More “Transitory” Inflation
The Kobeissi Letter:  US electricity bills are surging:

Average US residential electricity prices rose +5% YoY, to a record 17.3 cents per kilowatt-hour in 2025.

Since January 2020, electricity prices have risen +30% or more in at least 11 US states, with the steepest increases concentrated in the Northeast and Midwest.

In parts of eastern Pennsylvania, electricity prices have surged +200% over this period, adding ~$23 per month to the average household bill this year alone.

KING WORLD NEWS NOTE: Electricity Prices Continue To Surge

Data centers are expected to add at least $23 billion to customer bills on PJM Interconnection, the nation’s largest power grid, over the 3 years ending May 2028.

This comes as US summer power demand is projected to rise +224 gigawatts over the next decade, enough to power an additional 180 million homes, driven primarily by data center expansion, electric vehicles, and heat pumps.

Rising electricity bills are a major economic issue…

Oil, Gold, Silver, Commodities
Ole Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy at SaxoBank:  Oil prices slipped after a relatively quiet, range-bound Monday, with softer price action today driven by news that Iran will attend negotiations with the US in Islamabad ahead of the ceasefire’s expiry on Wednesday. Talks resume following a weekend marked by renewed tensions and conflicting signals, leaving the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed for now. The limited number of vessels managing to transit has done little to ease the ongoing tightening of the global energy market, which is increasingly short of prompt supplies – supporting elevated prices across diesel, jet fuel, fertilisers, and other key commodities.

Gold
Gold is consolidating as traders assess the prospects for renewed US–Iran talks and the approaching ceasefire deadline. Its near-term trajectory remains closely linked to developments in the Middle East, given the potential spillover into inflation expectations, the dollar, bond yields, and US rate outlook. Also, some focus on US Fed Chair Nominee Kevin Warsh first nomination hearing before the Senate Banking Committee today.

Silver
China’s silver imports surged to a record high in March, reaching around 836 tonnes, well above the 10-year seasonal average near 300 tonnes for the month. Strong demand from retail investors and the solar sector has kept domestic prices trading at an approximate 10% premium to London so far this year.

Commodities
The Bloomberg Commodity Index is up 22% year-to-date, while the more energy-heavy S&P GSCI has gained 34%. All BCOM subsectors, except for softs, have delivered positive returns so far, underscoring the breadth of the rally – to a large extent driven by both direct and second-round effects of the Middle East conflict and the resulting disruption to key commodity supplies. Beyond strong gains across the energy complex, excluding natural gas, notable outperformers include aluminium, soybean oil, wheat, and cotton.
