Israels Ministry of Finance: Israels budget surplus in January was 16.9 billion shekels.Chart: Overview of European market conditions on Monday, February 9, 2026February 9th - Russian crude oil production declined for the second consecutive month in January due to difficulties in selling its crude oil due to US sanctions. According to sources, Russia averaged 9.28 million barrels per day of crude oil production last month, excluding condensate production. This figure is 46,000 barrels per day lower than the already declining level in December, and nearly 300,000 barrels per day lower than the production allowed under Russias OPEC+ agreement. Amid the decline in Russian crude oil production, the amount of Russian oil stored on tankers continues to grow, indicating that some cargoes are taking longer to find buyers amid increasing US pressure on Russia. Earlier this month, US President Trump stated that he had lifted the additional 25% tariffs imposed on India in exchange for New Delhi ceasing its oil purchases from Russia. As of early February, the amount of Russian crude oil stockpiled at sea had reached 143 million barrels, almost double that of a year ago and more than a quarter higher than in late November.On February 9th, the Securities Association of China recently issued a notice within the industry regarding typical problems discovered during a joint on-site inspection of securities firms ethical conduct and investment banking fees in 2025.

The recall number is S2026M0023V: Starting March 6, 2026, a total of 38,277 Jike 001WE version vehicles manufactured between July 8, 2021 and March 18, 2024 will be recalled. Due to manufacturing inconsistencies in the high-voltage power battery components, prolonged use in some vehicles within this recall scope may cause an abnormal increase in the internal resistance of the power battery, potentially leading to a decline in the performance of some power batteries. In extreme cases, this could result in thermal runaway of the power battery, posing a safety hazard.

The US Dollar Index is trying to regain 109 ahead of US Durable Goods Orders data from Jackson Hole

As traders wait for the day's significant triggers amid a sluggish opening, the US Dollar Index (DXY) continues its rise toward the multi-year high established in July, adding bids to 108.60 in the Asian session on Wednesday.

 

The dollar index dropped from a multi-year high of 109.27 against the six major currencies the day before yesterday. While the present downturn in US data is driving the quote to retreat, the DXY bulls are supported by concerns of an economic slowdown and the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) quick rate hikes.

 

The president of the Minneapolis Fed, Neel Kashkari, was quoted by Reuters as saying that misreading the underlying inflation dynamics is the biggest worry. If the Fed sees inflation creeping closer to their target of 2%, they may slow their rate of rate hikes, according to the official.

 

However, traders in fed funds futures are pricing in a 52.5% chance of a rate hike of 75 basis points (bps) at the upcoming Fed meeting. On Monday, Reuters reported that a rate hike of 50 basis points in September was somewhat more likely than 50 percent.

 

Preliminary readings released on Tuesday by the US S&P Global Manufacturing PMI for August showed a decline to 51.3 from 52.0 expected and 52.2 earlier, while the Services index plunged to 44.1 from 47.3 compared to 49.2 market expectations. As reported by S&P Global, the Composite PMI has fallen to 45, the lowest level in 27 months, signaling a potential crisis for the US economy.

 

In addition, the number of newly constructed homes sold in the United States dropped to 0.511 million in July, down from 0.585 million the previous month and 0.575 million the market had predicted. The US Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index dropped to -8.0 in August from a reading of 0.0 the month before.

 

At press time, US 10-year Treasury rates were lingering at 3.05%, the highest level in a month, despite small advances for the day on Wall Street. S&P 500 Futures have been declining somewhat as of press time, which is notable.

 

DXY volatility may be constrained in the future by the light schedule preceding the North American session. Next, keep an eye on the US Durable Goods Orders for July, which are predicted to rise 0.6% after rising 2.0% in June. As markets try to predict the Fed's next move, Friday's speech by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell at the Jackson Hole conference hosted by the Kansas City Fed will be crucial.

 

DXY bears are threatened by a rising support line that has been in place for two weeks near 108.00, but the buyers won't be convinced until the uptrend is confirmed above 109.30.
