On May 27, it was reported that US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke by phone on May 26 local time. An informed source stated that the two sides discussed the situation amidst regional tensions and as US-Iran diplomatic negotiations entered a crucial phase.On May 27th, according to Nikkei, Federal Reserve Chairman Neel Kashkari stated that the Fed may take a "series" of interest rate hikes to address inflation caused by the Middle East situation. During the FOMC meeting in late April, the Fed kept interest rates unchanged. Kashkari and two other officials objected to the Feds decision to include language in its statement hinting at future monetary easing. In a written interview, Kashkari stated, "I think the next rate adjustment could be a rate cut, or it could be a rate hike," expressing his differing opinion. Kashkari said the outcome depends on the trend of inflation, which in turn depends on whether the Strait of Hormuz reopens soon or remains effectively closed due to further damage to the regions infrastructure, the latter exacerbating the global energy shortage. Kashkari expressed concern that long-term inflation expectations for businesses and households "could get out of control." He stated that the FOMC "will likely need to take strong measures," and that rate hikes, or even a series of rate hikes, may be necessary.Federal Reserves Kashkari: A protracted war with Iran could trigger a "series" of interest rate hikes in the United States.May 27th - As of 2:30 PM closing, the Shanghai Gold futures contract fell 1.15% to 988 yuan/gram, the Shanghai Silver futures contract fell 1.38% to 18,601 yuan/kilogram, and the SC Crude Oil futures contract rose 0.81% to 610 yuan/barrel.Micron Technology (MU.O) surged over 20%, marking its biggest single-day gain since 2011.

Natural Gas (XNG/USD) maintains losses near $2.20 as bears test the yearly low established in February. In doing so, the energy quotation remains lethargic following two consecutive days of decline.

 

The XNG/USD bears applaud the sustained trading below a two-week-old descending resistance line, around $2.27 at the time of writing, amidst bearish MACD signals and the absence of an oversold RSI. (14).

 

Consequently, the price of natural gas appears poised to fall below the yearly low of $2.13, which accentuates the $2.00 psychological magnet.

 

However, the early July 2020 high around $1.97 and the 61.8% Fibonacci Expansion (FE) of its moves during early January-March 2023, around $1.80, could challenge the Natural Gas skeptics later, in conjunction with a likely oversold RSI line.

 

In contrast, a break above the stated immediate resistance line, near $2.27, is not an open invitation to Natural Gas purchasers, as another downward-sloping trend line from the beginning of the year, near $2.40 at the latest, functions as a further check on the XNG/USD bulls.

 

If the price manages to remain firmer than $2.40, there is no reason to rule out a rally toward the mid-March high of $2.75.
