Brent crude near 4-year low

Brent crude traded near its lowest level in four years amid speculation that a drop in OPEC output last month won't eliminate a supply glut.

Futures declined for a third day. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries said its production dropped by 226,400 barrels a day to 30.253 million in October, the largest decrease since March. West Texas Intermediate crude slid on forecasts that U.S. inventories rose for a sixth week.

"That factors that brought us down here are still the main focus," said Gene McGillian, a senior analyst at Tradition Energy in Stamford, Connecticut. "Even though OPEC said it cut production, we continue to have fears that we have a global supply glut. We can see another build in U.S. stockpiles this week."

The gold market is now heavily dependent on the appreciation of the yen against the dollar and the decline should resume soon," - said the precious metals trader in Hong Kong.

On the Shanghai Gold Exchange Wednesday precious metal is trading at $ 02.03 an ounce more expensive than the global benchmark, whereas last week the gold in China is mainly offered at a discount to the standard.

Regulators fine global banks $3.4 billion in forex probe

Global regulators imposed penalties totaling $3.4 billion on five major banks, including UBS (UBSN.VX), HSBC (HSBA.L) and Citigroup (C.N) on Wednesday for failing to stop their traders from trying to manipulate foreign exchange markets.

Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS.L) and JP Morgan (JPM.N) were also fined over attempts to rig currency benchmarks in a year-long probe that has put the largely unregulated $5 trillion-a-day market on a tighter leash, with dozens of dealers suspended or fired.
