Mon Dec 1, 2014 8:42am IST
GLOBAL MARKETS ROUNDUP
* Gold prices tumbled on Monday after Swiss voters
overwhelmingly rejected proposals to boost gold reserves in a
referendum, joining the broad rout in commodities that sent oil
prices to five-year lows and copper to four-year lows.
* The dollar rose to a new seven-year high against the yen
on Monday amid growing concerns over deflationary pressure in
Japan in the face of sliding oil prices.
* U.S. crude fell more than $2 to a five-year low in Asian
trade on Monday, while Brent futures touched a fresh four-year
low, extending a steep sell-off after OPEC decided not to cut
production last week, keeping markets well supplied.
* U.S. benchmark and long-dated Treasury yields fell for a
sixth straight session and notched their second straight monthly
declines on Friday on signs of disinflation and month-end
buying.
