Global Market Analysis by SO OK TRADING | 11 July 2026

 
In July 2026, global markets are experiencing exciting volatility. Precious metals are entering a “consolidation phase” under Fed interest rate pressure, while base metals are “surging” on strong demand from AI and clean energy industries. Meanwhile, crude oil faces heavy selling pressure due to oversupply, Middle East ceasefire agreements, OPEC+ production increases, and renewed U.S.–Iran tensions.
