Market Sentiment Positive Despite Oil Price Surge | Webinar

Market sentiment analysis:

• Traders have become more optimistic despite the weekend attacks on an oil processing facility and an oil field in Saudi Arabia.
• That’s helping world stock markets and “risk on” currencies.

Risk on now the dominant market theme

Market sentiment is broadly positive despite Saturday’s attacks on Saudi Aramco’s oil processing facility at Abqaiq and the nearby Khurais oil field that led to a huge rise in the prices of crude oil. Rather than prompting a jump in demand for safe havens such as gold, stock markets are buoyant, as are risk-on currencies.
