Mai Li Ni, a senior practitioner in cross-border e-commerce, talked about the recent tariff policy of the United States with obvious helplessness in his tone. He said that his most personal feeling is that this directly hit the survival space of e-commerce companies, freezing the entire industry and even the supply chain. The price comparison platform "Smart Exploration" said that they monitored 930 Amazon products that have increased in price since April 9. With the sharp increase in tariffs, the average price increase of these products reached 29%, covering multiple categories such as clothing, household goods, electronic products and toys. There are also several e-commerce platforms that announced that due to the increase in operating costs caused by "recent changes in global trade rules and tariffs", price adjustments will be implemented from April 25. Commodity prices have soared, and consumers and companies are under double pressure. In this regard, Mai Li Ni said that it is difficult for the US government to achieve its desired "manufacturing return" so simply by imposing tariffs.Conflict situation: 1.

Ukraine said it still takes time to finalize the text of the Ukrainian-US mineral agreement. 2. Zelensky announced a meeting with Trump and emphasized the realization of a comprehensive and unconditional ceasefire. 3.

April 27, a person familiar with the matter said on Saturday that the European Central Bank has set up a special task force led by Vice President Guindos, which will seek ways to simplify European banking rules. The source said that the central bank governors of Germany, France, Italy and Finland also participated in the working group. However, the European Central Bank has no right to amend the rules-this is the prerogative of the European legislature in Brussels, so any recommendations of the special task force must be submitted to Brussels for review. It is reported that this action stems from a letter jointly sent by the governors of the central banks of Germany, France, Italy and Spain to the European Commission this year, calling for the simplification of "overly complex" European banking rules.

WTI advances toward $75.00 as China-related demand optimism offsets recession fears

In the early hours of Monday, WTI steadily climbs near the intraday high of $74.70 as bullish emotion competes with economic slowdown worries. Despite this, the weaker US Dollar and a light schedule allow buyers of black gold to maintain control following Friday's mixed performance.

 

In spite of this, the risk profile remains elevated in light of China's reopening of its borders after a three-year closure. On the same line, Guo Shuqing, party secretary of the People's Bank of China, made his remarks (PBOC).

 

Reuters, transmitting China unlock news, claimed that "about 2 billion journeys are anticipated this season, roughly doubling the volume of previous year, and recovering to 70% of 2019 levels," citing a statement from the Chinese government.

 

On the other side, PBOC's Shuqing stated, "The world's second-largest economy is likely to recover rapidly due to the country's optimal Covid-19 response and the continued implementation of its economic policies."

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) fell the most in three weeks the day before, down 0.20% intraday to 103.70 as of press time, as the US employment report failed to excite greenback purchasers and the US activity numbers stoked fears of an economic slowdown. It's worth mentioning that the previous day's disappointing US wage growth, ISM Services PMI, and Factory Orders weighed on Treasury bond yields and the DXY.

 

On a different page, reports regarding a delay in the restoration of the colonial pipeline and the Russia-Ukraine conflict appear to also benefit energy buyers. Traders fear additional rate hikes ahead of the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for December from China and the United States on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, which tests the positive momentum.
