Oil prices rebounded in Asian trading, with Brent rising above $100 and WTI near $90, following a sharp sell-off of over 10% on Monday.
Market volatility remains high amid ongoing uncertainty around the Middle East conflict, as investors remain skeptical about de-escalation claims, especially after Iran denied negotiations with the U.S.
Persistent concerns over attacks on energy infrastructure and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz continue to support energy prices.
In the stock markets, U.S. stock futures edged lower in early trading on Tuesday after a strong rally in the previous session on hopes of a potential U.S.-Iran resolution.
The rebound was supported by Trump’s comments about progress in talks, though Iran denied negotiations, and by a sharp drop in oil prices, which helped boost equities.
Investors are awaiting Eurozone, UK, and U.S. PMI data for further direction.
In the Asian market, stocks rose as signs of de-escalation in the Middle East conflict helped ease oil prices and improve investor sentiment. Major indices gained across the region, with South Korea’s Kospi up around 1.6%, and Japan’s Nikkei rising more than 1%.
In Japan, inflation slowed to 1.3%, below the central bank’s target, adding further support to markets by signaling easing price pressures.
Precious metals continue to fluctuate. Gold extended its decline, falling around 1–2% to near $4,340, as a stronger U.S. dollar and higher Treasury yields reduced its appeal. Silver also dropped sharply.
In the Forex market, EURUSD declined below 1.1600 as the U.S. dollar strengthened amid rising risk aversion, driven by escalating tensions in the Middle East.
While the ECB has adopted a more hawkish stance, supporting the euro, the safe haven demand for the dollar currently dominates, keeping pressure on the pair.
