Gold: The yellow metal declined on Monday, with April Futures trading 0.20% lower at $2,907 per ounce.

Crude Oil: International crude oil futures traded slightly lower today, with Brent Futures trading around $70.30, down 0.09%, while WTI Crude traded 0.04% lower around $67.02. Oil prices trade under pressure as uncertainty around the US trade tariffs and OPEC+ decision to increase production weighted on the price.
