May 2nd - According to foreign media reports, the German auto industry is calling for an immediate de-escalation of the tariff dispute between the US and the EU, and demanding that both sides begin negotiations immediately.

Hildegard Müller, president of the lobbying group German Association of the Automotive Industry, said in an emailed statement on Saturday: "The US-EU trade agreement must be mutually respected. This also means that the EU must finally approve its due portions of the agreement reached last summer." A spokesperson stated that the EU is fulfilling its commitments according to standard legislative procedures and has consistently provided full information to the US administration. The spokesperson added that the European Commission will seek a clear explanation from the US while reserving various options to protect EU interests.The China Earthquake Networks Center officially determined that a 4.6-magnitude earthquake occurred in Kuqa City, Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang, at 19:34 on May 2, with a focal depth of 17 kilometers.Ukrainian President Zelensky: It is very important to know that Slovakia supports Ukraines accession to the European Union and is willing to share its experience in accession.Ukrainian President Zelensky: I spoke with the Slovak Prime Minister.

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%.
