The main paraxylene (PX) contract rose more than 2.00% intraday, currently trading at 8,996 yuan/ton.On June 3rd, at a regular press conference held by the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, we noted that Nvidia founder Jensen Huang recently stated that Taiwan needs more electricity, leading to concerns within Taiwan about the islands power supply shortage. The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has consistently avoided addressing the vital energy issue that is crucial to the industrys survival. What is your comment on this? Spokesperson Zhu Fenglian of the Taiwan Affairs Office stated that the DPP authorities are single-mindedly pursuing "Taiwan independence" and have neither the will nor the ability to solve the structural problems facing the islands economic and social development. Power shortages have become a Achilles heel of Taiwans economic and social development, a fact that is evident to all. The DPP authorities have highly politicized the energy issue, not addressing it directly but using it as a tool for partisan suppression and attacking opponents, revealing their self-serving nature and disregard for the interests, well-being, and future development of the Taiwanese people.On June 3rd, Pan Chunsheng, Vice President of the China Association for Public Companies, stated at the 2026 China Social Responsibility Investment Summit Forum that despite the uncertainties brought about by policy differences, the underlying logic of sustainable development remains unchanged, and fundamental issues such as climate risk, supply chain security, and social equity will only become more urgent. He advised listed companies to maintain strategic focus and not easily change their direction in the face of short-term fluctuations in the external environment or temporary policy adjustments. Regarding the significant differences in disclosure requirements faced by companies going global in different markets, he suggested that listed companies gradually build cross-standard management capabilities and make adequate preparations in advance for different markets such as the EU, Southeast Asia, and the US. Furthermore, Pan Chunsheng pointed out that listed companies are encouraged to communicate more proactively with investors, using quantifiable data and verifiable performance to demonstrate a shared understanding of sustainable development.June 3 – A press conference in Shanghai announced that the 12th China (Shanghai) International Technology Import and Export Fair, themed "Building a New Ecosystem for Technology Trade and Writing a New Chapter of Global Cooperation," will be held from June 11 to 13 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center. Preparations are essentially complete. This years fair will feature one main pavilion, four specialized technology exhibition areas, and one innovation and trade service area, covering a total exhibition area of 38,000 square meters. It will showcase innovative achievements from 22 countries and regions worldwide and 24 provinces and municipalities across China, with the number of participating companies exceeding 1,006 for the first time.On June 3, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. Recently, the leaders of Japan and the Philippines issued a joint statement emphasizing the importance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and announcing the launch of so-called "maritime boundary delimitation negotiations," which the DPP authorities echoed. What is your comment on this? Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office, stated that there is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is a part of China. The proposed maritime boundary delimitation area announced by Japan and the Philippines is located east of Taiwan Island. Their so-called "boundary delimitation negotiations" seriously infringe upon Chinas maritime rights and interests, seriously violate international law and the basic norms of international relations, and are completely illegal and invalid. Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to the Chinese nation and should firmly uphold the national stance, adhere to national righteousness, jointly safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and safeguard the overall interests of the Chinese nation. The DPP authorities dare to align themselves with external forces and sell out national interests; they will inevitably be condemned by compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and punished by history.

Energy Prices Fall As Concerns About Russia's Oil Sanctions Grow

Brent oil futures slid 49 cents, or 0.5 percent, to $100.58 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude in the United States sank 20 cents, or 0.6 percent, to $96.03 a barrel. Both benchmarks fell more than 5% in the previous session to their lowest closing levels since March 16.


Josep Borrell, the European Union's top diplomat, warned a NATO summit that fresh EU sanctions, including a ban on Russian coal, may be adopted Thursday or Friday, and the group would next consider an oil embargo.


The coal prohibition, on the other hand, would take effect in its entirety in mid-August, a month later than originally anticipated.


"Nobody wants to take the risk of sanctioning Russian energy, which has been propping up the market," said Bob Yawger, director of energy futures at Mizuho.


India has maintained its purchases of discounted Russian crude oil imports, avoiding the loss of 2-3 million barrels of Russian oil per day expected by experts.


"While such a loss is still conceivable after contracts expire and India's refinery or storage requirements are met, such a scenario is still weeks, if not months, away," said Jim Ritterbusch, president of Ritterbusch and Associates LLC in Galena, Illinois.


Multiple outbreaks of the virus in China have triggered significant lockdowns in the country's largest metropolis, Shanghai.


"The demand situation in China is very dire, even more so now that there is so much fresh supply on the market," said John Kilduff, a New York-based partner at Again Capital LLC.


On Wednesday, member nations of the International Energy Agency (IEA) agreed to release an additional 60 million barrels on top of the 180 million barrels promised last week by the United States to help bring down gasoline prices.


Japan's Kyodo news agency stated that the country would release 15 million barrels of oil from public and private stockpiles.


"While this is the largest release since the stockpile was established in 1980, it will ultimately fail to alter the oil market's fundamentals," ANZ bank stated of the US dump.


According to ANZ, the announcement will likely postpone any producer production rises and may provide OPEC+ with further "breathing space despite requests to expand output further."


Other experts saw the stock market's rebound as a significant relief despite worries about market tightening.


"In light of these volumes, prior fears about supply constraints are no longer warranted, as seen by the price trend," Commerzbank (DE:CBKG) stated, adding that Brent prices had fallen by nearly $12 a barrel since the initial indication of a US release last week.
