Market overview — follow financial markets in real time

Financial markets are an interconnected ecosystem. When the oil price moves sharply it affects inflation expectations, which affect interest-rate decisions, which affect exchange rates, which affect the gold price. Following the market requires a holistic view — not just a single price.

This page is your starting point for navigating InvestViewer's network of specialist price sites.

Commodities — precious metals

Precious metals function as stores of value and inflation hedges. They are priced in USD per troy ounce and traded on global spot markets.

Commodities — energy and industrial metals

Currencies

Exchange rates are central for all investors with foreign assets. A move in EUR/USD or USD/SEK directly affects the value of commodities, foreign equities, and import prices.

How do the markets connect?

Gold and the dollar

Gold is priced in USD — when the dollar strengthens, each dollar buys more gold, which tends to push the USD price of gold down. A weaker dollar tends to drive the gold price higher. The relationship is not always perfect but is a strong average tendency.

Oil and inflation

Oil is a cost input in virtually all production and transport. When the oil price rises sharply it pushes consumer prices broadly higher — a classic case of cost-push inflation. Central banks respond with rate increases, which in turn tends to weigh on equity markets in the short term.

Copper and global growth

The copper price tracks global GDP growth closely — particularly China's industrial output, the world's largest copper consumer. A weak copper price can be an early warning of slowing global growth.

Currencies and interest-rate differentials

Exchange rates are driven over the medium term by interest-rate differentials between countries — a currency offering higher rates attracts capital and strengthens. This explains why the Swedish krona moved dramatically during Riksbanken's rate cycle in 2022–2024.
