June 25th - According to trade sources and shipping data, Middle Eastern fuel oil exports are expected to rebound to their highest level in four months in June as Iraq and Saudi Arabia shift crude oil supplies to other ports and cargo traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is expected to resume. This could lead to a significant drop in high-sulfur fuel oil prices at major trading hubs such as Singapore. According to data from Kpler and LSEG, Middle Eastern exports in June are expected to reach approximately 2.4 million tons (508,000 barrels per day), an increase of over 20% compared to May. However, this figure remains well below the pre-war monthly average of 5.5 to 6 million tons. Palash Jain, Middle East oil consultant at FGE NexantECA, stated, "Fuel oil traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is expected to increase over the next 60 days, but the recovery is unlikely to be significant."On June 25th, SenseTime disclosed its latest operational data for its enterprise-level TokenPlan at its shareholders meeting: Since its launch in May 2026, the usage of SenseTimes "Daily Update" large-scale model enterprise-level tokens has increased sevenfold in a single month.

The Labor governments amendment bill, which had previously passed the Senate, was approved by the House of Representatives on Thursday. The bill restricts tax breaks for investors in existing properties and raises capital gains tax, aiming to reduce the incentive for investors to flood the market – a large influx of investors often crowds out opportunities for first-time homebuyers. Treasurer Chalmers stated, "We are taking action because inaction will trap another generation in the old paradigm, keeping them out of the housing market."

  • USD/CHF remained stuck around 0.9350 despite a big increase in US Treasury yields.

  • The DXY is aiming for 100.00 as traders increase their expectations for an aggressive rate hike.

  • Russia resigns from the United Nations Human Rights Council.

 

Since Thursday, the USD/CHF pair has been swinging within a narrow band of 0.9318-0.9348 as Federal Reserve (Fed) policymakers have begun prescribing a reversion to neutral rates from ultra-loose monetary policy postures.

 

After commenting on the amount to which the Fed will raise interest rates in future monetary policies, members of the Fed's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) have changed their focus to calling for a return to neutral policy. The ultra-loose monetary policies and helicopter money used to boost growth following the Covid-19 outbreak have served their purpose, and it would be preferable to return to normal rates and a self-sufficient economy. Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic stated on Thursday that while it is quite acceptable for the Fed to move policy closer to neutral, it should go cautiously, according to Reuters.

 

On the Russia-Ukraine front, Russia is expelled from the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Council after its members voted against the Kremlin's war crimes in Bucha, Ukraine. Additionally, US lawmakers have decided to prohibit Moscow from importing oil, gas, and coal. Additionally, the former has opted to revoke its 'Most Favored Nation' trade designation, resulting in higher tariffs for Moscow.

 

Meanwhile, the US dollar index is heading towards the enchanted level of 100.00, fueled by forecasts for better US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data next week. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note has recaptured a three-year high of 2.66 percent as rate rise worries resurface.
