Futures News, August 4th: Following the easing of tensions between the US and Iran, crude oil prices declined, dragging down fuel oil costs and prompting downstream traders to adopt a cautious approach to high-priced purchases. Today, the news regarding low-sulfur asphalt futures offered limited support, but on the supply and demand side, increased coking plant operating rates and reduced residual oil supply provided some support to the market. It is expected that domestic fuel oil negotiations will remain largely stable today, with some potential for price reductions to encourage increased supply.According to JLC Network Technologys calculations, as of the second working day of August 4th, the average price of benchmark crude oil was $84.73 per barrel, with a change rate of -5.23%. Domestic gasoline and diesel retail prices should be reduced by 240 yuan per ton. The adjustments are based on: 1. the domestic crude oil import structure and settlement benchmark varieties; 2. the possibility of slight adjustments based on import structure and other factors during the pricing mechanisms operation, which JLC Network Technology will revise accordingly; 3. at 24:00 on July 31st, domestic gasoline and diesel retail prices were increased by 685 and 655 yuan per ton respectively. Based on the "ten working days" principle, the adjustment window for this round is 24:00 on August 14th.As of 8:30 on August 4, 2026, WTI crude oil, Brent crude oil and other commodities saw the largest fluctuations.

S&P 500 Price Forecast – Stock Markets Give Up Early Gains

Technical Analysis of the S&P 500

Initially attempting to rise during Wednesday's trading session, the S&P 500 eventually gave up gains and lost momentum due to the thin markets' lack of current interest. The 3800 level underneath should be sustained, but if we decline below that, it would be possible to slide considerably lower, maybe as low as the 3700 level.


At this point, rallies ought to be fading, therefore the 3900 level and the 50-Day EMA can serve as a ceiling from which to resume shorting. When signs of fatigue start to surface, they will be pounced on, and I won't think twice about shorting them. Because of this, I believe that the market will continue to be negative, although it's possible that unreliable money managers may attempt to pad their books towards the end of the year. This is a frequent occurrence since they must at least demonstrate to their customers that they possess the "proper stocks."


It appears like Wall Street will sometimes need a reminder that the Federal Reserve is dead serious, which is an issue that the Federal Reserve itself caused by coddling traders for 14 years, so I believe it's just a matter of time until we continue to go lower. In light of this, I am prepared to short this market gradually during rallies and when it begins to show symptoms of tiredness. However, at this time of year, I am not expecting for large swings, so you must see this through the lens of short-term trading.
