Data from storage broker Tank Tiger shows that refiners and traders across North America are reducing lease renewals for diesel storage facilities due to very limited available storage capacity. Steven Barsamian, COO of Tank Tiger, stated that available diesel storage capacity for lease in North America and the Caribbean rose to a four-year high of 13 million barrels in October, up from 11 million barrels in June. Meanwhile, data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration shows that as of September 11th, U.S. diesel inventories had fallen to 107.9 million barrels, the lowest level for the same period since records began in 1982. Barsamian commented that the simultaneous decline in inventories and increase in storage capacity supply means that market participants expect diesel supplies to remain tight at least until the first quarter of next year.On September 21st, according to the Financial Times, the European Central Bank (ECB) launched an interbank tokenized payment system on Monday, marking the debut of the digital euro in the wholesale financial market. The ECB-operated platform, called "Pontes," allows banks to use central bank currency to settle transactions recorded on a private, decentralized ledger (similar to a shared online list). Tokenization refers to creating digital versions of assets and currencies, enabling secure online exchange on a blockchain-based system, thus differentiating it from existing forms of online currency. The ECB is attempting to establish central bank currency as an alternative to privately issued stablecoins for settling tokenized transactions. Furthermore, a retail digital euro for transactions between individuals and merchants is also under development. The ECB argues that both retail and wholesale digital euros are crucial for maintaining the freedom and sovereignty of the single currency area. ECB economists warn that if dollar-denominated stablecoins are widely used for digital transaction settlements in Europe, Europe could lose control of its monetary policy.On September 21, it was reported that in August 2026, the average daily turnover of interbank lending was 316.06 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 24.6%; the average daily turnover of interbank bond repurchase was 6.5 trillion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 14.8%.
