SHARE MARKET REVIEW
CRUDE OIL
Oil was poised for the biggest monthly drop in more than three years in New York on speculation Europe’s worsening debt crisis will reduce fuel demand. Futures traded little changed after losing 3.2 percent yesterday, the most since May 4. European inflation slowed more than economists forecast this month, cooling to the least in more than a year as the economic slump showed signs of deepening. Oil closed yesterday 20 percent below this year’s highest settlement of $109.77 a barrel, a movement that often defines a bear market. Prices fell as the cost of protecting Spanish bonds against default climbed to a record and a Greek poll showed support for anti-austerity parties before elections.
GOLD
Gold is poised for the worst run of monthly losses in almost 13 years as concern that Europe’s fiscal crisis is escalating drove investors to seek the dollar as a haven over the precious metal.
The European Commission challenged Germany’s remedies to the financial crisis yesterday and Moody’s Investors Service cut ratings for nine Danish financial institutions. Bullion is 5.9 percent lower in May for its biggest drop this year as the dollar rallied 5.1 percent against a six-currency basket including the euro.
