World Markets At This Hour

(RTTNews) - World markets regained momentum in the beginning of the new week. Stocks rebounded whereas commodities were pressured by China sticking on to its aggressive Zero Covid policy.

Asian stocks finished higher. European benchmarks are mostly trading higher. Wall Street futures also portend mild gains on opening.

Dollar weakened, dragging the Dollar Index lower. Bond yields moved higher. Crude oil prices slumped as hopes of a shift in China's Covid strategy waned. Gold gained amidst the Dollar's strength.
