BLBG: Oil Gains Lift U.S. Stocks as Pound Down on Brexit: Markets Wrap
 
Dollar and crude advance; Treasuries rise as gold steady
South African rand pares drop on support for finance minister

Oil extended gains after inventories rose less than forecast, giving U.S. stocks a boost in efforts to add to the biggest rally in two weeks. The pound weakened as the U.K. started its exit from the EU.

The S&P 500 Index reached highs of the day after government data sent U.S. crude above $49 a barrel. Treasuries rose as the Trump administration battled to revive its legislative agenda, while the pound fell after Britain formally triggered its exit from the European Union. The South African rand trimmed its decline as political wrangling roiled local markets.

Global stocks remain on course for a fifth straight month of gains as the reflation trade triggered by Trump’s election proves its resilience. Stronger growth -- from the world’s biggest economy to developing nations -- has helped underpin the rally, even amid doubts about the president’s ability to enact pro-growth policies. Federal Reserve officials continue to make the case for two more rate hikes in 2017.

“Trump and markets are moving on, with the help of better U.S. data,” Societe Generale SA strategists, led by Ciaran O’Hagan, wrote in a client note, referring to the rebound in risk appetite after last week’s failed health-care bill curbed reflation bets.

Markets showed little reaction to the U.K.’s formal triggering of Brexit as the move had been broadly telegraphed. Still, the divorce will redefine the country’s relationship with its largest trading partner and end decades of deepening political integration on the continent.
