Dollar Undercut by Decline in US Consumer Sentiment
The dollar index (DXY00) today is down -0.53%, undercut by today's weaker-than-expected US consumer sentiment report and today's -0.7 bp decline in the 2-year T-note yield. The dollar is also suffering from underlying foreign investor concern about the possibility of a politically-driven US monetary policy after US Treasury Secretary Bessent on Wednesday appeared to give the Fed marching orders on how much to cut interest rates. The markets are awaiting the outcome of this afternoon's Trump-Putin summit, which will begin at "around 3 pm ET" (11 AM Anchorage time), followed by a joint press conference, according to Reuters' description of the White House schedule. The outcome could have macroeconomic implications regarding tariffs and oil prices, and will, of course, have major implications for European security. More News from Barchart Dollar Sees Support from Strong US PPI Report Dollar Sees Support from Strong US PPI Report Our exclusive Barchart Brief newsletter is your FREE midday guide to what's moving stocks, sectors, and investor sentiment - delivered right when you need the info most. Subscribe today! Today's headline US retail sales report was slightly weaker than market expectations, but there was an upward revision for June, leaving the report roughly neutral for the markets. The markets welcomed the report amidst worries about how US retail spending will hold up with a weaker labor market and consumer uncertainty about inflation and the economic outlook. July US retail sales rose +0.5% m/m, slightly weaker than market expectations of +0.6%, although June was revised higher to +0.9% from +0.6%. July retail sales ex-autos rose +0.3% m/m, in line with market expectations and down from June's revised +0.8% (preliminary +0.5%). The University of Michigan's preliminary-Aug US consumer sentiment index fell by -3.1 points to 58.6, which was weaker than expectations for a slight +0.3 point increase to 62.0. The survey showed that US consumer expectations for inflation rose to +4.9% over the next year and to an annual +3.9% for the next 5-10 years. The survey also found that 58% of consumers plan to cut spending due to inflation. July US import prices rose +0.4% m/m, which was stronger than expectations of +0.1%. On a year-on-year basis, July US import prices strengthened to -0.2% from a revised -0.5% y/y in June. July US import prices ex-petroleum rose +0.3% m/m versus June's revised -0.2% (preliminary unchanged). Today's July US industrial production report of -0.1% m/m was slightly weaker than expectations of unchanged, although June was revised upward to +0.4% m/m from +0.3%. July manufacturing production was unchanged m/m, matching market expectations, while July was revised higher to +0.3% from +0.1%. Today's Aug Empire manufacturing index of 11.9 was substantially stronger than market expectations of zero and was up from July's 5.5. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee delivered mildly hawkish remarks today, stating that he would like to see at least one more inflation report to ensure that persistent inflation pressures aren't emerging. He expressed concern about the high service inflation data in the July CPI report, but noted the importance of not placing too much weight on a single month's data. The markets today will continue to adjust to the inflation outlook following Thursday's hawkish PPI report. The July final-demand PPI surged to +3.3% y/y (nominal) and +3.7% y/y (core). The PPI report suggested that the markets were overly optimistic about Tuesday's CPI report and that companies are passing through tariffs at the wholesale level at a higher pace than earlier thought. Following the report, the markets erased any hopes of a -50 bp rate cut at the Fed's September meeting and pulled back expectations for a -25 bp rate cut to 93% from 100% before the report. Weak Chinese economic reports overnight were negative for the global economic growth outlook. China's economy is weakening due to US tariffs and the Chinese government's attempt to crack down on excessive competition that has driven prices to loss-making levels in some industries. China's July retail sales report of +3.7% y/y was weaker than expectations of +4.6% and down from June's +4.8%. China's July industrial production report of +5.7% y/y was weaker than expectations of +6.0% and was down from June's +6.8%. China's July jobless rate rose to 5.2% from June's +5.0% and was higher than expectations. China's July property investment fell -12.0% ytd y/y from -11.2% in June and was weaker than expectations of -11.4%. In recent tariff news, President Trump early Tuesday extended the tariff truce with China for another 90 days until November. Last Wednesday, Mr. Trump announced that he will impose a 100% tariff on semiconductor imports. Still, companies would be eligible for exemptions if they demonstrate a commitment to building their products in the US. However, the US will levy a separate tax on imports of electronic products that employ semiconductors. Also, Mr. Trump announced last Wednesday that he will double tariffs on US imports from India to 50% from the current 25% tariff, due to India's purchases of Russian oil. Last Tuesday, Mr. Trump said that US tariffs on pharmaceutical imports would be announced "within the next week or so." According to Bloomberg Economics, the average US tariff will rise to 15.2% if rates are implemented as announced, up from 13.3% earlier, and significantly higher than the 2.3% in 2024 before the tariffs were announced. Federal funds futures prices are discounting the chances for a -25 bp rate cut at 93% at the September 16-17 FOMC meeting and at 53% for a second -25 bp rate cut at the following meeting on October 28-29. EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is up +0.58% on dollar weakness. The euro has some underlying support from hopes of some progress on ending the Russia-Ukraine war at today's Trump-Putin summit. Swaps are pricing in a 5% chance of a -25 bp rate cut by the ECB at the September 11 policy meeting. USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is down -0.63% due to weakness in the dollar. The yen saw some underlying support after US Treasury Secretary Bessent earlier this week said the Bank of Japan is falling behind the curve in addressing inflation and that he expects a rate hike. However, the yen continues to be undercut by concern that US tariff policies will harm the Japanese economy. December gold (GCZ25) is up +5.7 (+0.17%), and September silver (SIU25) is down -0.124 (-0.33%). Gold is seeing support today from the weaker dollar. Silver is seeing weakness on concern about industrial metals demand after today's weaker-than-expected US consumer sentiment index and Chinese economic data. Gold continues to have safe-haven support related to US tariffs and geopolitical risks, including the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. Fund buying of precious metals continues to support prices after gold holdings in ETFs rose to a 2-year high on Tuesday, and silver holdings in ETFs reached a 3-year high last Friday.

León Y Sol eyes global push following Nigeria entry
US Tequila maker León Y Sol is looking to kickstart its international expansion with entry into Nigeria early next year, followed by Europe at a later stage. The country will be the group's first overseas market. Speaking to Just Drinks, CEO and majority shareholder of the business, Bobby Marhamat, said Nigeria was appealing given the group's partnership with the global record label Empire, which has a presence there. "They've been pulling our product into that market just kind of naturally," he said. While its Tequilas have been used in product placements in some of the record label's music videos and events, January will mark the first time León Y Sol's Tequilas have been sold in on- and off-premise in Nigeria, Marhamat said. Set up two years ago, the California-headquartered business sells Tequila Blanco and Reposado and has recently launched a non-alcoholic agave-based spirit called NeQuila. The business will begin its launch in Nigeria with its alcohol Tequilas. The group's brand messaging also has a strong focus on being additive-free, a factor that has helped it gain interest in Nigeria specifically, according to Marhamat, especially amid the ongoing allegations Diageo has been facing around its Tequila purity claims. "In that market, you've probably heard a lot of controversy now with Casamigos and Don Julio around their authenticity. [Those were] the main products that were in Nigeria. And given that we were there, there's a natural pull into, 'hey, we want actually authentic products.'" According to a statement on the product launch last week, NeQuila is "the first-ever Tequila that starts with real tequila and is then artfully stripped of its alcohol". Leon Y Sol is also in talks to distribute in Europe, with Amsterdam in the Netherlands a target, Marhamat said. Explaining how NeQuila is made, the CEO told Just Drinks the company had been working on the product for almost a year, and wanted to put something on the market that stood out from other non-alcoholic spirits by being free from additives. "What we wanted to put in the market is not necessarily what you see with other non-alcoholic products. "There's nothing bad, right? do use some colouring, they do some flavoring. We wanted to actually have a full-on Tequila product that has the alcohol extracted out, so you feel getting a full-on agave product." Aside from international expansion, the group also looks to focus on its main market, the US. It will focus on New York, Louisiana and Vegas, where it has recently launched, and also looks to launch into six other states by the end of the year in the central part of the country, Marhamat added. León Y Sol's Tequila Blanco and Reposado are priced at $69 and $89, respectively, while its NeQuila costs $49. The group also plans to launch a Cristalino Tequila in the fourth quarter of this year priced at $129. While the group's non-alc NeQuila launched for pre-order at the start of August, the product will officially head to retailers and restaurants in the US in "early Q4", said Marhamat. All of the group's products are distilled by third-party distillers in Jalisco. The business also owns an agave farm in the region.

Empire Petroleum Secures Unanimous Victory to Advance CO₂
TULSA, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Empire Petroleum (NYSE American: EP) ('Empire' or the 'Company'), an oil and gas company with producing assets in New Mexico, North Dakota, Montana, Texas, and Louisiana, announced the New Mexico Oil Conservation Commission ('NMOCD' or the 'Commission') has issued a unanimous and favorable ruling regarding the Company's rights to the Residual Oil Zone ('ROZ') in the Eunice Monument South Unit ('EMSU') Unitized Interval in Lea County, New Mexico. After four years of expenditures, Empire received the Commission's unanimous decision at a public hearing on August 14, 2025, affirming the existence of a ROZ in the Grayburg and San Andres formations within the EMSU and confirming Empire's exclusive rights to produce the ROZ under the 1984 Commission Order. The Commission is allowing Empire the opportunity to implement a CO₂ enhanced oil recovery ('EOR') pilot project over the next three years. In addition to the findings noted above, the Commission unanimously ordered the following actions: Deny five new injection well applications from Goodnight Midstream Permian, LLC ('Goodnight'); Deny application for increased injection from Goodnight; Suspend injection operations on four existing Goodnight injection wells; and Deny all pending motions attached to these cases. The Commission further found that, while Empire did not prove immediate correlative rights impairment in the Grayburg from neighboring operators' injection activities, the Company presented compelling evidence of possible future impairment or waste. Following this outcome, Empire intends to proceed with Motions to Revoke existing permits granted to the remaining third-party saltwater disposal operators disposing wastewater into the EMSU and Unitized Interval of the Arrowhead Grayburg Unit, while concurrently advancing litigation for trespass and damages. 'We are extremely pleased with this unanimous decision, which marks a significant regulatory win for Empire and reinforces our position in New Mexico,' said Phil Mulacek, Chairman of the Board. 'It paves the way for us to move forward with CO₂ development to unlock the capacity for sustained production in the ROZ and upper zones, while also safeguarding our assets from activities that threaten their value.' Mike Morrisett, President and CEO, added, 'This outcome reflects years of dedicated work by our employees, legal team, and consultants, and I want to thank them for their tireless efforts in protecting and advancing our New Mexico position. We also want to thank the NMOCD for its thorough review of the facts and its unanimous decision. We take seriously our fiduciary responsibility to our shareholders and remain committed to realizing the long-term value we see in the EMSU assets. This decision gives us a clear path forward to responsibly develop these resources and position Empire for sustained growth and returns.' The full text of the Commission's decision will be available on the NMOCD website in the coming days.
