Sector Commentary
Currencies: The British pound and the euro declined after U.K. Prime Minister May announced a plan to exit the Eurozone faster than expected. Speculation over a U.S. interest rate hike also weakened the currencies, including the Japanese yen. The Canadian dollar weakened due to falling oil prices and on discussion the Bank of Canada could possibly lower interest rates.
Energy: Crude oil prices declined on doubts OPEC members and Russia will agree to cut crude oil production. Natural gas markets rose due to expectations of high demand this winter.
Equities: U.S. equity markets finished lower, pressured by oil company stocks and political uncertainty. European equities rose due to a weaker British currency, on speculation about a U.S. interest rate hike and on better-than-expected economic data.
Fixed Income: Global fixed income markets declined on rising expectations of a December rate hike. Bund prices fell over two percent as gains in crude oil and recovery in equities reduced demand for the safe-haven asset. Gilt prices declined after the European Central Bank conducted informal meetings to decide how to taper or end its quantitative easing initiatives.
Grains/Foods: Grains and soybeans markets rose on strong demand and exports. Sugar prices declined due to elevated supplies. Coffee prices rose over eight percent as fears over supplies were reinforced by the International Coffee Organization, which flagged potential setbacks to forthcoming harvests in Brazil, Colombia, Indonesia and Vietnam; the world's four biggest coffee producing countries.
Metals: Precious metals markets declined as demand decreased with rising expectations of an interest rate hike in December.
