PreMarket Trading: Crude Oil Inventories

Pre-market trading activity and scheduled economic data that may have an impact on the global financial markets. ​

STOCKS – Asian and world stock indices succumbed to profit-taking after reaching one-year highs earlier this month, while U.S. futures pointed to a lower open on Wall Street.

BONDS – The 2-10 U.S. yield curve flattened to 78 basis points earlier on Wednesday, the flattest in a month, suggesting investors are lukewarm on what higher borrowing costs will do for the U.S. and world economy.

COMMODITIES – Oil prices fell, reversing earlier gains, after the American Petroleum Institute (API) reported on Tuesday that U.S. crude inventories rose by a surprising 4.5 million barrels last week.

CURRENCIES – The dollar index of its value against a trade-weighted basket of currencies edged up, after falling more than 1 percent last week.
