May 3 - A draft OPEC+ statement indicates that seven OPEC+ countries have agreed to raise their June oil production target by approximately 188,000 barrels per day, marking the third consecutive month of increases. This move aims to demonstrate the organizations readiness to increase supply after the war. Sources say that despite the UAEs withdrawal from the organization this week, OPEC+ will continue to pursue its production increase plan. The seven member countries meeting on Sunday are Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Oman. A report from OPEC last month stated that the average daily crude oil production of all OPEC+ members in March was 35.06 million barrels, a decrease of 7.7 million barrels per day from February, with Iraq and Saudi Arabia experiencing the largest production cuts due to export restrictions.

Following a test of the two-year bottom at 1.1845 the day before, GBP/USD bears tinker with the 1.1900 level during Tuesday's Asian session. Recent losses for the Cable pair may be related to British political developments and concerns of a recession.

 

Following Boris Johnson's ouster, a number of well-known British officials are vying for the presidency, including former chancellor Rishi Sunak, foreign secretary Liz Truss, and current UK finance minister Nadhim Zahawi. Although Brexit is the main element supporting the candidate, tax cuts are being emphasized as the promise to win over supporters.

 

According to a survey of the retail sector, which was released on Tuesday by Reuters, British customers cut down on their purchases for the third month in a row, and sales volumes fell by the most since the COVID-19 outbreak.

 

The Bank of England's Andrew Bailey told Reuters that "the United Kingdom is facing a very substantial real income shock." Due to the nation's economic unease, the news also puts negative pressure on the GBP/USD exchange rate.

 

On a larger scale, fears of an economic downturn were exacerbated by historically high US inflation forecasts and comments from US leaders foreseeing future suffering, which fueled the risk-averse mood and pulled down the GBP/USD currency rate. Despite this, a research by the New York Federal Reserve found that one-year inflation estimates in the US rose to a record high of 6.8 percent in June from 6.6 percent in May. Expectations of Fed aggression, which were earlier reinforced by the most recent US job statistics, are another factor adding to the market doom. While the unemployment rate held stable at 3.6 percent, the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) expanded by 372K in June, above projections of 268K and a downward adjustment of 384K.

 

In this setting, equities continued to decline, while US Treasury rates showed no signs of abating. S&P 500 Futures also keep an eye on Wall Street losses as of publication.

 

For traders of the GBP/USD pair, Governor Bailey of the Bank of England's second round of testimony will be essential. However, risk factors including political events and inflationary concerns will be the major emphasis.
