Birol stated that the damage means oil fields, refineries, and pipelines will need some time to return to operation.On March 23, Capital Economics analyst Gareth Lesser noted in a report that Asias reliance on imported energy makes it more vulnerable to prolonged periods of high oil prices compared to other regions. Historically, approximately 80% to 90% of energy traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has been destined for Asian markets. Asia has already experienced rising crude oil and refined product prices; since the start of the war, the Singapore diesel benchmark price has increased by about 140%. Sri Lanka, the Philippines, and Pakistan will be hit hardest because they heavily rely on energy imports from the Middle East and have limited fiscal space to mitigate the impact.March 23 - Two weekend polls showed that a majority of Japanese people oppose sending warships to the Middle East in response to the potential conflict with Iran.

A Yomiuri Shimbun poll showed 67% of respondents opposed sending Japanese Self-Defense Forces to the region, while an Annan News Agency poll showed 52%. The polls also indicated that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichis cabinet maintains high approval ratings at 71% and 65.2% respectively, with most people positively evaluating her meeting with Trump on March 19. Takaichi avoided a direct confrontation with Trump over Japans support for securing the strait, but Trump continues to pressure Japan to fulfill its responsibilities.Australian Prime Minister Albanese: Strengthening energy security cooperation with Singapore and supporting the flow of diesel and liquefied natural gas between the two countries.

Forecast for the price of gold: XAU/USD tussles with $1,730 resistance before US inflation

As traders anticipate the crucial US Consumer Price Index (CPI) on Tuesday, the price of gold (XAU/USD) grinds higher above a fortnight peak after a two-day advance to $1,725 per ounce. The market's optimism and anticipated preparations for today's inflation data may be responsible for the metal's most recent increases.

 

The market's cautious optimism appears to have been supported by rumors that Ukraine is succeeding in driving the Russian troops away from some of its conflict zones, even though this also increased concerns about Russia's strong response. The expectation of additional stimulus from powerful economies like China, the US, the UK, and Europe might be on the same lines. It's important to keep in mind that a Chinese holiday and a light schedule may have contributed to the XAU/recovery USD's because Beijing's lack of political or economic problems may have supported metal prices. In addition, recent news from the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) that US gas prices have fallen for a 13th week in a row helped to relieve market pressure and encouraged a risk-taking attitude that was favorable to the gold price.

 

However, the recent easing of the headline economics and the inflation expectations seems to have pushed back the gold bears despite a light schedule, even though the policymakers from the US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank (ECB) remain hawkish elsewhere.

 

In the midst of these maneuvers, Wall Street posted another day of profits despite rising US Treasury yields, which at the time were up five basis points (bps) to 3.36%. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which fell for a second straight day to the lowest levels in a fortnight, eventually dipped to approximately 108.30, was affected by the same factors.

 

Moving on, the US CPI for August is critical in light of the most recent easing of pricing pressure. According to the projections, the headline figure will decline to -0.1% MoM from 0.0% the previous month, while the CPI excluding food and energy is expected to hold steady at 0.3% MoM. The US dollar may continue to decline if the inflation numbers are weaker, which might support the XAU/continued USD's gain.
