RBI Monetary Policy: Governor Das says repo rate unchanged, sees GDP at 10.5 pct for FY22, inflation at 5.4 pct for Q4FY21 RBI Monetary Policy: Governor Das says repo rate unchanged, sees GDP at 10.5 pct for FY22, inflation at 5.4 pct for Q4FY21

Oil prices rallied on Monday and stocks across the globe also rose as investors saw tariff threats as a U.S. negotiating tactic and not a done deal, while concern ebbed over an inconclusive Italian election.

Stocks across the globe rose after four days of declines, with the U.S. benchmark S&P 500 higher and Europe closing at a session high as pressure grew on U.S. president Donald Trump to back off from planned tariffs on steel and aluminum.

"We have at least a bit of a rethink regarding the prospects of trade war," said Art Hogan of the higher stock prices in the early afternoon. He said the Trump administration "sees the stock market as a report card for success and markets have so far said this trade war is not a good idea."

Trump`s hard talk regarding steel and aluminum tariffs "sounds like we`re shifting back to posturing to get a better NAFTA deal," Hogan added.

Trump said on Monday that Canada and Mexico could avoid being caught in his planned hefty tariffs on steel and aluminum imports if they ceded ground to Washington in trilateral talks on a new North American trade deal.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 191.66 points, or 0.78 percent, to 24,729.72, the S&P 500 gained 21.58 points, or 0.80 percent, to 2,712.83 and the Nasdaq Composite added 57.00 points, or 0.79 percent, to 7,314.87.

The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index rose 1.04 percent and MSCI`s gauge of stocks across the globe gained 0.46 percent.

Emerging market stocks lost 0.49 percent, weighed lower by Asia overnight. MSCI`s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan closed 1.08 percent lower. Japan`s Nikkei lost 0.66 percent, but Nikkei futures rose nearly 1 percent.

The euro, which earlier fell as much as 0.4 percent versus the U.S. dollar, edged higher against most major peers, including the greenback.

The common currency was whiplashed by weekend elections, as Germany`s Social Democrats voted to re-enter a grand coalition with Chancellor Angela Merkel`s conservatives, while results from Italy pointed to a messier outcome than expected - a strong showing for anti-establishment parties and no group able to form a stable government.

The dollar index rose 0.09 percent, with the euro up 0.1 percent to $1.2329.

The Japanese yen weakened 0.31 percent versus the greenback at 106.09 per dollar, while Sterling was last trading at $1.3847, up 0.33 percent on the day.

The Mexican peso lost 0.44 percent versus the U.S. dollar at 18.88 and the Canadian dollar was down 0.82 percent against the greenback at 1.30 per dollar.

Crude prices rose on forecasts for robust oil demand growth and concerns OPEC will not be able to increase its production capacity.

U.S. crude rose 2.17 percent to $62.58 per barrel and Brent was last at $65.64, up 1.97 percent on the day.

Treasury yields turned higher as stocks surged pointing to more risk tolerance in markets.

Benchmark 10-year notes last fell 7/32 in price to yield 2.8826 percent, from 2.857 percent late on Friday.

The 30-year bond last fell 17/32 in price to yield 3.1597 percent, from 3.132 percent late on Friday.

Spot gold dropped 0.2 percent to $1,319.70 an ounce. U.S. gold futures fell 0.19 percent to $1,320.90 an ounce.

Copper rose 0.43 percent to $6,928.00 a tonne.
