Global Stocks Mixed as Oil, Commodity Price Surges Ignite Fresh Inflation Talk
Global stocks were mixed Thursday as a surge in energy and commodity prices boosted benchmarks in Europe and Asia but reignited concerns that robust global economic growth could quicken the pace of inflation and lift government bond yields. Oil prices surged to the highest levels in more than two years overnight, thanks in part to a Reuters report that suggested Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest producer, would be content with crude prices that approach $100 a barrel and won't push for changes in the current OPEC agreement that is taking 1.8 million barrels from the market each day until the end of the year. Aluminium prices, meanwhile, leapt to the highest in seven years, changing hands at $2,665 per ton on the London Metals Exchange, as U.S. sanctions on Russia hit the US Rusal, the world's number-two producer, while Nickel extended it two-day rally to 10% to trade at $15,825 per ton.

Reuters•1 hour agoCommodities rocket on $100 oil talk, metals stress
Talk that Saudi Arabia has its sights on $80-$100 a barrel oil again ignited a fierce rally in commodities and resource stocks on Thursday, though the potential boost to inflation globally put some pressure on fixed-income assets. It was set to be the strongest day for the commodity complex in eight months as Brent crude futures climbed past $74 a barrel after a near 3 percent jump overnight. The surge came on a Reuters report that OPEC's new price hawk Saudi Arabia would be happy for crude to rise to $80 or even $100, a sign Riyadh will seek no changes to a supply-cutting deal even though the agreement's original target is now within sight.

S&P 500 Rises for Third Straight Session
The S&P 500 rose for a third straight session Wednesday, lifted by gains in industrial firms and a continued rise in commodity prices. Some investors have said worries about higher interest rates and geopolitical factors ranging from trade tensions to U.S.-led strikes in Syria have faded in recent sessions, putting the spotlight on robust corporate-earnings growth. Despite those sources of market stress and a turbulent start to the year, some investors expect strong first-quarter results to boost stocks.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg also faced several questions last week from Congress about the lack of diversity in Facebook's executive ranks and on its board of directors. "[Facebook's leadership team] does not reflect America," said Representative G.K. Butterfield, D-N.C, one of the members of Congress to ask Zuckerberg to address the lack of racial diversity of Facebook's board. CEO and Chairman Ken Chenault became Facebook's first black board member, Butterfield noted.
