Futures News, September 16th: Crude oil prices have recently been experiencing strong fluctuations. While the gains have been modest, a clear bottom line is evident. This is primarily due to geopolitical tensions, including Ukraines escalating attacks on oil facilities in a European country and the Polish drone issue. The return of a geopolitical premium has boosted bullish market sentiment. Zhuochuang Information predicts that this geopolitical escalation has led to an oil market premium, but negative fundamentals are weighing on oil prices. Saudi Arabias production increases and weak demand are both contributing to a buildup of crude oil inventories. Therefore, while oil prices may remain strong in the short term, they remain under pressure in the long term.On September 16th, Brazilian President Lula da Silva met with Didi founder and CEO Cheng Wei and executives from Didi and its subsidiary, 99. 99 announced an additional investment of R$2 billion (approximately RMB 2.6 billion) in its food delivery platform, 99Food, to be fully operational by June 2026. 99Food currently operates only in São Paulo and Goiânia, and this new round of investment will fuel rapid service expansion, with plans to cover 15 cities by the end of the year and 20 more by January 2026.

On Wednesday, Ethereum (ETH) increased by 3.74%. ETH finished the day at $1,665, reversing a loss of 1.71% from Tuesday.


ETH dropped to an early bottom of $1,595 following a negative start to the day. While avoiding the First Significant Support Line (S1) at $1,585, ETH surged to a high of $1,670 in the early afternoon.


ETH quickly passed through the Second Major Resistance Level (R2) at $1,668 before relaxing back to finish the day at $1,665. ETH also broke through the First Major Resistance Level (R1) at $1,636.


Bitcoin (BTC) increased by 2.44% on Wednesday. Bitcoin finished the day at $23,707, reversing a drop of 1.53% from Tuesday. Bitcoin returned to the $24,000 mark for the first time in five days thanks to the positive session.

Chinese economic data and the Shapella upgrade provide support

On Wednesday, the seamless Shapella update and mining influx helped to sustain the price of ETH. However, the Wednesday breakthrough was motivated by the world economic schedule.


On Wednesday, statistics from China provided support for risky commodities. The crucial Caixin Manufacturing PMI increased in February from 49.2 to 51.6. Analysts anticipated an increase to 50.2. An important development was the industrial sector's first expansion since July 2022.


The statistics were strong enough to overpower the impact of NASDAQ Composite Index and US economic data.


The ISM Manufacturing PMI survey's auxiliary variables backed up the more bearish outlook on Fed monetary policy. From 44.5 to 51.3, the ISM Factory Costs Index increased. The NASDAQ Composite Index was impacted by hawkish Fed talk as well. According to reports, Fed moderate Kashkari is willing to raise interest rates by 25 or 50 basis points in March.


Investors reacted negatively this morning to inflation data and bullish talk, sending Bitcoin and ETH into the red.
