Gold: Gold prices firmed early, hanging near a more than 3-month high reached earlier this week, as the USD eased and Asian stocks slumped after Wall Street surrendered all its gains YTD.

Spot gold a bit firmer at $1,236.76 oz.

Stocks: Markets have been hit hard this month by a range of worries, including the US-China trade dispute, a rout in emerging market currencies, rising borrowing costs and bond yields, and economic concerns in Italy.

Energy: Crude Oil prices down by about 1% Thursday, coming under pressure from selloffs in global stock markets, with US stocks posting the biggest daily decliner since Y 2011 erasing the year’s gains.

Front-month ICE Brent Crude Oil futures (LCOc1) were at $75.42 bbl at 0043 GMT, 75c, or 1%, below their last close.

NYMEX WTI Crude Oil futures (CLc1) were at $66.23 bbl, – 59c, or 0.9%, below their prior settlement.

WTI has fallen nearly 10% so far this month, while Brent is down nearly 9%.
