Oil Dips as Trump's Bid to End Ukraine War Eases Supply Concerns
(Bloomberg) -- Oil edged lower, extending its biggest weekly drop since end-June, as US President Donald Trump's push to end the war in Ukraine eases concerns about supplies from top producer Russia. Sunseeking Germans Face Swiss Backlash Over Alpine Holiday Congestion New York Warns of $34 Billion Budget Hole, Biggest Since 2009 Crisis Three Deaths Reported as NYC Legionnaires' Outbreak Spreads A New Stage for the Theater That Gave America Shakespeare in the Park Chicago Schools' Bond Penalty Widens as $734 Million Gap Looms Brent traded near $66 a barrel, after sliding 4.4% last week. On Friday, Trump didn't reveal additional measures against Moscow or buyers of its crude as he announced a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. He had earlier declared an Aug. 8 deadline for the Kremlin to reach a ceasefire. US and Russian officials are working toward an agreement that would lock in Moscow's occupation of territory seized during its military invasion, according to people familiar with the matter. The US is working to get buy-in from Ukraine and its European allies on the deal, which is far from certain, they said. Oil has lost more than 10% this year as OPEC+ brings back production faster than initially planned, ending curbs made in 2023, even as slowing economic growth threatens to cut consumption. A peace deal with Ukraine could see an end to sanctions on supply from Russia, removing the risk of disruption to Moscow's flows after Trump's comments in recent weeks that he would put measures in place against its biggest buyers. 'This is not a deal which will be closed on Friday, but rather the start of a process,' said Bjarne Schieldrop, chief commodities analyst at SEB AB. 'Trump is very, very unlikely to slap sanctions on Russian oil while this process is ongoing, i.e. no disruption of Russian oil in sight.' Investors may get further insight into the supply-demand balance later this week, with the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries set to release its monthly market analysis and the US Energy Information Administration its Short-Term Energy Outlook on Tuesday. The International Energy Agency is due to publish its monthly report on Wednesday. --With assistance from Charlie Zhu and Sarah Chen. The Game Starts at 8.

Treasury Yields Slide Before CPI as Fed Cut Speculation Grows
(Bloomberg) -- Treasury yields slipped as investors brace for a key reading of US inflation that may bolster the case for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates next month. Sunseeking Germans Face Swiss Backlash Over Alpine Holiday Congestion New York Warns of $34 Billion Budget Hole, Biggest Since 2009 Crisis Three Deaths Reported as NYC Legionnaires' Outbreak Spreads A New Stage for the Theater That Gave America Shakespeare in the Park Chicago Schools' Bond Penalty Widens as $734 Million Gap Looms The 10-year yield slipped 3 basis points to 4.26%, edging toward a three-month low of 4.18% touched last week. US CPI figures due on Tuesday will help determine whether the Fed is likely to cut rates at its next meeting in September, after weak jobs data raised concerns that the economy is slowing. 'Tomorrow's US inflation report will garner the most macro attention and should help to pave the way for a Fed rate cut in September,' Commerzbank strategists wrote in a note, adding that US tariffs were having a limited impact on prices so far. Their view chimes with comments from Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman, who said she favors three rate cuts this year and urged fellow policymakers to reduce borrowing costs. Still, economists see inflation remaining sticky, with a Bloomberg poll showing that they expect CPI excluding volatile food and energy rose 0.3% in July, quickening from a 0.2% increase the prior month. Treasury yields have been whipsawed since the start of the month, rising last week as the Fed came under continued pressure from President Donald Trump to cut rates, while sluggish bond auctions raised concerns about demand. At the same time, the weak payrolls reading has reignited speculation that the economy will require policy easing soon. Traders are betting on a 82% possibility that the Fed will deliver a 25 basis point cut next month, with another easing fully discounted by the end of the year. Investors will also look to data on US PPI, retail sales and international trade this week to gauge the need for more policy loosening. Ahead of planned talks between Washington and Moscow on the Russia-Ukraine war, moves in global oil prices are expected to dictate demand for haven assets. Given the hefty roster of US economic data, investors are likely to remain focused on Fed policy. Questions over the institution's independence have been swirling after Trump last week picked Stephen Miran, an ally and chair of the Council of Economic Adviser, to be a Fed governor.
