A person directly familiar with the operations stated that since March 31st, the authorities have sold approximately $330 million through direct foreign exchange intervention. This resumption of direct intervention (which had been suspended since mid-December last year) highlights the efforts of the Rodriguez interim government to stabilize the exchange rate. Previously, the dollar auction mechanism launched earlier this year had encountered difficulties, with uneven supply putting pressure on the parallel market. According to a report released this week by Ecoanalítica, approximately 80% of dollar demand was rejected by the Venezuelan central bank without explanation. Ecoanalítica analysts noted in the report: "The official foreign exchange supply is highly concentrated in a few entities, coupled with unmet demand from SMEs and individuals, leading to funds flowing into the parallel market. This situation widens the gap between the official exchange rate and the market exchange rate." Consulting firm Síntesis Financiera stated that the government also sold over $1 billion in the official foreign exchange market in March, setting a monthly record since the system was established in 2019.Iranian media reported that the Iranian president, in a phone call with the Pakistani prime minister on Wednesday morning, condemned the breach of the ceasefire agreement in the Iranian islands of Ravan and Siri.

WTI price falls below the $76 mark amid altering financial dynamics and global growth concerns

The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) price is unchanged on Tuesday amid a weaker US Dollar and muted risk sentiment. WTI fell to a low of $72.31 on Monday as a result of a strong risk-off environment sparked by the repercussions from Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Banks. Since then, the WTI price has risen significantly as a result of the Federal Reserve's plan to intervene. After reaching a peak of approximately $76 on Monday, the WTI price retreated as the dynamics of the US Dollar shifted.

 

The financial system is being harmed by rising borrowing costs around the world and growth concerns are being raised. The WTI price is in a corrective decline as the narrative of China's reopening does not appear optimistic, as the country has lowered its growth forecast to 5.0%.

 

The SVB debacle exacerbates global growth concerns, as it is interpreted as the first of many financial system dings. Due to rising financing costs, businesses are struggling to make their repayments, which will eventually result in a decline in demand.

 

Despite tightened production and numerous voluntary cuts from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), the WTI price is struggling to surpass $80.

 

Oil prices are influenced by a number of variables, including the US dollar, inflation, OPEC, and global growth concerns. Considering the aforementioned factors, it is difficult to rationalize the directional nature of oil prices, but it appears that the oil market is primarily driven by development concerns.

 

Since these nations are struggling to maintain oil prices above the desired $80 mark, it will also be crucial to monitor the OPEC position on reduced oil prices.
