May 14 - According to Chadian media reports on May 13, a fire broke out at a fuel depot in Abeyche, the capital of the Vadai region in eastern Chad, on the evening of May 12, injuring more than 200 people. The Chadian News Agency reported that the fire occurred in the southern part of Abeyche. According to the Vadai regions health department, medical institutions have treated 206 injured people, and 53 are still under medical observation. The report stated that Chadian Deputy Prime Minister Limana Mohamed has led government officials to the scene to assess the damage and has ordered the local government to relocate all oil depots located in the city to the suburbs within 10 days.On May 14th, Futures News reported that crude oil prices rose for the third consecutive day on Wednesday. The current change rate narrowed, and refineries, facing significant losses, showed a strong willingness to maintain prices. However, crude oil prices declined during the session, leading to caution in the market. Gasoline rose by approximately 50 yuan/ton, and diesel by 20-50 yuan/ton. Terminal buyers focused on digesting existing inventory and purchasing only as needed, resulting in a flat trading atmosphere. The gasoline production-to-sales ratio was 70%, and the diesel production-to-sales ratio was 71%. Major oil companies prioritized sales, with listed prices rising slightly in tandem, while actual transaction discounts were offered. The average price of 0# diesel was 7833 yuan/ton, up 77 yuan/ton from the beginning of the week; 92# gasoline was 8771 yuan/ton, up 42 yuan/ton, narrowing the gap with independent refineries. Looking ahead, the change rate remains in negative territory, and with the month approaching its middle, major oil companies are likely to promote sales to boost volume. The market may consolidate sideways in the short term, with sporadic localized weakening. Industry data shows that since the beginning of this year, the retail price limit for gasoline has been raised multiple times, gradually increasing the cost of using gasoline vehicles and reducing the enthusiasm for driving. In April, gasoline consumption decreased by 19.3% month-on-month and 21.08% year-on-year. Meanwhile, new energy vehicles are developing rapidly, with sales increasing significantly year-on-year and ownership increasing by 33.8% year-on-year. The penetration rate has once again exceeded 53%, and in April, new energy vehicles accounted for 29.54% of gasoline consumption.Dallas Fed President Logan, a 2026 FOMC voting member, will participate in a dialogue about the energy industry in ten minutes.GameStop (GME.N) CEO: eBays board should not have dismissed the acquisition proposal so easily without a thorough discussion of its substance. eBay shareholders should have the opportunity to evaluate the acquisition offer.

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.
