JiKr stated that the "Cross-border Protection" function was officially launched on the JiKr App in the early hours of July 26th. Car owners can quickly obtain verification codes and unlock their vehicles with a single click, simplifying the process and improving response efficiency. Additionally, a "Cross-border Protection function switch" is under development and will be pushed out via OTA. Once the switch is launched, "Cross-border Protection" will be off by default. Before departure, car owners can manually turn it on or off on their mobile devices according to their needs. JiKr emphasized that if car owners actively enable this function, the vehicle infotainment system will display a prompt and some functions will be restricted after leaving the country. At that time, car owners can still unlock their vehicles themselves through the "Cross-border Protection" entry in the App, achieving a balance between "anti-theft protection" and "free passage."Saudi Aramco shares fell 1% in early trading.

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.
