> Oil slides amid escalation of trade war; EIA data eyed today. We expect the EIA data to show overall higher crude oil stocks and lower refined product inventories, with the net result being positive for the Brent price. That said, we see the EIA reporting a smaller weekly oil stock build than the API did, which would likely be taken as an unexpected bullish development. In addition, continued risk-on trading should buoy stock markets during the day. Hence we expect Brent to surge above $77/bbl later in the day. > Gold slides on risk-on sentiment, dollar-positive trade war escalation. Today, investors will eye eurozone inflation and the ADP employment report in the US, which may hint at how the widely anticipated US labor report on Friday will turn out. The US labor market likely strengthened further in October, which may actually give the dollar some more room to run. Given all of this, we expect gold to dip below $1,210/oz today.
