The National Bank of Kazakhstan reported that Kazakhstans net gold and foreign exchange reserves in June totaled $60.161 billion (a 7.8% decrease month-on-month).JPMorgan Chase lowered its price target for Chevron (CVX.N) from $224 to $190.On July 10th, the National Energy Administration issued the "Action Plan for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction in the Energy Sector (2026-2028)". The plan proposes to vigorously promote energy conservation and carbon reduction in thermal power. It calls for the orderly and prudent shutdown of a number of qualified 300 MW and below coal-fired power units, and encourages the construction of replacement units according to the requirements of next-generation coal-fired power. It also promotes the implementation of ultra-critical (supercritical) generational upgrades for a number of 600 MW coal-fired power units. Support is provided for qualified units to undergo zero-carbon and low-carbon fuel blending and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) retrofits, with a target reduction of approximately 10% in carbon emissions per kilowatt-hour after the retrofits. The plan also calls for the implementation of a number of projects integrating coal-fired power, gas-fired power, and new energy sources, supporting the integration of coal-fired power and new energy sources through methods such as thermal energy storage coupling for peak shaving and integrated peak power generation and transmission, to achieve integrated carbon reduction effects.July 10th – According to the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT), the Satellite Communications Working Group of the Industrial Internet Industry Alliance (hereinafter referred to as the "Satellite Communications Working Group") was officially established in Beijing recently, under the guidance of the Information and Communications Administration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The Satellite Communications Working Group aims to build a platform for industry exchange and cooperation, accelerate breakthroughs in key core technologies for satellite communications, promote technological innovation and development such as non-terrestrial networks (NTN), and pool resources to jointly cultivate an open and shared satellite communications industry ecosystem, contributing to the construction of a manufacturing powerhouse, a space powerhouse, a cyber powerhouse, and a digital China.July 10th - The China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing (CFLP) released the "2026 China Highway Transport Capacity Development Report" today (July 10th). According to the report, the highway transport market will continue to adjust and optimize in 2025, with the capacity structure accelerating its upgrade towards large-scale, professional, and green development. Enterprises risk resistance and resilience in normalized operations have improved. Survey data shows that fuel-powered vehicles still dominate the current highway freight capacity structure, accounting for approximately 50%, but new energy vehicles have formed an irreversible substitution trend in specific scenarios. Among the surveyed enterprises, the penetration rate of new energy trucks is 44.4%. Of the enterprises that have already purchased new energy vehicles, 37.5% chose to "continue to expand their new energy vehicle fleet," and 37.5% chose to "maintain their existing scale."

President Tsai Ing-wen of Taiwan warned that the semiconductor sector confronts new and "volatile" challenges, but she pledged to work with the industry to overcome them.


Taiwan is home to the world's largest contract chip maker, TSMC, and is a leading producer of semiconductors used in everything from washing machines and mobile phones to data centers and fighter jets.


According to statements released by her office, Tsai told an industry meeting in Taipei on Wednesday evening, "The continued success of this company in recent years has occurred despite great global hurdles, including major uncertainty around supply chains."


"Even at this time, new impediments continue to arise, making the situation more perilous. Nevertheless, as in the past, our government will work closely with the industry to overcome these challenging times "She persisted.


Taiwan has often proved its adaptability and resilience in overcoming obstacles and preserving its status as a global leader in the semiconductor industry.


Tsai did not name the challenges affecting the sector, but since the COVID-19 outbreak began, a shortage of chips has affected the production of autos and various consumer electronics.


As a result of soaring prices, fears of a recession in key Western nations, and the impact of the situation in Ukraine, global consumer demand is currently dropping, which might have repercussions for Taiwanese chip manufacturers and the export-oriented economy of the island.


In addition to encouraging Taiwanese enterprises to establish facilities in the United States, Taiwan's most important international partner, the government has endeavored to preserve Taiwan's global leadership position.


Tsai continued, "Taiwan is consistently ahead of the pack when it comes to the most advanced chips."
