On May 27th, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) kept the Official Cash Rate (OCR) unchanged at 2.25%, but ANZ Bank stated that the RBNZ is "clearly very inclined to raise rates." The vote was a 3-3 tie, with RBNZ Governor Brehman casting the deciding vote. The released interest rate path chart shows that the OCR will rise faster than expected in February. ANZ Bank stated that the chart implies a very high probability of consecutive rate hikes at the RBNZs next three meetings. ANZ Banks Chief Economist for New Zealand, Sharon Zollner, said, "We still expect three rate hikes this year, in July, September, and October." She added, "We remain open to the possibility that the OCR needs to rise above 3%, but there are many variables to observe before that happens."On May 27, local time, a spokesperson for Irans Civil Aviation Organization stated that Tabriz International Airport, which was attacked in the recent conflict, has resumed operations after repairs by Iranian technicians and reopened on the 27th.

In a risk-on environment with a weaker US dollar, WTI consolidates weekly losses above $83,000

The price of WTI crude oil is higher for the second day in a row while paring the weekly losses at the eight-month low on Friday during the Asian session. However, by the time of publication, the black gold has reached a new intraday high of around $83.50.

 

Recent news reports from the US Treasury Department regarding the oil price cap appear to have helped drive up energy prices together with stronger sentiment and a weaker US dollar. According to the US Treasury source, "the oil price cap should be set above the marginal production cost, taking into account past Russian oil prices."

 

In other news, stronger sentiment and slow US Treasury yields cause the US Dollar Index (DXY) to fall intraday by 0.55%, to 109.05 at the latest. It's interesting to see that after a solid day, the US 10-year Treasury yields are still stuck around 3.32%, while the S&P 500 Futures tracks Wall Street's gains at approximately 4,020.

 

Recent market sentiment appeared to be aided by remarks made by US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, which suggested that trade relations between the US and China were set to improve. The market's attitude also appeared to have been aided by recently stronger US statistics and expectations that global central bankers will be able to offset the shock caused by inflation with a comprehensive strategy and higher rates. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) article, on the other hand, raises some concerns about the future of China's technological enterprises and casts some doubt on the optimism.

 

A price document examined by Reuters on Friday revealed that Kuwait has decreased the official selling prices for its oil grades for the month of October from the previous month. Before the present program ends in October, US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said the administration of US President Joe Biden is considering whether additional releases of crude oil from the country's emergency stockpiles are necessary. Prior to that, a Department of Energy official reportedly told Reuters that the White House was only considering releasing the 180 million barrels from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) that the president had already stated.

 

It should be highlighted that the recent decline in China's inflation data, coupled with the hawkish central bank activities, presents a challenge to oil purchasers. Both China's Producer Price Index (PPI) and Consumer Price Index (CPI) show unfavorable results for August. However, compared to 2.8% market expectations and 2.7% in the prior year, the headline CPI declined to 2.5% YoY, and the PPI fell to 2.3% from 3.1% projected and 4.2% in the preceding year.
