U.S. Agriculture Secretary Rawlings: More announcements related to increased fertilizer shipments will be released.March 22 – The Australian government stated on the 22nd that although fuel imports have been impacted by the conflict with Iran, supplies remain sufficient and there are no plans for rationing. Regarding the panic buying of gasoline in a few areas, the government urged the public to refuel rationally. Australian Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen said in a television interview that as of the 21st, the countrys reserves of petrol, diesel, and aviation fuel were sufficient for 38 days, 30 days, and 30 days respectively, and fuel supplies remained "strong."Market news: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have made large-scale purchases of mortgage-backed securities.March 22 - Iranian President Ayatollah Peschizian posted on social media this evening (March 22), stating that "attempts to wipe Iran off the map are a desperate trampling on the will of a nation that makes history. Threats and intimidation will only strengthen Irans unity. The Strait of Hormuz is open to everyone except those who violate Iranian territory. Iran will resolutely confront these insane threats on the battlefield."On March 22, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessenter defended the U.S. and Israels attacks on Iranian infrastructure, claiming that "sometimes you have to escalate to de-escalate." This came shortly after Trump gave Iran 48 hours to open the Strait of Hormuz and threatened to destroy its power plants. Bessenter defended Trumps remarks, saying it was "the only language the Iranians understand." Bessenter also addressed Kharg Island, a key hub for Iranian oil production, claiming that "all options are being considered," including sending U.S. troops to control the island. Bessenter further defended the decision to ease some sanctions on Iran, claiming it was a "soft approach" to the Iranians—using their own oil to retaliate against them.

U.S. Senate to hold FTX hearing on Dec. 1, CFTC chairman to testify

The U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee on Thursday said it will hold a hearing on Dec. 1 to examine the sudden collapse of FTX, one of the world’s biggest crypto exchanges.


FTX filed for bankruptcy on Nov. 11, leaving an estimated 1 million customers and other investors facing billions of dollars in total losses. The firm’s failure has created a liquidity crunch that has rippled across the industry and sent the prices of bitcoin and other digital assets plummeting.


Rostin Behnam, the chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, is the first witness named for the hearing, titled, “Why Congress Needs to Act: Lessons Learned from the FTX Collapse.”


U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee Chair Debbie Stabenow also on Thursday called on Congress to pass the bipartisan Digital Commodities Consumer Protection Act, which she said, “would have prohibited the misconduct and risky behavior undertaken by FTX.”


The U.S. House Financial Services Committee has also said it plans to hold a hearing in December to investigate FTX’s collapse.
