been anticipated. Brent crude dropped below $90 a barrel, after rising by almost 3% on Friday, while WTI fell toward $84. S&P 500 futures contracts rose 0.3% after the gauge fell 0.5% on Friday, with risk appetite dented over worries including a persistently hawkish Federal Reserve and underwhelming corporate earnings.
