According to the Wall Street Journal, sources say Mexico is pushing for lower auto tariffs in the USMCA negotiations.Japans corporate goods price index rose 7.2% year-on-year in July, below the expected 7.4% and the previous reading of 7.10%.Japans corporate goods price index rose 0.1% month-on-month in July, below the expected 0.60% and the previous reading of 0.40%.Futures News, August 13th - According to foreign media reports, Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) soft red winter wheat futures closed sharply higher on Wednesday, with the benchmark contract rising 3.6%, mainly reflecting the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which has disrupted grain exports from the region. Ukrainian President Zelensky stated that this "unique operation" targets the last major stronghold of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. The ongoing conflict between the two countries continues to restrict agricultural exports from the region and has also caused some commodity prices to fluctuate wildly during the conflict.On August 13th, a research report from CICC stated that the seasonally adjusted CPI in the US rose 0.1% month-on-month and 3.4% year-on-year in July, while core inflation rose 0.2% month-on-month and 2.5% year-on-year, both in line with market expectations. Energy prices continued to decline, but international oil prices have rebounded since August, increasing uncertainty about future energy prices. Regarding core inflation, commodities were relatively strong while services were relatively weak, especially with the continued rise in prices of information technology products such as computers and software, reflecting that the supply-demand mismatch caused by the expansion of AI capital expenditure is gradually being transmitted to the consumer side. We believe that US inflation may have entered a new phase, with its driving force gradually shifting from supply shocks such as tariffs and oil prices to demand expansion driven by AI investment, and the duration of inflation may be correspondingly prolonged. For the Federal Reserve, this data alleviates the pressure for short-term interest rate hikes, but demand-pull inflation requires more attention from policymakers than supply-push inflation.

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.
