Commodities Daily - October 9, 2018

Oil mirrors stock market amid bearish IEA monthly report and Saudi-related geopolitical heat. Today, we expect Brent to firm to $82/bbl given the geopolitical heat focused on Saudi Arabia following the disappearance of a Saudi journalist. We think this story is very sensitive for the oil market and could push prices considerably higher if it escalates.Gold prices maintain positive momentum following strong gains last week. This morning, gold is advancing toward the $1,230/oz mark on early signs of a weaker dollar. Today, investors will eye the US retail sales report (15:30 Moscow time). The consensus is for a 0.6% m-o-m rise, which would be above August's 0.1% rise. Such a result could buoy the dollar. We expect this morning's gold price rally to ease and see gold stabilizing around $1,225/oz for the rest of the day.
