July 20th - On July 19th, the total crude oil production of the Bayan Oilfield in Bayannur, Inner Mongolia, exceeded 6 million tons. This marks the second time in just seven months that it has surpassed the 5 million ton mark, following its achievement in December 2025. In the first half of the year, the oilfield produced over 870,000 tons of crude oil, completing 51% of its annual plan. Daily production remained stable at 4,800 tons, a year-on-year increase of 20%, contributing nearly one-third of the daily output of the North China Oilfield.On July 20th, in an interview published by Iranian media on July 19th, Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi revealed that during indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States before the Israeli military attack on Iran last June, the US attempted to "buy Iran" by making numerous promises, but he rejected them on the spot. Araqchi said he stated immediately that Iran would not sell its enriched uranium because it was obtained through 20 years of sanctions endured by the Iranian people and the sacrifices of Iranian scientists. He emphasized that the United States could neither threaten nor buy Iran.July 20th - Hedge funds short positions in the New Zealand dollar have reached a record high, as they believe the recent rebound in global oil prices could exacerbate economic pressures in New Zealand. Data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) shows that in the week ending July 14th, leveraged funds increased their net short positions in the New Zealand dollar by 1,907 contracts to 29,582 contracts, the highest level since 2006. This bearish stance contrasts with the recent rebound in the New Zealand dollar, which was primarily driven by the Reserve Bank of New Zealands hawkish policies. Furthermore, investor concerns about New Zealands energy-importing economy are also reflected in the short bets, as escalating tensions between the US and Iran have caused oil prices to break through $90 per barrel again. The oil price shock could further worsen the countrys trade balance; last month, the country barely avoided a trade deficit, while domestic consumer spending declined.Wesfarmers Australia: Founders an artificial intelligence partnership with Microsoft (MSFT.O).Shanghai Auntie (02589.HK) once surged by more than 50% during the session, but the gains have now fallen back to 29%.

Voyager Digital Holdings Inc., a cryptocurrency company, has been granted permission by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York to restore $270 million in client funds, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.


Voyager Digital Holdings Inc., a cryptocurrency company, has been granted permission by the US Bankruptcy Court in New York to restore $270 million in client funds, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.


According to the Journal, Judge Michael Wiles, who is in charge of Voyager's bankruptcy, said the firm had "sufficient grounds" to back up its claim that clients should be given access to the custodial account kept at Metropolitan Commercial Bank.


The business did not immediately respond to requests for comment.


Voyager, one of several businesses that struggled after the widespread turbulence on the cryptocurrency market, filed for Chapter 11 last month.


Voyager reported that it had between $1 billion and $10 billion in assets and liabilities, as well as over 100,000 creditors, in its bankruptcy case.


The Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp (FDIC) issued an injunction to the firm last week directing it to stop making "false and misleading" promises about the government's protection of its clients' cash.


The firm only had a bank account at Metropolitan Commercial Bank, according to the authorities, and none of the investors using its platform were covered by the FDIC.


During the COVID-19 epidemic, cryptocurrency lenders like Voyager saw a surge in business, luring depositors with high interest rates and convenient access to loans that conventional banks seldom ever gave. Lenders have suffered from the recent decline in cryptocurrency markets, which was brought on by the failure of two significant tokens in May.
