July 10th - According to the Congressional Budget Offices "June 2026 Monthly Budget Review," the U.S. federal budget deficit for the first nine months of fiscal year 2026 totaled approximately $1.4 trillion, an increase of $35 billion compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. During the same period, federal revenue was $4.2 trillion, an increase of $142 billion, or 4%; expenditures were $5.5 trillion, an increase of $178 billion, or 3%.On July 10, following the completion of its investigation, the United States decided to temporarily suspend tariffs on commercial aircraft, jet engines, and their components. President Trump instead instructed the government to negotiate with trading partners to adjust imports of these products. Previously, a report submitted by Commerce Secretary Rutnick concluded that imported commercial aircraft, jet engines, and related components posed a threat to U.S. national security. The findings of this investigation leave room for future tariffs—if the U.S. fails to reach an agreement with its trading partners to resolve the issue, Trump may take further tariff measures. According to a White House statement, if an agreement is not reached within 180 days, or if the agreement is deemed invalid, Trump "may also take other actions deemed necessary" to eliminate this threat.According to a document, the Sudanese military has set broadly acceptable conditions for the latest peace proposal from the United States demanding the withdrawal of the Rapid Support Force (RSF) from all occupied cities.On July 10th, Bernstein raised its 2026 gold price forecast, projecting a second-half price target of $4,375 per ounce and a full-year target of $4,533. The firm believes that continued central bank gold purchases and the high probability that the Federal Reserve will not raise interest rates in the next 12 months will be the main factors supporting gold prices. Bernstein expects the Fed to raise rates only one or two times at most, limiting outflows from gold ETFs. Bernstein noted that rising real interest rates in the second quarter of 2026 caused gold prices to fall from $4,650 per ounce to around $4,000, but with stabilizing interest rate expectations, gold still has room to rise. The firm also warned that if inflation continues to exceed expectations, prompting the Fed to take more aggressive interest rate hikes, this will be the main risk to rising gold prices.According to NewsNation: US officials say technical negotiations with Iran are ongoing and the US remains committed to finding a solution.

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%.
