July 21 – Nuveen Global Investment Strategist Laura Cooper stated in a report that the European Central Bank (ECB) is likely to keep interest rates unchanged at its meeting this week after the June rate hike, but will maintain a tighter tone. Cooper said the ECB would remain open to further tightening if renewed tensions drive up energy prices. She said inflation is more moderate than feared, with little sign of renewed acceleration in the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) pricing sub-index, while producer price data confirms that upstream cost pressures are easing. “These factors provide a reason to hold rates steady this month,” she said. The complexity lies in renewed disruptions to commodity supplies, which could reignite energy price pressures at a time when the ECB is gaining confidence in the path of declining inflation.According to the Joint Oil Data Institute (JODI), Saudi Arabias domestic refineries increased crude oil processing by 175,000 barrels per day in May, reaching 2.386 million barrels per day.According to the Joint Oil Data Institute (JODI), Saudi Arabias crude oil inventories increased by 2.827 million barrels in May, reaching 142.794 million barrels.According to the Joint Oil Data Institute (JODI), Saudi Arabias direct crude oil burning increased by 107,000 barrels per day in May, reaching 647,000 barrels per day.According to the Joint Oil Database (JODI), Saudi Arabias petroleum product exports increased by 74,000 barrels per day in May, reaching 1.083 million barrels per day.
