What’s happening

Commodity prices and U.S. stock futures were trading lower as traders are anxious about the most severe wave of unrest to rock China since the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989, according to Jim Wyckoff, senior analyst at Kitco.com.

“The marketplace is uneasy to start the trading week, as there is civil unrest in China over its strict zero-Covid policies. Reports said there were demonstrations across China over the weekend. It’s the largest show of discontent since the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989,” Wyckoff said.
