Investing premarket in today’s investing premarket snapshot

In today’s investing premarket snapshot, industrial metals bounce sharply, hinting at stronger manufacturing output forecasts. This shift bolsters cyclical sectors in futures trading, attracting fresh institutional inflows. The case for XRP is that as financial institutions adopt Ripple's payment solutions, it will drive demand for XRP. On RippleNet, a blockchain payments network, XRP provides On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) for banks that need it. Instead of holding foreign currencies in pre-funded accounts, banks can convert their national currency to XRP to send international payments on RippleNet. The recipient can then convert the XRP to their own currency. Numbers in today’s investing premarket tape suggest steady upside for all main benchmarks, with breadth ratios favoring advancers. Potential catalysts include key Fed member comments scheduled for later in the day. Market participants monitor inflation expectations closely to determine if the rally can extend into next week.
