Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara: The specific details of monetary policy will be decided by the Bank of Japan.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.

Natural Gas Price News: XNG/USD prompts a three-day recovery near the monthly apex near $2.50 due to the strengthening of the US Dollar

During the early hours of Wednesday morning in Europe, the price of natural gas (XNG / USD) reverses course from its greatest levels in a month to post modest losses of approximately $2.51. As a result, the energy instrument breaks a three-day winning stretch amid negative sentiment and the most recent dollar recovery.

 

Recent news articles concerning the US House China Committee's discussion of the Taiwan invasion scenario and a likely delay on the US debt ceiling decision appear to have agitated the risk profile. Recent unfavorable US data and hawkish Fed forecasts may be on the same trajectory. It should be noted that a divided earnings season influences sentiment and the price of Natural Gas.

 

In addition, Bloomberg released news indicating China's involvement in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which, along with US President Joe Biden's reluctance to negotiate the debt limit, weighed on sentiment.

 

The recent decline in the XNG/USD price appears to be the result of a combination of factors, including reports that the United Kingdom has sufficient natural gas supplies to last through the winter and concerns about the likelihood of milder weather in the West. The Financial Times (FT) may have reported similar information: "The EU is storing record amounts of natural gas after a milder-than-expected winter, bolstering hopes that the bloc can wean itself off imports from Russia." According to the industry group Gas Infrastructure Europe, the bloc's storage capacity reached 55.7% at the beginning of the month, the highest level for early April since at least 2011.

 

In spite of this, the US Dollar Index (DXY) reverses its previous recovery from a one-year low and gains offers to 101.80 at the latest.

 

The previous day, the dollar index versus six main currencies reversed course in response to declining yields. In spite of this, US 10-year and 2-year Treasury bond coupons declined for the first time in four days by the end of Tuesday, hovering around 3.59 and 4.29 percent at the time of publication.

 

As a result of these trades, S&P 500 Futures have retreated from their greatest levels since early February, which were recorded the day before, and are currently trading near 4,178. Notable is the fact that the US stock futures ended their two-day winning trend with the most recent inactivity.

 

The news surrounding China and the US Federal Reserve (Fed), as well as the Fed Beige Book, can occupy Natural Gas traders until Thursday's release of weekly inventory data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).
