Crude oil and gold
Crude affects inflation, transport costs, and government finances. Gold often reflects fear, currency concerns, and portfolio diversification demand.
US and global cues

Interest-rate expectations influence debt funds, borrowing costs, equity valuations, currency strength, and retirement-income planning.
