CANBERA (dpa-AFX) - Mixed sentiment prevailed in global markets amidst the uncertainty surrounding trade tariffs and the steady flow of corporate earning scorecards. Skepticism over a U.S.-China trade deal limited gains.
Meanwhile, data released just a while ago from the U.S. showed a larger-than-expected jump in monthly durable goods orders and a minor uptick in weekly initial jobless claims that matched expectations.
Wall Street Futures are trading with mild losses. European benchmarks are also trading in negative territory. Asian bourses finished trading on a mostly positive note.
The six-currency Dollar Index declined. Bond yields are moving in a mixed fashion. Crude oil prices staged an emphatic recovery. Gold also recorded a strong rebound. Cryptocurrencies mostly declined.
