[Diesel Prices Hit Record High Amid Refinery Shutdowns and Peak Demand in the US Midwest] ⑴ ExxonMobil's large Midwestern diesel refinery, Joliet, has completely shut down. The plant has a daily processing capacity of approximately 275,000 barrels. ⑵ The plant produces approximately 11 million gallons of gasoline and diesel daily, and its operations were halted due to a complete power outage. ⑶ Energy agencies had initially expected normal production to resume by the end of the week, but it has not yet resumed operations, with the shutdown lasting far longer than anticipated. ⑷ US diesel prices rose to a new record high of $6.45 per gallon today, representing a year-to-date increase of nearly 90%. ⑸ BP's Whiting refinery in Indiana is also partially shut down, coinciding with the peak diesel demand season in the US. ⑹ Diesel prices rose approximately 45 cents in the seven days following the breach of $6, and at this rate, they may break $7 by October. ⑺ The current situation coincides with the autumn harvest and the approaching winter, with Joliet shutting down, Whiting reducing production, and Russian diesel exports suspended. (8) Saudi Aramco's tender for diesel in Europe and the US's consideration of suspending exports have exacerbated supply shortages. (9) From a market sentiment perspective, the bottleneck in middle distillate supply has become a key variable driving up inflation and transportation costs. (10) Going forward, attention should be paid to the progress of refinery resumption, changes in export policies, and whether diesel crack spreads can remain high.

[US Stock Futures Hold Steady Ahead of Massive Options Expiry, Bank of Japan Rate Hike Weakens Yen] ⑴ US stock futures were little changed on Friday, with large-cap tech stocks rising and a slight drop in oil prices providing support for market sentiment. ⑵ The near-record-sized expiry of approximately $7 trillion in options and index rebalancing added complexity to the day's trading. ⑶ S&P 500 futures rose slightly by about 0.1%, and Nasdaq futures rose by about 0.3%, with the tech sector continuing to lead the gains. ⑷ Most large-cap tech stocks rose in pre-market trading, with Alphabet up about 2%, and Nvidia, Tesla, and Amazon rising slightly. ⑸ US Treasury yields resumed their decline, with the 10-year yield rising about 3 basis points to around 4.97%, flattening the yield curve. ⑹ The Bank of Japan raised interest rates by 25 basis points as expected, but the vote was divided, with two members opposing, causing the yen to fall by about 1.2% against the dollar. ⑺ The dollar index rose slightly by about 0.2%, and gold rose towards $4,400 per ounce. (8) Brent crude oil traded around $104 per barrel, while WTI remained flat at $96. Weaker diesel and crude oil prices eased inflation concerns. (9) Some institutions pointed out that geopolitical tensions are at a temporary high, and if the US and Iran reach some kind of agreement in the coming weeks, both the bond and stock markets may benefit. (10) Option expiration may release positions that previously suppressed actual volatility, and the premium of individual stock volatility relative to the VIX has narrowed significantly since July. (11) US equity funds saw net inflows of approximately $63.8 billion in the past week, the largest in three months, and index rebalancing will include some new constituent stocks. (12) Market focus has shifted to next week's major power summit and AI issues, with energy prices and monetary policy expectations remaining the main drivers.

[Rumors of Russian Gas's Return to Germany Emerge, Intertwined with Geopolitical and Political Games] ⑴ Sources indicate that the Russian President's chief economic envoy and the leadership of Germany's Alternative for Germany (AfD) have begun preparations for a meeting next year to discuss resuming gas supplies to Germany. ⑵ The talks could take place as early as March next year, provided that Russia and Ukraine first reach a peace framework agreement. ⑶ Participants include the head of Russia's sovereign wealth fund and close advisor to Putin, Dmitriev, as well as AfD co-chairs Weidel and Churupala. ⑷ Organizers hope this will facilitate contact between the AfD, Russia, and the United States. ⑸ Possible locations include Israel, the UAE, or India. ⑹ This move highlights the close relationship between Moscow and the AfD, currently the most popular political party in Germany based on voter support. ⑺ Before Western sanctions in 2022, Russia supplied more than half of Germany's gas imports. ⑻ From a market sentiment perspective, any expectation of Russian gas's return could influence European gas prices and refinery feedstock cost expectations. (9) However, whether the talks can be finalized depends on the progress of the Russia-Ukraine peace framework, and the short-term substantive impact is limited. (10) The reaction of mainstream German political parties and whether the EU's stance on sanctions will soften need to be monitored. (11) Overall, this seems more like a political signal than an immediate supply-side shift.

20:36:33

[Saudi Crude Oil Supply Disruption to Europe: European Refineries Face a Major Test Before Winter] ⑴ Saudi Aramco has notified at least two European refineries that they will not receive crude oil deliveries next month; this decision reportedly applies to all European buyers. ⑵ The market had previously hoped that Saudi Arabia's east-west pipeline would restore about half of its capacity and resume loading to Europe, but this hope was dashed before the weekend. ⑶ This pipeline, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz and transporting crude oil to Red Sea export terminals, is crucial for restoring European energy supplies. ⑷ The supply disruption will force refineries to seek alternative sources in other regions and push up crude oil prices in the international market. ⑸ This could increase feedstock costs, adding pressure to the European refined product market before the Northern Hemisphere winter. ⑹ The latest data from the International Energy Agency shows that OECD countries imported approximately 577,000 barrels of Saudi crude oil per day in June. ⑺ Some European buyers have already begun scrambling for supplies; Örön, Poland, issued more than 10 tenders this week seeking alternative supplies. (8) The shutdown of the east-west pipeline due to the drone attack earlier this month has significantly impacted the oil market, which had already seen Brent crude futures break through $100 per barrel. (9) Saudi Arabia had been operating this 7 million barrel per day pipeline at full capacity since the US-Iran conflict. (10) The turmoil in the Middle East has led JPMorgan's commodities chief to admit that this is the first time since the Iranian conflict that there is no baseline scenario, making it difficult to model the endgame. (11) On Friday, Brent crude traded at around $103, WTI at around $101, and the US diesel crack spread at around $112. (12) The global refining crisis is raising concerns about a repeat of the 2008 gasoline shock, and tight diesel and natural gas inventories limit the margin for error during the winter.

[Drought and Geopolitical Disturbances Intertwine, Uncertainty Remains for US Wheat Farmers' Expansion Plans] ⑴ US wheat prices have risen to a near three-year high, but Kansas farmer Nelson remains uncertain about his profit prospects. ⑵ Record-breaking input costs for fertilizers and diesel, coupled with spring weather disruptions leading to a complete wheat crop failure, have dampened the willingness to expand planting. ⑶ The ongoing drought in the southern Great Plains has worsened planting conditions, with some farmers even considering reducing acreage rather than chasing higher prices. ⑷ Market strategists point out that drought in Europe and the US is eroding harvests, and the strong El Niño signal further complicates the crop outlook. ⑸ Wheat stocks in major exporting countries are reportedly at their second-lowest levels in history, and Australia's planted area has decreased by more than 10% due to drought expectations and rising fertilizer prices. ⑹ El Niño may also bring wetter conditions to the southern Great Plains in the fall and winter; during the last strong event, US winter wheat yields reached record highs. ⑺ Attacks on Black Sea port facilities have disrupted grain shipments; the region accounts for about one-third of global wheat trade, significantly reducing supply accessibility. (8) Analysts estimate that at most 35% to 50% of Black Sea wheat may be diverted for export, but this will take longer and be more costly. (9) Some agricultural research institute leaders worry that the combination of reduced yields due to weather and geopolitical shocks may push global food prices higher than current levels. (10) The US winter wheat planting area is expected to increase by about 10% compared to last year, but the historically low harvest area indicates that structural contraction is unlikely to be reversed by one year of high prices. (11) Farmers need yields at or above average levels to cover the high break-even costs; otherwise, expanding planting may not necessarily increase profits. (12) Excessive dryness in the soil of the Southern Great Plains has already affected seed germination; subsequent weather and input costs remain key variables in determining planting decisions.

20:21:38

[European Inland Barge Freight Rates Remain Stable, Regional Price Differences Reflect Logistics Landscape] ⑴ Latest European inland barge freight rate data shows that dry bulk freight rates from Rotterdam to various German ports remained generally stable on September 18th. ⑵ Based on 1200-ton barges, the freight rate from Rotterdam to Duisburg was around €13/ton, at a low level in the region. ⑶ The price from Rotterdam to Cologne was around €15/ton, while to Frankfurt, Mainz, and other destinations it was around €18-20/ton. ⑷ Prices to southern inland nodes such as Basel, Strasbourg, and Würzburg were relatively high, around €25-28/ton. ⑸ Freight rates from German ports to Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Ghent, and other areas were mostly concentrated between €21-29/ton. ⑹ The price difference for routes departing from the east coast of the UK and German Baltic ports was more pronounced, with prices to some destinations in Southern Europe rising significantly. (7) Overall, freight rate gradients roughly reflect the matching degree between voyage distance, waterway conditions, and return cargo, with more intense competition at short-haul and mainline nodes. (8) Market sentiment is neutral, with participants paying more attention to the impact of water level changes, fuel costs, and the pace of industrial goods shipments on subsequent quotations. (9) If inland waterway levels remain normal, barge freight rates may continue to consolidate within a narrow range in the short term, with limited regional arbitrage opportunities. (10) Going forward, attention should be paid to German industrial activity and port congestion, as these will directly affect barge turnaround efficiency and bargaining power.

20:21:32

[Maersk Orders Dual-Fuel Vessels, Accelerating Green Transformation] ⑴ Maersk announced an order for 26 large container ships as part of its fleet renewal plan. ⑵ These vessels will each have a capacity of approximately 18,600 TEUs and will all be equipped with dual-fuel engines capable of using liquefied natural gas (LNG). ⑶ The new ships are expected to be delivered gradually between 2029 and 2030, meaning that capacity will be released gradually over the next few years. ⑷ From a market sentiment perspective, this move signals that the shipping giant remains confident in medium- to long-term container shipping demand. ⑸ The dual-fuel configuration continues the shipping industry's carbon reduction strategy, further strengthening the role of LNG as a transitional fuel. ⑹ However, the large-scale new ship order has also raised concerns about long-term capacity oversupply, especially against the backdrop of slowing demand growth. ⑺ Going forward, attention needs to be paid to whether the delivery schedule and the scrapping speed of older vessels can offset each other, as well as the follow-up of fuel supply facilities. ⑻ For investors, green ship capital expenditures will impact Maersk's free cash flow and depreciation pressure. (9) If liquefied natural gas prices remain volatile, the economic viability of dual-fuel operations remains uncertain, potentially dragging down the return on investment cycle. (10) Overall, this order balances compliance and competitiveness, but the capacity to absorb the excess capacity will be the key to its success.

[Venezuela is reportedly discussing transferring $4 billion in gold reserves from the Bank of England to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York] (1) According to the Financial Times, citing sources familiar with the matter, Venezuela is reportedly discussing transferring its gold reserves from the Bank of England to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. (2) The Financial Times reported in mid-August that Venezuela wanted the Bank of England to return its gold reserves valued at $4 billion. (3) The report noted that the UK has refused to recognize the Venezuelan government since 2019 and has prevented it from accessing approximately 31 tons of Venezuelan gold stored in the Bank of England's vaults. (4) The report stated: "The Venezuelan government and the country's opposition are close to reaching an agreement to transfer approximately $4 billion in gold reserves held by the central bank from the Bank of England to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York." (5) The article stated that, under the conditions of the discussion, the current Venezuelan government would likely gain legal control over the gold but would not be able to sell it immediately; the funds could be used as collateral for Venezuelan loans, including for recovery and reconstruction following the June earthquake. (6) According to an earlier report by the American news website Axios on September 18, US President Trump plans to hold his first bilateral meeting with Venezuelan interim president Rodriguez during the UN General Assembly meeting in New York next week.

[US Treasury Funding Market: GC Opens Stable, Short Surge Pushes Up 2-Year and 5-Year Premiums] ⑴ General collateral rates opened flat at the 3.89% bid price. The approximately $13 billion outflow from the 20-year Treasury settlement did not push up overnight rates. ⑵ A large sell-off in the fixed-income market generated ample cash seeking refuge in the collateral market, preventing overnight rates from drifting towards the upper edge of the 3.75% to 4.00% interest rate corridor. General collateral rates are expected to trade between 3.89% and 3.84%, with yesterday's settlement price of 3.89% providing support. ⑶ Next week's settlement flow will generate approximately $13 billion in net inflows, potentially pushing general collateral rates below the midpoint of the interest rate corridor. ⑷ Ahead of next week's 2-year and 5-year Treasury auctions, short positions surged, with premiums rising by approximately 200 basis points and 315 basis points respectively, to approximately 284 basis points and 348 basis points. (5) Holding short positions in these instruments over the weekend would cost approximately $304 and $368 per million USD, respectively, equivalent to about 1.7 basis points for the 2-year term and about 0.86 basis points for the 5-year term. (6) With the settlement of today's 20-year auction, the 20-year premium fell from about 189 basis points to about 9 basis points. (7) According to institutional data, federal funds futures are pricing in a probability of about 55% for a 25 basis point rate hike at the October meeting. (8) Current 1- to 3-month interest rates are about 0.3 to 9.4 basis points higher than the 3.89% secured overnight funding rate. (9) Regarding term repo quotes, the 1-month rate is about 3.893%, the 2-month rate is about 3.949%, and the 3-month rate is about 3.984%. (10) Regarding short-term overnight index swaps, the 0x3 term swap is quoted at about 4.016%, pricing in a probability of about 50% for a 25 basis point rate hike in the next 90 days. 11. Overnight funding rate futures opened down about 0.5 to 3 basis points, giving back about half of yesterday's gains.

[US Treasury yields mostly rose and the yield curve flattened after the Bank of Japan's rate hike] ⑴ The Bank of Japan raised its overnight interest rate to 1.25%, the highest since 1995. The decision was in line with expectations, but two committee members dissented. US Treasury yields mostly rose, the yield curve flattened, the yen weakened, stock markets were expected to open higher, and oil prices fell by more than 1%. ⑶ The central bank's statement said that the Japanese economy is expected to continue to grow moderately, despite uncertainties in the Middle East. It also mentioned increased global demand related to artificial intelligence, producer price inflation remained high, and consumer prices rose moderately. ⑸ The statement also said that given the accommodative financial conditions, the central bank believes it is appropriate to adjust the degree of monetary easing from the perspective of achieving the 2% price target sustainably and stably, and emphasized that financial conditions will remain accommodative after the rate hike. ⑹ Regarding future actions, the central bank said it will consider adjusting the timing and pace, while reviewing the likelihood and risks of achieving the baseline scenario for economic activity and price outlook, including the Middle East situation, the expansion of demand for artificial intelligence, and exchange rate trends. (7) The central bank governor stated at a press conference that whether to raise interest rates significantly or continuously depends on whether Japan faces significant inflation risks or whether inflation significantly exceeds the target. Underlying inflation has not yet exceeded 2%, and the central bank hopes to maintain this state, thus favoring a preemptive approach. (8) He also responded to the US Treasury Secretary, stating that policy guidance focuses on how exchange rate fluctuations affect domestic inflation, rather than guiding policy to control or stabilize the exchange rate within a certain range. (9) Despite some hawkish statements in the statement and press conference, the two dissenting voices made the overall assessment of this rate hike dovish, resulting in a weak performance for the yen. The USD/JPY exchange rate fluctuated between 155.96 and 158.05, last trading at approximately 157.77, up about 1.2%. (10) Japanese government bond yields for 2- to 30-year bonds closed down 0.5 to 2 basis points, while the 40-year yield rose by about 1.5 basis points. (11) The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note fell for the third consecutive trading day from its previous high, reaching a weekly low of approximately 4.92%, still about 10 basis points above the Bollinger Band's middle line, and currently about 1 basis point lower than Friday's closing price of approximately 4.975%. (12) The yield curve has flattened most significantly since Wednesday's Fed meeting, with both bond and stock volatility declining sharply. The market seems to be more accustomed to the Fed Chairman's tone. Next week, attention will be focused on month-end supply and speeches by Fed officials. The Treasury will auction approximately $183 billion in 2-year, 5-year, and 7-year Treasury notes and approximately $28 billion in 2-year floating-rate notes.

[Oil Market Enters a "Shrug" Moment, Uncertainty Dominates Trading and Mergers] ⑴ One institutional researcher bluntly stated in a report that for the first time since the outbreak of the Iranian conflict, there is no baseline view, and it is unclear how to model the endgame. Although the wording is unusually straightforward, this sentiment is shared to varying degrees by market participants. ⑵ Market observers have accepted the reality that the situation in the Strait of Hormuz and the volume of oil passing through will remain chaotic in the coming months, and continued disruption to Middle Eastern crude oil will continue to erode the market's buffer capacity. ⑶ The institution initially assumed that the White House would not cross certain economic red lines, including oil prices around $100, gasoline prices approaching $5 per gallon, and the 10-year US Treasury yield hitting 5%. However, six months later, many red lines have been crossed, and the exit strategy is even more unclear. ⑷ However, the institution believes that the decline in oil demand has played a greater role than expected in alleviating supply pressure, slowing the depletion of oil inventories in various countries. Therefore, concerns about near-depletion of inventories are premature, and there is still sufficient buffer to keep prices relatively under control. ⑸ Even so, soaring energy costs and shortages continue to cause pain, anger, and turmoil in many countries around the world. (6) Uncertainty also impacts transaction activity. High and volatile prices are disrupting mergers and acquisitions in the exploration and production sectors. Conflict is both a headwind and a tailwind; high prices are prompting more companies, including US shale producers, to test the market. (7) The global M&A market opportunity value has ballooned to approximately $137 billion, but price volatility is widening valuation expectation gaps, making deals more difficult to complete. More flexible agreement structures and stronger safeguards are expected to emerge to mitigate commodity price and delivery risks. (8) Some analysts have concluded that oil price volatility has created a deeper collection of opportunities, but it has also made deals more difficult to execute.

19:18:11

[Global Interest Rate Repricing, AI Industry Risk Discussions, and Long-Term Test for Crude Oil] ⑴ Several central banks worldwide shifted towards tightening this week. The Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points for the first time in three years, increasing the policy range to 3.75%-4.00%, releasing a hawkish signal; the Bank of England kept interest rates unchanged but made a hawkish statement, with the market betting on a possible rate hike in November; the Bank of Japan raised interest rates by 25 basis points as expected, but due to two members voting against it, the market questioned the strength of its tightening, and the yen subsequently fell to a two-week low. ⑵ Executives of leading AI companies called for a slowdown in technology research and development, triggering short-term market concerns. If investment in computing power infrastructure contracts, it will impact the chip and data center related industrial chains. However, given the geopolitical competition, the probability of a significant slowdown in the industry is not high; AI-related indices have significantly outperformed the global market since 2022. ⑶ Continued geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East are disrupting crude oil supply. Shipping risks in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait have increased, Saudi oil pipelines have been attacked, and supply from the Strait of Hormuz is restricted. Brent crude oil remains above $99 per barrel, and the short-term supply shock has evolved into a long-term test. (4) The yield on the 10-year US Treasury bond broke through a key psychological level, reaching 5.02%, a multi-year high. As a global asset pricing benchmark, the rising yield pushes up financing costs for various types of bonds, including mortgages and corporate bonds, reflecting the combined effects of the US economic resilience, inflationary pressures, and fiscal deficit. (5) The global diesel supply gap widened further, with refining margins hitting a new high in August, and the average price of diesel in the US exceeding $5.9 per gallon. Damage to refineries in the Middle East and Russia suppressed exports, the ceasefire agreement on energy facilities between Russia and Ukraine fell short of expectations, and the recovery of refining capacity will take a considerable amount of time.

19:15:30

[Gold Prices Continue to Rise Amid Fed Rate Hikes; Institutions Warn Against Blindly Chasing the Rally] ⑴ Gold prices rose for the third consecutive trading day. The rebound was supported by a decline in international crude oil prices, lower US Treasury yields, and limited gains in the US dollar index. The Indian MCX October gold contract rose another 1540 rupees per 10 grams, reaching a daily high of 153900 rupees, a cumulative increase of 3640 rupees in three days, potentially achieving two consecutive weeks of gains. ⑵ Gold's earlier decline this month has narrowed to 0.31%, recovering 4210 rupees from the month's low of 149200 rupees, showing strong upward momentum. Gold prices briefly weakened after the Fed raised interest rates by 25 basis points, but subsequently strengthened again driven by expectations of controlled inflation. ⑶ The US dollar index remains near a seven-week high, trading at 100.4 points. A stronger dollar typically suppresses gold consumption demand in non-US dollar currency regions. Currently, the US 10-year Treasury yield is approaching 4.96%, and Brent crude oil remains above $99 per barrel; these indicators could reverse the gold price trend at any time. (4) Industry institutions remind investors that the global interest rate outlook remains uncertain, and chasing gold prices directly is not recommended. Long-term investors can adopt a phased buying approach to mitigate volatility, and leveraged traders should reduce their positions and strictly set stop-loss orders. (5) Indian gold prices will also be affected by the local currency exchange rate. Furthermore, China's increased gold reserves and reduced holdings of US Treasury bonds, Middle East geopolitical tensions, and central bank gold purchases will continue to influence the future price trends of precious metals.

19:01:11

[Next Week's Focus: Interest Rates, Middle East Tensions, and Calls for a Slowdown in AI Development] ⑴ US stock market investors will be watching interest rate trends, Middle East tensions, and renewed calls for a slowdown in artificial intelligence development next week to assess whether stock indices can reach new highs. ⑵ The market will continue to digest the Federal Reserve's decision on Wednesday to raise interest rates for the first time in three years, a move aimed at curbing inflation above target levels. Although the rate hike was widely expected, investors remain uncertain about how many times the Fed will ultimately raise rates and how this will affect already rising US Treasury yields. ⑶ In recent weeks, stock market movements have been influenced by rising US Treasury yields and soaring oil prices as the Middle East conflict escalates. ⑷ A chief market strategist stated that a 5% yield on the benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond and oil prices reaching $100 per barrel constitute a psychological watershed. ⑸ The strategist said that below these levels, market participants can breathe a sigh of relief and become more actively involved, while above these levels, as has happened in the past four or five weeks, the market finds these headwinds difficult to overcome. (6) On Thursday, as oil prices and yields fell and stocks rose, U.S. crude oil prices fell to about $101 a barrel and the 10-year Treasury yield fell to about 4.93% at the end of the day.

18:52:03

[US Treasuries Reverse and Weaken in European Sessions, Yen Under Significant Pressure] ⑴ Bonds rebounded during the Asian session due to lower oil prices, but buying interest seemed to evaporate during the European session, with German bonds turning downwards. ⑵ Traders said that overseas accounts had good buying interest in medium-term bonds during the market rebound, but German bonds only recovered slightly from their lows. Strong German producer prices and UK retail sales, coupled with market speculation that Italy will conduct its next syndicated loan issuance next week, put some pressure on German bonds. ⑶ Trading volume was good. As of 6:15 a.m. ET, approximately 393,000 contracts were traded in the 10-year contract. The December contract traded between 106-02 and 106-11.5, last quoted at 106-02.5. ⑷ German bonds fell about 0.25 points from the settlement price, 10-year Italian government bond futures fell about 0.33 points, and 10-year French government bond futures fell nearly 0.5 points. Italy initially performed slightly worse but was subsequently overtaken by France. (5) 10-year yields showed Italian bonds were more than 4 basis points higher than the benchmark, French bonds were about 5 basis points higher, and German bonds were about 2.5 basis points higher. The spread between 10-year and German bond yields narrowed by nearly 1.5 basis points from the European close. (6) West Texas Intermediate crude oil fell more than $1 to about $100.77, but recovered from the earlier low of about $99.39 and did not test Thursday's low of about $99.10. (7) The S&P 500 rose slightly by more than 10 points, about 0.2%, Nasdaq futures rose by about 0.5%, the Euro Stoxx 50 fell by about 0.4%, after the Nikkei rose by about 1.4% and the CSI 300 rebounded by about 1.0%. (8) The US dollar rebounded again, with the dollar index rising to about 100.43, testing the high of about 100.46 on July 31. The yen was sold off heavily, with the dollar rising to about 157.94 against the yen. The market seemed disappointed that the Bank of Japan's 25 basis point rate hike was not hawkish enough. The euro and the pound were basically flat.
