June 25th - According to trade sources and shipping data, Middle Eastern fuel oil exports are expected to rebound to their highest level in four months in June as Iraq and Saudi Arabia shift crude oil supplies to other ports and cargo traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is expected to resume. This could lead to a significant drop in high-sulfur fuel oil prices at major trading hubs such as Singapore. According to data from Kpler and LSEG, Middle Eastern exports in June are expected to reach approximately 2.4 million tons (508,000 barrels per day), an increase of over 20% compared to May. However, this figure remains well below the pre-war monthly average of 5.5 to 6 million tons. Palash Jain, Middle East oil consultant at FGE NexantECA, stated, "Fuel oil traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is expected to increase over the next 60 days, but the recovery is unlikely to be significant."On June 25th, SenseTime disclosed its latest operational data for its enterprise-level TokenPlan at its shareholders meeting: Since its launch in May 2026, the usage of SenseTimes "Daily Update" large-scale model enterprise-level tokens has increased sevenfold in a single month.

The Labor governments amendment bill, which had previously passed the Senate, was approved by the House of Representatives on Thursday. The bill restricts tax breaks for investors in existing properties and raises capital gains tax, aiming to reduce the incentive for investors to flood the market – a large influx of investors often crowds out opportunities for first-time homebuyers. Treasurer Chalmers stated, "We are taking action because inaction will trap another generation in the old paradigm, keeping them out of the housing market."

Gold Price Prediction: XAU / USD will continue to fluctuate above $1,900 despite a decline in US Inflation

Gold price (XAU / USD) is not in danger despite U.S. inflation figures meeting expectations. Since Monday, the precious metal has been fluctuating continuously between $1,895 and $1,913. The release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) failed to produce a significant reaction in the Gold price; however, the upside bias appears to be solidified as wagers on lesser rate increases from the Federal Reserve (Fed) have increased.

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) is protecting the critical support at 103.50, but it appears vulnerable to further losses as investors' risk appetite has dramatically increased. As market participants purchased S&P500 futures in response to higher odds of a smaller rate hike from Fed chair Jerome Powell, a likely recession in the US economy was postponed, signaling an uptick in optimism.

 

Contrary to the risk-on sentiment, demand for US Treasury bonds remained weak, causing 10-year US Treasury yields to rise above 3.68 percent.

 

The headline As anticipated, the US CPI increased by 0.4% on a monthly basis, and the annual figure decreased from 6.4% to 6.0%. In addition, the core CPI, which excludes crude and food prices, decreased to 5.5% from 5.6% previously. The Fed appears to be pleased with the persistence of a declining trend in US inflation.

 

In the future, investors will closely monitor the US Retail Sales (Feb) data. Monthly Retail Sales data is anticipated to decline by 0.3% compared to the previous release of a 3.0% increase. This indicates that the consumer spending rebound is over and the Fed is on course to achieve its inflation target of 2%.
