SK Hynix plans to raise 40 trillion won in its ADR listing, up from 43 trillion won previously.July 10th - According to the Congressional Budget Offices "June 2026 Monthly Budget Review," the U.S. federal budget deficit for the first nine months of fiscal year 2026 totaled approximately $1.4 trillion, an increase of $35 billion compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. During the same period, federal revenue was $4.2 trillion, an increase of $142 billion, or 4%; expenditures were $5.5 trillion, an increase of $178 billion, or 3%.According to the Wall Street Journal, federal regulators are expected to certify the penultimate version of the Boeing 737 series later this month.On July 10, following the completion of its investigation, the United States decided to temporarily suspend tariffs on commercial aircraft, jet engines, and their components. President Trump instead instructed the government to negotiate with trading partners to adjust imports of these products. Previously, a report submitted by Commerce Secretary Rutnick concluded that imported commercial aircraft, jet engines, and related components posed a threat to U.S. national security. The findings of this investigation leave room for future tariffs—if the U.S. fails to reach an agreement with its trading partners to resolve the issue, Trump may take further tariff measures. According to a White House statement, if an agreement is not reached within 180 days, or if the agreement is deemed invalid, Trump "may also take other actions deemed necessary" to eliminate this threat.According to a document, the Sudanese military has set broadly acceptable conditions for the latest peace proposal from the United States demanding the withdrawal of the Rapid Support Force (RSF) from all occupied cities.

WTI struggles to prolong its two-day uptrend below $78, as negative sentiment undermines expectations for China-led oil demand

Following a two-day uptrend that reached the greatest levels in a fortnight, the price of WTI crude oil fluctuates between $77.80 and $90 early Thursday.

 

The recent struggles of the black gold may be related to the contradictory signals encircling China and the Oil equities. However, negative sentiment and the resurgence of the US Dollar appear to be the quote's greatest obstacles to the upside.

 

In addition, higher-than-anticipated US inventories weigh on the energy benchmark. The weekly data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) indicates a 1.165M increase in Oil inventories, compared to the expected 0.45M increase and the previous level of 7.648M.

 

The willingness of US President Joseph Biden to continue pumping the markets with the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) and the absence of offers for Russian Oil also exert downward pressure on the price of WTI crude oil.

 

The latest New York Times (NYT) headlines suggest a potential rift between the United States and China at the important event. According to the news, "China is urging the start of peace talks, and some Group of 20 nations may support that notion when they meet in India, but U.S. officials contend Russia would not negotiate in good faith."

 

It should be noted, however, that the recent uptick in China activity data and optimistic remarks from the dragon nation's policymakers keep black gold purchasers optimistic. China's Minister of Human Resources recently stated, "China's employment will continue to increase this year and remains stable overall." On Wednesday, China's Finance Minister Liu He expressed a willingness to increase the country's fiscal expenditure while noting that the foundation of China's economic recovery remains fragile.

 

However, hawkish remarks from policymakers of the US Federal Reserve (Fed), the Bank of England (BoE), and the European Central Bank (ECB) highlighted the need for additional rate hikes to combat inflation issues, which exerted downward pressure on the price of oil.

 

In response to these events, 10-year US Treasury bond yields surpassed 4% for the first time since early November 2022, while 2-year yields ascended to their highest levels since June 2007 by flashing 4.91%. The increase in US Treasury bond yields reflects the market's concerns, which in turn have impacted on bulls on Wall Street, S&P 500 Futures, and WTI bulls recently. Consequently, S&P 500 Futures were down 0.5 percent as of press time despite the varied closing of Wall Street benchmarks.

 

Moving on, G20 updates could be combined with comments from central bankers and secondary US data to amuse Oil traders.
