On July 10, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning held a regular press conference. A foreign journalist asked about the 10th anniversary of the Permanent Court of Arbitrations ruling on the South China Sea arbitration case, which determined that Chinas maritime claims in the South China Sea are inconsistent with international law. The Philippines stated today that it will continue to push for a "Code of Conduct in the South China Sea" and will use the arbitration ruling as an unshakable foundation. What is Chinas comment on this? Mao Ning stated that China has repeatedly clarified that the so-called "ruling" is illegal, invalid, and has no binding force. China does not accept or recognize it, and we will not accept any claims based on this ruling. She emphasized that formulating a "Code of Conduct in the South China Sea" is an important measure to implement the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea and an important consensus between China and ASEAN countries. China is always committed to accelerating consultations with ASEAN countries to strive for an early conclusion of the Code and jointly maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea. The so-called "ruling" has nothing to do with the Code, and the Philippines should not use the so-called "ruling" to create obstacles to the conclusion of the Code.July 10th - At a press conference held by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism on July 10th regarding the crackdown on forced shopping in the tourism market, it was announced that the Ministry has strengthened cooperation with public security, market supervision, and cyberspace administration departments to further intensify case investigations.

WTI price falls below the $76 mark amid altering financial dynamics and global growth concerns

The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) price is unchanged on Tuesday amid a weaker US Dollar and muted risk sentiment. WTI fell to a low of $72.31 on Monday as a result of a strong risk-off environment sparked by the repercussions from Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Banks. Since then, the WTI price has risen significantly as a result of the Federal Reserve's plan to intervene. After reaching a peak of approximately $76 on Monday, the WTI price retreated as the dynamics of the US Dollar shifted.

 

The financial system is being harmed by rising borrowing costs around the world and growth concerns are being raised. The WTI price is in a corrective decline as the narrative of China's reopening does not appear optimistic, as the country has lowered its growth forecast to 5.0%.

 

The SVB debacle exacerbates global growth concerns, as it is interpreted as the first of many financial system dings. Due to rising financing costs, businesses are struggling to make their repayments, which will eventually result in a decline in demand.

 

Despite tightened production and numerous voluntary cuts from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), the WTI price is struggling to surpass $80.

 

Oil prices are influenced by a number of variables, including the US dollar, inflation, OPEC, and global growth concerns. Considering the aforementioned factors, it is difficult to rationalize the directional nature of oil prices, but it appears that the oil market is primarily driven by development concerns.

 

Since these nations are struggling to maintain oil prices above the desired $80 mark, it will also be crucial to monitor the OPEC position on reduced oil prices.
