Oil futures cleared the $70 mark once again, after July-dated crude added $2.35, or 3.4%, to close at $70.62 per barrel. These gains came on the back of optimistic demand signs out of China, as well as strengthening U.S. demand ahead of the summer season.

Gold prices rallied from earlier losses despite the Federal Reserve's "hawkish pause." August-dated gold gained $1.80, or 0.1%, to close at $1,970.70 an ounce today.
