In Asia, crude oil for November delivery is trading 0.6% or 47 cents higher at $83.45 per barrel. On Friday, crude oil for
November delivery advanced 0.5% or 39 cents to $82.98 per barrel, amid expectation of increase in energy demand, following
better-than-expected non-farm payrolls data. However, gains were limited as Fitch Ratings downgraded sovereign ratings of
Spain and Italy, and Moody’s Investors services downgraded various UK and Portuguese banks.
Gold for immediate delivery is trading 0.9% higher today, at $1,635.26 per ounce. Gold for December delivery lost 1.1% or
