According to a price list, Saudi Aramco lowered the price of its Arab Light crude oil exports to Asia by $11 per barrel in August, representing a discount of $1.50 per barrel to the regional benchmark price. This reduction is larger than the $8 per barrel expected in an institutional survey. Middle Eastern crude oil prices have recently fallen. After resuming exports from the Gulf port of Rastanura in the Persian Gulf, Saudi Aramco had increased its crude oil shipments to approximately 90% of pre-war levels. Before the war, Rastanura was Saudi Arabias main port of call for crude oil exports. Due to the wars blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, Saudi Aramco diverted most of its crude oil to the port of Yanbu on the Red Sea. Previously, the OPEC+ oil-producing group agreed to continue a small increase in production in August. Now, with the resumption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, Gulf oil producers such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Kuwait will be able to utilize their higher quotas.

NZD/USD Price Analysis: Protects NZ Inflation-Induced Support Break; 0.6140 in Sight

During the mid-Asian session on Thursday, NZD/USD bears maintain control at the lowest levels in five weeks while defending New Zealand (NZ) losses caused by inflation near 0.6160. This justifies not only the weaker-than-anticipated New Zealand inflation, but also the recent break of one-month-old horizontal support, which is now immediate resistance, as well as the bearish MACD signals.

 

As measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) policy purists were unpleasantly surprised by New Zealand's (NZ) first-quarter (Q1) inflation. Despite this, the Quarter-over-Quarter change in the New Zealand Consumer Price Index (CPI) decreases from 1.7% and 1.4%, respectively, to 1.2%.

 

Following the publication of disappointing data, the NZD/USD pair breached a one-month-old horizontal support level, which is now acting as a barrier near 0.6170. The bearish MACD signals are now directing NZD/USD traders toward a horizontal support level that has been in place for 1.5 months and is located near 0.6140.

 

If the NZD/USD bears remain dominant above 0.6140, the 2023 low of 0.6085 cannot be ruled out.

 

The 200-day simple moving average hurdle of 0.6220 becomes crucial for NZD/USD investors to return.

 

If the NZD/USD pair remains above 0.6220, a run up to the previous weekly high around 0.6315 and then to the monthly high of 0.6386 cannot be ruled out.
