U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA): Crude oil inventories in the U.S. Midwest fell to their lowest level since December 2014 last week.Market news: Senegals Sangomar crude oil export target for September is 95,000 barrels per day.On July 22, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister, met with Philippine Foreign Minister Lazaro in Manila on the sidelines of the East Asia Cooperation Foreign Ministers Meeting. Wang Yi conveyed Chinas solemn position and strongly protested the Philippine personnels violent actions in ramming Chinese law enforcement vessels at Renai Reef. Wang Yi emphasized that the key to developing China-Philippines relations is to grasp the correct direction. China has never been a security threat to the Philippines and has never historically invaded or colonized the Philippines. The existence of territorial and maritime boundary disputes between China and the Philippines is an objective fact. China has always been committed to managing differences and stabilizing the situation through bilateral dialogue and consultation. However, the Philippines has deviated from bilateral negotiation channels and, under the instigation of external forces, erected a makeshift "arbitration tribunal" to fabricate and hype up an illegal and invalid so-called "ruling," which China has never accepted, participated in, or recognized from the outset. The Philippines should immediately cease its provocative actions on maritime issues, abide by its commitments to China to date, and make concrete efforts to stabilize bilateral relations.U.S. Trade Representative Greer: Mexico was quite pragmatic in the negotiations; their growth depends on the U.S. market.The EIA report for U.S. distillate fuel oil production implied demand for the week ending July 17 was 5.3227 million barrels per day, compared to 4.7011 million barrels per day in the previous week.

Factbox-Crypto's greatest hacks and break-ins

Ronin, a network that permits the transfer of crypto coins throughout different blockchains, stated on Tuesday that hackers took on March 23 some 173,600 ether tokens and 25.5 million USD Coin tokens.


At the time of the news, the loot earned around $615 million-- as well as, because of an adjustment in the value of the tokens, some $540 million at the time of the hack-- making the theft among the largest on the document.


Right here are several of the other significant burglaries to have afflicted the crypto industry since bitcoin was birthed in 2008.

POLY NETWORK

Cyberpunks swiped around $610 million in August 2021 from Poly Network, a system that assists in peer-to-peer token purchases. The hackers behind the break-in, later on, returned nearly all of the swiped funds.


The hack underscored vulnerabilities in the growing decentralized money-- DeFi-- sector, where users provide, borrow, and save in digital symbols, bypassing the traditional gatekeepers of financing such as financial institutions and exchanges.

COINCHECK

In Jan. 2018, cyberpunks took cryptocurrency worth around $530 million from Tokyo-based exchange Coincheck. The thieves assaulted Coincheck's "warm pocketbook"-- a digital folder saved online-- to drain pipes of the funds, accentuating safety and security at exchanges.

South Korea's knowledge agency, stated as a North Oriental hacking group may have been behind the break-in.

MT. GOX

Among the earliest and most-high profile crypto hacks, bitcoin worth nearly 500 million dollars was stolen from the Mt.Gox exchange in Tokyo-- then the globe's greatest-- between 2011 and 2014.

Mt.Gox, which soon handled 80% of the world's bitcoin trade, applied for bankruptcy in very early 2014 after the hack was disclosed, with some 24,000 consumers losing access to their funds.

WORMHOLE

DeFi website Wormhole was hit by a $320 million break-in last month, with the hackers stealing 120,000 electronic symbols linked to the second-largest cryptocurrency, ether.

The crypto arm of Chicago-based Dive Trading, which had the year prior to getting the designer behind Wormhole, later on, changed the funds "to make neighborhood members entire and support Wormhole now as it continues to create."
