June 25 – The Ministry of Ecology and Environment held its regular June press conference today (June 25). Officials stated that my country has entered its main flood season, and in response to the severe situation of potentially large fluctuations in water quality during this period, the Ministry has acted swiftly and made arrangements. Regarding abnormal water quality fluctuations during the flood season, the Ministry will promptly conduct analysis and consultations, providing point-to-point guidance to local authorities to identify the causes and accelerate rectification. Simultaneously, it will promote joint risk assessment and collaborative countermeasures between upstream and downstream areas, as well as between left and right banks of river basins, to avoid situations where "upstream pollution leads to downstream liability" or "left-bank remediation leads to right-bank relapse," thus forming a closed-loop management system for problem assignment, rectification implementation, and follow-up evaluation.Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the U.S. State Department, Johnson: The U.S. Embassy in Caracas reports that all U.S. personnel have been confirmed safe following the earthquake in Venezuela.June 25 - Reuters reported that the U.S. Geological Survey initially estimated the death toll from the Venezuelan earthquake to be between 10,000 and 100,000.Hong Kong stocks related to new consumption concepts continued to decline, with Laopu Gold (06181.HK) falling more than 7%, Li Auto (02015.HK), XPeng Group (09868.HK), and Xiaomi Group (01810.HK) falling more than 4%, and Pop Mart (09992.HK) falling more than 3%.On June 25th, Investinglive analysts pointed out that Irans warning to ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz to coordinate with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard directly escalated Irans stance on the issue of transit through the Strait of Hormuz, and will immediately push up risk premiums for tanker freight rates and crude oil prices. The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warning that ships using unauthorized routes will face penalties is not just rhetoric, but an action statement that gives the Iranian Navy a legal and institutional basis to intercept, board, or seize ships that do not comply with regulations. The mandatory Channel 16 coordination requirement effectively gives Tehran control over information and consent for all ships transiting the strait. For the energy market, the key question is whether this statement is a response to specific alternative routes that the US or Gulf states may propose in the context of normalized shipping after a ceasefire, or whether it represents Irans preemptive defense of its sovereignty before facing pressure to reopen the transit route. Regardless of the interpretation, it is bearish for supply security but bullish for crude oil prices in the near term.
