August 3 - According to data provided by officials, Kuwaiti crude oil production surged in July, increasing by nearly 20% compared to the previous month, reaching its highest average level since the outbreak of the war with Iran. Sources indicated that Kuwaiti crude oil production rose to 1.97 million barrels per day in July, an increase of approximately 300,000 barrels per day from June. They did not specify the specific reasons for the increase. Currently, Kuwaiti crude oil production is several times higher than its April lows, but still about 20% lower than pre-war levels. In recent weeks, Persian Gulf oil-producing countries have made some progress in transporting crude oil through the Strait of Hormuz. Although regional shipping is once again threatened after the collapse of the US-Iran ceasefire agreement, negotiations to restore tanker passage continue. Furthermore, domestic oil demand in the Middle East is also rising due to increased electricity consumption driven by increased demand for air conditioning during the summer. After the US-Iran ceasefire was reached in June, the CEO of Kuwait National Oil Company stated that the company would immediately lift all force majeure notices and expected production to soon recover to 2 million barrels per day. Official data shows that Kuwaiti production briefly reached this level before falling back to approximately 1.9 million barrels per day.Market news: The war with Iran has left Belgium completely dependent on Russian liquefied natural gas in July.White House National Economic Council Director Hassett: Federal Reserve Chairman Warsh is moving things in a positive direction.

The difficulties that the USD/JPY pair met around 133.00 during the Asian session are now in full force. As investors predict a disappointing result from the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data, the asset has printed a low of 132.77 and is projected to decrease further to about 132.00.

 

JP Morgan experts projected that the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) will be poorer than expected at 200K in the July labor market statistics, compared to the consensus expectation of 250k jobs gained in the month. The US economy produced 372k new jobs in the labor market in June. The labor market is under great pressure as a result of data showing a continued fall in job creation. The unemployment rate, though, will be constant at 3.6 percent.

 

Increased labor market dangers are a result of rising interest rates and their compounding impacts. Due to pricey dollars, business players are unable to invest without reluctance. Low investment possibilities cannot thus speed the process of creating jobs.

 

Despite the Federal Reserve (Fed) policymakers' enhanced interest rate ambitions, the US dollar index (DXY) has thrown up the support of 106.00. According to Cleveland Fed President Loretta J. Mester, ending the policy tightening program without detecting a decline in the inflation rate for several months is not conceivable at interest rates above 4 percent .

 

Tokyo's entire household expenditure has dramatically climbed from the previous report of -0.5 percent and the predictions of 1.5 percent to 3.5 percent. As an inflation indicator, the economic data may aid the yen bulls. The economic data have greatly improved, which means that the inflation rate may climb much further. The findings may, however, be largely impacted by growing energy expenditures. However, a hike in the labor cost index is shortly to come in order to keep the inflation rate over 2 percent.
