The ECB will take action if necessary to keep inflation at its target level.On April 9th, several European financial institutions released reports predicting that international oil prices are unlikely to fall back to pre-US-Iran conflict levels in the short term. The market needs to pay attention to the Strait of Hormuzs traffic flow and the recovery of infrastructure in the Middle East. ING stated that the news of the US and Iran agreeing to a two-week ceasefire alleviated market concerns about long-term oil supply disruptions to some extent, causing international oil prices to fall below $100 per barrel. Future oil price trends will depend on whether a lasting agreement can be reached and whether shipping levels in the Strait can return to normal. Continued market volatility is expected during the negotiations. UBS stated that it is unclear when and to what extent shipping in the Strait will resume, and some tankers will need time to reroute. If traffic in the Strait is disrupted again, energy prices could rebound rapidly. Furthermore, even in an optimistic scenario, the repair of energy infrastructure and the recovery of production will take weeks or even months. Therefore, energy prices are unlikely to fall back to pre-conflict levels in the short term.EU officials suggest that natural gas injection should begin earlier to avoid a late summer buying frenzy.

WTI advances toward $75.00 as China-related demand optimism offsets recession fears

In the early hours of Monday, WTI steadily climbs near the intraday high of $74.70 as bullish emotion competes with economic slowdown worries. Despite this, the weaker US Dollar and a light schedule allow buyers of black gold to maintain control following Friday's mixed performance.

 

In spite of this, the risk profile remains elevated in light of China's reopening of its borders after a three-year closure. On the same line, Guo Shuqing, party secretary of the People's Bank of China, made his remarks (PBOC).

 

Reuters, transmitting China unlock news, claimed that "about 2 billion journeys are anticipated this season, roughly doubling the volume of previous year, and recovering to 70% of 2019 levels," citing a statement from the Chinese government.

 

On the other side, PBOC's Shuqing stated, "The world's second-largest economy is likely to recover rapidly due to the country's optimal Covid-19 response and the continued implementation of its economic policies."

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) fell the most in three weeks the day before, down 0.20% intraday to 103.70 as of press time, as the US employment report failed to excite greenback purchasers and the US activity numbers stoked fears of an economic slowdown. It's worth mentioning that the previous day's disappointing US wage growth, ISM Services PMI, and Factory Orders weighed on Treasury bond yields and the DXY.

 

On a different page, reports regarding a delay in the restoration of the colonial pipeline and the Russia-Ukraine conflict appear to also benefit energy buyers. Traders fear additional rate hikes ahead of the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for December from China and the United States on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, which tests the positive momentum.
