Due to the shutdown of Saudi Arabia's east-west oil pipeline, European refiners have been forced to compete for alternative sources, while soaring fuel prices have further driven up crude procurement costs. After the attack on its pipeline to the Red Sea, Saudi Aramco is seeking to increase crude shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. This week, Asian buyers purchased tens of millions of barrels of Saudi crude from near the strait. However, this adjustment also means these cargoes are farther away from European refiners desperate for supply. On Friday, North Sea crude spot premiums surged to record levels. Previously, Saudi Aramco had informed European customers that it would be unable to supply crude to them under long-term agreements next month. Traders involved in market transactions said that Norway's Johan Sverdrup crude, which is relatively close in quality to Saudi crude, was quoted at up to $35 per barrel above the Brent spot benchmark. Less than two weeks earlier, the premium for the same grade was only 60 cents per barrel. The surge in spot crude prices indicates that European refineries are sparing no expense to secure crude supply in order to maintain sufficiently high refinery utilization rates and thereby ease the tight fuel supply situation. Diesel prices in the region have now risen above $200 per barrel.

The dollar is on track for its best weekly performance in three months after the Federal Reserve signaled further interest rate hikes. Driven by solid U.S. economic growth and the Fed's anti-inflation stance following its rate increase, the dollar index DXY rose about 1.1% this week. After the Fed's first rate hike in more than three years, JPMorgan, Standard Chartered and Brown Brothers Harriman all said the decision removed the biggest obstacle to a stronger dollar. On Wednesday and Thursday, the dollar index consolidated near its 200-day moving average, and on Friday it edged slightly above that key level. Historical data shows that when the dollar index closes above its 200-day moving average, the dollar tends to rise further. Previously, in March and June, the index strengthened further after breaking above its 200-day moving average. As the yen narrowed its losses following reports that the Bank of Japan conducted a "rate check," the dollar index gave back some of its weekly gains. It had previously been on course for its biggest weekly gain since the outbreak of the Iran war in March. A BOJ rate check is usually seen as a precursor to official intervention.

Kansas City Fed President Jeff Schmid said the U.S. economy remains strong and continues to grow. Schmid said he agrees with Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh's explanation for the rise in U.S. Treasury yields, namely that the recent increase in yields has been driven mainly by capital demand stemming from artificial intelligence investment and geopolitical challenges, rather than solely by monetary policy factors. Schmid also believes that the U.S. Treasury Department's implementation of a Treasury buyback program will not make it more difficult for the Fed to conduct monetary policy.
