Oil prices fell to their lowest level since March on Monday. This followed statements from US President Trump and the Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister that the two sides had reached a preliminary agreement to end the war and were prepared to resume navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Weak crude oil futures reduced the attractiveness of palm oil as a feedstock for biodiesel. Asian stock markets generally surged on Monday, the US dollar weakened, and oil prices fell sharply, as the preliminary peace agreement between the US and Iran signaled an easing of global inflationary pressures and reduced the need for further interest rate hikes.On June 15th, Futures News reported that the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments issued a notice on launching a three-year action plan for energy conservation and carbon reduction in key industries. The notice proposes promoting energy conservation and carbon reduction upgrades in key processes and equipment such as blast furnaces and converters; applying advanced technologies such as high-proportion pelletizing in blast furnaces, top-pressure equalization gas recovery, and oxygen-enriched combustion in hot blast stoves; promoting inter-process interface connection technologies such as one-pot molten iron; orderly carrying out the application of technologies such as hydrogen metallurgy; and accelerating the upgrading of energy-consuming equipment such as motors, fans, water pumps, heat pumps, boilers, oxygen generators, air compressors, and transformers. It also calls for implementing upgrades such as waste heat recovery and waste energy power generation, and strengthening the recovery and utilization of by-product gas, waste heat, and waste pressure. Top-loading coke ovens with a carbonization chamber height of less than 6 meters (rammed coke ovens with a height of less than 5.5 meters), pelletizing equipment with a capacity of less than 1.2 million tons/year, blast furnaces with a capacity of less than 1,200 cubic meters, converters with a capacity of less than 100 tons, electric arc furnaces with a capacity of less than 100 tons (50 tons for alloy steel), and old and inefficient self-owned coal-fired units should be upgraded and transformed as soon as possible. Coke ovens should be equipped with high-efficiency dry quenching devices.Market news: Russian airstrikes in Kyiv, Ukraine, have killed two people.On June 15th, a notice was issued proposing to improve price guidance and regulation. All regions should fully leverage the role of price mechanisms, comprehensively considering factors such as the implementation of capacity and output control policies, energy consumption and carbon emission levels, and environmental performance. The existing differentiated electricity pricing, tiered electricity pricing, and punitive electricity pricing policies can be merged into a unified differentiated electricity pricing policy, with a surcharge of no more than 0.1 yuan per kilowatt-hour on top of the market transaction price. This surcharge will be used to offset system operating costs.
