In July, the medium- to long-term fixed deposit rates of two institutions fell below the 2% threshold, signaling an accelerating erosion of private banks' high-interest-rate advantage.

① At the start of the second half of the year, following Shanghai Huarui Bank’s reduction in its five-year fixed deposit rate, Sushang Bank recently followed suit by adjusting its three-year fixed deposit rate. After these adjustments, the upper limits of fixed deposit rates at both private banks have fallen below the 2% threshold. ② The withdrawal of high-yield deposits may lead to a slowdown in asset growth for small and medium-sized banks. In the short term, their interest-margin-dependent business model will face pressure, weighing on net profits.

Ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions continue to pose a threat, with the U.S. potentially taking further action to cap oil prices; the White House is reported to be considering another extension of the 'vessel sanctions' waiver.

According to reports, one option currently under discussion at the White House is to continue allowing foreign-flagged vessels to transport cargo between U.S. domestic ports, but potentially with added geographic restrictions, limiting applicability to specific regions only.

Wash: AI pushes up prices but not necessarily inflation; no inflation metric is precise, and Trump has not attempted to interfere with the Federal Reserve.

Worshe acknowledged that June CPI and PPI data showed improvement, but noted that inflation indicators do not perfectly reflect underlying inflationary conditions. He stated that one-off price changes do not necessarily lead to sustained inflation, and emphasized that the inflationary impacts of AI and external conflicts are fundamentally different when viewed through the lens of market supply-side responses. The AI boom has already driven up prices for chips and other components, and prices could rise further over the next 12 months; whether this evolves into broader inflation will depend on the Federal Reserve's actions. He added that he has 'repeatedly' told Trump that he is independent, that Trump has never asked him to do anything improper, and that if such a request were ever made, he would not comply.
