<p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>If they can’t bring it to the rest of the world, there’s always China. Especially now as Xi has relented on the zero-Covid policy, re-opening demand is something to watch out for and that is going to be a welcome development for Russia and Putin.</p>

<p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>All eyes are on the central bank bonanza next week and with the Fed in focus, the US consumer price inflation report on Tuesday is going to be a massive one before the FOMC meeting on Wednesday. At the stage we are at, inflation data is essentially the new non-farm payrolls.</p><p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>But before we get to that, we’ll get a teaser of sorts tomorrow via the November producer prices report. You would think that PPI tends not to be a market mover but in a time when inflation numbers mean everything, the data tomorrow will be a big one – as it was last month <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/news/us-october-ppi-80-vs-83-expected-20221115/“ target=“_blank“ rel=“follow“>here</a>.</p><p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>So, while broader markets are quiet today with very little to work with, don’t expect that to last when we get to US trading tomorrow.</p>

The onshore yuan has seen a significant weakening against the dollar from 6.40 to 7.30 before sticking closer to 7.00 in the past week after another sharp drop as China puts an end to its zero-Covid policy.</p>

<p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>The dollar is a touch higher but ranges are relatively narrow, so there isn’t much to really comment on.

<p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>European stocks are holding lower, with S&P 500 futures also seen down 6 points, or 0.15%, so far on the day. Meanwhile, 10-year Treasury yields are little changed and keeping close to 3.53% so that is not offering traders a whole lot to work with in the major currencies space.</p><p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>The dollar is sitting more mixed with USD/JPY up 0.3% to 137.40 but off earlier highs of 137.85, though buyers are still in near-term control as outlined earlier <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/news/dollar-holds-steady-to-start-the-session-20221207/“ target=“_blank“ rel=“follow“>here</a>.

<p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>If something can’t go up on good news, well..</p><p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>That is very much the case for oil as even the recent news of the re-opening in China isn’t enough to lift it from the doldrums after the retreat since June this year. The double-top pattern from the October and November highs was the final straw before we see price tumble further this week, after OPEC+ decided to keep production quotas unchanged over the weekend <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/news/opec-holds-production-unchanged-as-expected-20221204/“ target=“_blank“ rel=“follow“>here</a>.</p><p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>The story about a Russian oil price floor yesterday <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/news/russia-mulls-oil-price-floor-in-response-to-g7-oil-price-cap-report-20221206/“ target=“_blank“ rel=“follow“>here</a> didn’t really provide much lasting relief for oil prices and that is arguably a big tell on how market sentiment is faring at the moment.</p><p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>It’s a tough one to square up as the technical picture is outweighing the fundamental landscape in the oil market. You would think China re-opening, which is perhaps the biggest boost for oil demand, would be enough of a boon to lift the mood for buyers.</p><p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>But looking at the chart above, the $70 mark is the likely technical destination for oil now before potentially revisiting the late 2021 lows around $62.50 to $64.50.</p><p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>I reckon it will have come down to OPEC+ really signaling something significant to really change up the landscape in the oil market moving forward. There is also the case that the US needs to replenish its SPR and at these prices, they are seemingly attractive enough surely. That might play into additional demand but we’ll see if there is any appetite to get that done in the weeks/months ahead.</p><p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>For now, it looks like sellers are in control and are still flushing out long positions that have been caught hoping for a tighter market amid the shelving of Russian oil – which doesn’t seem to have materialised.</p>
