US markets reached record levels again after the GDP report showed the economy to expand by its fastest pace in 11 years, gaining 5% over the last quarter.
Asian markets were mixed across the region. The Nikkei gained 1.24% as the Dollar rallied against the Yen yesterday climbing to a high of 120.8. Although it weakened slightly before the close of the session, it remained at a two week high against the Yen.
European markets finished mixed today. The DAX remained closed for Christmas Eve and the CAC 40 & FTSE traded for a half day.
Oil climbed on a number of factors. US GDP data showed that economic recovery is ongoing and suggested that oil demand may increase. Arabic OPEC producers also reported that they believe the price will climb back above $70/barrel by the end of next year. The rally was short lived, however, and the price is falling back down after a supply report from the API. The report showed that inventories climbed by 5.4million barrels in the past week. Traders should watch data from the EIA will release data at 3:30pm GMT.
Gold traded choppy yesterday. The price first gained as it rebounded from a sharp fall. However, it later fell following the US GDP data and rallies in the stock market. Bearish sentiment remains today and the selloff resumed after stronger than expected Initial Jobless Claims data.
