Israel Prison Service: Release of 1,968 prisoners completed.On October 13th, OPEC said on Monday it maintained its forecast for global crude oil demand growth this year and next, and expected the market supply gap to narrow significantly in 2026 as OPEC+ accelerates its production increases. OPEC+ recently increased its crude oil supply efforts following the groups decision to roll back some production cuts more quickly than originally planned. OPEC reported on Monday that while crude oil demand is expected to remain stable, OPEC+ increased its production by 630,000 barrels per day (bpd) in September to 43.05 million bpd, reflecting the implementation of previously approved production quotas. Reuters calculations based on the report indicate that if OPEC+ maintains its September production level, average demand for OPEC+ crude oil will be approximately 43.1 million bpd, implying a global oil market supply deficit of only 50,000 bpd. By comparison, last months report indicated a projected supply deficit of 700,000 bpd in 2026 if production remained at August levels.OPEC Monthly Report: Secondary data showed that Libyas crude oil production increased by 19,000 barrels per day to 1.318 million barrels per day in September.OPEC Monthly Report: Secondary data shows that Congos crude oil production increased by 1,000 barrels per day to 260,000 barrels per day in September.OPEC Monthly Report: Secondary data shows that Iraqs crude oil production increased by 65,000 barrels per day to 4.066 million barrels per day in September.

Forecast for the price of gold: XAU/USD fluctuates around $1,810 as attention turns to Fed policy

In the Tokyo session, the spot price of gold (XAU/USD) is fluctuating around the $1,810.00 immediate support. The price of the precious metal dropped after hitting a new five-month high on Tuesday at $1,824.51. After the publication of a moderate inflation report for the month of November, the price of gold was given new life.

 

As prospects of a lesser rate hike by the Fed have grown due to a decrease in inflationary pressures, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is battling to maintain above the 104.00 level. Following the weak October inflation report, Fed policymakers were already calling for a slowdown in the rate of interest rate increases. Recent major slowdowns in inflation have increased the likelihood of changing the monetary policy to one that is less hawkish.

 

After a decrease in pricing pressures, the risk-appetite theme boosted the S&P 500. Futures for the 500-US stock basket are anticipated to increase in speed as recession concerns have diminished more. Additionally, the 10-year US Treasury yields are now close to 3.50 percent.

 

"The 50 basis points raise, which is commonly predicted for tomorrow's FOMC meeting, can be considered almost certain given today's data," states a Commerzbank note. We continue to believe that the Fed will cut back on the extent of the rate increases once more at the start of 2023, increasing rates by only 25 basis points in February and March.
