Global Stocks Strengthen as Oil Dips Below $90 a Barrel
Global stocks advanced as Brent crude briefly dropped below $90 per barrel for the first time since August, lifting sentiment on tentative signs of diplomatic progress in the Iran conflict.
The Dow futures gained 0.5%, the S&P 500 rose 0.3%, and South Korea's Kospi jumped 4.4%, while markets awaited US inflation data with an 83.8% probability of a December Fed rate hike priced in.
Further declines in oil prices could support global equities, but hotter inflation could reinforce expectations of additional monetary tightening.
