Gold Snaps Losing Streak; Oil Dips to 2024 Low

Oil prices settled in the red on Thursday and earlier slipped to their lowest level of 2024. Demand fears overshadowed the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries' (OPEC) decision to extend voluntary production cuts until late November. November-dated West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 5 cents, or 0.1%, to settle at $69.15 a barrel. 

Gold prices surged, snapping their four-day losing streak as the U.S. dollar weakened as the labor market seemed to cool off. The data made investors more confident in a robust interest rate cut. Gold for December delivery was last seen up 0.8% at $2,545.60 per ounce.
