In commodities, June Gold Futures climbed 0.66% to $3,257.00 per troy ounce, signaling continued demand for safe-haven assets. However, oil prices declined, with June Crude Oil Futures falling 1.60% to $58.29 per barrel, and July Brent Crude dropping 1.35% to $61.29.
On the currency front, the ruble weakened against major peers. USD/RUB rose 0.91% to 82.75, and EUR/RUB gained 0.94% to 93.47. Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index Futures dipped 0.21% to 99.84, reflecting modest greenback softness.
This decline in Russia’s benchmark index reflects broader investor caution amid commodity price shifts and currency volatility.
