S&P Global: Japans power sector is regaining momentum.Germanys GfK consumer confidence index fell to -28 in April, the lowest level since March 2024.On March 26, S&P Global Energy analyst Lucien Muhlberg stated, "We expect this natural gas price crisis to prompt some countries to reconsider their natural gas demand growth rates, thus LNG demand growth will also be lower than our pre-war forecasts." S&P Global Energy projects that Qatar and the UAE will reduce their natural gas exports by 33 million tons this year. Furthermore, due to potential delays in the expansion of Qatars North Field gas field and the Ruwais LNG project under construction by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, S&P has further reduced its expected supply by 19 million tons per year from 2027 to 2029.March 26 – At a briefing of the House Armed Services Committee on Wednesday, many House Republicans expressed growing frustration over the objectives and duration of a potential war with Iran. Among them was Republican Representative Nancy Mays, who claimed she stormed out of the briefing and would reject any requests for additional funding for the war. “I think the House Armed Services Committee was misled at the briefing. They didn’t provide many answers,” Mays said. “The longer this drags on, the less support there will be for Republicans.” The representative also criticized recent comments from Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who claimed the U.S. should continue fighting Iran and seize control of Kharg Island. “I will not let the children of South Carolina go to war and die for oil prices. I will never do that,” Mays said. “I think Graham is so arrogant that he hasn’t seriously thought about or considered the consequences of us taking Kharg Island.” “Tell me, what war have we won in the last 70 years?” Mays asked.On March 26, the British government announced that the British Armed Forces would have the right to board Russian "shadow fleet" vessels transiting British waters. A press release from the Prime Ministers Office stated that Prime Minister Starmer had authorized the British Armed Forces and law enforcement officials to intercept vessels sanctioned by the UK that were transiting British waters. The British government stated that in recent weeks, the Royal Navy has been working with allies to monitor and track Russian "shadow fleet" vessels. The UK is currently seeking to exert greater pressure on Russia. The statement also noted that several European countries have recently launched operations against "suspected illegal shadow fleet vessels" in the Baltic Sea. The statement added that the UK will "further tighten" its control over the "shadow fleet," prohibiting sanctioned vessels from entering its waters.

Near 0.8670, the EUR/GBP shows a careless drop; attention is on UK employment

The EUR/GBP pair displayed a minor pullback on Monday after hitting a four-day low of about 0.8650. After finishing the retreat, it is projected that the cross will start moving downward and that it will quicken its slide after losing the crucial support level of 0.8650. According to incoming job data from the United Kingdom, the asset will probably change.

 

Forecasts indicate that the unemployment rate in the UK will remain at 3.8%. The unemployment rate won't change even if the number of people collecting unemployment benefits will drop by 9.2k. Due to higher payouts in an inflationary environment, the Average Earnings data is the catalyst that families should take into account. The labor cost index would significantly rise from 4.7% to 5%, helping households offset the higher payments brought on by soaring inflation.

 

Additionally, Wednesday's UK inflation figures will be crucial. It is projected that the UK's Consumer Price Index (CPI) will stay over 10% at 10.2%. The Bank of England (BOE) will be forced to raise interest rates as a result. The difference in policy between the Bank of England and the European Central Bank could be made worse by this.

 

The bulls of the single currency must contend with rising energy prices. The quantity of energy needed to run heaters and other heat-generating devices will rise over the upcoming winter season in Europe. As a result, the need for energy will rise even further. The ECB unexpectedly raised interest rates by 75 basis points (bps) last week; this week, it will announce more rate rises as long as price pressures exceed the planned rate.

 

Due to rising energy prices, the corporate sector in the eurozone is going through a period of declining profitability. Major corporations' input costs have increased as a result of rising energy prices, reducing their operating margins and forcing some businesses into bankruptcy. Their financial performance is significantly impacted by rising energy prices and interest rates.
