April 10th - Indian refiners have been buying large quantities of Russian crude oil over the past two months and expect to maintain these high levels for the remainder of the year as the country grapples with tight Middle Eastern supplies and the threat of easing US sanctions. Executives at major refiners said they expect the US waivers allowing the purchase of Russian oil to be extended before they expire in the coming days. Even without the waivers, purchases are unlikely to decline given the limited supply options. Vandana Hari, founder of Singapore-based consultancy Vanda Insights, said India is seizing every opportunity to acquire Russian crude. As long as supplies from the Persian Gulf remain constrained, India is expected to continue maximizing its imports of Russian crude.

April 10th - ING analyst Francesco Pesole stated that if US CPI data shows a significant acceleration in inflation in March, driven by rising energy prices due to the Iran conflict, the dollar could find support. With high inflation making headlines, even though developments in the Middle East remain a major driver, the threshold for further dollar declines should rise today. However, he noted that for the Federal Reserve, the most important factor is whether a so-called "second-round effect" will emerge in core inflation in the coming months, where businesses pass on higher costs through prices and wages.

On April 10th, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) revised its Trading Rules in response to the further optimization of the trading system in the ChiNext reform. First, the SZSE clarified the introduction of a market maker system for ChiNext. Practice has shown that the market maker system helps improve pricing efficiency, reduce transaction costs, and decrease price volatility. The SZSE will further clarify the application and termination of market-making services, the rights and obligations of market makers, and supervision arrangements through the issuance of detailed rules and guidelines, ensuring the smooth implementation of the reform measures. Second, the SZSE adjusted the negotiated block trading of ChiNext stocks to real-time confirmation. The previous arrangement of "intraday submission, post-market confirmation" had problems such as insufficient operation time and affecting participation willingness. The confirmation time has been adjusted from 15:00-15:30 to 9:30-11:30 and 13:00-15:30, which will help further increase the willingness to complete negotiated block trading and facilitate the entry of medium- and long-term funds into the market. Third, the SZSE expanded the range of after-hours fixed-price trading instruments. The after-hours fixed-price trading mechanism for ChiNext stocks was introduced in August 2020 and has been operating smoothly and orderly. This expansion of the scope of after-hours fixed-price trading to include all ETFs, including those related to the ChiNext board, is a beneficial supplement to intraday auction trading. It allows investors to trade at the closing price and better meets their diversified trading needs.
