Ukrainian President Zelensky: It is too early to draw conclusions based on todays discussions.Sources say that protests by contractors have disrupted access roads to the Escondida and Saldivar copper mines in Chile.On January 24th, according to foreign media reports, a core group of political parties in the European Union is demanding that EU banking and market regulators, while fulfilling their supervisory responsibilities in the financial sector, should take into account the EUs declining industrial competitiveness. This call comes as the EU is undertaking a comprehensive revision of its financial regulatory framework. A document shows that the European Peoples Party (EPP), the largest group in the European Parliament and a center-right bloc, stated that "to help the EU achieve its broader economic growth goals," the scope of responsibilities for regulators should be broadened to explicitly include competitiveness as a consideration. These requirements would apply to all institutions responsible for supervising the EUs banking, securities, and insurance sectors. The Christian Democratic Union (CDU), led by German Chancellor Merz, has also joined the call for reduced regulatory burdens. Merz stated frankly in a meeting with banking officials last year that current EU financial regulations are "too stringent."January 24th - According to foreign media reports, the Mexican government is reassessing its decision to continue oil shipments to Cuba due to rising concerns about potential US retaliation or increased diplomatic pressure. The government of Mexican President Sinbaum believes that continuing fuel supplies to Cuba could trigger retaliatory measures or diplomatic pressure from the United States. Cuba faced severe energy shortages and frequent power outages after Venezuelan crude oil exports to Cuba were disrupted. Subsequently, Mexico became one of Cubas major oil suppliers, which the Mexican government describes as humanitarian aid and says is in line with long-standing bilateral agreements. Although the specific scale of shipments is not transparent, these supplies have significantly improved Cubas ability to obtain fuel.Sources say Mexico is assessing whether to halt oil shipments to Cuba due to fears of U.S. retaliation.

WTI struggles to surpass $85.00 despite the fact that hurricane Fiona and US President Biden favor bulls

After declining for three consecutive weeks, WTI crude oil prices posted modest gains around $85.30 during Monday's Asian session as traders prepared for the Fed's monetary policy decision. In addition to price-positive news from China and the United States concerning Hurricane Fiona, the price of black gold remains positive. In addition, statements from Vice President Joe Biden appeared to have supported oil prices during a lackluster session.

 

Recent information from the National Hurricane Core (NHC) indicates that the center of hurricane Fiona will approach the northern shore of the Dominican Republic tonight. The Reuters update also stated, "Hurricane Fiona is currently traveling west of Puerto Rico and is headed for the eastern Dominican Republic, producing devastating flooding."

 

The news that Dalian, a city in the Chinese province of Liaoning, will remove the citywide lockdown on Monday also seems to have supported the WTI recovery. On the same line, US President Biden is quoted as saying, "I'm more positive than I've been in a very long time." The national leader also claimed that inflation will be brought under control.

 

Nonetheless, the oil bears are optimistic due to the Fed's hawkish wagers and the economic concerns emanating from China and Europe. Initial September Consumer Sentiment readings from the University of Michigan came in at 59.5, up from 58.6 the previous month but below market expectations of 60.0. With the stronger US statistics, the probability of a 75 basis point (bps) rate hike by the Federal Reserve increased to over 80%, or 82% at the time of publication, while the market's estimates of a complete one percentage point increase in the Fed rate jumped to 18%.

 

In the future, demand concerns are likely to continue exerting downside pressure on the energy market, despite the fact that the absence of important data/events on Monday and hurricane updates are likely to assist the black gold in recouping recent losses.
