A spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce stated: We have noted the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court in the tariff lawsuit and are conducting a comprehensive assessment of its content and impact. China has consistently opposed all forms of unilateral tariff increases and has repeatedly emphasized that there are no winners in a trade war, and protectionism leads nowhere. The U.S.s unilateral measures, such as reciprocal tariffs and fentanyl tariffs, violate both international trade rules and U.S. domestic law, and are not in the interests of any party. Facts have repeatedly proven that cooperation between China and the U.S. benefits both sides, while confrontation harms both. China urges the U.S. to cancel its unilateral tariffs on its trading partners. We have also noted that the U.S. is preparing alternative measures, such as trade investigations, in an attempt to maintain tariffs on its trading partners. China will closely monitor this and firmly safeguard its interests.Nasdaq futures extended their losses to 1%, S&P 500 futures are currently down 0.75%, and Dow futures are down 0.6%.Goldman Sachs: Potential easing of sanctions on Iran/Russia will accelerate the increase in crude oil inventories and release more supply in the long term, with crude oil prices expected to have a downside of 5% to 8% in the fourth quarter of 2026.Data released by South Korean automotive data research firm Carisyou shows that new car purchases by South Koreans in their 20s and 30s will fall to their lowest level in ten years by 2025.

Biden Reversing Trump's Decision to Expand Oil Drilling in The Arctic

On Monday, the Biden administration rescinded a Trump administration proposal that would have permitted the government to lease more than two-thirds of the country's greatest tract of public property to oil and gas drilling.


The decision by the Bureau of Land Management reduces the amount of land available for lease in Alaska's National Petroleum Reserve, a nearly 23 million-acre zone home to species such as caribou and polar bears.


The decision reverts to an Obama-era plan that authorizes fossil fuel exploitation in up to 52% of the reserve, vs the Trump administration's desire to open up 82 percent of the land to drilling. Additionally, it will reinstall some environmental safeguards for designated portions of the reserve, including Teshekpuk Lake, a wildlife-rich wetland complex.


The action comes after the Bureau of Land Management awarded the fewest oil and gas permits for drilling on public lands under the Biden administration earlier this year.
