[Mitsubishi UFJ Bank: Dollar May Strengthen Further If US and Iran Fail to Reach Peace Agreement] (1) Analysts at Mitsubishi UFJ Bank said the dollar could strengthen further if the US and Iran fail to reach a peace agreement. (2) As the conflict pushes up energy prices, inflation risks are building, which could lead more Federal Reserve officials to express concern about inflation rather than economic growth. (3) Therefore, failure to reach an agreement could cause US Treasury yields to rise again, which would boost the dollar given the renewed correlation between yield spreads and foreign exchange rates. The DXY Dollar Index rose 0.1% to 99.296, after hitting a seven-week high of 99.544 overnight.

(2) Now he faces a very different situation: how to curb the sudden surge in rate hike expectations as other policymakers warn of a resurgence of inflation. Observers say the energy shock triggered by the conflict with Iran has closed the door to rate cuts; for Warsh, maintaining the current interest rate may be a victory. (3) Wolfe Research chief economist Roth points out that the market has no appetite for rate cuts, and Warsh must find a way to eliminate the already priced-in rate hike expectations—his biggest challenge this year.

[Surge in Copper Demand Leaves Peruvian Mining Stuck Between "20 Years" and "Political Distortion"] ⑴ Juan Ignacio Diaz, President and CEO of the International Copper Association, predicts that global copper demand will reach 42 million tons by 2040, equivalent to adding two Antamina-sized projects annually. However, a mining project can take up to 20 years from initiation to production, while data center construction takes only 3 years. ⑵ Perano, President of the Peruvian National Strategic Planning Center, points out that the mining industry contributes 10% to Peru's GDP, and without the current "political distortions" plaguing the country, Peru's economy could achieve 6% growth. He also mentions that 65% of mining royalties are currently frozen. ⑶ Regarding community governance, BHP Billiton's Head of Corporate Affairs for Latin America, D'Aguilar, stated that the industry must address the lack of correlation between economic growth and the well-being of local communities. BHP Billiton's spending with indigenous suppliers increased by 40% in 2025. ⑷ Power infrastructure has become a key bottleneck. Hawkschild Mining CEO Randin stated that the power infrastructure construction timeline has a significant impact on investment decisions, as a 24-hour shutdown at the Makralda mine would result in a $500,000 loss. (5) Bogota Energy Group President Ortega warned that electricity prices in northern Peru could rise by 30% in the coming months due to the inability to transmit cheap electricity from Lima. Building a transmission line takes seven to eight years, while solar projects only take two to three years. Frequent turnover among senior officials in the Ministry of Energy and Mines has also affected investor confidence in Peru's long-term vision.

[TTF Closes Flat and Turns Lower, Iranian Rumors Disrupt Trading, Bullish to €47 on Thursday] ⑴ The European TTF natural gas near-month contract closed at €45.90/MWh on Wednesday, down €1.06/MWh from the previous day. The system balance is loose. The contract was pressured during the session by rumors that Iran had agreed to a draft US peace agreement, but this news was unconfirmed and driven by market speculation. ⑵ The premium of the TTF near-month contract over the NBP near-month contract widened to €2.15/MWh from €1.39/MWh the previous day. ⑶ Fundamentals remain bearish, with non-LDZ demand down 100 GWh/day and LDZ demand further decreasing by 29 GWh/day. ⑷ Iran launched a retaliatory attack on US military bases, threatening the collapse of the ceasefire. Prices are expected to react bullishly on Thursday, with the TTF near-month contract expected to trade between €45.90 and €47.00/MWh. (5) Overall, the market will remain highly sensitive to Middle Eastern headlines, while weak fundamentals may limit the upside potential of the TTF near-month contract.

[US Stock Futures Fall Across the Board on Thursday Amid US-Iran Conflict and Inflation Pressure] ⑴ US stock futures generally declined on Thursday, with Nasdaq futures leading the decline at 0.5%, while S&P 500 and Dow futures both fell by about 0.2%. On Wednesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 0.4% at 50,644 points, and the Nasdaq Composite Index rose slightly by 0.1% to 26,675 points. ⑵ The US launched strikes against Iran, and Iran attacked US military bases in Kuwait. Market concerns about geopolitical risks stemming from Trump's tariff rhetoric, coupled with the ongoing US-Iran conflict, have cast doubt on the prospects for a ceasefire, dashing hopes for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. ⑶ Oil prices surged 3% in response, with WTI breaking through $91 and Brent crude reaching $97. The 10-year US Treasury yield briefly rose above 4.5%. ⑷ Core PCE data will be released on Thursday. This indicator has been climbing steadily since November of last year, reaching 3.2% year-on-year in March and is expected to rise to 3.3% in April. The market has already begun pricing in the possibility of an interest rate hike before the end of the year. (5) The new chairman, Warsh, is reportedly more focused on the “cut-off mean” version of the CPI, and today’s inflation data will significantly influence the direction of interest rate expectations.

[IEA: Middle East war triggers the world's largest energy security crisis, reshaping the investment landscape] (1) International Energy Agency Executive Director Fatih Birol said that the world is in the midst of the largest energy security crisis in history, with an impact comparable to the reshaping of the energy landscape after the oil crisis of the 1970s; countries are opening up new supply routes and turning to domestic resources. (2) The report points out that producing and consuming countries are accelerating the diversification of trade routes and energy sources, including accelerating the construction of new infrastructure such as pipelines and increasing the development of domestic resources. Despite rising oil prices, global oil investment is expected to shrink to below US$500 billion for the third consecutive year in 2026, constrained by uncertain oil price prospects, long project cycles, and supply chain bottlenecks. (3) Oil-importing countries are turning to renewable energy, nuclear energy and coal: renewable energy investment is expected to reach about US$665 billion in 2026 (US$365 billion for solar energy), over US$80 billion for nuclear energy, and US$180 billion for coal (the highest in a decade).

(2) The minutes noted that several members said they would not have opposed raising interest rates if the meeting had included it on the agenda; the value of “pausing interest rate hikes to preserve policy options” has declined since the last meeting. (3) The central bank also said that the appropriateness of not taking any monetary policy action and simply “temporarily ignoring” the current situation has become increasingly less.

[Guangzhou Futures Exchange Adjusts Position Limits for Lithium Carbonate Futures] On May 28, the Guangzhou Futures Exchange (GFE) announced adjustments to the position limits for general months of lithium carbonate futures contracts. Starting with the lithium carbonate futures contract LC2610, from the contract listing date to the 9th trading day of the month preceding the delivery month (i.e., the general month), the position limit is 5% of the contract's total open interest when the single-sided open interest exceeds 60,000 lots, and 3,000 lots when the single-sided open interest is below 60,000 lots. A GFE official stated that this adjustment was made based on a thorough assessment of the product's performance, combined with market development needs and the requirements of "strengthening supervision, preventing risks, and promoting high-quality development," aiming to ensure the stable operation of the futures market. Going forward, the GFE will continue to optimize product rules, strengthen risk assessment and market supervision, and strive to ensure the safe and stable operation of the futures market. Industry insiders believe this adjustment can be understood as a reduction in position limits and stricter position management. Industrial clients can apply for hedging position limits based on their operational needs; this adjustment to position limits will not affect their participation. (Guangzhou Futures Exchange)

[Japan's Naphtha Imports Plunge 47% in April, Middle Eastern Imports Drop 79%, Putting Pressure on Chemical Supply Chain] ⑴ Data released by Japan's Ministry of Finance on Thursday showed that Japan's imports of petroleum-derived naphtha in April fell 47% year-on-year to 1.14 million kiloliters. Imports from the Middle East plummeted 79.1%, recording only 341,700 kiloliters, and its share of total imports dropped sharply from about 70% to 30%. ⑵ Regional conflicts have severely disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial global oil transport route. To compensate for the shortage, Japan's naphtha imports from other regions surged 52.4% year-on-year. ⑶ Naphtha is a key raw material for the chemical industry, widely used in products such as plastics, adhesives, and solvents in coatings and paints. Supply shortages are impacting resource-scarce industries in Japan. It has been reported that several food and beverage companies, including major brands, have been forced to simplify product packaging designs and raise prices due to the tightening supply of key raw materials such as naphtha.
