As of 09:31 Beijing time, WTI crude oil futures rose 0.40%, and US natural gas futures rose 0.17%.On July 10th, Japanese Economy and Fiscal Policy Minister Minoru Jonouchi stated on Friday that the government would never pre-convey its preferences regarding how the central bank should set interest rates, thus mitigating market concerns about political interference in monetary policy. This followed a draft economic blueprint stating that "appropriately guiding monetary policy to achieve a stronger economy is very important," which exacerbated market concerns that the dovish government of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi might pressure the Bank of Japan to postpone interest rate hikes. The draft also mentioned a legal provision requiring the Bank of Japan to align its policy decisions with the governments economic agenda, but did not mention another provision ensuring its legal independence from political interference. At a press conference, Jonouchi stated, "The governments specific monetary policy measures are determined by the Bank of Japan, and this position remains unchanged." He pointed out, "The government will never pre-convey its views to the Bank of Japan on matters such as the timing and magnitude of interest rate hikes, or the direction of monetary policy." However, he added that the government and the Bank of Japan "should obviously" share an understanding of the economic, price, and financial situation.Oil-themed funds opened lower, with the Global Oil and Gas Energy LOF falling more than 3%, the Harvest Crude Oil LOF falling more than 2%, and the E Fund Crude Oil LOF, Southern Crude Oil LOF, and Oil Fund LOF all falling more than 1%.The Peoples Bank of China (PBOC) announced today that it conducted 20 billion yuan of 7-day reverse repurchase operations, with a bid volume of 20 billion yuan and a winning bid volume of 20 billion yuan.
