In December, consumer prices in the US fell for the first time since 2020, fuelling expectations that the Federal Reserve will slow the pace of rate hikes. This added some bullish sentiment to financial markets.

Oil edged higher after a bumpy start to the year. Analysts from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to top hedge fund manager Pierre Andurand predict that prices will surge above $100 per barrel in 2023. In addition, there are signs that trading activity has picked up in the new year.
