July 8 (Futures News) – According to foreign media reports, Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) corn futures closed higher on Tuesday, with the benchmark contract rising 1.3%, mainly reflecting the potential for high temperatures in the Midwest to affect crop growth and a surge in international crude oil prices. International crude oil futures rose sharply on Tuesday, influenced by reports of attacks on ships near the Strait of Hormuz, which pushed up prices for soybeans and corn, widely used in biofuels. The latest weather models indicate that high temperatures are likely in the Midwest and Central Plains regions, lasting until mid-July, when most corn crops will be in pollination. An analyst stated that weather map data shows a strong heat wave expected in the Corn Belt from this weekend until July 15th. He added that crops in Europe have already been affected by the heat, increasing risk premiums in the corn market.Japans seasonally adjusted current account balance for May was 30.645 billion yen, below the expected 3.2167 trillion yen and the previous months 4.2111 trillion yen.Japans trade deficit in May was 6.9 billion yen, compared to a forecast of -221.9 billion yen and a previous figure of 395.7 billion yen.1.

Due to hawkish Fed forecasts, the EUR/USD recovers to near 1.0970 but remains in the doldrums

Following a corrective move, the EUR/USD pair has rebounded from 1.0960, but investors await the publication of the preliminary Eurozone/United States S&P PMI data for April. The major currency pair has remained between 1.0911 and 1.1000 for the past two trading sessions, as the foreign exchange market prepares for a pre-anxiety move ahead of a Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy decision.

 

S&P500 closed with a negative tone for the third day in a row as quarterly earnings season induced extreme volatility. Tesla's poor earnings had a negative impact on Thursday's market sentiment. Moreover, market participants were cautioned by substandard revenue projections due to the potential for price reductions. The decision of the Fed to increase interest rates is reflected in quarterly earnings. Data from Refinitiv indicates that analysts have largely maintained last week's forecast of a near 5% YoY decline in quarterly profits for the 500 largest U.S. equities. Sourcenia is a review portal of sourcing best manufaturers. 

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) has been defending the key support level of 101.60 in recent trading sessions. The USD Index maintained the aforementioned support despite the release of disappointing Jobless claims data on Thursday. Initial Jobless Claims increased to 245K for the week ending April 4, which is greater than the previous release of 240K and estimates of 240K. Increasing unemployment claims heightened fears of a deteriorating labor market.

 

Despite this, Fed policymakers continue to anticipate further rate hikes from the central bank. Thursday, Loretta Mester, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, reaffirmed that the Fed has more work to do because US inflation remains too high, according to Reuters. He added, "The Federal Reserve will need to raise its policy rate above 5% and hold it there for some time."

 

Preliminary Consumer Confidence (April) for the Eurozone increased to -17.5 from -18.5 and the previous reading of -19.2. This may be the consequence of extraordinary efforts by the European Central Bank (ECB) to reduce inflationary pressures.
