    January 17th - As the currency volatility triggered by the US oil blockade against Venezuela eases, Venezuela is preparing to resume dollar sales to support its struggling currency. According to sources, several banks in Caracas began contacting corporate clients this week to offer the government's first large-scale dollar supply since mid-December. One source indicated that banks are currently collecting bids, but as of Thursday, no funds had been formally disbursed. The size of the dollar sale and whether the funds will come from new oil sales remain unclear. However, this move comes after the Trump administration authorized the world's two largest commodity traders to sell Venezuelan oil. This has rekindled market hopes that some of the proceeds may flow into the nearly depleted foreign exchange market, stabilizing the bolivar's exchange rate after weeks of volatility.

    On January 17th, sources said the U.S. Department of Energy is exploring a plan to exchange U.S. medium-sulfur crude oil for Venezuelan heavy crude oil to replenish the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The Trump administration is seeking to ship Venezuelan crude to storage tanks at the Louisiana offshore oil port and from there to refineries. Sources said that in exchange for Venezuelan crude, the companies involved would provide U.S. medium-sulfur crude that can be directly stored in the Strategic Reserve. In the past, the government has used this exchange method to release and acquire oil. Typically, in such operations, oil refiners would borrow crude oil from the Strategic Reserve for a short period due to events such as hurricanes or temporary supply disruptions, and then return it in full, paying an additional premium.

    On January 17th, U.S. Treasury prices fell as Trump hinted at nominating someone other than National Economic Council Director Hassett to succeed Powell, and traders reduced their expectations for two U.S. interest rate cuts in 2026. The decline in U.S. Treasuries pushed the two-year yield up as much as 5 basis points to 3.61%, the highest level since the Fed's last rate cut in December. Following Trump's comments on Hassett, short-term interest rate contracts reflected a decreased probability of two 25-basis-point rate cuts by the Fed this year. Meanwhile, the Treasury market continued to be troubled by the December jobs data released a week earlier, prompting Wall Street banks that had previously predicted a rate cut at the Fed's next meeting on January 28th to abandon that view. Morgan inflation economists predict that despite the change in Fed leadership, the Fed will not cut rates further. John Fath, managing partner of BTG Pactual Asset Management U.S., said, "The previous trade was betting that whoever becomes the next Fed chairman will be dovish. That has reversed in the last few days."

    January 17th - According to US media reports, as the world awaits a ruling on Trump's signature tariff policy, the US Supreme Court has set January 20th (Tuesday) as the next ruling day, at which time at least one ruling is likely to be issued. As is customary, the court did not specify which rulings are ready to be issued, only stating that a decision may be delivered when the justices appear in court at 10:00 AM Washington time (11:00 PM Beijing time). If a ruling on the tariff case is not issued next week, it may take at least another month. If the Supreme Court rules against Trump on the tariff issue, it will weaken a core pillar of his economic agenda and represent his biggest legal setback since returning to the White House. The focus of the dispute is the tariffs he imposed on April 2nd, "Liberation Day," a policy that imposes tariffs of 10% to 50% on most imported goods and imposes tariffs on countries such as Canada and Mexico under the pretext of addressing fentanyl trafficking.

    On January 17th, Federal Reserve Governor Bowman stated, "The U.S. economy has shown resilience, and wage growth is currently in line with the 2% inflation target. The Fed has made significant progress in reducing inflation. Underlying inflation is approaching the Fed's 2% target." She expressed concern about the fragility of the labor market: "Under no improvement in demand, businesses may begin to lay off workers. Growth is expected to remain 'solid,' inflation will decline further, and the labor market will stabilize. Given the current risks, the Fed's policy should focus on supporting the labor market. The Fed's policy-making should be forward-looking and driven by economic forecasts." Current monetary policy is at a "moderately restrictive" level. Given the risks in the labor market, the Fed should be prepared to cut interest rates again. Considering these risks, the Fed should not signal a pause in the rate-cutting cycle.
