U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said at the ASEAN foreign ministers’ meeting in the Philippines that the other side “is not serious about talks,” adding to geopolitical unease. WTI crude futures rose 4.08% in early trading to $87.78 a barrel, while spot gold gained 0.99% to $4,118.11 an ounce. The remarks were not accompanied by new military action or sanctions, but still prompted a flight-to-safety and supply concerns in commodities.
