On June 25, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jia-kun held a regular press conference. A reporter asked about Chinas law enforcement patrols in the waters east of Taiwan. Spokesperson Guo stated that, according to Chinese domestic law and international law, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, China possesses an exclusive economic zone and continental shelf in the waters east of Taiwan. The relevant Chinese departments law enforcement patrols in these waters are legitimate measures to exercise jurisdiction in accordance with the law, maintain regional stability and maritime order, and are also necessary actions against Japan and the Philippines manipulation of maritime boundary issues and infringement upon Chinas maritime rights and interests. Relevant countries should respect Chinas sovereignty, territorial integrity, and maritime rights and interests, stop confusing right and wrong and distorting the truth, and relevant institutions should not make statements inconsistent with their status. The DPP authorities turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to the infringements committed by Japan and the Philippines, but instead colluded with external forces to launch a massive attack and smear campaign against the central governments rights protection efforts, and clamored for the fallacy of "Taiwan independence." This once again exposes the DPP authorities stubborn "Taiwan independence" nature and their ugly face of betraying the overall interests of the Chinese nation, and will surely be spurned by compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and subject to historical reckoning.June 25th - According to US media reports, Swiss Federal President and Minister of Economic Affairs Guy Parmelin will visit the United States at the end of this month to meet with US Trade Representative Greer, aiming to finalize a broader trade agreement between the two countries amid renewed tariff pressure from Washington.

Facts fully prove that the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Honduras is in the fundamental and long-term interests of both countries and their people. China is willing to promote the continuous development of China-Honduras relations on the basis of the one-China principle.Midday futures market summary for June 25: Weakness was concentrated in precious metals, chemicals, and the energy chain, with Shanghai silver leading the decline, falling by over 7%.

GBP/JPY Surpasses 161.00 Due to Firmer Rates, Discussions of UK Tax Cuts, and Concentration on BoE

GBP/JPY demonstrates moderate gains near 161.00 as it reflects the market's cautious disposition at the beginning of a key week that includes multiple monetary policy meetings and important data. Despite this, the cross-currency pair sustains its two-week recovery on the back of rising US Treasury bond yields and hawkish Bank of England forecasts (BoE).

 

Despite a tiny bid at press time, 10-year US Treasury rates remain uninspired about 3.51% after reversing a two-week decline last Friday. Concerns surrounding the Bank of England's 0.50 percentage point interest rate increase to contain inflation appear to keep GBP/JPY purchasers optimistic.

 

Notably, concerns regarding the United Kingdom's opposition to tax cuts appear to help the pair's upward momentum. Reuters quotes British finance minister Jeremy Hunt as saying on Friday that he plans to prioritize corporate tax cuts whenever public finances permit.

 

GBP/JPY sellers, on the other hand, are hopeful due to the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) continuing efforts to defend the Yield Curve Control (YCC) with recently higher inflation data from Tokyo. Japan's foundations may be on par with those of the United Kingdom, despite the former's greater stability.

 

The GBP/JPY exchange rate may experience a short-term rebound in the near future as a result of cautious optimism on the market and reduced fears of UK worker strikes. Nonetheless, the Bank of England's (BoE) rate hike and efforts to limit inflation without harming productivity will draw considerable attention.
