We will always prioritize energy security, adhere to a bottom-line mentality and a systematic approach, and focus on three key areas. First, we will ensure the "development" and "reservation" of fossil fuels. Coal is our greatest source of stable energy supply, and we must base our efforts on this national condition to build strong coal bases. For oil and gas, we will increase domestic exploration and development efforts, stabilize oil production, and increase natural gas supply. At the same time, we will strengthen energy reserves, improve the oil and gas reserve system, enhance coal-to-oil and gas production capacity and technology reserves, and improve coal production capacity reserves. Only in this way can we ensure unwavering security. Second, we will significantly increase the supply of non-fossil energy. Third, we will expand our network of energy cooperation partners.June 26 - On the morning of June 26, President Xi Jinping met with Tariq Rahman, Prime Minister of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh, who was on an official visit to China, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

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.
