On July 16th, TruStage Chief Economist Steve Rick stated in a report that the lower-than-expected US PPI data is a positive development for the Federal Reserve. "This suggests that inflation may be gradually approaching the Feds target and could further strengthen market expectations that policymakers can keep interest rates unchanged without considering further rate hikes," he noted. He pointed out that while the fight against inflation is not yet over, the softer price data means that the Fed has taken another step forward in achieving a better balance between price stability and maintaining a healthy labor market.July 16th - The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development announced today that the "Guidelines for the Construction of Good Houses (Trial) (Draft for Public Comment)," which was released for public comment in March of this year, has been revised and is now open for public comment again.

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.
