On Thursday, November 12, 2026, global financial markets continued to digest the policy repricing triggered by hotter-than-expected US inflation. In early Asian trading, spot gold hovered around $3,981/oz after falling 1.12% on Wednesday and losing the psychological $4,000/oz level. US October CPI rose 0.4% month-on-month, beating forecasts for the third month in a row, while hawkish remarks from Fed Governor Waller and other officials lifted market pricing for a 25-basis-point December hike to about 87%. Bets on a 50-basis-point move also climbed above 10%, pushing the US Dollar Index to its highest level since April 2025 and weighing on the appeal of non-yielding assets. If sticky inflation is further confirmed, gold may stay under pressure; on the other hand, steady central bank buying could offer some support at lower levels.
In the energy market, WTI crude traded around $86.27/barrel in early trading. Iran’s top security official said the country will not allow any enriched nuclear material to leave Iran, and with shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz showing little sign of easing, supply concerns returned and lent support to oil prices. At the same time, reports that Washington is considering direct talks with Iran have kept hopes of de-escalation alive. With these forces pulling in opposite directions, oil may stay range-bound in the short term. Today, investors will watch UK GDP data and US initial jobless claims for further clues on global growth momentum and the monetary policy path.
