Futures News, April 29th: Positive news has boosted market confidence in fuel oil prices. Downstream traders are maintaining their inventory levels to meet pre-holiday demand, resulting in relatively active purchasing. Some refineries have seen significant inventory reductions. With favorable news and supply-demand factors, fuel oil trading is expected to remain stable in some areas today, while others may see slight increases.According to Futures News on April 29, as of 8:30 AM Beijing time, spot platinum rose 0.09% and spot palladium fell 0.12%.Note: The Tokyo Stock Exchange is closed today.Futures News, April 29th - According to foreign media reports, palm oil futures on the Malaysian Derivatives Exchange (BMD) are likely to open higher on Wednesday morning, following gains in external markets. International crude oil futures continued to rise on Tuesday, gaining nearly 3%, due to ongoing concerns about supply constraints caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. This, coupled with a firm rise in Chicago soybean oil futures, will boost the early performance of Malaysian crude palm oil futures. However, weak palm oil export demand will limit the upward momentum. The Indian Refiners Association (SEA) stated that increased biodiesel production in global palm oil exporting countries, diverting more palm oil for domestic energy use, will lead to a reduction in export supply.On April 29th, Futures News reported that Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) corn futures closed higher on Tuesday, with the benchmark contract rising 1.3%, primarily due to stronger international crude oil futures, robust corn demand, and the possibility that rainfall in the Midwest might slow spring planting. Traders stated that continued rainfall in the US Corn Belt, strong corn export demand, and rising crude oil prices supported corn prices. High fertilizer costs are expected to lead farmers to reduce corn planting area, which also supported corn futures prices. Soybean and corn planting in the US is progressing well, but storms in the Midwest may delay planting in some areas. A report from the US Department of Agriculture showed that as of Sunday, US corn planting progress was 25%, well above the five-year average of 19%. The report also showed that among the 18 major producing states, only North Dakota has not yet made any progress in planting.

S&P 500 Gains Ground Ahead Of CPI Data

At the beginning of the week, stocks rise

As traders got ready for tomorrow's CPI report, the S&P 500 crept closer to the 3960 mark. The tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite was up by 0.35% in the meanwhile.


Energy stock rebounds are the main factor today. WTI oil was able to surpass the $73 mark as markets concentrated on the Keystone pipeline interruption. In today's trading, APA Corporation, EQT Corporation, and Schlumberger are all up 3–4%.


Even while Treasury yields have increased, tech stocks are also increasing. Although Microsoft is up approximately 2% today, the recovery in tech equities is mainly among the companies with smaller market capitalization.


As traders continue to be concerned about declining demand for the company's products, Tesla is among the worst losers today. Currently, Tesla stock is attempting to hit the $166 level, which marks the yearly lows.


The fact that the CPI report is being issued tomorrow before the Fed Interest Rate Decision suggests that it will have a significant effect on the market. Analysts anticipate that November's inflation rate will drop from 7.7% in October to 7.3%. Data on inflation will have a significant impact on the market, and traders should be ready for quick changes.
