The CSRC stated that when a party commits two or more similar illegal acts, with both profits and losses from different acts, whether to offset profits and losses when calculating illegal gains is a key issue in the draft, particularly evident in market manipulation cases. The draft measures stipulate that illegal gains from two or more independent illegal acts should be calculated separately, and profits and losses from different acts should not be offset against each other.April 17th - According to foreign media reports, fuel prices have recently surged across the United States, and gasoline inventories in California have fallen to record lows. Analysts warn that the full impact of supply disruptions caused by the Strait of Hormuz closure on California has not yet materialized. According to data from the American Automobile Association (AAA), as of Thursday, California drivers were paying an average of $5.86 per gallon for fuel, the highest in the nation, far exceeding the national average of $4.09 per gallon. Analysts say that because California relies on refined petroleum products from Asia, supply tightness is expected to worsen further, making California one of the first regions in the U.S. to feel the supply shock from the Strait of Hormuz closure. A spokesperson for the California Energy Commission stated, "The Commission is in close communication with all refineries in the state to ensure sufficient transportation fuel supplies during this turbulent period of supply contraction caused by the actual closure of the Strait of Hormuz."Indian government officials predict that demand for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in India will decline during the summer.

Despite the fact that Eurozone interest rates are anticipated to peak sooner, the EUR/GBP looks to have breached over 0.8630

The EUR/GBP pair has had a stronger recovery from 0.8580 during the Asian session, approaching the pivotal 0.8630 level. Despite the European Central Bank (ECB) being close to reaching an interest rate high, there has been strong demand for Euro bulls. Thus, the monetary policy meeting scheduled for next week will be of utmost significance.

 

The cross is attempting to break strongly above the significant barrier of 0.8630 for the fourth time this week. The hawkish remarks made by ECB policymakers are holding back the euro bulls.

 

"There will be another rate hike," said Constantinos Herodotou, governor of the Central Bank of Cyprus, "but we are very near to neutral." The European Central Bank's chief economist, Phillip Lane, is unsure as to whether the inflation peak has already occurred or will take place in 2019. He stated that although "much has already been done," he does not rule out more rate increases.

 

Investors are currently looking forward to Christine Lagarde's speech, which will be revealed on Thursday. The ECB President is likely to lower her inflation projection in her future statement in light of the poor retail sales numbers.

 

In contrast to expectations for a 1.7% loss, this week's Eurozone retail sales numbers showed a 1.8% decline. Aside from that, annual economic data contraction came in at 2.7% as opposed to the 2.6% consensus expectation. A decline in household demand demonstrates the effectiveness of the European Central Bank's (ECB) policy tightening initiatives. To reach their sales targets, firms could feel pressured to lower the prices of their products and services.

 

The United Kingdom's deteriorating food crisis, brought on by growing costs and a labor shortfall, has had an impact on the Pound Sterling. According to Minette Batters, president of the National Farmers Union, "the government and the entire supply chain must act swiftly." The Financial Times stated that "tomorrow might be too late." The economy already faces rising food inflation, and the issue with the supply of food will make matters worse.
