Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov: The Russian Federation has completely liberated Konstantinovka (located in the central Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine).July 4th - A Reuters survey showed that OPEC crude oil production rebounded sharply in June, increasing by approximately 3.3 million barrels per day to 19.43 million barrels per day, a significant rebound from the more than two-decade low reached in May, but still far below quota levels. This production increase was mainly driven by the resumption of supply from Gulf countries, with Kuwait seeing the largest increase, followed by Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. Nigeria and Libya also saw slight increases in production. The UAE withdrew from OPEC on May 1st and is no longer included in the statistics. The report noted that the previous war with Iran and the de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz had caused supply disruptions, but the subsequent lifting of restrictions on ships at Iranian ports by the United States helped to restore some production. Although OPEC+ had planned to increase production in June, it could not be fully implemented due to the war. Overall, global crude oil supply is recovering, but has not yet returned to normal levels.Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf: The United States must "accept the established realities in the trade arena."Hang Seng Index futures closed down 0.2% at 23,253 points in overnight trading, a discount of 97 points.On July 4th, Labour politician Andy Burnham stated that if he succeeds Starmer as Prime Minister, he will not dissolve Parliament early and call a new general election. Instead, he will continue to implement Labours campaign promises from the 2024 general election, including maintaining the triple lock on pensions. He also outlined several policy positions: advocating for stronger regulation in the public service sector, even considering nationalization in some industries; supporting further improvements in UK-EU relations; willing to negotiate with countries including Afghanistan to repatriate rejected asylum seekers; supporting electoral reform; ensuring adequate funding for defense investment programs; and explicitly stating continued firm support for Ukraine. If the party nomination proceeds smoothly and without competition, he could become Labour leader in mid-July and subsequently become Prime Minister.

USD/CAD sees bids near 1.3500 on a risk aversion theme, as oil looks to retake $80.00

After slipping to about 1.3500 in the early Asian session, the USD/CAD pair has gained purchasing activity. The Canadian currency has risen as the risk-aversion theme takes pace over the tumultuous holiday week. After exhibiting a significant decrease on Tuesday, the major currency has shown signs of recovery as rising oil prices have boosted the Canadian Dollar.

 

Due to the absence of trustworthy triggers for decisive currency market changes, the risk profile is highly uncertain. In addition, the market sentiment was unaffected by China's decision to loosen restrictions on outbound tourists. On Tuesday, the S&P 500 remained under pressure as tech-savvy corporations under significant heat. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has gone flat near 103.80 after failing to surpass the crucial 104.00 resistance level.

 

In the meantime, the US Treasury bonds are affected by the risk aversion theme triggered by illiquid markets due to the holiday week. The yields on 10-year US Treasuries have increased to roughly 3.85%.

 

The Canadian Dollar hogged the focus on rising oil prices. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures have dipped little but have continued their upside trajectory and are forecast to recapture the critical resistance of $80.00 led by rising supply worries and China’s progress towards reopening of the economy despite a surge in Covid cases.

 

After Russian President Vladimir Putin signed an order restricting the sale of Russian oil to countries that implemented the oil price ceiling, supply concerns intensified.

 

Thomas M. Mertens, a researcher from the Economic Research Department of the Federal Reserve (Fed) Bank of San Francisco, created a recession predictor based on macroeconomic time series, especially the unemployed unemployment rate. He claimed that no forecasts today predict an approaching recession in the following two quarters. Moreover, the unemployment rate does not yet signal an imminent recession.
