Huya (HUYA.N) reported revenue of RMB 1.74 billion in the fourth quarter.March 17th - Due to ongoing supply disruptions caused by the war with Iran, U.S. diesel prices have surpassed $5 per gallon for the first time since December 2022, putting further pressure on many sectors of the worlds largest economy. According to the American Automobile Association (AAA), the national average retail price of diesel reached $5.044 per gallon on Monday. Diesel is the lifeblood of U.S. freight, agriculture, and construction, and the surge in retail prices will have repercussions across the entire economy. Since Persian Gulf refineries are the primary source of this fuel, its price increase has outpaced most other petroleum products. In some U.S. states, diesel prices have already exceeded the $5 mark. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the price of heating oil used for home heating (which is essentially the same as diesel) has also climbed above $5. For Trump, the continued surge in fuel prices could put pressure on his prospects for the midterm elections later this year.Thailands National Planning Agency: Domestic diesel prices will gradually rise.March 17th - Gold prices rose slightly today, but have fallen more than 4% this week as energy prices continue to erode market expectations for further interest rate cuts.

What is forex trading?

Forex is one of the most widely traded markets in the world, with a total daily average turnover reported to exceed $5 trillion a day. The forex market is not based in a central location or exchange, and is open 24 hours a day from Sunday night through to Friday night. A wide range of currencies are constantly being exchanged as individuals, companies and organisations conduct global business and attempt to take advantage of rate fluctuations.

Forex is always traded in pairs – for example AUD/USD. You speculate on whether the price of one country's currency will rise or fall against the currency of another country, and take a position accordingly. Looking at the AUD/USD currency pair, the first currency (AUD) is called the 'base currency' and the second currency (USD) is known as the 'counter currency'. 

What are the benefits?

Some of the main benefits of forex trading that make this asset class a popular choice among traders are:

-The ability to trade on margin (using leverage)
-High levels of liquidity mean spreads stay tight which keeps trading costs low
-Prices react quickly to breaking news and economic announcements (this can be a disadvantage too)
-Trade 24 hours a day from Sunday to Friday
-The ability to go long and short
- Wide range of markets
