Its worth noting that this regulatory intent had already been received and implemented by the industry. The "Administrative Measures for Consumer Finance Companies," which officially came into effect on April 18, 2024, explicitly stipulated for the first time that the outstanding balance of guaranteed credit enhancement loans of consumer finance companies should not exceed 50% of the total loan balance. By October of the following year (2025), many local regulatory agencies had further tightened this requirement in practice, reducing the upper limit to 25% through various means such as window guidance, while also providing institutions with a transition period for rectification. It should be pointed out that although many local regulators have conveyed this regulatory intent (guaranteed credit enhancement business should not exceed 25%) to the industry, this is not a rigid requirement. The strictness of implementation varies across regions, with some regions only providing guidance.Market sources say the signing of a trade agreement between India and the United States will be delayed by "several months".

WTI falls below $80 as attention goes to US Inflation for additional advice

During the Asian session, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) have felt selling pressure while seeking to surpass the crucial $80.00 resistance level. Tuesday's announcement of the United States Consumer Price Index (CPI) data has caused investors to divert their attention away from the price of oil.

 

The oil price increased on Friday as Russia announced a reduction in oil production in retaliation for price limitations imposed by G7 nations to prevent Russia from supporting its war necessities against Ukraine. Alexander Novak, Russia's energy minister, indicated that the country would reduce oil production by 500,000 barrels per day (bpd), or 5% of its output in March.

 

The United States Treasury Department has reiterated that it intends to limit the Kremlin's revenues per barrel in order to stifle Moscow's support for the war in Ukraine, while ensuring that Russian oil shipments reach necessary markets.

 

In the meantime, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is on the verge of extending its three-day high above 103.35 during the Asian session due to predictions that the US inflation data would show an unexpected increase in light of the tight labor market. The consensus, however, favors a reduction in annual headline inflation to 5.8% from the previous report of 6.5%, and in core inflation to 5.4% from 5.85.

 

Aside from that, the expression of deflation in China's CPI report published last week indicates that the method of economic recovery in the world's second-largest economy following the removal of price controls is somewhat slow. It will take adequate time for the economy to return to its pre-pandemic growth rate. This might dampen hopes for a rapid revival in oil demand.
