Overnight Global Futures Lead
📆 13 April 2026
Commentary
(1) FKLI
KLCI closed in positive territory on Friday, supported by firmer regional peers, though upside
momentum remained constrained following a volatile week that delivered only two advancing
sessions.
(2) FCPO
Palm oil futures retreated more than 2% on Friday, snapping a five-week rally, as concerns
that a rise in output could outstrip demand amid the ongoing Middle East war pressured
prices, even as inventories fell to a seven-month low in March.
(3) U.S. Stock Index Futures
U.S. stock index futures ended mixed on Friday, as caution over a fragile ceasefire in the
Middle East was offset by a key inflation report that was not as bad as feared.
(4) COMEX Gold
Gold prices were largely unchanged on Friday but were on track for a weekly rise as a weaker
U.S. dollar followed the U.S.–Iran truce, although investors remained cautious while
evaluating the deal’s durability and its impact on interest rates.
(5) Crude Oil
Oil prices hovered near their session lows in volatile trading on Friday, as an uneasy ceasefire
involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran persisted, while the crucial Strait of Hormuz remained
mostly closed.

Overnight Global Futures Lead
📆 14 April 2026
Commentary
(1) FKLI
KLCI ended Monday's session in negative territory, tracking broader regional declines, as the
breakdown of U.S.-Iran peace negotiations dampened investor sentiment and curbed risk
appetite across equities.
(2) FCPO
Palm oil futures rose on Monday, recovering slightly from the previous session's loss, as
geopolitical jitters in the Middle East lifted crude oil prices and spurred buying interest in the
oilseed.
(3) U.S. Stock Index Futures
U.S. Stock Index Futures closed about 1% higher on Monday, recovering strongly from an
early decline as software stocks rebounded, attention turned to the start of the earnings
season, and optimism grew that U.S.–Iran talks might continue despite negotiations breaking
down over the weekend.
(4) COMEX Gold
Gold prices edged lower on Monday as a firmer dollar and renewed inflation worries
dampened expectations for interest-rate cuts following the collapse of U.S.–Iran peace talks.
(5) Crude Oil
Oil prices jumped about 6% on Monday, rising above $100 a barrel after the U.S. announced
a blockade of ships leaving Iran’s ports, fueling fears of supply disruptions.
