May 28th, Futures News: Economies.com analysts latest view: Spot gold prices fell in recent trading after breaking below the key support level of $4,500 yesterday. Selling pressure persisted, with prices briefly dipping to near the $4,400 support level before a limited rebound, benefiting from improved momentum and easing of oversold conditions in the Relative Strength Index (RSI). Despite the brief rebound, the continued short-term downtrend and renewed downward pressure, coupled with gold prices remaining below the EMA50, limited any further short-term rebound opportunities.May 28th, Futures News: Economies.com analysts latest view: WTI crude oil futures prices rose slightly, stabilizing near the $88 support level, which was our target price set in previous analysis. This provided some upward momentum, helping to recover some recent losses and temporarily restore balance. Crude oil prices are also attempting to alleviate the clearly oversold condition on the Relative Strength Index (RSI), especially with positive signals beginning to emerge. However, due to the strong downward correction wave dominating in the short term, with oil prices remaining below the 50-day moving average, downward pressure persists, and the possibility of a strong rebound in the short term is limited.On May 28, local time, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister, held a symposium with US strategic and business leaders on the sidelines of the UN Security Council high-level meeting in New York on May 27. Wang Yi stated that the historic meeting between the Chinese and US heads of state in Beijing involved frank, in-depth, constructive, and strategic communication on major issues concerning China-US relations and world peace and development, reaching a series of important consensuses. Both sides agreed to define a "constructive strategic and stable relationship between China and the US" as the new positioning of bilateral relations, hoping to make efforts towards a direction of cooperation as the main focus, moderate competition, controllable differences, and a promising future of peace, jointly exploring the correct way for major powers to coexist in the new era. Wang Yi emphasized that "Taiwan independence" is incompatible with peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. Only by adhering to the one-China principle and the spirit of the three China-US joint communiqués can peace across the Taiwan Strait be guaranteed and conflict and confrontation avoided. Wang Yi stated that China is willing to work with the US to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state and take concrete actions to ensure the "constructive strategic and stable relationship" is implemented as soon as possible. He hoped that everyone present would make positive efforts in this regard and promote a broader social consensus.On May 28, local time, on the 27th, Bagheri, Deputy Secretary of Irans Supreme National Security Council, stated that Iran is seeking the release of all Iranian assets frozen by the United States, saying, "This is the legitimate right of the Iranian people."

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%.
