Hello everyone, and welcome back to our weekly positioning watch, which due to delays in the CFTC data has been postponed to today (data was available yesterday evening).
Almost as usual, markets find themselves in an odd position, as they await the next big event to move price action after Powell’s latest shocker a couple of weeks ago coupled with a severe sell-off in bonds in recent weeks.
Today’s CPI report will likely not change a whole lot, but equity markets may continue their run upward if we are right in our prediction from yesterday (more on that here).

After moaning like it’s the beginning of the 00’s German industry has once again been lent a helping hand from the government and this could have a huge potential impact on global energy markets. So let’s see what is up and down on the surface of the proposal. First in order to help the very energy-intensive German industry the government has decided to decrease the taxes on electricity by a whopping 190% from almost 2 cents to 0.05 cents running into 2025.

Crude oil is a naturally occurring, unrefined petroleum product composed of hydrocarbon deposits and other organic materials. Crude oil can be refined to produce usable products such as gasoline, diesel and various forms of petrochemicals. It is a nonrenewable resource, also known as a fossil fuel, which means that it can't be replaced naturally at the rate we consume it and is therefore a limited resource.
