This past week, we’ve witnessed the dollar index experiencing massive record highs in anticipation of the interest rate hikes by the Feds. Investors are eagerly waiting on more hints to reveal that the Feds are going to increase the interest rates earlier than expected. This comes as no surprise considering we are now facing a problematic inflation level which needs to be controlled as soon as possible. For the past day or so however, the dollar index has been dropping back to its original market rates before being volatile. This comes after finding out that the unemployment rate has significantly declined.

Oil on the mends despite Omicron Spread

Due to this reason, oil, among other commodities and currency pairs, has found some wiggle room to stand back up and gain some ground against the dollar. The dollar being weak has immensely supported oil to become cheaper to consumers.

Analysts are waiting for some more data which are said to give hints to the US oil inventory levels. They are predicting that the reports will show that the US crude stockpiles will show a decline by about 2 million oil barrels.

OMICRON SPREAD

Brokerage OANDA analyst, Jeffrey Halley, has said in his prepared remarks that he believes Omicron spread has yet to show the world its deadly affect. This new variant of the COVID-19 virus was found to be even more deadly than the previous variants and is much more contagious as well. Although lockdowns haven’t been imposed yet, it is predicted to happen very soon seeing how fast Omicron has taken over the world. The delta variant was extremely deadly and caused businesses to shut down during lockdown. The Omicron variant is expected to cause a much bigger and worse impact which no one would have imagined.

LIBYAN OILFIELDS

Libyan oilfields have recently reopened in order to meet the growing oil demand across the globe. Due to this increase in oil production, the market rates for the oil has also therefore increased. The National Oil Corporation had said in a statement that they would be suspending the import of oil as they no longer need it due to an increase in internal production. Since the increase in oil production just occurred recently, it’s going to take a while for it to actually come to markets for consumers to purchase.
