| Oil prices weakened on Thursday as worries about the global economy weighed and equity markets were under pressure as uncertainty over the outlook for U.S. interest rate cuts left investors on edge. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude shed 33 cents to $55.35 per barrel while Brent crude lost 39 cents to $59.91. Traders are awaiting a speech from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Friday in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, that could indicate whether the U.S. central bank will continue to cut interest rates. “The market will be shifting focus today to broader based macro headlines with comments out of Jackson Hole likely to be prioritized in this regard,” said Jim Ritterbusch, president of Ritterbusch and Associates. | |||

| Gold inched lower on Thursday after comments from U.S. Federal Reserve officials dampened hopes for additional monetary easing, although investors awaited further clarity from the central bank chief at the Jackson Hole symposium. Spot gold was down 0.18% at $1,499.5 an ounce, having earlier touched its lowest since Aug. 13 at $1,491.50. U.S. gold futures slipped 0.45% to $1,508.9. “The entire market is in a wait-and-see mode, but there has been a steady stream of Fed speakers who have come out with a more hawkish message,” said Daniel Ghali, commodity strategist at TD Securities. | |||
