June 17 - Iranian state television reported today (June 17) that three Iranian oil tankers carrying approximately 5 million barrels of crude oil have broken through the US maritime blockade and passed through the Strait of Hormuz, heading towards their destination.On June 17th, Bank of America analysts stated in a report that the Bank of England is unlikely to follow the European Central Bank in raising interest rates on Thursday, but this would not substantially damage market confidence in the pound. The market is currently concerned about a potential policy misstep by the ECB. Analysts said the "second-round effect" triggered by high energy prices will be closely scrutinized, which should support further rate hikes in the UK in the future. However, the market would welcome a more balanced stance from the Bank of England between high inflation risks and weak employment risks. If the price shock persists, the Bank of England might be seen as lagging behind, but this is not currently the case. Bank of America expects the Bank of England to keep interest rates unchanged on Thursday, but raise rates in July and September.June 17th - It was learned today that the State Administration for Market Regulation has revised and released three national standards: "General Technical Requirements for Bicycles," "Bicycle Assembly Requirements," and "Technical Requirements for Bicycle Testing Equipment and Instruments." These standards systematically regulate the technical performance, assembly process, and testing equipment and instruments for bicycles, providing solid standard support for improving the quality and performance of bicycle products in my country and promoting the high-quality development of the industry.Fitch Ratings: The outlook for more emerging market sectors has deteriorated due to the war in Iran.June 17 – According to Al Jazeera, US President Trump stated that reports that the US-Iran agreement included a clause providing $300 billion in reconstruction funds for Tehran are untrue. “We’re not going to put a single penny in,” Trump said. “We’re not investing, and we haven’t set up any funds.” Trump indicated that he did not ask Gulf states to invest in Iran, but “if they’re willing to, that’s fine.” He added, “I don’t think they’ll take any action until they figure out what Iran is doing.”

WTI struggles to surpass $85.00 despite the fact that hurricane Fiona and US President Biden favor bulls

After declining for three consecutive weeks, WTI crude oil prices posted modest gains around $85.30 during Monday's Asian session as traders prepared for the Fed's monetary policy decision. In addition to price-positive news from China and the United States concerning Hurricane Fiona, the price of black gold remains positive. In addition, statements from Vice President Joe Biden appeared to have supported oil prices during a lackluster session.

 

Recent information from the National Hurricane Core (NHC) indicates that the center of hurricane Fiona will approach the northern shore of the Dominican Republic tonight. The Reuters update also stated, "Hurricane Fiona is currently traveling west of Puerto Rico and is headed for the eastern Dominican Republic, producing devastating flooding."

 

The news that Dalian, a city in the Chinese province of Liaoning, will remove the citywide lockdown on Monday also seems to have supported the WTI recovery. On the same line, US President Biden is quoted as saying, "I'm more positive than I've been in a very long time." The national leader also claimed that inflation will be brought under control.

 

Nonetheless, the oil bears are optimistic due to the Fed's hawkish wagers and the economic concerns emanating from China and Europe. Initial September Consumer Sentiment readings from the University of Michigan came in at 59.5, up from 58.6 the previous month but below market expectations of 60.0. With the stronger US statistics, the probability of a 75 basis point (bps) rate hike by the Federal Reserve increased to over 80%, or 82% at the time of publication, while the market's estimates of a complete one percentage point increase in the Fed rate jumped to 18%.

 

In the future, demand concerns are likely to continue exerting downside pressure on the energy market, despite the fact that the absence of important data/events on Monday and hurricane updates are likely to assist the black gold in recouping recent losses.
