Market news: Samsung SDI has signed a 1.5 trillion won energy storage system battery agreement with a US company.March 16th - As soaring oil prices fueled investor concerns about inflation and economic growth risks, the U.S. Treasury market has erased all of its year-to-date gains. A Bloomberg U.S. Treasury performance indicator has turned negative year-to-date after falling 1.7% since the end of February. Stagflation fears have pushed up yields, forcing Wall Street to lower its expectations for U.S. interest rate cuts over the next year. Morgan Stanley strategist Bradley Tian and others stated, "Energy-driven inflation and policy uncertainty continue to put pressure on long-term U.S. Treasuries." Bonds in the U.S., Japan, and Australia have all fallen, and a global bond index has also wiped out its year-to-date gains. Bob Savage, head of macro strategy at BNY Mellon, said, "Geopolitical uncertainty and increased cross-asset volatility are likely to persist in the near term until markets develop confidence that the conflict with Iran is stabilizing."According to the Wall Street Journal, the CEOs of ExxonMobil, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips warned US President Trumps officials that a war with Iran disrupting the Strait of Hormuz would exacerbate the energy crisis.According to the Wall Street Journal, the oil industry warns that the energy crisis caused by the Trump administration is likely to worsen further.On March 16, the Peoples Bank of China (PBOC) announced that it will conduct 500 billion yuan of outright reverse repurchase operations today (March 16) through a fixed-quantity, interest rate bidding process with multiple price levels, for a term of six months (182 days).

During the Tokyo session, the silver price (XAG/USD) experienced a sharp decline to close to $21.55. The white metal fell like a house of cards as geopolitical tensions intensified the theme of risk aversion. Silver price is predicted to continue its downside momentum as the fears of a comeback in the United States inflation have joined the US-China tensions.

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) has rallied firmly to approximately 103.70 as the geopolitical tensions-inspired volatility has driven investors to hide behind safe-haven assets. The mood on the market has been dimmed by the US ambassador to China's warnings if Beijing chose to provide lethal military aid to Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. Additionally, three rockets from North Korea on Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) have poured fuel to the fire.

 

S&P500 futures have extended their losses as the resurgence of inflation fears in the United States has raised warning flags for the upcoming economic recovery. The Federal Reserve (Fed) might continue rising interest rates after a comeback in the prices of goods and services at the factory gates and a revival in consumer spending, expressed by positive Retail Sales statistics. Monday will be a holiday in the United States, so the financial markets will be closed.

 

Thursday's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) report will be closely scrutinized by investors for more advice. It is anticipated that the preliminary annualized GDP for the fourth quarter would remain unchanged at 2.9%.
