The Icelandic government summoned the U.S. ambassador to Iceland after Trump posted a map on social media that included Iceland within the U.S. territory.On September 8th, Futures News reported that Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria, and Oman reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining market stability, deciding to keep their daily crude oil production quotas for October at the same level determined in September 2026. OPEC+ will continue to hold monthly meetings to monitor market dynamics, with the next meeting scheduled for October 4th, 2026. Previously, the production quotas of these seven OPEC+ countries had increased for six consecutive months, and member countries are still working to determine new production quotas. During these six months, the organization gradually lifted production cuts, and the market still has sufficient capacity to absorb the increased oil supply. However, despite the significant increase in production quotas, the Strait of Hormuz is blocked due to the war between the US and Iran, and Russian crude oil exports are also restricted due to Western sanctions. In other words, since these seven countries crude oil is mainly for export, the increased quotas are meaningless given the export restrictions.September 8th - According to Irans Fars News Agency, the Saudi Ministry of Energy stated that Houthi armed forces launched attacks on energy facilities in southern Saudi Arabia early Tuesday morning, causing fires and temporarily halting operations at some facilities. The attacks reportedly targeted the Saudi Aramco oil refinery in Abha. Simultaneously, reports indicated an attack on Abha airport, and explosions were heard in several areas of southern Saudi Arabia. This is the third attack on Saudi oil facilities in less than 48 hours.September 8th - German exports unexpectedly declined in July, ending a five-month streak of growth and dampening hopes for a rapid recovery in Europes largest economy. German exports fell 0.8% month-on-month in July, contrary to economists previous forecasts of renewed growth. The German Federal Statistical Office said on Tuesday that the decline stemmed from a drop in exports to EU countries. Exports were the main driver of Germanys stronger-than-expected economic performance in the first half of the year. This prompted economists to raise their growth forecasts, with Bundesbank President Nagel previously stating that output could grow by 1% this year, double the rate predicted three months ago. Destatis data showed that exports to the US rose by more than 19% in July, while imports from the US declined. Total German imports also fell, widening the trade surplus to €21.3 billion ($24.8 billion).The most active liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) contract rose 4.00% intraday, currently trading at 6812.00 yuan/ton.

June E-mini NASDAQ-100 Index futures are down dramatically late in the session on Thursday, erasing the preceding session's rise in a shocking reversal that extends the market's losses in 2022. The move followed a significant stock market gain on Wednesday, with the NASDAQ Composite cash index rising 3.19 percent.


June E-mini NASDAQ-100 Index futures were trading at 12738.75 at 19:19 GMT, down 792.50 or -5.86 percent. The Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (QQQ) is down $19.08, or -5.79 percent, to $310.52.


Investor concerns that the Federal Reserve's rate rise would not be enough to keep inflation under control, requiring the Fed to become more aggressive, sparked the sell-off.


Large tech stocks were under pressure, with Meta Platforms, which is owned by Facebook, and Amazon falling 5.8% and 7.1 percent, respectively. Microsoft's stock fell 4.7 percent.

Technical Analysis of the Daily Swing Chart

According to the daily swing chart, the major trend is down. The return of the decline will be signaled by a trade through 12709.75. The primary trend will turn to up if 13555.25 is crossed.

13583.75 to 12709.75 is the minor range. The market is now trading below its pivot around 13146.75, which is the closest barrier.

Short-Term Prospects

Trader response to the pivot at 13146.75 will decide the direction of the June E-mini NASDAQ-100 Index into Thursday's closing.

Bearish Prospects

The presence of sellers will be shown by a persistent move below 13146.75. Look for a test of the major bottom around 12709.75 if this develops enough negative momentum.


Taking out 12709.75 might set off a sell-off, with the primary bottom at 12179.50 on March 5, 2021 being the next significant target.

Positive Outlook

Late in the session, overtaking the pivot at 13146.75 will signify the return of buyers. This might result in a price increase from 13555.25 to 13583.75. If this region is broken, an acceleration to the upside is possible, with 13989.25 being the next major upside objective.
