Top Market Segment to Watch Out Today:

EXXON MOBIL: Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:XOM) said on Thursday it has delivered the first sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) cargo to Changi Airport, as part of a one-year pilot programme to test the new fuel for planes.

The cargo is a blend of fossil-based refined jet fuel from ExxonMobil’s Singapore integrated refining and petrochemical complex and SAF supplied by Neste Oil, ExxonMobil said in a statement.

Economic News:

US: The United States on Wednesday imposed sanctions on a network of Chinese, Emirati and other companies that it accused of helping to deliver and sell Iranian petroleum and petrochemical products to East Asia, pressuring Tehran as it seeks to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

The U.S. Treasury Department said in a statement the network of people and entities used a web of Gulf-based front companies to facilitate the delivery and sale of hundreds of millions of dollars in products from Iranian firms to China and elsewhere in East Asia.

Washington has increasingly targeted Chinese companies over the export of Iran’s petrochemicals as the prospects of reviving the nuclear pact have dimmed.

In Doha last week, indirect talks between Tehran and Washington ended without a breakthrough over how to salvage the deal, under which Iran had reined in its atomic program.

Then-U.S. President Donald Trump abandoned the pact in 2018 and reimposed sanctions, spurring Iran – which says its program is for peaceful purposes – to begin violating the deal’s atomic limits.

Eurozone: Euro area retail sales rose in May, recovering from a decline in the previous month but still below expectations, according to the EU statistics office.

Monthly seasonally adjusted total retail volumes in the currency bloc came in at 0.2%, up from the April reading of -1.4%. Analysts had forecast a rise of 0.4%.

The increase was driven by a 1.2% uptick in total trade volumes for non-food products, which helped to offset a fall in food and automotive fuel sales.

Retail spending for food, drinks, and tobacco dropped 0.3%, while car fuel sales volumes decreased by 0.2%, suggesting a recent surge in consumer prices may be weighing on demand for these items.

The highest monthly rise was in Cyprus, which jumped by 9.0%, while Croatia and Portugal also saw increases. The largest decline came in Ireland, which slumped by 6.5%. Austria and Finland were also among the biggest laggards.
