China's Return To The Oil Market Could Boost Inflation
Submitted by Tsvetana Paraskova of OilPrice.com
The U.S.-Iran agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could prompt China to return to buying more crude after months of multi-year-low purchases, which could reignite inflationary pressures despite the expected ease of oil flows from the Middle East.
Late on Sunday, the U.S. and Iran announced a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz more than 100 days after its closure. This re-opening could happen as soon as an agreement is signed on Friday. News of the deal sent oil prices tumbling early on Monday, with Brent Crude prices down to $83 per barrel, and WTI Crude at the $80 a barrel handle.

Japans Notenbank reagiert auf Inflation - Leitzins auf höchstem Stand seit 1995 (Reuters)
|
|
|
Japans Notenbank reagiert auf den steigenden Inflationsdruck infolge des Iran-Konflikts und hievt den Leitzins auf das höchste Niveau seit 31 Jahren. Die Währungshüter erhöhten ihn am Dienstag um einen Viertelpunkt auf ein Prozent. Es war die erste Straffung der Bank of Japan (BoJ) seit Dezember. Mit dem Zinsschritt schließt sich die BoJ anderen großen Notenbanken wie der Europäischen Zentralbank (EZB) an, die ihre Geldpolitik zur Inflationsbekämpfung ebenfalls gestrafft haben.
