Gold prices fell to a four-week low Friday as appetite for riskier investments improved after Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election, damping demand for haven assets.

Gold for December delivery was recently down 1.2% at $1,251.00 a troy ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, on track for its fifth straight day of losses. The drop took gold prices to the lowest level since Oct. 14.

The Wall Street Journal Dollar Index, which weighs the dollar against a basket of other currencies, was up 0.1% on Friday morning. As gold is priced in dollars, it becomes more expensive for holders of other currencies as the dollar appreciates.

Crude oil futures fell for the secont time in five sessions, hurt by a stronger U.S. dollar and another build in oil inventories, according to rttnews.

WTI light sweet crude oil fell 61 cents, or 1.4%, to settle at $44.66 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

That's after a report showed OPEC's oil production rose to record highs in October.

The International Energy Agency said OPEC crude output rose by a 230,000 barrels a day to a record high of 33.83 million barrels a day in October.

The IEA said OPEC faces a significant challenge in curbing production to meet levels discussed at a recent meeting in Algiers.

"We can't predict the outcome of the November 30 meeting, but we can see the scale of the task ahead," said the IEA.

Surveys of Consumers chief economist, Richard Curtin: The Sentiment Index in early November erased the small October decline to climb to its highest level since mid 2016 and rise slightly above the 2016 average of 91.1.

The recent gain in sentiment was driven by an improved outlook for the economy. The most striking finding in early November was that both near and long-term inflation expectations jumped to 2.7% from last month's record matching lows of 2.4%.

These increases must be replicated before they can be taken to indicate a troublesome development; thus far, the data has simply repeated the March 2016 peaks.

Nonetheless, it may be viewed as added justification for next month's expected interest rate hike. The expected small increase in interest rates had little impact on favorable buying attitudes, and still supports a 2.5% increase in real consumer spending during 2017. Unfortunately, the November data must be accompanied by the proviso that it was collected before the result of the Presidential election was known late Tuesday.

"In my view, the Fed appears reasonably close to achieving both the inflation and employment components of its mandate," Mr. Fischer said in remarks prepared for delivery at a conference hosted by the Central Bank of Chile. "Accordingly, the case for removing accommodation gradually is quite strong, keeping in mind that the future is uncertain and that monetary policy is not on a preset course."

U.S. stock-index futures fell as investors continued to parse the implications of a Donald Trump presidency for the economy and interest rates.

"EUR/AUD material bounce in the recent weeks has failed to produce a weekly close above key MT pivot at 1.45 and as such maintains our aggressive 1.36/1.38 target. We now look to future weekly closes for further confirmation of the MT downtrend.

A weekly close below the lower weekly Bollinger band around 1.4270/90 will provide confirmation of the ongoing decline and validate our 1.36/1.38 target.

Only a weekly close above 1.4500 would confirm that our downside target is too aggressive".

Financial stocks continued to rise in price on expectations that the policy of the new US president Donald Trump will be favorable for the financial sector.

During the election campaign Trump promised to increase government spending, which, according to experts, will lead to higher inflation and force the Federal Reserve to accelerate the pace of rate hikes. Against this backdrop, government bond yields are rising around the world.

In addition, the pre-election statements allow investors to make a conclusion about the possibility of significant breaks for financial sector regulation and mitigation.

The composite index of the largest companies in the region Stoxx Europe 600 rose 0,2%, to 339.45 points.

Shares of Deutsche Bank rose 0,6%, Italian Ubi Banca by 2.3%, the British Barclays by 0.4%.

UBS Group and Credit Suisse Group AG, receiving more than 35% of its revenue from operations in the US, added 0.7% and 2.3%.

The cost of securities of the British Standard Life, working in the insurance and asset management, had jumped by 1.6%.

Fresnillo shares fell 4,9%, Randgold by 5.1% due to the decline in gold prices.

The capitalization of Allianz increased by 2.9%. The largest insurer in Europe by revenue and market value has increased net profit in the third quarter of 2016 by 37%, in particular due to the significant improvement in performance in the field of life insurance and health insurance, and confirmed the operating profit forecast for the full year.

The management company Pimco, owned by Allianz, in July-September, recorded a net inflow of funds of 4.7 billion euros.

Elections in the United States have the most serious impact on the global financial markets, Deputy Finance Minister Maxim Oreshkin said at the conference "Eurasian economic integration".

"With regard to external risks, the most interesting topic, of course, -. Presidential elections in the US. They have a very serious impact on the financial markets The main story, which you need to pay attention. US Treasuries are trading on the highest level this year"- he said.

This morning, the New York futures for Brent dropped 0.74% to $ 44.38 WTI fell 0.37% to $ 45.68 per barrel. Thus, the black gold is trading in the red zone on the background of market uncertainty, which is likely to persist, if OPEC and other oil producers do not agree on a substantial production cut.

According to the monthly report of the International Energy Agency, the oversupply in the oil market will continue in 2017 if OPEC members can not agree on production cuts, and manufacturers around the world, on the contrary, will increase the volume.

According to the IEA, world oil supply in October rose by 800,000 bpd to 97.8 million bpd, largely due to the record production volume in OPEC and countries outside the cartel, such as Russia, Brazil, Canada and Kazakhstan.

The gross domestic product (GDP) preliminary estimate showed construction output decreased by 1.4%. The revision to a decrease of 1.1% has no impact on GDP to 1 decimal place.

Downward pressure on the quarterly estimates came from all repair and maintenance which decreased by 3.6%, partially offset by an increase in all new work of 0.3%.

Between Quarter 3 2016 and Quarter 3 2015, output was estimated to have increased by 0.1%. All new work increased by 2.0% while there was a fall of 3.4% in repair and maintenance.

In September 2016, construction output increased by 0.3% compared with August 2016. All new work increased by 1.2% while there was a fall in repair and maintenance of 1.4%. Users should note that we always warn against overly interpreting 1 month's figures.

"Trump's main goal is to make America stronger, which we consider positive from the standpoint of the US economy. Campaign promises like infrastructure investment and tax cuts were extremely aggressive, and while they are likely to revised in Congress, they should remain substantial.

The USD/JPY rose from 75 to 125 in the so-called Abe market, then dropped back to 100. We believe the basic trend is a stronger yen, and maintain our mainline scenario that the USD/JPY will slide to the mid 90s if the US economy should look to slow next year before the details of the new administration's policies are clear.

Still, we feel that we need to assess anew the impact of policies - e.g. fiscal spending, tax cuts, deregulation, Homeland Investment Act - with the surprising Republican hold on the executive and legislative branches.

The upward/downward risk balance for the USD/JPY will depend on how we view the acceleration in US growth, rising interest rates and the equity rally".

In addition, 90% of those surveyed believe in the further expansion of the stimulus from the Central Bank. Only 5 of those surveyed believe that the new policy easing may occur in April 2017. Only 3 out of 25 economists are confident that new measures will be implemented in January '17, and only one waiting for that in December this year. Also, 19 economists expect a rate cut of 0.1% or more.

As reported by the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), the selling prices in wholesale trade increased by 0.5% in October 2016 from the corresponding month of the preceding year. In September and in August 2016 the annual rates of change were -0.3% and -1.2%, respectively.

From September 2016 to October 2016 the index rose by 0.4%.

Consumer prices in Germany were 0.8% higher in October 2016 compared with October 2015. This means that the inflation rate as measured by the consumer price index continues to rise in the second half of the year (August 2016: +0.4%; September 2016: +0.7%). An inflation rate of +0.8% was last recorded in October 2014. Compared with September 2016, the consumer price index rose by 0.2% in October 2016. The Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) thus confirms its provisional overall results of 28 October 2016.

The development of energy prices (-1.4% on October 2015) had a downward effect on the overall rise in prices in October 2016, as had been the case in the preceding months. However, the year-on-year decline in energy prices has continuously slowed since July 2016 (July 2016: -7.0%; August 2016: -5.9%; September 2016: -3.6%). Compared with October 2015, especially household energy prices were down (-2.3%, including charges for central and district heating: -7.5%; gas: -3.9%; heating oil: -1.4%). The prices of motor fuels were up year on year (+0.4%, including supergrade petrol: +0.7%; diesel fuel: +0.2%). Excluding energy, the inflation rate (+1.1%) was slightly lower than in September 2016 (+1.2%).

European stock markets ended a choppy session in negative territory on Thursday, as a rally for some of the biggest post-election gainers ran out of steam in the afternoon. The pan-European benchmark had opened sharply higher, continuing a rally from Wednesday that came as investors digested how a Donald Trump presidency will impact the markets in the future. Healthcare and precious metals stocks were initially the biggest winners, but the optimism fizzled late on Thursday and dragged the overall markets lower.

Asian emerging markets sold off sharply Friday as U.S. Treasury yields rose overnight. "Global investors are favoring conditions in the U.S. market," said Alex Wijaya, senior sales trader at CMC Markets, pointing to soaring U.S. Treasury yields. "We are seeing a general flowing to the U.S."
