Trump says oil prices could fall sharply after US midterm elections

🛢️ Donald Trump said oil prices could “tumble” after the November 3 midterm elections, while also suggesting the war with Iran could end shortly after the vote.

⛽ He also said US gasoline prices could eventually fall below $2 per gallon, although he acknowledged that the decline may take longer than the election itself.

📈 The remarks come as Brent trades around $101.21 a barrel and WTI near $96, while US gasoline averages about $4.22 per gallon and diesel is close to $5.94.

🌍 Until November, energy prices are still likely to depend more on the Iran conflict, conditions around the Strait of Hormuz and physical supply. For now, the remarks are more about shaping expectations than signaling a direct change in oil-market fundamentals.

$DOGE – Liquidation Map (7 Days) – Current Price 0.0859

🔎 The 7-day liquidation map shows roughly $150 million in short liquidations above the current price, significantly exceeding approximately $60 million in long liquidations below. The liquidity structure therefore strongly favors the upside, with around 2.5 times more cumulative liquidity above the market.

📉 Below the market, nearby long-liquidation liquidity remains relatively thin around 0.0849–0.0839 before becoming denser across 0.0829–0.0809. The strongest clusters sit near 0.0839 and 0.0810–0.0819, with bars around $3.5–3.8 million. Losing 0.0849 would shift attention toward 0.0839–0.0829.

📈 Above the market, short-liquidation liquidity builds clearly from 0.0869–0.0879, with several bars around $5–7 million. Liquidity becomes much denser across 0.0919–0.0939, with the strongest cluster around 0.0923–0.0927 reaching close to $10 million. This is the most prominent upside liquidity zone on the map.

🧭 The broader setup favors the upside because short-liquidation exposure above is roughly 2.5 times larger. Breaking above 0.0879 would increase the probability of a sweep toward 0.0919–0.0929; if momentum continues, 0.0939 becomes the next notable liquidity zone. Losing 0.0849 would instead shift attention toward 0.0839–0.0829.

Australia softens domestic gas reservation plan, easing pressure on LNG exporters

🇦🇺 The Australian government has revised its gas reservation plan from a fixed 20% requirement on LNG exports to an “up to 20%” mechanism, allowing the actual obligation to be lower if domestic supply is already sufficient.

⛽ The new framework will be linked to around 110% of domestic demand and could add up to 200 PJ of gas per year, above the shortfall of as much as 140 PJ previously flagged by AEMO. Existing export contracts will be exempt.

📅 New licensing rules are expected from January 1, 2027, while domestic supply obligations are set to begin on January 1, 2028, later than under the previous plan.

📈 Origin and Santos shares edged higher in Sydney morning trade as the changes reduced regulatory risk for LNG projects in Gladstone. The near-term impact on Asian LNG markets is expected to remain limited.

$XAU – Liquidation Map (7 Days) – Current Price 4,417.5

🔎 The 7-day liquidation map shows roughly $350 million in short liquidations above the current price, exceeding approximately $240 million in long liquidations below. The liquidity structure therefore favors the upside, with around 1.5 times more cumulative liquidity above the market.

📉 Below the market, nearby long-liquidation liquidity remains relatively thin around 4,400–4,369 before becoming much denser across 4,341–4,313. The strongest cluster sits near 4,313 with a bar above $20 million, while 4,341 also contains a bar close to $15 million. Further down, the 4,228 area holds another cluster around $6–7 million. Losing 4,369 would shift attention toward 4,341–4,313.

📈 Above the market, short-liquidation liquidity increases sharply from around 4,440–4,454. The strongest cluster sits near 4,454 with a bar close to $24–25 million, while 4,482 also contains a bar around $22 million. Further out, 4,510–4,538 remains liquidity-heavy, including a notable bar near 4,538 at roughly $17 million.

🧭 The broader setup favors the upside because short-liquidation exposure above is roughly 1.5 times larger and relatively close to the current price. Breaking above 4,454 would increase the probability of a sweep toward 4,482; if momentum continues, 4,510–4,538 becomes the next major liquidity zone. Losing 4,369 would instead shift attention toward 4,341–4,313.

Apple launches iPhone Duo at $1,999, separating its sales cycle from the iPhone 18 Pro

📱 Apple unveiled the iPhone Duo, its first foldable iPhone, during the Surprise and Shine event early on September 10. The book-style device features a 7.6-inch inner display, a 2nm A20 Pro chip, a titanium frame, and IP68 protection.

💵 The Duo starts at $1,999 for 256 GB, below the $2,300–$2,500 range some investors had feared before the event. Meanwhile, the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max rose by $100 to $1,199 and $1,299, respectively.

🗓️ The iPhone 18 Pro goes on sale September 18, while the Duo will not reach stores until October 23. The more than one-month gap suggests Apple is separating the two commercial cycles, with the Pro line carrying early peak-season volume while the Duo serves as a new premium product aimed at lifting average selling prices and strengthening product buzz.

$ZEC – Liquidation Map (7 Days) – Current Price 1,240.8

🔎 The 7-day liquidation map shows roughly $125–130 million in long liquidations below the current price, exceeding approximately $80 million in short liquidations above. The liquidity structure therefore favors the downside, with around 1.6 times more cumulative liquidity below the market.

📉 Below the market, long-liquidation liquidity is heavily concentrated across 1,213–1,225, with the strongest cluster around 1,216–1,220 reaching above $6 million. Further down, the 1,152–1,164 and 1,104–1,116 areas also contain several large bars around $4–5 million. Losing 1,225 would shift attention toward 1,213–1,200.

📈 Above the market, short-liquidation liquidity begins building around 1,254–1,274 before becoming much denser across 1,290–1,305. The strongest cluster sits around 1,298–1,302, with bars reaching roughly $5.5–5.7 million. The 1,312–1,324 area also holds notable liquidity before density gradually fades.

🧭 The broader setup favors the downside because long-liquidation exposure below is roughly 1.6 times larger. Losing 1,225 would increase the probability of a sweep toward 1,213–1,200, while breaking above 1,254 would shift attention toward 1,290–1,305 and then 1,312–1,324.

US raises long-dated Treasury buyback to $6 billion, but yields keep climbing

🏦 The US Treasury said it may repurchase up to $6 billion of 10–20 year coupon securities in the September 10 operation, triple the previous $2 billion level. The program is designed to support market liquidity and is not QE or an expansion of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet.

📉 The new size still came in below part of Wall Street’s expectations, with some estimates around $7–10 billion. Long-dated Treasuries continued to sell off after the announcement, pushing the 10-year yield to around 4.85%, its highest area since late 2023.

📊 With more than 1 trillion of Treasuries traded daily and total US public debt above $40 trillion, the $6 billion operation remains relatively small. Its main impact is likely to be improved liquidity in older securities rather than a broader shift in long-term yield trends.

$XRP – Liquidation Map (7 Days) – Current Price 1.402

🔎 The 7-day liquidation map shows roughly $320 million in long liquidations below the current price, slightly exceeding approximately $305 million in short liquidations above. The liquidity structure is therefore fairly balanced but still modestly tilted to the downside.

📉 Below the market, long-liquidation liquidity is heavily concentrated across 1.352–1.380. The strongest cluster sits around 1.376–1.378, with bars approaching $20 million, while 1.364–1.372 also contains several bars around $13–15 million. Losing 1.400 would shift attention toward 1.388–1.376.

The strongest clusters sit around 1.452–1.460 with bars near $14–15 million, while 1.472–1.480 also holds several bars around $10–13 million. Liquidity density drops noticeably beyond 1.508.

🧭 The broader setup modestly favors the downside because long-liquidation exposure below remains slightly larger. Losing 1.400 would increase the probability of a sweep toward 1.388–1.376, while breaking above 1.410 would shift attention toward 1.448–1.460 and then 1.472–1.480.

Blackstone names new leaders for its ~$608 billion real estate business

🏢 Nadeem Meghji will step down as Global Head of Real Estate at the end of 2026 for family reasons, less than a year after becoming the sole head of the division. WSJ reported the move first, with Bloomberg confirming it after the U.S. market close on September 8.

👥 David Levine and Giovanni Cutaia will jointly take over the real estate business. Both are long-time Blackstone executives, pointing to an internal succession rather than a shift in operating strategy.

📊 Blackstone currently manages about $608 billion in real estate assets and continues to describe the investment environment as attractive. Data centers, logistics and rental housing remain key areas of focus.

🔎 Meghji played an important role in expanding Blackstone’s data center and logistics exposure, while Levine’s existing involvement in these areas may help limit strategic disruption during the transition.

$HYPE – Liquidation Map (7 Days) – Current Price 86.01

🔎 The 7-day liquidation map shows roughly $110 million in short liquidations above the current price, exceeding approximately $85 million in long liquidations below. The liquidity structure therefore favors the upside, with around 1.3 times more cumulative liquidity above the market.

Losing 84.8 would shift attention toward 83.6–81.8.

The strongest cluster sits near 90.4 with a bar above 4 million, while 91.0–91.2 also contains bars close to 4 million. This is the most prominent upside liquidity zone on the map.

🧭 The broader setup favors the upside because short-liquidation exposure above is roughly 1.3 times larger.
