With the November midterm elections approaching, the Trump administration is seeking to alleviate the pressure on consumers caused by the Iran war. Companies expected to attend include refiners such as Valero Energy, Marathon Oil, and PBF Energy, as well as major fuel retailers. Republicans are trying to maintain their slim majority in Congress in the November elections. Currently, the price of regular gasoline in the US remains above $4 per gallon, about $1 higher than a year ago. The Iran war has disrupted global energy markets and led to tighter supplies of gasoline and other refined products. Major US oil companies and refiners reported strong second-quarter results. These results have drawn criticism from Trump, who believes that oil companies benefiting from price increases should do more to reduce costs for consumers. He has publicly pressured major oil producers and refiners to lower prices.On August 28th, it was learned that a U.S. federal judge lifted a nationwide injunction on August 26th against new rules for mail-in ballots issued by the U.S. Postal Service. The new rules required states to redesign ballot envelopes and upload voter lists to the Postal Service; if these requirements were not met, the Postal Service could refuse to mail the ballots. It is understood that the U.S. government had repeatedly proposed deploying federal law enforcement officers or Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel near polling stations, and the Department of Justice was also preparing to deploy approximately 1,000 election watchdogs. However, many of these measures still face legal and political obstacles.

USD/CAD Bears In Control And Aiming At Support Zone Lows

The USD/CAD exchange rate is unchanged on the day after a succession of negative impulses drove the price into new territory to the downside and deeper into a support region as a result of the oil price rally. The USD/CAD exchange rate was 1.3431 at the time of writing.

 

Monday's 6.3% rise in West Texas Intermediate WTI crude oil to an intraday high of $81.51 strengthened the CAD. The oil price surged after the OPEC+ cartel surprised the market with a production cut of 1.1 million barrels per day to support prices, with the cartel announcing that it will reduce output prior to Monday's ministerial meeting.

 

Analysts at TD Securities observed that the Bank of Canada's Business/Consumer Surveys painted a more dovish picture ahead of the April BoC meeting, with a marked improvement in capacity pressures and consumer inflation expectations.

 

Analysts noted that firm-level inflation expectations continue to be elevated and that consumer growth and income expectations have also increased since the fourth quarter.

 

''The Bank of Canada should be pleased with these results, which indicate a decline in capacity pressures and a moderation in inflationary pressures. However, inflation expectations remain a formidable impediment to near-term relief. If growth does not decelerate substantially in the second quarter, it may be difficult for the Bank of Canada to keep rates at 4.50 percent. Analysts believe that the report is optimistic for CAD.
