[Crude Oil Market More Optimistic About US-Iran Deal] Crude oil futures fell to their lowest level in a month as the market hoped the current US-Iran talks would lead to an agreement to end the conflict. "This is the strongest or most sustained price reaction to a potential agreement we've seen since the ceasefire," said Ajay Parmar, an analyst at energy intelligence firm ICIS. "I think it's because we've heard positive messages from both sides for the first time." In his view, several forces are pushing both sides toward an agreement. Parmar said the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is negatively impacting Iran, preventing its crude oil from being shipped out, while rising US Treasury yields are "really bad for the US economy," meaning President Trump "can't cut rates the way he wants." West Texas Intermediate crude fell 3.86% to $90.03 a barrel; Brent crude fell 6.34% to $93.39 a barrel.

Morgan Stanley says a popular US Treasury trading strategy favored by hedge funds is shrinking, reflecting a scarcity of profit opportunities. An analysis by Morgan Stanley shows that a popular US Treasury trading strategy that hedge funds have faced regulatory scrutiny is contracting. Strategists led by Eli P. Carter estimate that the size of US Treasury basis trading has fallen from a record high of $1.5 trillion earlier this year to $1.35 trillion. This type of trading aims to profit from small price discrepancies between US Treasuries and their corresponding futures contracts. The decline reflects a scarcity of price dislocations in the US Treasury market that create profit opportunities, thus suppressing relative value strategies. While these trades help provide liquidity to the market, they could threaten financial stability if hedge funds need to quickly liquidate positions during periods of market stress.

[Food Insecurity Exacerbates K-Shaped Economic Divergence in the US, Dragging Down Consumer Confidence in Low-Income Families] A new research report released by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York reveals that food insecurity in the United States is rapidly escalating, which is one of the core reasons why, despite the overall stable US economy, consumer confidence remains low. The bank's survey data shows that from October 2025 to February 2026, many groups across the US will face situations such as using savings to make ends meet, food shortages, forced dieting, and reliance on social food assistance, with a significant increase in the proportion of such households. This problem affects all age groups and ethnicities, with low-income, low-education, non-white, and families with young children being the most severely impacted. These families generally experience pessimism, and their employment expectations have also declined sharply. The report further confirms the K-shaped economic divergence pattern in the US: the wealthy enjoy economic benefits through stock market appreciation, stable employment, and low-cost mortgages; while a large number of low- and middle-income groups are mired in financial difficulties, suppressed by high inflation, high interest rates, and high living costs, with persistently high default rates on credit cards, car loans, and student loans. Industry analysts say that rising economic pessimism among the American public stems from two main factors: firstly, the government's increase in import tariffs and energy volatility caused by the Middle East conflict, leading to a rebound in inflationary pressures; and secondly, a cooling domestic job market, with the hiring boom of the pandemic phase over and a more conservative approach to job creation, further exacerbating the survival pressure on low-income families and highlighting the widening gap between the rich and poor.

Ukraine rejects German compromise on EU accession. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected a proposal for Ukraine to gain "partial membership" in the European Union, stating that given the Ukrainian army's role in defending the entire EU against Russian attacks, the country deserves full membership. In a letter to senior EU officials, Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine's goal of becoming a full EU member remains unchanged and warned against so-called "half-hearted measures." "We have never viewed membership as joining some kind of 'semi-union'," Zelenskyy said. This statement appears to be Kyiv's clearest response to German Chancellor Merz's proposal to date. Last month, Merz proposed allowing Ukraine partial integration into EU institutions without granting it full voting rights; this move aimed to balance the EU's ambitions for expansion and its commitment to Ukraine with concerns from some member states about the accession process being pushed too quickly.

[West African Cocoa Sees Brief Dry Window, Mid-Term Rain Risk Returns, Weather in Growing Regions Becomes Key Variable] ⑴ According to agency meteorological reports, the cocoa-producing regions of Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana in West Africa recorded heavy rainfall over the past week, with cumulative rainfall over 7 days 25 to 100 mm above normal. Flooding occurred in western Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. In the next 15 days, rainfall in Ethiopian coffee-producing regions is expected to be 15 to 35 mm above normal, as the rain shifts eastward after initially flooding West Africa. ⑵ The weather in West Africa is expected to become drier over the next 5 days. Flood-affected cocoa regions should be able to achieve dry conditions by early June, which is a positive sign for damaged producing areas. However, wet weather may return to West Africa in mid-June, and this risk needs close monitoring as it could damage cocoa pods. ⑶ Weather model analysis shows that the Madden-Julian Oscillation is expected to enter its 7th phase in mid-June, which may support cool and wet weather in West Africa, while South Africa will experience cool and dry conditions. In the short term, the South African maize harvest is expected to proceed smoothly outside of the cool and wet conditions in the eastern Cape.

[The closure of the Strait of Hormuz triggers inflation in India, with crude oil and metal prices soaring, and the 8.3% WPI sounding the alarm] ⑴ Indian rating agency Crisil warned that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has led to rising prices for crude oil, natural gas, and metals, which will exacerbate inflationary pressures in India. Rising manufacturing costs are gradually being passed on to consumers, especially with core CPI inflation facing upside risks. ⑵ Data shows that India's overall wholesale price index inflation rate surged from 3.9% in March to 8.3% in April, while the non-food WPI jumped from 4.7% to 10.9%. Among key commodities, copper prices rose 17.3%, aluminum rose 20.6%, crude oil-related products surged 49.3%, and natural gas-related products rose 19.1%. ⑶ Crisil pointed out that after 44 consecutive months below 1.0, the input-output ratio of enterprises broke through this key level in April. Input prices rose 6.2% that month, while output prices rose only 0.7%, putting severe cost pressures on industries such as steel, chemicals, fertilizers, plastics, and non-ferrous metals. (4) Despite stable domestic demand, companies still have room to raise prices without significantly impacting sales. Even if the Strait of Hormuz reopens, input costs are expected to remain high this year. The conflict in West Asia is considered one of the most severe oil shocks in recent years, and its impact has extended beyond the energy sector, affecting various industrial raw materials.

[Israeli Media: US Military Aircraft to Withdraw from Ben Gurion Airport After US-Iran Agreement Signed] Israel's Channel 12 television reported on the 27th that the United States has informed Israel that if an agreement is reached with Iran, the US will "immediately" withdraw its military aircraft deployed at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv. The report stated that once the agreement is signed, all US military aircraft deployed at Ben Gurion Airport will withdraw to European bases within 72 hours. However, these aircraft will "remain on standby" and will "return to" Ben Gurion Airport "at any time" should a military conflict with Iran break out again. (Xinhua)

[Germany's Economic Forecast Downgraded Again; Middle East Conflict and Tariff Risks Combined, 0.5% Growth Become the New Normal] ⑴ The German Council of Economic Experts on Wednesday lowered its growth forecast for Europe's largest economy, mainly due to the Middle East conflict, rising energy prices, and US trade policies. In its spring report, the council predicted that Germany's economy would grow by 0.5% in 2026, down from 0.9% in November, and by 0.8% in 2027. ⑵ The German Ministry of Economic Affairs lowered its economic growth forecasts for 2026 and 2027 in April, while raising its inflation forecast. The official forecast is now 0.5% for 2026, a significant reduction from the previous 1.0%, and the 2027 forecast has been lowered from 1.3% to 0.9%. ⑶ These two consecutive downward revisions reflect the escalating external pressures facing the German economy. The Middle East situation is pushing up energy costs, and Trump's tariff rhetoric is exacerbating trade uncertainty, putting export-oriented manufacturing under double pressure. Future attention will be focused on the further impact of energy price trends and changes in global trade policies on German industrial orders.

[Guyana Launches Overseas Remittance Bonds Within a Week, Infrastructure Investment Triggers a Wave of Return Flows] ⑴ Guyanese President Irrfan Ali announced on Tuesday that the government will officially issue overseas remittance bonds within a week, aiming to raise funds from overseas Guyanese for public infrastructure projects and accelerate the country's transformation agenda. ⑵ Although details such as the bond size, expected yield, and specific projects have not yet been disclosed, the country is currently vigorously promoting multi-billion dollar investment plans in transportation, healthcare, housing, energy, and digital infrastructure. ⑶ Ali revealed that during previous communications with the overseas Guyanese community in Canada, the government received nearly 600 emails, of which 420 expressed encouragement and support, and 159 focused on six specific concerns: business investment, finance, and economic development accounted for 20%, and housing, land, and real estate accounted for 16.4%. ⑷ Security, which was the most pressing concern for overseas Guyans in the past few decades, has now fallen to the bottom, indicating that overseas Guyanese are shifting from worry to actively seeking ways to invest, own property, and participate in national development. (5) Alibaba gave a special recommendation to the Silica City project under construction, calling it a sustainable future city 50 years ahead of its time. The first batch of 200 housing units is nearing completion, and subsequent funding has been secured, signaling the long-term benefits of linking local infrastructure with remittances from overseas Chinese.

[US Treasuries Reverse Supply Pressure, Iranian Draft Memorandum Triggers Safe-Haven Demand Reversal, 60-Day Countdown to Straits Reopening Agreement] US Treasuries retreated from overnight highs on Wednesday, giving back most of their intraday gains during London and New York trading sessions, primarily driven by traders preparing for today's $70 billion 5-year Treasury auction. However, yields reversed course and fell after Iranian state television reported a preliminary informal framework draft of a memorandum of understanding with the US. The draft includes the withdrawal of US troops from the region and the lifting of the naval blockade, Iran's commitment to restore commercial traffic in the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels within a month, and the joint management of traffic in the strait by Iran and Oman. A final agreement, reached within 60 days, would be ratified by a binding UN Security Council resolution. Iranian state television also stated that the Islamabad memorandum framework has not yet been finalized, and Iran will not take any steps until it receives "substantiated verification."

[US Mortgage Rates to Remain Above 6% Across the Board in 2026; 30-Year Fixed Rate at 6.375%; FHA Minimum Down Payment 3.5%] ⑴ Fannie Mae, the Mortgage Bankers Association, and Wells Fargo all predict that mortgage rates will remain above 6% for the remainder of 2026. On Wednesday, the 30-year fixed rate was 6.375%, an annualized rate of 6.547%; the 15-year rate was 5.75%, an annualized rate of 6.017%; and the 10-year rate was 5.875%, an annualized rate of 6.232%. The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) 30-year mortgage rate is approximately 6.25%, an annualized rate of 7.105%, with a minimum down payment of 3.5%. ⑵ FHA loans are insured by the agency with mortgage insurance, protecting lenders from losses in the event of homeowner default. Borrowers bear the cost of mortgage insurance, and eligibility criteria are more flexible than traditional loans. Disadvantages include: a 1.75% upfront mortgage insurance premium and annual premium are required, and the insurance will not automatically cancel after reaching 20% equity; the property must meet safety standards and strict appraisal requirements; and the loan amount is limited by the local median home price. (3) Situations that may disqualify an FHA loan include: existing FHA mortgage, applying for a new loan after applying for a new one, defaulting on student loans, having a low FICO score, excessive debt burden, failing to pay court-ordered child support, and failing to pay federal debt. Most housing economists believe that interest rates are unlikely to fall to 5%, let alone drop significantly from current levels.
