June 9th - According to a foreign media report citing an Indian trade official, India is seeking new preferential tariff terms from the United States in negotiations to finalize a provisional trade agreement with Washington. The US and India reached a preliminary agreement on a trade deal in February, but progress slowed after the US Supreme Court overturned President Trumps comprehensive tariff measures. Subsequently, the US proposed an additional 12.5% tariff on imports from India and other countries. The US is also considering another tariff on India, citing overcapacity in sectors such as textiles. The Indian trade official said, "Once we can finalize this tariff, we can finalize a trade agreement with the US. But obviously, this rate must be competitive with direct competitors. India will seek assurances from the US that no further additional tariffs will be imposed on India in the future after an agreement is reached."Market news: AstraZenecas (AZN.O) oral obesity medication helped patients lose 10.5% of their weight in trials.Cadence announced a collaboration with Intel (INTC.O) foundries to accelerate optimization of Intels 14A process for HPC and mobile designs.Applied Digital (APLD.O) has signed a 210 MW lease agreement for the Delta Forge2 project, expanding its “AI Factory” franchise model to its fifth campus.The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 80.77 points, or 0.16%, at 50,786.01 on Monday, June 8; the S&P 500 rose 21.94 points, or 0.30%, to 7,405.68 on Monday, June 8; and the Nasdaq Composite rose 220.23 points, or 0.86%, to 25,929.66 on Monday, June 8.

Natural Gas prices fall below $2.70 despite USD Index attempts to recover, and demand concerns grow

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%.
