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.

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.
