We continue to inflict deeper damage on all systems and capabilities of the Iranian regime.Sources say Sony Pictures will lay off hundreds of employees.On April 8th, Federal Reserve Chairman John Goolsby stated that he is concerned the war with Iran would not only drag down economic growth but also push up inflation, putting the Fed in a difficult position as there is no clear "operational guide" to instruct it on how to respond. Goolsby said, "My biggest concern right now is that we must deal with the impending oil crisis, which will lead to stagflation. Tariffs caused prices to surge, but prices should have gradually fallen back; now the shock has hit before the effects have subsided."Musk stated that he looks forward to collaborating with Intel (INTC.O) on the Terafab project.April 8th - According to sources familiar with the matter, Apples (AAPL.O) first foldable phone is expected to launch as scheduled later this year during the usual iPhone release period, alleviating concerns about major production issues. Sources indicate the company plans to launch the foldable model in September, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max. Previously, a Nikkei report stated that Apple encountered some difficulties during the phones engineering testing phase, which could delay production and shipping plans.

While the complexity of the new display and materials may limit initial supply for several weeks, the sources said Apple is currently planning to launch the device around or slightly after the release of its new non-foldable model.

After a perpendicular recovery to close to $2.70 in the Asian session, Natural Gas futures have turned sideways. Weakness in the US Dollar Index (DXY), in general, has aided the upward bias in natural gas prices. Natural Gas futures appear vulnerable near $2.70 as the USD Index has demonstrated a recovery move to near 103.90 as investors become anxious ahead of the release of the United States Consumer Price Index (CPI) data.

 

The Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates is anticipated to have a negative impact on industrial demand for natural gas (Fed). The market anticipates that Fed chair Jerome Powell's scheduled rate hikes will lead to a recession in the near future.

 

Meanwhile, Winter is nearing its conclusion and summer has not yet arrived. Consequently, demand for residential purposes to heat domestic spaces will remain low. Additionally, because residences will require less electricity to operate air conditioners, power companies are less reliant on natural gas.

 

The recent decline in the USD Index is what has given Natural Gas prices new life. The US Energy Information Administration's (EIA) inventory data, which is released every Thursday, will dominate this week's trading in Natural Gas futures.

 

Going forward, investors eagerly anticipate the publication of US inflation data in order to form a new consensus. According to the projections, the headline CPI could fall to 6.0% from the previous release of 6.4%. And, core inflation, which excludes crude and food prices, is anticipated to decrease slightly to 5.5% from the previous release of 5.6%.
