Daily Commodity Outlook, June 19  2020 

<p><span>Asian stock market went higher on Friday as the market is looking to end this week in gains.U.S. stock market ended mixed on Thursday night as Jobless claims data disappointed to act as a damper in early U.S. trading, but the upbeat Philadelphia Fed survey for June provided support for the stock market. U.S. and European futures drifted Friday ahead of the quadruple witching day on Wall Street. Treasuries were flat while crude oil rose, with West Texas Intermediate climbing past $39 a barrel.</span></p>
<p><span>USD went higher in this mixed market sentiment. The weekly jobless claims in the U.S. remained above the one million benchmarked in the past week, although it reported fewer job losses than previous weeks. In the same time, the Philadelphia Fed survey for the June business outlook rebounded way more than expected — 27 rather than the minus 21 read that was forecast. That signals the U.S. leading indicator can extend its resurgence, given the strong relationship between the two. As the market becomes pickier with economic data, USD could see some upside as the recovery might need longer than expected.</span></p>
<p><span>Copper prices edged higher as PBOC governor’s reassurance that the economic fundamentals remain sound and that the Chinese government will keep liquidity ample in the second half of the year lifted the market risk sentiment. Elsewhere, concerns over the risks of a second wave of Covid-19 infection limited the upside in prices. </span></p>
<p><span>Gold prices traded sideways as concerns of a second wave of Covid-19 infections which buoyed demand for the precious metal was countered by a stronger dollar and optimism for a swift economic recovery. Meanwhile, a surge in the number of new Covid-19 cases in the US along with travel curbs implemented by Beijing as they battle a second wave of virus infections limit the downside of the precious metal. </span></p>
<p><span>On the last trading day for this week, oil looks set to resume its upwards run on signs that consumption is picking up within economies that are emerging from their lockdowns. However, the rise could well be limited as a resurgence of the virus in Beijing is clouding the long-term outlook. How a major economy like Beijing deals with the 2nd wave and its consumption of oil will likely reflect other economies should they be hit with the 2nd wave as well. In line with the end of the week upwards push for oil, the CAD further strengthened as well.</span></p>
