Oil check

Oil prices fell on Thursday after US crude stockpiles surged to their highest levels in almost 17 months amid record production. International benchmark Brent futures were at $71.57 per barrel, down 16 cents, or 0.2 per cent, from their last close.

 

US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil futures were at $64.36 per barrel, down 25 cents, or 0.4 per cent, from their previous settlement.

8:15 AM

Asian Markets check

Asian stocks held near eight-month highs on Thursday and the dollar slipped again on expectations global interest rates will stay lower for longer after a dovish turn by the European Central Bank and milder than expected US inflation.

 

MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan paused after four straight days of gains but held near its highest since last August. Japan’s Nikkei eased 0.2 per cent as the yen strengthened.

8:10 AM

Wall Street check

Technology stocks led Wall Street slightly higher on Wednesday, as U.S. inflation data proved to be benign and the minutes from the Federal Reserve’s March meeting were unsurprising.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 6.58 points, or 0.03 per cent, to 26,157.16, the S&P 500 gained 10.01 points, or 0.35 per cent, to 2,888.21, and the Nasdaq Composite added 54.97 points, or 0.69 per cent, to 7,964.24.
