We will always prioritize energy security, adhere to a bottom-line mentality and a systematic approach, and focus on three key areas. First, we will ensure the "development" and "reservation" of fossil fuels. Coal is our greatest source of stable energy supply, and we must base our efforts on this national condition to build strong coal bases. For oil and gas, we will increase domestic exploration and development efforts, stabilize oil production, and increase natural gas supply. At the same time, we will strengthen energy reserves, improve the oil and gas reserve system, enhance coal-to-oil and gas production capacity and technology reserves, and improve coal production capacity reserves. Only in this way can we ensure unwavering security. Second, we will significantly increase the supply of non-fossil energy. Third, we will expand our network of energy cooperation partners.June 26 - On the morning of June 26, President Xi Jinping met with Tariq Rahman, Prime Minister of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh, who was on an official visit to China, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

The EUR/GBP pair extended its recovery above 0.88 during the Asian trading session. Anticipating that the European Central Bank (ECB) will continue to raise interest rates to combat persistent inflation, the cross has depreciated progressively. Friday will see the publication of preliminary Eurozone Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (Q4) figures. Prior to the publication of these figures, it is anticipated that the asset will exhibit explosive activity.

 

It is anticipated that the preliminary Eurozone HICP will decelerate significantly from 8.5% to 7.3%. While it is anticipated that the core HICP will rise to 5.7% from 5.6% in the previous release. Weak energy prices are anticipated to have a significant impact on Eurozone inflation. In light of Christine Lagarde's prediction that inflation will remain elevated for an extended period of time, the European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to continue tightening monetary policy.

 

In the interim, banking tensions are subsiding as the absence of information regarding additional collateral damage has a positive impact on the market. Chief Economist Philip Lane stated on Wednesday that ECB interest rates must rise if banking tension has no or a "relatively limited" impact.

 

Investors avidly anticipate the United Kingdom's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data. According to the consensus, the United Kingdom's growth in the fourth quarter of CY2022 remained unchanged. It is anticipated that the annual GDP will remain unchanged at 0.4%. It is expected that the British economy will undergo a severe recession as a result of high inflation and sluggish growth.

 

The Bank of England (BoE) policymakers appear confident that inflation will moderate in the near future and that the unexpected rise in February's inflation was a one-time anomaly; however, the absence of evidence raises doubts. If inflation persists, BoE Governor Andrew Bailey stated that additional rate increases would be announced. In contrast, Bank of America (BoA) analysts anticipate that the Bank of England (BoE) will not increase rates and will maintain current levels until 2024.
