FedEx (FDX.N) is suing the U.S. government, demanding a full refund of emergency tariffs.February 24th - According to the Wall Street Journal, the Trump administration is considering new "national security tariffs" on six industries. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that the tariffs under consideration could cover industries such as large batteries, pig iron and iron fittings, plastic pipes, industrial chemicals, and power grid and telecommunications equipment. These tariffs would be imposed under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. The new tariffs on these six industries would be implemented separately from the new 15% global tariff. It is unclear when the investigations into these tariffs, conducted by the Department of Commerce, will be announced, or when they will ultimately be implemented. Section 232 requires a lengthy investigation before tariffs can be imposed, but once implemented, the president can unilaterally amend it.February 24 - On February 23 local time, the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the foreign ministers of 19 countries, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Palestine, Brazil, France, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Indonesia, Ireland, Luxembourg, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden, along with the secretaries-general of the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, issued a joint statement strongly condemning the Israeli security cabinet for approving a series of decisions that drastically altered its policies in the West Bank, strengthened its control over the West Bank, and accelerated the expansion of Jewish settlements.JPMorgan CFO Barnum: The final Basel III plan is unlikely to significantly change capital requirements in any direction.Musk: Anthropic stole training data on a massive scale and paid billions of dollars in compensation for it.

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%.
