Energy & precious metals - weekly review and outlook
By the time you read this, OPEC would have probably decided, even announced, new production levels meant to seize pricing of oil back from the hands of short-sellers who’ve driven the group nuts this year in trying to keep a barrel at $80 or more. Oil revenue is the lifeblood of the economies in OPEC, or the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, a 13-member Saudi-led group whose main objective is to be the price-setter of the commodity. Ten other oil-producing states, including Russia, that aren’t OPEC members also keep their output closely in line with the group’s for the sake of price.

GLOBAL MARKETS-U.S. yields, dollar rise a touch after payroll data
U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar rose slightly, while share futures dipped briefly on Friday on a higher-than-expected rise in non-farm payrolls in May but investors maintained bets the Federal Reserve will skip a rate hike at its next meeting. Also supporting the mood was the U.S. Senate passing bipartisan legislation backed by President Joe Biden that lifts the government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling, averting what would have been a first-ever default. However, despite strong hiring, the unemployment rate rose to 3.7% from a 53-year low of 3.4% in April, and wage pressures are also subsiding, which should offer some comfort to Fed officials battling to bring inflation back to the U.S. central bank's 2% target.

GLOBAL MARKETS-Stocks gain, dollar stumbles as US averts default and Fed skip bets rise
Global stocks and commodities rose on Friday while the dollar headed for its biggest weekly drop since March, as sentiment was buoyed by signs the Fed will skip a rate hike at its next meeting and by the approval of U.S. debt ceiling legislation. Markets are now focused on U.S. jobs data due at 0830 EST (1230 GMT), the most significant macroeconomic release of the week, for more cues on the Federal Reserve's rate hike path. The U.S. Labor Department's employment report is likely to show nonfarm payrolls increased by 190,000 jobs last month after rising 253,000 in April, according to a Reuters survey of economists.

ReutersGlobal shares, US yields rise after strong jobs data, debt-ceiling passage
NEW YORK (Reuters) -Global shares and U.S. Treasury yields rose on Friday following stronger-than-expected job growth data that raised investor expectations that the Federal Reserve could retain its interest rate hikes. Labor Department data showed on Friday that the U.S. economy added 339,000 jobs last month, significantly higher than most estimates and suggesting tighter labor market conditions which might prompt a Fed rate hike. The market mood was also supported by the U.S. Senate passing bipartisan legislation on Thursday that lifted the federal government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling and averted what would have been a first-ever default.

GLOBAL MARKETS-Asian shares rise on debt bill progress, Fed pause hopes
Asian stocks surged on Friday as the progress on the bill to raise U.S. debt ceiling and increasing hopes that the Federal Reserve might stand still on interest rates in its next meeting helped perk up investor appetite for risky assets. The U.S. Senate is on track to pass a bill to lift the government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling late on Thursday in Washington, Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said, after the House of Representatives passed the bill on Wednesday. The Treasury Department has warned it will be unable to pay all its bills on June 5 if Congress fails to act.

GLOBAL MARKETS-Global equities rise, U.S. yields fall after debt ceiling bill advances
Global equities rose on Thursday after the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill to raise the federal debt ceiling, while U.S. Treasury yields fell as data reflected a cooling labor market that reduces the possibility of an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve. A bill that suspends the $31.4 trillion debt ceiling - and averts a catastrophic government default - sailed through the House of Representatives on Wednesday after a majority of both Democrats and Republicans backed the measure despite opposition from hardline members of both parties. The U.S. Senate will follow up by considering the bill.
