South Korean Finance Minister: We are still considering importing Russian naphtha.Lei Jun, Chairman of Xiaomi Group: The new generation SU7 delivered four to five thousand vehicles in the first week.March 29th - U.S. employment is likely to rebound in March after one of the largest job losses since the pandemic began. Economists estimate that 60,000 jobs were added this month after a loss of 92,000. The unemployment rate is expected to remain at 4.4%. Employment has not increased for several months since May of last year, indicating a lack of significant hiring momentum in the labor market, but without any worrying signs of deterioration. Against this backdrop of limited job opportunities, renewed concerns about inflation due to the war in the Middle East, fueled by soaring gasoline prices, have fueled fears among Americans. Economists point out that Marchs job growth is expected to rebound after disappointing February employment data—in which construction and leisure and hospitality jobs may have declined due to weather conditions. Employment in the healthcare sector may also increase as more than 30,000 Kaiser Permanente employees ended their strike.March 29th - According to Nikkei, U.S. electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla (TSLA.O) plans to double the number of its directly operated service outlets in Japan this year, reaching over 30, in an effort to improve after-sales service and expand market share. Tesla currently operates 14 service centers across the country, primarily located in major cities. These centers are equipped with facilities for vehicle inspection, maintenance, and repair, including bodywork. Many new service centers will be located near Tesla dealerships. The company will utilize existing spaces previously used as repair shops to rapidly expand its service network at a lower cost. In areas without directly operated service centers, Tesla partners with local auto repair shops to provide customers with over 50 vehicle maintenance service points.March 29th - According to the Wall Street Journal, hundreds of thousands of protesters may take to the streets on Saturday for nationwide "No Kings" rallies to protest President Trump. Organizers say Trump governs the country more like a king than a president. This Saturdays protest is the third "No Kings" rally in less than a year, amid controversy surrounding the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and debate over the deployment of federal troops to cities across the country. Organizers said this week that the U.S. involvement in the Iran war is another factor driving the protesters to the streets. Videos circulating on social media show protesters gathering on a beach in San Francisco, California, forming signs that read "Trump must step down immediately!"

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.
