Asian markets declined across the region. The Nikkei lost 2.01%, reaching a 6 week low. The Yen strengthened following the reelection of the current government, led by Prime Minister Abe and investors welcomed stability.

Oil reached a new 5 year low as OPEC made no indication that they would cut production despite the price dropping far below $60/barrel. Separately, the UAE Oil minister stated that OPEC would not cut production until the price falls as low as $40/barrel. The price is now rebounding slightly after positive data from across Europe. Traders should focus on inventory data from the API which will be released at 9:30pm GMT.

Gold dropped strongly but has since regained all losses as traders anticipate the FOMC meeting and its statement on Wednesday. Russia’s decision to hike rates has also brought uncertainty into the market increasing demand for safe haven assets.
