Li Auto (02015.HK): On September 2, the new generation flagship MPV Li MEGA will be officially launched; the new family flagship SUV Li i9 will be launched in mid-September.On September 1st, Tencents Hunyuan team announced the release of a lightweight version of the Hy4 preview model, compressing its weights from 1.5TB to approximately 214GB. According to reports, the compressed model maintains almost the same long-text comprehension capabilities as the original model, and its multi-turn long-context retrieval is essentially on par with the original, with only a slight decrease in mathematical complexity, all within acceptable limits. It can handle everyday coding assistance, tool usage, long document processing, and regular question answering.On the morning of September 1 local time, President Xi Jinping will attend the 26th meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) at the Bishkek Palace of Happiness and deliver an important speech.September 1st - According to the latest statistics from Flight Manager DAST, 18 China-Japan routes cancelled all flights in August, the latter half of the summer travel season. A total of 1,120 flights from mainland China to Japan were cancelled in August, representing a cancellation rate of 30.1%.On September 1st, Westpac Bank predicted that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) would raise interest rates by 25 basis points to 2.75% on September 2nd, a prediction consistent with market expectations. The bank anticipates that the RBNZs policy forecasts will suggest a year-end rate of 3%, with a peak potentially approaching 3.3%. Regarding a potential further rate hike in October, the bank expects the RBNZ to signal a data-dependent outcome. Unless the RBNZ deviates from Westpacs expected "data-dependent" framework in its statements about October policy action, the potential for a sharp market reaction is limited. The bank believes the probability of a hawkish surprise, an upward revision of the neutral rate assumption, or a clearer signal of consecutive rate hikes in October and December is only 10% to 15%; similarly, the probability of a dovish surprise suggesting a pause in rate hikes before December is also 10% to 15%. This implies that the risks around the baseline scenario are roughly symmetrical, with no significant bias.

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.
