On July 14, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the United States should control and operate the Strait of Hormuz, and considered charging transit vessels a fee equivalent to 20% of the value of their cargo to cover the cost of maintaining security in the strait. At the same time, Trump said the U.S. may continue military action against Iran, as U.S. forces launched airstrikes on Iran for the third consecutive night. Analysts pointed out that with navigation through the Strait of Hormuz yet to return to normal and the U.S. in its summer travel peak, the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) and commercial crude oil inventories are likely to continue declining, further supporting international oil price increases. As of the week ending July 3, the U.S. SPR had fallen to 319.5 million barrels, the lowest level since 1983, only slightly above the recommended safety floor of approximately 250 million barrels. Market participants believe that if the Strait of Hormuz remains disrupted for an extended period, even with relatively ample domestic crude oil supply in the U.S., global crude oil benchmark prices could continue to rise, thereby pushing up inflationary pressures and increasing the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will maintain high interest rate policies. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi responded that any party ensuring safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz should be compensated, but considered the 20% fee rate too high.

July 14, according to The Korea Times, South Korea's financial regulators will hold a high-level meeting on Thursday to discuss the risks and countermeasures of single-stock leveraged ETFs. The meeting is expected to be held under the framework of the 'F4 meeting', a coordination mechanism for macroeconomic and financial issues under the South Korean government. Officials from the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Financial Services Commission, the Financial Supervisory Service, and the Bank of Korea will jointly attend. Amid the recent intensifying volatility in the South Korean stock market, single-stock leveraged ETFs are drawing increasing attention from regulators and market participants. All parties believe that such products have become an important factor driving drastic stock price fluctuations. Informed officials said that regulators have been internally coordinating relevant plans in recent days, but the policy direction has not yet been finalized. Possible measures discussed in the market include raising margin requirements, limiting daily price fluctuation ranges, and adjusting leverage multiples. However, regulatory officials believe that the above measures may only provide temporary relief and cannot fundamentally solve the structural causes of market volatility. (Jinshi)

On July 14, SoftBank Group founder Masayoshi Son stated that by 2040, global artificial intelligence infrastructure will require an annual investment of $5 trillion to support the expansion of data centers, power supply, and humanoid robots, driving a shift from the 'human-centric' work model to a new paradigm.

On July 14, Deutsche Bank strategists stated in their latest report that they maintain a bearish view on the duration of U.S. Treasuries, citing the continued increase in the free-float supply of government bonds in the four major economies—the U.S., the UK, the Eurozone, and Japan—which is expected to push up term premiums on long-dated bonds. Deutsche Bank forecasts that by the end of this year, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield will rise to 4.80%, and the 2-year yield will reach 4.30%. This implies a “moderate steepening” of the yield curve compared to current spot and forward levels. (Jin Shi)
