Gold Prices Dip In Asia As Market Awaits Fed Minutes For Insights - Gold prices eased in Asia on Wednesday as investors geared for Fed meetings later in the day for more insight on the rate path in 2018.With Fed minutes from the November meeting due, analysts do not expect anything in the comments to dissuade market participants from assigning a high likelihood of a December rate hike.

Former Fed chair Bernanke has also recently weighed in on this topic, arguing in favor of temporary price level targeting if the fed funds rate hits the effective lower bound in the future. Overnight, gold prices rose on Tuesday after the dollar fell amid weakness in long-term yields ahead of the release of the Federal Reserve's October meeting meetings slated for Wednesday.

Oil prices firm on expected OPEC
cut extension, U.S. crude stock draw - Oil prices climbed on
Wednesday after a reported fall in U.S. crude inventories and on expectations
that an OPEC-led production cut aimed at tightening the market will be extended
beyond next March.Traders said markets have been supported by an effort led by
the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to restrain output
in a bid to end a global supply overhang. The deal to curb production is due to
expire in March, but OPEC will meet on Nov. 30 in Vienna to discuss the outlook
for the policy. "The meeting's outcome will ultimately determine oil prices'
near-term fate," said Stephen Innes, head of trading for Asia-Pacific at
futures brokerage OANDA. J.P. Morgan said in its 2018 commodities outlook,
released late on Tuesday, that "oil markets in 2018 will be balanced on
the back of extended ... production cuts", but added that without extended
cuts, markets would be in surplus.
