Oil plunges as Iran risks ease after Trump comments<\/h2>\n\nFrom Bloomberg:<\/p>\n
Oil plunged as geopolitical risk premiums faded after US President Donald Trump said Washington is talking with Iran, while a broader commodities sell-off exacerbated the slide.<\/p>\n
Brent (BZ=F) plummeted more than 5% at one point and was trading near $66 a barrel, while US crude futures (CL=F) also nosedived. Trump downplayed Iran supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei\u2019s threats of a regional war over the weekend, reiterating he\u2019s hopeful they\u2019ll make a deal.<\/p>\n
The Islamic Republic\u2019s foreign ministry said it hopes diplomatic efforts will avert a war. The Tasnim news agency said talks between the US and Iran are likely in the coming days.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe move lower looks more like a positioning reset than a fundamental shift,\u201d said Haris Khurshid, chief investment officer at Karobaar Capital LP. \u201cWith no new supply shock, oil is giving back some risk premium as the market recalibrates after pricing in near-term disruption that just didn\u2019t materialize.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nvidia stock falls as Huang caveats pledge to invest big in OpenAI<\/h2>\n\nNvidia’s (NVDA) proposed $100 billion investment in OpenAI (OPAI.PVT) was “never a commitment,” its CEO Jensen Huang said after a Wall Street Journal report that the megadeal has been put on ice.<\/p>\n
Shares in the AI chipmaker fell nearly 2% before the bell on Monday.<\/p>\n

Premarket trending tickers: Estee Lauder, GameStop and Newmont<\/h2>\n\nEst\u00e9e Lauder (<\/strong>EL<\/strong>)<\/strong> stock rose 6% before the bell on Monday. The cosmetics and beauty company said it has entered into a partnership with SalonCentric to distribute its products across more than 850 US stores.<\/p>\nGameStop (<\/strong>GME<\/strong>)<\/strong> stock continued to rise on Monday after climbing 4% on Friday, following the news that CEO Ryan Cohen wants to expand the company through acquisitions.<\/p>\nNewmont (<\/strong>NEM<\/strong>)<\/strong> stock fell more than 3% during premarket hours on Monday. The gold mining company’s shares edged lower after gold fell 2% below $5,000.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n- \n\n\n\n\n
Dollar gains as gold, silver slide hurts commodity currencies<\/h2>\n\nBloomberg reports:<\/p>\n
The dollar (DX-Y.NYB) strengthened again Monday, advancing the most against currencies sensitive to commodity prices, as a plunge in gold (GC=F) and silver (SIL=F) rippled across markets.<\/p>\n
The greenback rallied the most against the currencies of Australia, New Zealand and Norway in early London trading, as gold extended losses after its biggest plunge in more than a decade on Friday. Silver sank as much as 16% Monday after its intraday loss on Friday was the steepest on record.<\/p>\n
… The dollar\u2019s gain of about 1% over Friday and Monday comes after the world\u2019s reserve currency slumped in the second half of January.<\/p>\n
The bounceback may have caught some investors off guard, given shorting the greenback was one of the most popular macro trades last month. Until the end of last week, US threats against Greenland and President Donald Trump\u2019s apparent embrace of the currency\u2019s selloff had only fueled debate around the greenback\u2019s long-term decline.<\/p>\n
