July 9th - According to China.com, the State Council Information Office will hold a press conference at 10:00 AM on Tuesday, July 14th, 2026, where Wang Jun, Deputy Director of the General Administration of Customs, will introduce the import and export situation in the first half of 2026 and answer questions from reporters.July 9th - Following the second consecutive day of US strikes against Iran, the fragile ceasefire agreement between the two countries is increasingly unstable, bringing traffic in the Strait of Hormuz to a near standstill on Thursday. Ship tracking data shows that observable traffic on this vital global energy corridor is concentrated primarily on the northern side of the waterway, via Iranian-approved routes, while the US-backed Oman corridor is virtually deserted. Among large vessels, only one very large crude carrier (VLCC) sanctioned by the US has left the Persian Gulf, while one container ship flying the Iranian flag was seen in the strait. However, it cannot be ruled out that some vessels may have passed through the strait with their transponders switched off. This contrasts sharply with recent daily activity in the Strait of Hormuz. Kpler data shows that in the three weeks since the US and Iran reached a temporary agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the average daily transit of cargo ships has been 34, peaking at 59 on June 24th, compared to less than 20 on most days during the war.July 9th - According to a press conference held today by the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, as part of the APEC China Year series of events, under the guidance of the Ministry of Natural Resources, the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, the Peoples Government of Guangdong Province, and the Peoples Government of Shenzhen Municipality will convene the APEC Forestry Ministerial Meeting in Shenzhen from July 27th to 28th.

WTI struggles to surpass $85.00 despite the fact that hurricane Fiona and US President Biden favor bulls

After declining for three consecutive weeks, WTI crude oil prices posted modest gains around $85.30 during Monday's Asian session as traders prepared for the Fed's monetary policy decision. In addition to price-positive news from China and the United States concerning Hurricane Fiona, the price of black gold remains positive. In addition, statements from Vice President Joe Biden appeared to have supported oil prices during a lackluster session.

 

Recent information from the National Hurricane Core (NHC) indicates that the center of hurricane Fiona will approach the northern shore of the Dominican Republic tonight. The Reuters update also stated, "Hurricane Fiona is currently traveling west of Puerto Rico and is headed for the eastern Dominican Republic, producing devastating flooding."

 

The news that Dalian, a city in the Chinese province of Liaoning, will remove the citywide lockdown on Monday also seems to have supported the WTI recovery. On the same line, US President Biden is quoted as saying, "I'm more positive than I've been in a very long time." The national leader also claimed that inflation will be brought under control.

 

Nonetheless, the oil bears are optimistic due to the Fed's hawkish wagers and the economic concerns emanating from China and Europe. Initial September Consumer Sentiment readings from the University of Michigan came in at 59.5, up from 58.6 the previous month but below market expectations of 60.0. With the stronger US statistics, the probability of a 75 basis point (bps) rate hike by the Federal Reserve increased to over 80%, or 82% at the time of publication, while the market's estimates of a complete one percentage point increase in the Fed rate jumped to 18%.

 

In the future, demand concerns are likely to continue exerting downside pressure on the energy market, despite the fact that the absence of important data/events on Monday and hurricane updates are likely to assist the black gold in recouping recent losses.
