On July 10th, the National Health Commission issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Management of Continuous Medication Use for Residents." The Notice provides policy support for establishing a scientific and standardized mechanism for managing continuous medication use for residents, forming a fair, accessible, systematic, continuous, high-quality, and efficient medication service system. It makes specific provisions in three main aspects: First, establishing and improving a multi-level management mechanism. Based on the actual situation of information technology construction at the provincial, municipal, county, and closely integrated medical consortium levels, the functions of continuous medication use management for residents within the region will be expanded. Second, promoting the co-construction and sharing of medication information, mainly including prioritizing the use of national standards for data collection, recording complete medication information for residents, standardizing individualized medication management for patients, establishing and improving regional medication monitoring and analysis mechanisms, assisting in improving clinical pharmacy service capabilities, strengthening the supply of convenient and beneficial services for residents, and establishing a clinical medication feedback mechanism. Third, standardizing the entire process management of continuous medication use for residents, mainly clarifying the management responsibilities of health administrative departments at all levels and the leading hospitals of closely integrated medical consortia.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).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 conduct research and development on cutting-edge low-carbon, zero-carbon, and negative-carbon technologies. Focusing on key areas such as the clean and efficient utilization of fossil fuels and the large-scale utilization of renewable energy, the plan calls for increased efforts in forward-looking and strategic research on major cutting-edge technologies, accelerating breakthroughs in key technologies such as supercritical carbon dioxide power generation and CCUS, tackling key technologies for flexible and efficient wind and solar hydrogen production and large-scale safe hydrogen storage, and achieving breakthroughs in core technologies such as green hydrogen synthesis catalysis, low-carbon synthesis processes, and long-distance storage and transportation.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 optimizing the industrial structure of oil refining and coal-to-oil gas. The oil refining industry will adhere to capacity reduction and replacement, and newly built refineries must meet benchmark energy efficiency standards. It will strengthen coal-to-oil gas production capacity and technology reserves, improve conversion efficiency, and promote energy consumption and carbon emissions per unit of product to reach or exceed industry-leading values. It will accelerate the upgrading and transformation of the oil refining and coal-to-oil gas industries. It will orderly promote the replacement of steam turbine drives with electric drive systems. It will promote the deep integration of coal-to-oil gas, oil refining, and new energy industries, encourage related projects to carry out large-scale replacement of green electricity and green hydrogen, and gradually reduce the use of fossil fuels for hydrogen production. It will promote the large-scale application of CCUS (Coal-to-Gas and Gas).

Natural Gas prices fall below $2.70 despite USD Index attempts to recover, and demand concerns grow

After a perpendicular recovery to close to $2.70 in the Asian session, Natural Gas futures have turned sideways. Weakness in the US Dollar Index (DXY), in general, has aided the upward bias in natural gas prices. Natural Gas futures appear vulnerable near $2.70 as the USD Index has demonstrated a recovery move to near 103.90 as investors become anxious ahead of the release of the United States Consumer Price Index (CPI) data.

 

The Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates is anticipated to have a negative impact on industrial demand for natural gas (Fed). The market anticipates that Fed chair Jerome Powell's scheduled rate hikes will lead to a recession in the near future.

 

Meanwhile, Winter is nearing its conclusion and summer has not yet arrived. Consequently, demand for residential purposes to heat domestic spaces will remain low. Additionally, because residences will require less electricity to operate air conditioners, power companies are less reliant on natural gas.

 

The recent decline in the USD Index is what has given Natural Gas prices new life. The US Energy Information Administration's (EIA) inventory data, which is released every Thursday, will dominate this week's trading in Natural Gas futures.

 

Going forward, investors eagerly anticipate the publication of US inflation data in order to form a new consensus. According to the projections, the headline CPI could fall to 6.0% from the previous release of 6.4%. And, core inflation, which excludes crude and food prices, is anticipated to decrease slightly to 5.5% from the previous release of 5.6%.
