On April 2, CICC published a research report stating that due to the decline in coal prices, Yankuang Energy (01171.HK)s net profit fell 27% year-on-year last year, and its performance was roughly in line with the banks expectations. The bank expects the groups H-share earnings per share to be 9.2 billion and 11 billion yuan this year and next year, respectively. Although the decline in coal prices may drag down Yankuang Energys profits in the short term, in the long run, the group has huge growth potential and is optimistic about its profit growth. The bank maintains the groups outperform rating. Due to the slowdown in supply and demand and the decline in short-term profits, the H-share target price was lowered by 38% to HK$10, equivalent to a forecast price-to-earnings ratio of 10.3 times and 8.4 times this year and next year, respectively.Hong Kong-listed UBTECH Robotics (09880.HK) once rose by more than 7% during the session, but the increase has now narrowed to 5%.Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi: If tariff measures are implemented, we will quickly set up a special consultation window and provide capital flow and financing support.Ideal Auto (02015.HK): It took 31 months for the cumulative delivery volume of Ideal L series to exceed 1 million!Canada will not impose retaliatory tariffs on most U.S. food and other basic necessities, two federal trade advisers said.

In a risk-on environment with a weaker US dollar, WTI consolidates weekly losses above $83,000

The price of WTI crude oil is higher for the second day in a row while paring the weekly losses at the eight-month low on Friday during the Asian session. However, by the time of publication, the black gold has reached a new intraday high of around $83.50.

 

Recent news reports from the US Treasury Department regarding the oil price cap appear to have helped drive up energy prices together with stronger sentiment and a weaker US dollar. According to the US Treasury source, "the oil price cap should be set above the marginal production cost, taking into account past Russian oil prices."

 

In other news, stronger sentiment and slow US Treasury yields cause the US Dollar Index (DXY) to fall intraday by 0.55%, to 109.05 at the latest. It's interesting to see that after a solid day, the US 10-year Treasury yields are still stuck around 3.32%, while the S&P 500 Futures tracks Wall Street's gains at approximately 4,020.

 

Recent market sentiment appeared to be aided by remarks made by US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, which suggested that trade relations between the US and China were set to improve. The market's attitude also appeared to have been aided by recently stronger US statistics and expectations that global central bankers will be able to offset the shock caused by inflation with a comprehensive strategy and higher rates. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) article, on the other hand, raises some concerns about the future of China's technological enterprises and casts some doubt on the optimism.

 

A price document examined by Reuters on Friday revealed that Kuwait has decreased the official selling prices for its oil grades for the month of October from the previous month. Before the present program ends in October, US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said the administration of US President Joe Biden is considering whether additional releases of crude oil from the country's emergency stockpiles are necessary. Prior to that, a Department of Energy official reportedly told Reuters that the White House was only considering releasing the 180 million barrels from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) that the president had already stated.

 

It should be highlighted that the recent decline in China's inflation data, coupled with the hawkish central bank activities, presents a challenge to oil purchasers. Both China's Producer Price Index (PPI) and Consumer Price Index (CPI) show unfavorable results for August. However, compared to 2.8% market expectations and 2.7% in the prior year, the headline CPI declined to 2.5% YoY, and the PPI fell to 2.3% from 3.1% projected and 4.2% in the preceding year.
