MARKET NEWS SUMMARY

Producer price index data showed a less-than-expected decrease in price inflation at factory gates, and the index fell from 6.5% to 6.0%, though it was expected to decrease to 5.4%.

On Thursday, Wall Street closed sharply lower especially after unexpectedly strong inflation data and a decline in weekly jobless claims raised fears that the US Fed will continue to raise interest rates to calm rising prices.

The dollar is heading for a weekly gain of more than 2% against the yen. It is the dollar’s best week since last October.

Data released on Thursday showed an unexpected drop in the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits last week. Meanwhile, other data showed that, in January, monthly producer prices reached their highest level in seven months.

Against a basket of currencies, the dollar index advanced 0.09% to 104.20 after reaching the highest level in more than a month at 104.24 in the previous session.

US Crude Oil (USOUSD)

US Crude oil chart for 17 Feb 2023

On Friday, February 17th, oil prices declined, heading for weekly losses as strong US economic data increased concerns about the Fed’s decision to continue its monetary tightening policy to curb inflation, which could affect fuel demand despite growing crude inventories.

The futures contracts for Brent crude fell by 49 cents, or 0.6%, to $84.65 per barrel, while futures contracts for US West Texas Intermediate crude also dropped by 46 cents, or 0.6%, to $78.03. Both types of crude oil are set to register a weekly decline of around 2%.

This week, the International Energy Agency said that China is expected to account for almost half of the world’s oil demand growth this year after easing COVID-19 restrictions. However, production constraints imposed by OPEC+ countries may result in a supply shortage in the second half of the year.
