The Japanese economy remains resilient and still foreshadows a sharp acceleration in inflation. The composite PMI rose slightly to a four-month high of 53.1 in July from 52.8, consistent with a GDP growth rate of approximately 1.5%, above trend. Thieliant added that this improvement is difficult to explain, as both the services and manufacturing PMIs weakened.

Huatai Futures believes that geopolitical factors remain the main driver of recent oil price surges, including the renewed closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the shutdown of CPC terminals, and Houthi attacks on Red Sea oil tankers. However, the physical market has been relatively restrained recently. Apart from a significant rebound in the discount for Middle Eastern crude oil, discounts in Europe, West Africa, and Latin America have remained relatively stable without a sharp rise. This differs significantly from the market conditions in March and April of this year. Currently, the physical market is not short of oil, and there has been no panic buying. This is mainly due to sluggish Chinese imports and the fact that other countries import demands are largely met. The nearly 80 million barrels of cargo held up when the Strait of Hormuz reopened also acted as a buffer for the market. Currently, there is a significant divergence between paper and physical markets, indicating that the current upward trend is mainly driven by sentiment rather than fundamentals.
