Weekend OPEC meeting and geopolitical uncertainty keep traders attuned. 2/27/26

WTI Crude Oil futures lead the commodity complex as the market prepares for the week of March 2. Participants are monitoring a scheduled OPEC plus decision regarding April production runs, with expectations centered on an increase of 137,000 barrels. In the metals quadrant, Gold and Copper futures achieved record weekly high closes, while Silver futures reached their second highest weekly settlement. This strength coincided with a retreat in both the U.S. dollar and 10-Year yields. Looking ahead, the economic calendar is headlined by Friday's non-farm payrolls report and several central bank speakers, including officials from the ECB and Federal Reserve. Corporate earnings also continue with over 118 companies with a market cap over 1 billion reporting, including major retail and technology firms. https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/energy.html #CrudeOil #Gold #Macro
