July 20th - On July 19th, the total crude oil production of the Bayan Oilfield in Bayannur, Inner Mongolia, exceeded 6 million tons. This marks the second time in just seven months that it has surpassed the 5 million ton mark, following its achievement in December 2025. In the first half of the year, the oilfield produced over 870,000 tons of crude oil, completing 51% of its annual plan. Daily production remained stable at 4,800 tons, a year-on-year increase of 20%, contributing nearly one-third of the daily output of the North China Oilfield.On July 20th, in an interview published by Iranian media on July 19th, Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi revealed that during indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States before the Israeli military attack on Iran last June, the US attempted to "buy Iran" by making numerous promises, but he rejected them on the spot. Araqchi said he stated immediately that Iran would not sell its enriched uranium because it was obtained through 20 years of sanctions endured by the Iranian people and the sacrifices of Iranian scientists. He emphasized that the United States could neither threaten nor buy Iran.July 20th - Hedge funds short positions in the New Zealand dollar have reached a record high, as they believe the recent rebound in global oil prices could exacerbate economic pressures in New Zealand. Data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) shows that in the week ending July 14th, leveraged funds increased their net short positions in the New Zealand dollar by 1,907 contracts to 29,582 contracts, the highest level since 2006. This bearish stance contrasts with the recent rebound in the New Zealand dollar, which was primarily driven by the Reserve Bank of New Zealands hawkish policies. Furthermore, investor concerns about New Zealands energy-importing economy are also reflected in the short bets, as escalating tensions between the US and Iran have caused oil prices to break through $90 per barrel again. The oil price shock could further worsen the countrys trade balance; last month, the country barely avoided a trade deficit, while domestic consumer spending declined.Wesfarmers Australia: Founders an artificial intelligence partnership with Microsoft (MSFT.O).Shanghai Auntie (02589.HK) once surged by more than 50% during the session, but the gains have now fallen back to 29%.

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.
