July 31 – Despite the disruption of approximately 500,000 barrels per day of production at ExxonMobil (XOM.N) due to the conflict with Iran, the company remains committed to its Middle East growth plans. Chief Financial Officer Neil Hansen stated, “We don’t make broad investment decisions based on today’s headlines. We can thrive in these kinds of environments and remain committed to our current and future investments in the region.” Before the outbreak of the war in late February, ExxonMobil’s combined crude oil production in the UAE and Qatar was equivalent to 900,000 barrels per day, accounting for about one-fifth of its global production, both of which have been severely impacted. Furthermore, two gas projects in Qatar in which ExxonMobil holds partial stakes were also severely damaged in the Iranian attacks, resulting in the suspension of approximately 450,000 barrels per day of production in Qatar and another 50,000 barrels per day in the UAE. Hansen stated that some of the company’s production in the UAE is currently stored in inventory awaiting the lifting of transportation restrictions. Hansen added, “We’ve noticed that some companies see the absence from such an important region as an advantage. We believe this view is very short-sighted and not in the best business interest.”The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating 1.2 million Tesla (TSLA.O) vehicles for suspension issues.According to CCTV: Li Qiang chaired an executive meeting of the State Council, which decided to approve four nuclear power projects, including the first phase of the Zhuanghe nuclear power project in Liaoning.According to CCTV: Li Qiang chaired an executive meeting of the State Council, which reviewed and approved the "Draft Decision of the State Council on Amending the Regulations on the Administration of Housing Provident Funds" and the "Draft Decision of the State Council on Amending and Repealing Some Administrative Regulations".According to CCTV: Li Qiang chaired an executive meeting of the State Council to study relevant work on the implementation of the health-first development strategy.

Amidst increasing Fed hawkish bets, the AUD/USD is anticipated to soar over 0.6880

The AUD/USD pair is first seeking to exceed the significant resistance level of 0.6850 since it is expected that the US dollar index (DXY), which was drained on Friday, would perform poorly going forward. The asset is seeking more gains, and greater upside will be due once it clears the important 0.6880 barrier.

 

Even if US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data is upbeat, dollar bulls are expected to do poorly. In June, the US economy added 372k jobs, well above the average estimate of 268k but falling short of the prior figure. The Unemployment Rate remained at 3.6 percent, the same as in the previous report and estimates. The US economy's superior performance on the job market will undoubtedly make it easier for the Federal Reserve (Fed) to announce large rate increases with less reluctance.

 

However, the drop in average hourly earnings (AHE) on Friday will be bad for the US economy. The economic data were 5,1% annually, which was higher than the forecast of 5% but lower than the prior estimate of 5,3%. Reduced AHE does not assist US families when the inflation rate is out of control. Reduced AHEs will have a significant influence on their revenue during times of increasing pricing pressure. The overall demand may go down as a result of this.

 

Investors are focusing on Thursday's release of the employment figures in Australia. It is projected that the Employment Change, which was previously published as 60,6K, will be substantially lower, at 25K. However, from the previously stated 3.9 percent, the jobless rate will drop to 3.8 percent.
