Gold Prices Hover Above 6-Month Lows as Dollar Reigns Supreme - Gold prices hovered above six-month lows Wednesday as traders continued to shun the yellow-metal despite signs of a late-day turnaround in risk sentiment as a strong dollar continued to keep a lid on the yellow metal's advance. Gold prices traded in a narrow range, struggling to move off session lows, as the dollar remained supported despite a slight reversal in intraday risk sentiment helping safe-haven currencies pare some of their losses against the greenback. The dollar's move higher was also supported by an announcement from the White House softening its stance on restricting foreign investment. U.S. President Donald Trump said he would back Congress' passage of the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (FIRRMA), which would expand the powers of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), helping it combat alleged theft of U.S. intellectual property by China.

Oil dips but markets remain tight due to disruptions, record demand - U.S. oil prices dipped away from three-and-a-half year highs on Thursday amid high output from Russia, the United States and Saudi Arabia, although unplanned supply disruptions elsewhere and record demand stemmed a bigger decline.Oil prices have been rallying for much of 2018 on tightening market conditions due to record demand and voluntary supply cuts led by the Middle East dominated producer cartel of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Unplanned supply disruptions from Canada to Libya and Venezuela have added to those cuts. Yet not all indicators point towards an ever-tightening market. Although output growth is slowing, U.S. crude production is approaching 11 million barrels per day (bpd). With Russia and Saudi Arabia at similar levels, and output expected to rise as OPEC and Russia ease their supply restrictions, there will soon be three countries pumping out 11 million barrels of crude each and every day.
