According to incomplete statistics, since the beginning of this year, over 20 provinces and cities nationwide, including Guangdong, Hubei, Guizhou, Yunnan, Chengmai County in Hainan, Lhasa in Tibet, Huaian in Jiangsu, Jinjiang in Fujian, and Urumqi in Xinjiang, have introduced housing subsidy policies. The biggest change in these policies is the shift from a universally applicable approach to targeted subsidies to more specific groups. Housing subsidies are becoming increasingly refined and differentiated within the housing market regulation toolbox. The biggest beneficiaries of these targeted subsidies remain high-level talent. For example, Huangpu District in Guangzhou has introduced a talent housing subsidy policy, offering subsidies of 100,000 yuan, 150,000 yuan, 250,000 yuan, and 300,000 yuan respectively to eligible undergraduates (or senior technicians), masters degree holders (or associate senior professional titles, special-grade technicians), doctoral degree holders (or senior professional titles, chief technicians), and postdoctoral fellows who have worked in the district within one year of completing their postdoctoral research.New Zealands National Emergency Management Agency has issued a tsunami warning for coastal areas following a 6.3-magnitude earthquake in the Fiordland region.Kremlin: The difficulties facing the Russian economy are not critical, and macroeconomic stability is guaranteed.

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.
