Oil prices are down significantly, under the pressure of a report on US petroleum reserves, much weaker than yesterday's data on the API.

US Department of Energy reported that in the week of June 25 - July 1, oil stocks fell by 2.2 million barrels to 524.4 million barrels. This is close to the highest level for more than 80 years. Forecasts indicated a decrease of 2.5 million barrels. Oil reserves in Cushing terminal fell by 82,000 barrels to 64.1 million barrels. It was predicted a decline of 400,000 barrels. Gasoline inventories fell by 122,000 barrels to 238.9 million barrels. Analysts had expected stocks to fall 300,000 barrels.

The utilization of refining capacity fell by 0.5% to 92.5% and oil production fell to 8.428 million barrels per day versus 8.622 million barrels the previous week, the maximum rates since September 2013.

Yesterday the American Petroleum Institute reported that for the week to July 3, crude oil inventories fell to 6.736 million barrels, a record change from June 2015. Gasoline inventories also fell 3.6 million barrels. Distillate stocks fell 2.3 million barrels, while crude oil stocks in the Cushing terminal rose by 80 thousand barrels.

Continued high demand for oil in China and India gave little suport to prices. Experts disagree on when the supply and demand balance will be restored, but more and more analysts are inclined to think that the situation has tightened the supply of oil, and the market could be in deficit within two years.

However, Libyan officials said that export oil terminals, which have been closed since 2014, may reopen in the near future. As a result, the export potential can be restored to 600,000 barrels per day.

The cost of the August futures for WTI fell to 46.46 dollars per barrel.

The price of August futures for Brent fell to 47.62 dollars a barrel on the London Stock Exchange ICE Futures Europe.

The cost of gold has decreased from the highest level since March 2014, which was due to the strengthening of the dollar against the backdrop of the US employment statistics. However, a further decline in prices constrain concerns about the effects of Brexit.

Financial markets remain highly volatile after results of the referendum provoked a collapse of stocks, bonds reduced the yield to a record low, as well as increased demand for safe-haven assets such as gold and silver. Yesterday the spot price of gold toucked the high of March 2014, but there was no follow through ​due to rise of stocks and the US dollar.

Mitsubishi analyst Jonathan Butler said while the strong dollar is a "headwind" for gold, there are good opportunities for further rally of the precious metal. "I believe that gold can go up to $ 1381 or even higher than the psychological level of $ 1,400"

One of the reasons for today's strengthening of the US dollar was ADP data, which showed that employment growth in the private sector accelerated in June, and was higher than forecast. According to the report, the number of employees increased by 172K. It was expected that the number of employees to increase by 159 thousand.

Investors are also awaiting the publication of Friday's employment report in the US non-farm sector, which could affect the prospects of US monetary policy. Adverse findings reinforce the view that the Fed has little reason to raise interest rates this year. Until recently, it had been widely expected that the Fed will raise rates at some point this summer. Nevertheless, given Brexit and US data, investors are now skeptical about that.

The cost of the August gold futures on the COMEX fell to $ 1358.4 per ounce.

"The S&P have cut Australia's sovereign outlook to negative from stable (while affirming the AAA rating), citing persistent budget deficits. We are bearish on the AUD and target a move to 0.67 by year-end in AUDUSD.

The current fragile risk environment should not be supportive for G10 commodity exporter currencies. Furthermore, our economists expect the RBA to cut rates by 25bp at their next meeting on 2 August, a view now 60% priced into rates markets. The key policy consideration for the RBA is likely that inflationary pressures remain soft and we think Q2 CPI data (released 27 June) is will print in line with the RBA's 1.0% y/y forecast which would be enough to prompt a rate cut

The UK economy seems to show a significant slowdown after a strong second quarter, said NIESR, based on data obtained mainly before voters decided last month to leave the European Union.

Warning from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) comes from some of the early signs that businesses and consumers can suffer from the uncertainty created by the June 23 referendum.

NIESR estimated the UK economy grew by 0.6 percent in the second quarter, compared with an increase of 0.4 percent in the first three months of the year.

But NIESR warned that the acceleration was due to a sharp increase in activity in April, adding that gross domestic product is likely to remain at the same level in May and in June decline.

In a report made somewhat irrelevant by the UK's shocking Brexit decision, the minutes of the June Federal Reserve meeting revealed that officials are still leaning toward raising interest rates this year.

"Most participants judged that, in the absence of significant economic or financial shocks, raising the target rate for the federal funds rate would be appropriate if incoming information confirmed that economic growth had picked up, that job gains were continuing at a pace sufficient to sustain progress toward the Committee's maximum-employment objective, and that inflation was likely to rise to 2% over the medium term," the minutes of the June 14-15 meeting said.

However, there was no specific guidance offered about the timing of such a rate hike - rttnews said.

Analysts say a July rate hike is off the table, given weakness in the U.S. jobs market and the unexpected decision by U.K. citizens to leave the European Union.

"A couple of members" said they would need "sufficient evidence to increase their confidence that economic growth was strong enough to withstand a possible downward shock to demand and that inflation was moving closer to 2% on a sustained basis."

After yesterday's session in the US where the S&P500 index gained 0.54% and closed at daily highs, it seems that today we may expect some growth on the markets.

Another day strengthened the Japanese yen and gold, on the other hand, since this morning we have a small correction in the dollar and the Swiss franc. Investors from the beginning of the session for the Asian markets are clearly hesitant as to the direction that they should take. On the one hand, yesterday's behavior of overseas parquets gave a little courage for buyers, but awareness of the dangers that arise on the horizon does not allow buyers to develop wings and causes that assets considered as "safe havens" such as gold and the yen are still more expensive.

In the morning in Asia is dominated by the green color, although with some exceptions, such as the Nikkei index, falling in response to the still strong yen. Europe, however, gets a chance to fight for reflection after a disastrous first part of the week, and the Warsaw Stock Exchange should take advantage of it. The scale of the possible reaction in Warsaw will be able to build up a new opinion about the condition of our market, which yesterday was not the best.

Additionally, today will flow to the market quite a lot of macro data, including industrial production in Germany, Norway and the UK as well as data from the US labor market, which can kick-start trade in Europe. We have to remember that there is a heavy atmosphere on the market and subsequent bad data will be intensified desire for selling off the shares.

Australia's sovereign rating outlook was downgraded by Standard & Poor's Global Ratings on Thursday, without any remedial actions.

The outlook on 'AAA' rating was lowered to negative from stable. Accordingly, there is a one-in-three chance that the rating would be downgraded within the next two years if it believes that the Parliament is unlikely to legislate savings or revenue measures.

On credit ratings, the agency said along with strong institutions, a credible monetary policy, and floating exchange rate regime, Australia's public finances have traditionally been a credit strength for the sovereign rating.

S&P noted that without any forceful policy decisions, the government's fiscal stance may no longer be compatible with the country's high level of external indebtedness.

Australia's fiscal position continued to weaken delaying an eventual return to budget surpluses since the global financial crisis.

European stocks moved sharply lower again Tuesday, as concerns over the U.K.'s Brexit vote gripped the market after three London asset manages suspended trading in a property funds.

A more than 4% slide in oil prices further hurt the investment mood.

U.S. stocks shook off worries tied to the U.K.'s vote late last month to exit the European Union, dubbed Brexit, and closed higher Wednesday.

A stronger-than-expected report on nonmanufacturing activity helped nudge investors back into equities, while minutes from the Federal Reserve's June policy meeting showed the majority of policy makers were in favor of keeping rates on hold.

Some analysts attributed gains in the aftermath of Brexit to investors' strategy of buying stocks when the market dips, which tends to lead to up-and-down trading.

The health-care and consumer discretionary sectors led gains, while sectors considered defensive, such as telecoms and utilities, declined. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.44% gained 78 points, or 0.4%, to finish at 17,918.62.

Asian share markets crept higher on Thursday after upbeat U.S. economic data took some of the sting out of the latest Brexit scare, while the Australian dollar slipped as the country's triple A credit rating came under threat.

The agency had warned it may act after inconclusive elections over the weekend suggested the next government would have a hard time getting reforms through to law.
