Western Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil price retraces the recent gains, trading around $87.70 per barrel during the European trading session on Wednesday.

The prices of Crude oil are under downward pressure as Saudi Arabia announced to maintain its existing output cuts through the end of the year 2023. This is attributed to the concerns over the fears that elevated interest rates could lead to a reduction in fuel demand.

As per a Reuters survey, Saudi Arabia is expected to increase its November official selling price of Arab Light crude to Asia for the fifth consecutive month.

Simultaneously, discussions regarding the resumption of Iraqi oil exports through a pipeline in Turkey are still ongoing, as reported by an Iraqi oil official. This comes after Turkey's announcement of resuming operations this week, ending a nearly six-month hiatus.

According to reports from the Russian newspaper Kommersant, the Russian government is considering a partial lift of its ban on diesel exports in the coming days. This development adds to the evolving dynamics in the energy market.

The cautious sentiment due to the US Federal Reserve’s (Fed) interest rates trajectory is reinforcing the Greenback. The strengthening dollar tends to put downward pressure on WTI prices, as it makes oil more expensive for buyers using other currencies.

The US Dollar Index (DXY) retreats from the 11-month high marked on Tuesday. The spot price beats lower around 106.90 by the press time. However, the US Dollar (USD) strengthened on robust US employment data and higher US Treasury yields.

The 10-year US Bond yield reached its highest level since 2007, hitting 4.85% on Wednesday.

US JOLTS Job Openings exceeded expectations, contributing to an increase in US Treasury yields. The report revealed that job openings improved to 9.61 million in August from the previous reading of 8.92 million, surpassing market expectations.

Market participants are eagerly awaiting the US employment data, with the release of the ADP report on Wednesday and the Nonfarm Payrolls on Friday.

GBP/USD: Daily gains remain capped by 1.3650

EUR/USD struggles to regain pace; gyrates around 1.1670

EUR/USD clinches humble gains around 1.1670 following Tuesday’s close on Wall Street. Indeed, marginal losses in the US Dollar encourages spot to set aside two dauly pullbacks in a row and maintain the 1.1700 barrier on the cross-hairs for now. Moving forward, US inflation tracked by the PCE and another revision of Q2 GDP data should keep investors entertained on Wednesday.

Gold steadies near $4,650, eyes multi-month high ahead of US PCE

Gold stabilizes around $4,650 after the previous day's two-way swings as traders await the US PCE data, due later this Wednesday, for cues about the Fed's policy path. The outlook will drive the US Dollar and the non-yielding bullion. Meanwhile, renewed hopes for a US-Iran peace deal, weak oil prices, sliding US bond yields and diminishing odds of an immediate tightening by the Fed undermine the USD. This keeps the precious metal close to its highest level since May 14, set on Tuesday.

Canada hits US goods with tariffs; The rate market sees a problem

On September 8, Canada begins charging its own importers 15%, 25% and 50% on roughly 700 lines of American goods. The measure is billed as dollar for dollar, and on the arithmetic of covered trade it is. What it is not is a tax on the United States.
