On August 24th, according to foreign media reports, ExxonMobil stated in a statement that a fire in the laundry room of a floating vessel off the coast of Guyana forced the company to temporarily suspend operations at the facility. The statement said the fire on the Liza Unity floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit was quickly extinguished. An ExxonMobil Guyana spokesperson said that crude oil unloading operations were affected due to the temporary shutdown. The Liza oil field is key to Guyanas transformation into a major crude oil producer, and the Liza Unity FPSO is responsible for producing approximately 250,000 barrels of crude oil per day of the more than 900,000 barrels per day in the Stabrok block.According to Al Jazeera: Israeli airstrikes near a hospital in Gaza have injured several people.1.

Trump: Communities that refuse to plan and build data centers are making a mistake. On August 24th, according to Axios, US President Trump defended the expansion of data centers in an interview broadcast on Sunday. He stated that data centers do not draw power from the grid. Trump said, "People are building their own power plants, the most beautiful power plants youve ever seen." He added, "Communities that arent building data centers are making a mistake," because data centers create "a lot of jobs and economic benefits." His remarks came as the Texas governor stated that data center companies are "digging their own graves" and instructed state regulators to require data centers to fully bear the construction costs of their required power infrastructure; meanwhile, the Pennsylvania governor introduced related restrictions, and the New York governor ordered a one-year halt to the construction of hyperscale data centers. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has taken steps to relax some environmental requirements for data centers while urging technology companies to bear more of the electricity costs associated with artificial intelligence construction.According to foreign media reports, soybean oil futures on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) continued to rise in the week ending August 21, 2026, with the benchmark December contract closing 0.9% higher. This reflected soaring crude oil prices, declining soybean oil inventories, and disruptions to Black Sea vegetable oil exports. However, Midwest surveys showed that soybean yield potential was higher than government expectations, unlocking oil-meal arbitrage opportunities and limiting the upside potential of the soybean oil market. International crude oil prices surged, reaching their highest closing price in a month, due to US President Trumps threat to impose economic sanctions on Irans trading partners, raising market expectations of tighter supplies in the coming weeks. Stronger crude oil prices typically boost demand for biofuels, and soybean oil is a key raw material for biofuel production. Meanwhile, the escalating conflict between Russia and Ukraine disrupted exports from Black Sea ports, interrupting sunflower oil exports from the region and forcing buyers to turn to other edible oils such as soybean oil, also supporting the Chicago soybean oil market.

USD/CHF Consolidates Around 0.9040 As Attention Shifts To US Inflation

The USD/CHF pair continues to trade lacklusterly above the crucial support level of 0.9036 in the early Tokyo session. Investors are shifting their focus to Wednesday's release of United States Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, making it difficult for the Swiss Franc to gain traction.

 

As tensions between China and Taiwan escalate, S&P500 futures have pared some of their gains. The market's anxiety has been alleviated by the increasing intensity of Chinese military exercises around Taiwan Island. In addition, concerns of a recession are likely to cause volatility in US equities.

 

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, stated in an interview with CNN that the recent banking turmoil caused by the dissolution of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank has increased the likelihood of a recession in the United States.  Despite the robustness and security of the banking system, the recent turmoil in the financial system is "another weight on the scale" toward recession, he added.

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) is protecting the 102.00 support level ahead of US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. According to the consensus, headline inflation will fall from 6.0% to 5.2%. In addition, the headline monthly CPI would decelerate to 0.3% from 0.4% previously reported. As a consequence of oil prices remaining low in March, inflationary pressures are anticipated to become evident.

 

In contrast, the core CPI, which excludes crude and food prices, is anticipated to increase to 5.6% from 5.5%. The tenacity of inflationary pressures is maintained by the resiliency of demand for essential products, as a result of a higher labor cost index. A similar event could compel the Federal Reserve (Fed) to raise rates again at its May monetary policy meeting.

 

Regarding the Swiss Franc, Swiss markets are suspended on Easter Monday. This week, the Producer Price Index (PPI) data will have an impact on the Swiss Franc.
