[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.

[Wash Faces Challenge: Door to Rate Cuts Closed, Need to Curb Rate Hike Expectations] (1) Kevin Warsh won the race for Federal Reserve chairman partly because he outlined a path to rate cuts. (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).

[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)

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.

The plan proposes to build a sustainable urban construction, operation, investment, and financing system. It also calls for improved fiscal support policies, providing support for eligible projects through central budget investment, central government financial support for urban renewal initiatives, and allowing local government special bonds to support eligible urban renewal projects, which can be used as project capital.

If the situation does not improve in the coming weeks, market supply is expected to become increasingly tight, especially in the aviation fuel market. The statement noted that the European Commission's Gas Coordination Group held talks with EU countries on May 26th, and the Petroleum Coordination Group also met on May 25th to discuss the security of EU gas and oil supplies given the ongoing tensions in the Middle East. The Gas Coordination Group stated that EU gas storage levels could reach 80% by the end of summer, ensuring gas supplies for the winter of 2026-2027. The organization reiterated the need for regular assessments of gas storage facility fill levels based on actual conditions. (CCTV News)

[Hamas: Israel's Increased Military Operations Threaten Ceasefire Agreement to Collapse] The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) issued a statement on the 28th, saying that the first phase of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip is "on the verge of collapse" due to Israel's escalating military operations. The statement said that Israel launched a heavy airstrike on a residential building in downtown Gaza on the evening of the 27th, killing 10 people, including two children and two women, and injuring dozens more. More than 20 people have died in the past 48 hours alone due to Israel's escalating attacks on the Gaza Strip. The statement indicated that this demonstrates Israel's intention to resume its genocidal war in Gaza, ignoring its commitments and the efforts of the guarantor states. The statement called on the United States and the guarantor states to fulfill their responsibilities, condemn Israel's breach of the agreement, and take concrete and effective measures to compel Israel to comply with its terms. In recent days, the Israeli military has intensified its airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, killing Hamas military leaders in the attacks. A recent report from the Gaza Strip health department shows that since the ceasefire agreement took effect on October 10, 2025, more than 900 Palestinians have been killed and more than 2,000 injured in Israeli military operations.

[Approximately 300,000 Traditional Medicine Practitioners in South Africa Have Been Unregulated for Nearly 20 Years, Law Implementation Delayed for a Long Time] (1) The Health Committee of the South African Parliament stated that due to the failure to implement key provisions of the Traditional Medicine Practitioners Act for many years, approximately 300,000 traditional medicine practitioners have been unregulated for a long time, resulting in a serious regulatory gap. (2) The Act was passed in 2007, and a statutory council was established in 2014, but the core provisions have not been implemented after 12 years; the council's funding is extremely limited (the 2024 budget is approximately 6.7 million rand), and the model of relying on registration fees is impractical because many practitioners are located in economically vulnerable rural communities. (3) The committee pointed out that the lack of a registration system makes it impossible to verify or regulate practitioners, exposing the public to the risk of harmful medical practices; the council has been in a "provisional" state since 2014, weakening accountability. The Ministry of Health and the council claimed that the delay was due to a backlog of regulatory approvals and procurement difficulties, but the committee believed that the explanation was insufficient and requested the submission of detailed written materials and a clear implementation plan.

[Berenberg: Ferrari's electric car Luce is a high-risk bet] (1) Berenberg analysts point out that Ferrari's electric car represents a huge bet aimed at expanding its product portfolio and attracting increasingly tech-savvy affluent buyers, but the reputation of this 80-year-old brand is also at risk. (2) The car's design is vastly different from traditional Ferraris, and initial customer reactions to images ranged from shock to harsh criticism, but attitudes changed after seeing the actual car (especially the interior). (3) Some customers may find it difficult to see the Luce as a true Ferrari, and social media backlash may persist, but this does not affect the investment rationale. Berenberg expects 25 units shipped in the fourth quarter and 1,000 units by 2027; Ferrari's stock price rose 1.2%.

[Trump Makes a Strong Statement: Rejecting Uranium Enrichment in Exchange for Sanctions, Strait Must Be Fully Open, Oman Will Be Bombed if It Doesn't Obey] ⑴ US President Trump made it clear that even if Iran abandons its highly enriched uranium, it will not receive the lifting of US sanctions. "It's not a trade-off," he said, adding that Iran's abandonment of highly enriched uranium "is absolutely not in exchange for sanctions relief." Trump also expressed dissatisfaction with the progress of negotiations with Iran, stating that Iran is eager to reach an agreement, but the US is not yet satisfied. "If we can't reach an agreement, we may have to go back to work." ⑵ Trump demanded that the Strait of Hormuz be open to everyone and not controlled by any single country. Regarding reports of Iran and Oman jointly controlling the strait, he threatened Oman that it "will behave itself" and reject any such mechanism, "otherwise we will have to bomb them." Trump also stated that if Iran thinks he will soften his stance to avoid a prolonged standoff, it is mistaken. "I don't care about the midterm elections." ⑶ On domestic policy, Trump indicated that the government might discuss the possibility of suspending the federal gasoline tax with Congress, saying, "Let's see what happens in the next week or two." The government also plans to invest in drone companies to increase domestic production capacity. Furthermore, a U.S. judge refused to block Trump's executive order tightening mail-in voting rules, a positive development for the Republican Party in the midterm elections. (4) In foreign policy, the Trump administration has reportedly privately instructed federal prosecutors in Miami to suspend the criminal investigation into Venezuela's acting president to avoid impacting efforts to stabilize the country. Simultaneously, the government is gradually escalating economic sanctions, attempting to strangle the Cuban regime through a "slow-motion" tightening strategy. Additionally, Trump filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal over a report concerning Epstein.
