July 24th - PMI data showed that U.S. business activity expanded at its fastest pace in eight months, with strong domestic service sector demand offsetting the impact of slowing factory production, increased supply chain delays, and rising costs. The preliminary reading of the S&P Global Services PMI for July rose to 53.6, the highest level since November 2025, driven by demand in the hospitality and other service sectors boosted by the World Cup and July 4th Independence Day celebrations. The preliminary reading of the S&P Global Manufacturing PMI for July fell to 53.8, the lowest level since March. Chris Williamson, chief business economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said, "Supply chain delays continued to worsen in July, accompanied by renewed price pressures, constraining economic growth and suppressing demand. Recent events in the Middle East will only further exacerbate concerns about supply chains and prices, increasing downside risks to the near-term economic outlook, suggesting that the recovery in July may not be the beginning of an improving trend."Maxlinear (MXL.O) fell more than 9% due to poor second-quarter results and outlook.Livewire Group (LVWR.N) rose 60%, with Q2 sales far exceeding the same period last year.Schlumberger (SLB.N) rose 6.6% after reporting a 26% year-on-year decline in Q2 earnings, which was still better than expected. North American revenue surged 36%, mitigating the impact of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.American Express (AXP.N) fell more than 5% after reporting mixed Q2 results, with revenue falling short of expectations and the company raising its full-year guidance.

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.
