On April 6th, following the "Science and Technology Exchange Connect" initiative, the Shenzhen Branch of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange launched another foreign exchange facilitation measure, the "Science and Technology Salary Connect" pilot program. This program focuses on providing convenient two-way foreign exchange services for the salaries of employees of key state-supported units such as high-quality enterprises, universities, and research institutions. This facilitates the cross-border flow of talent in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and supports the construction of Shenzhen as an international science and technology innovation center. It is understood that qualified employees can, through public-private partnerships with their employers, avoid submitting or repeatedly submitting documents when processing salary purchase and settlement transactions at pilot banks. This model integrates relevant foreign exchange facilitation policies, leverages corporate credit enhancement, and significantly improves the efficiency and convenience of cross-border salary processing for employees with foreign work experience, providing high-quality foreign exchange services to support Shenzhens talent attraction efforts.April 6 - Israels Homeland Defense Command announced early this morning that it had detected missiles launched from Iran towards Israel and was attempting to intercept them.

Oil prices declined in early Asian trading on Thursday, pressured lower by increased supply and worries that China's new COVID-19 restrictions may further hurt the global economy.


Brent crude futures fell 37 cents, or 0.4%, to $95.27 a barrel at 00:06 GMT. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil futures dropped 32 cents, or 0.4%, to $89.23 per barrel.


Recent market volatility has been influenced by concerns over inadequate supply in the months following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and as OPEC attempted to increase output.


In spite of this, production in both OPEC and the United States has reached its highest level since the outbreak of the coronavirus. OPEC's output hit 29.6 million barrels per day (bpd) in the most recent month, while U.S. output rose to 11.82 million bpd in June, according to a Reuters survey. Since April 2020, both have achieved their highest points.


As a result of new COVID infections, the worst heat wave in decades, and a problematic property market, China's manufacturing activity continued to decline in August, signaling that the economy may struggle to retain momentum.


Group of Seven finance ministers will discuss the U.S. Biden administration's proposed price ceiling on Russian oil during their meeting on Friday, according to the White House.
