Piper Jaffray: Raises its price target for Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO.N) from $510 to $600.On July 27th, according to foreign media reports, Malaysian palm oil futures prices fell on Monday, after reaching their highest level in 15 weeks in the previous trading session. The market was under pressure due to declines in the prices of competing oils and crude oil. The October palm oil futures contract fell 39 ringgit, or 0.83%, to 4,683 ringgit per metric tonne (approximately US$1,147.79). The US and Iran suspended military operations over the weekend following two weeks of continuous attacks. This news raised hopes for a diplomatic solution to de-escalate the conflict and allow shipping to resume in the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices consequently fell by 5%. Weaker crude oil futures reduced the attractiveness of palm oil as a feedstock for biodiesel. Soybean oil futures on the Dalian Commodity Exchange fell 0.99%; palm oil futures fell 1.35%. Soybean oil futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange fell 1.36%. According to ITS estimates, Malaysian palm oil product exports increased by 15.9% from July 1st to 25th compared to the previous month.

During the Asian session, in response to negative signals from the US dollar index, the USD/JPY pair plunged below 146.00. (DXY). Following Wednesday's low of 146.22, the asset's two-day downward trend has extended. The main index is reaching the bottom of Monday's knee-jerk reaction near 145.77 as it continues to decline.

 

The dollar bears are facing a severe sell-off due to the positive market sentiment. The risk-sensitive currencies have benefited from an increase in risk appetite. The US dollar index (DXY) has struck a new monthly low of 109.56 and is anticipated to stay volatile until the release of crucial US economic data.

 

The increased demand for U.S. government bonds has resulted in a decline in yields. This is due to the global markets' increased confidence. The yield on 10-year United States Treasury notes has decreased to 4%.

 

According to estimates, the Gross Domestic Product of the United States expanded by 2.4% in the third quarter. Despite the ultra-hawkish monetary policies of the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the previously disclosed 0.6% fall in growth, forecasts indicate a positive growth rate.

 

In addition, US Durable Goods Orders data will continue to be a key point. Compared to a reduction of 0.2%, it is projected that economic statistics will increase by 0.6%. Notable is the increase in core inflation, which includes oil and food prices. In spite of this, the predicted increase in demand for durable goods in the United States demonstrates healthy household demand.

 

Investors in Tokyo are anticipating the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) interest rate decision on Friday. In view of the shocks to foreign demand, BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda will continue an ultra-loose monetary policy to stimulate the outlook for economic development. In addition, Japanese policymakers are anxious that the inflation rate could go below 2%; hence, an extremely liberal policy is the best alternative.
