(1) Trump stated on Sunday that oil obtained under a recent agreement with Venezuela will be used to replenish the United States Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). Previously, the United States had made significant withdrawals from the reserve due to global supply disruptions and high oil prices. The SPR currently stands at around 290 million barrels, its lowest level in nearly 44 years. (2) On social media, Trump said the “refilling” operation would start soon, describing Venezuelan oil as “a gift from Venezuela to the American people.” (3) It remains unclear whether the agreement can quickly supply crude oil to the SPR or provide short-term benefits for U.S. drivers. The agreement announced last Friday aims to revive Venezuela's oil industry, but significant investment and infrastructure development are still needed before production can increase substantially.

On Tuesday, following Federal Reserve Governor Waller’s call to consider a 50 basis point rate hike at the December meeting, this year’s FOMC rotating voting member Lorie Logan reiterated a hawkish stance, stating, "Given the current economic outlook, I believe at least two more rate hikes of 25 basis points each are needed. The pace of rate hikes this winter may be faster than what we have seen so far this autumn." On Tuesday, the two-year US Treasury yield jumped 19 basis points in a single day, reaching 4.74%.
