US indices started the session higher, yet pared most gains. Meme stock mania in the US continues, but traders witnessed some interesting headlines as Mudrick Capital is said to have sold the entire stake that the fund had purchased at $27.12, saying that the stock is overvalued.
Oil markets were focused on key OPEC+ meeting that is taking place today. OPEC+ countries are most likely to reconfirm gradual production increase through July. Both WTI and Brent prices soared today, but pared some gains in the afternoon. Gold fell below $1900 an ounce for a while, but the price returned slightly above that threshold.
