Since the beginning of this year, influenced by factors such as the tense situation in the Middle East, international crude oil and commodity prices have risen, and inflation levels in major economies have generally increased due to external supply shocks. Recently, the monetary policies of major overseas central banks, such as the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, have shown adjustments or tendencies towards adjustments, which may have spillover effects on the global economy and financial markets. The monetary policy stances of major overseas central banks are trending towards a shift. As of the end of July, among the central banks of major developed economies, the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan had raised interest rates, while the Federal Reserve maintained its interest rate but released hawkish signals. It is expected that this round of monetary policy adjustments by major central banks will be relatively mild. Over the past decade or so, monetary policy adjustments by major central banks have often had significant spillover effects on the global economy and financial markets. However, based on the current situation, it is expected that the magnitude of this round of monetary policy adjustments will be relatively mild, and the impact may be smaller than in the past.

WTI crude oil drifts above $80.00 amidst a US Dollar rebound and supply shortage concerns

In the early hours of Monday, purchasers of WTI crude oil struggled to maintain the price above $80.70 as risk aversion and hawkish Fed forecasts bolstered the US Dollar. However, threats to Oil supplies, primarily emanating from China and OPEC+, appear to keep purchasers of black gold optimistic.

 

US Dollar Index (DXY) reverses a four-day downtrend near 102.25 despite the inability of US Treasury bond yields to recover due to recession concerns. However, US 10-year and 2-year Treasury bond yields remain under pressure near 3.37 percent and 3.95 percent, respectively. In doing so, the benchmark bond coupons extend the previous day's losses and illustrate the market's flight to protection in response to concerns of an economic decline.

 

In spite of this, the recent disappointing US data reignite concerns of a recession in the world's largest economy and challenge the optimists in the energy sector. However, the positive US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data enabled Fed hawks to return to the table and renew demands for a 0.25 percentage point rate hike in May. The same constrains the value of the US dollar and stimulates demand for WTI crude oil.

 

On the other hand, geopolitical concerns surrounding China, particularly after the dragon nation's military exercises near Taiwan, combine with last week's unexpected OPEC+ production cut to keep Oil purchasers optimistic.

 

China's willingness to defend the global economy through robust monetary and fiscal easing at home also enables Oil purchasers to maintain optimism in the face of optimism among the world's largest Oil consumers.

 

The Easter Monday holiday in spot markets may limit Oil price movements, but the investors appear to be out of steam, so US inflation and Fed Minutes will be closely monitored for signs of a pullback.
