Energy market:

There are rumors that Bank of China has stopped accepting payments in yuan from Russian banks to Western countries since June 13. It’s okay, then we will pay only to the countries of the East.

It’s good that the ball is round. You can move anywhere from anywhere. Hello!

This issue has been prepared with the direct participation of analysts from eOil.ru and IDK.ru trading platforms. Here an assessment of the situation in the world and Russian markets is given.

Riyadh needs oil to stay above $80 a barrel or else the prince’s giant city project will be underfunded and the former pearl divers won’t be able to have a beautiful tomorrow for the foreseeable future. Therefore, KSA, by reducing production, will play both on its own side and on the side of Russia, which also needs oil revenues like air.

The Americans are working Iran with the promise of some cookies and buns in exchange for loyalty. After the Armenian president attended Erdogan’s inauguration, literally a week after he gave the disputed territories to Azerbaijan, there is nothing to be surprised about. The world is changing. Iran will now be offered so much that it may not resist. Washington can take not one million barrels of oil per day, but two or three (that is, in fact, everything that is, for the benefit of an example of oil supplies by barges to India from Russia before our eyes). And you can also build your own mega-city. The loss of Tehran is now extremely undesirable for Moscow. You will also have to offer something.

Grain market:

Apparently, the grain deal will cease to exist on July 17th. Accepting the fact that Europe will not rush to purchase Ukrainian grain, we will get a situation where a significant amount of grain will be concentrated on Ukrainian territory, and this will be the subject of bargaining in the fall. There will be the UN, there will be African countries, there will be individual personalities — the powers that be. And the market will follow what will happen to the Ukrainian harvest.

At the moment, the grain market quickly turned to growth, which may lead us to rise to 700.0 in wheat, and possibly to 750.0 cents per bushel. For corn, it is possible to reach the level of 650.0. Bring down the bullish impulse should be the first batch of new grain in mid-July.

It is noteworthy that Russia’s trade with other countries is becoming less elastic due to the inability to pay in dollars or euros and is moving into the mode of one-time transactions. When the trading fabric turns into patches, this will create problems with providing the population with goods. The first sign: bananas are now a strategic commodity and prices for it should be at low levels. Yes, just like palm oil.

USD/RUB:

The Fed left the rate at 5.25%, but there was a comment that the increase could continue. This creates fundamental support for the dollar.

At the St. Petersburg, including economic, forum, we were told that it is very dangerous to keep savings in other currencies. Fine. We will not. We all enter the bonds of the Russian government, comrades. And we never leave them.

The exchange rate of the national currency remains under pressure. It will be extremely difficult to get back under 80.00. The outlook for the pair remains bullish with a target at 90.00. The current increase in spending will be offset by the depreciation, among other things. It’s already clear.

Note that with a 99% probability we will soon see privatization deals. Smells like the 90s.

The United States celebrates Juneteenth. Monday is a day off.
