Talking Points:
Gold prices erase gains as selloff resumes as markets weigh Italy vote
Crude oil prices rise with stocks in market-wide risk appetiterecovery
US ISM data may cap WTI rally as US Dollar gains on Fed outlook

Crude oil has falling in with other sentiment-linked and cycle-sensitive assets, following shares higher. Gains may be relatively capped if upbeat ISM data boosts the US Dollar, driving a further steepening of the projected Fed rate hike path and applying de-facto pressure on the USD-denominated WTI contract.
