May 16th - Despite geopolitical tensions and a flood of synthetic diamonds, Zimbabwes main state-owned diamond miner plans to produce 5 million carats of diamonds this year, up from 3.8 million carats in 2025. Douglas Zambangor, CEO of United Diamonds Zimbabwe, told lawmakers in the eastern town of Mutare that the countrys diamond industry has experienced a more severe downturn than the international market due to a series of local problems. While international rough diamond prices have fallen by 26% to 35%, Zimbabwean diamonds have plummeted from a peak of $79 per carat to $22 per carat due to product mix issues, geopolitical tensions, synthetic diamonds, market collusion, and an unfavorable sales framework. The international diamond market remains sluggish, especially for unique rough diamonds, with prices projected to range between $22 and $34 per carat by 2026. In contrast, other producers are averaging $100 per carat for high-quality rough diamonds.May 16th - According to sources, FIFA Secretary General Matthias Grafström will meet with officials from the Iranian Football Federation in Istanbul, Turkey, on the 16th.

natural gas

The EIA Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report was the main topic of discussion today among gas dealers. In contrast to the analyst estimate of -13 Bcf, the data showed that working gas in storage grew by 11 Bcf from the previous week. Following the publication of the EIA data, natural gas prices rose further as traders concentrated on projections that suggest the weather may get colder starting on January 23.

WTI Oil

WTI oil prices are increasing as traders anticipate more demand from China. Data on US inflation gave oil prices even more support. A less hawkish Fed will benefit oil markets because lower interest rates would ease economic pressure.

Brent Oil

As traders continue to concentrate on the reopening of China's economy, Brent oil is now attempting to settle above the 50 EMA at $84.55. If Brent oil is able to hold above this point, it will continue to rise and move in the direction of the next resistance level at $86.00.
