1. The U.S. government is chasing oil prices at a high level! Strategic oil reserves will be replenished at no more than $79
The U.S. seeks to purchase 6 million barrels of crude oil by January 2024 to backfill the SPR, with the price of the purchased crude oil capped at $79/bbl. The United States will continue to backfill the SPR until at least May 2024. The U.S. Department of Energy said on Thursday local time that the Biden administration wants to buy 6 million barrels of crude oil for delivery in December this year and January next year to replenish the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The latest plan caps the price of crude oil at $79 per barrel, which is a significant increase from the $70 target earlier this year, but significantly lower than the current crude futures price that around $90.
2. Powell: U.S. inflation is still too high, and additional evidence of a strong economy may support interest rate hikes, but caution should be exercised
Powell stated that the U.S. inflation has cooled down this summer, "which is a very favorable development", and the nominal PCE (personal consumption expenditures price index)was expected to increase by 3.5% year-on-year in September, which was unchanged from the previous value and halved from the peak of 7.1% in June 2022; Core PCE was expected to rise 3.7% year-on-year in September, down from 3.9% in August and lower than the peak of 5.6% in February last year. The relevant data will be released next week. He believed that the progress in inflation was related to both the easing of supply disruptions in the post-pandemic era and the cooling of strong demand from the 18-month aggressive interest rate hike cycle that began in March last year. But he warned that inflation could continue its downward trend in September, "though not very encouraging". Speaking about monetary policy, Powell reiterated that the Fed was "committed to a policy stance that is sufficiently restrictive to fully economic growth" and to keeping policy restrictive until it was confident that inflation is sustainably coming down to 2% target. But at the same time, he maintained a seemingly neutral position, but in fact somewhat ambiguous attitude.

4. Goldman Sachs: It is expected that the sell-off in U.S. Treasury bonds will end in the fourth quarter as oil prices rise
Goldman Sachs strategists reported that higher oil prices and the resumption of student loan repayments will lead to a slowdown in the U.S. economy for the rest time of the year, which could push the yield of the benchmark 10-year Treasury lower. Goldman Sachs noted that the yield on the 10-year Treasury was close to 5%, well above the fair value of 4.2% to 4.3%. The agency also said Treasury prices are likely to rebound as the economy hits a "pothole" in the fourth quarter.
