4. Cui Dongshu of the CPCA: price stability is not a price cut, but to provide consumers with stable price expectations
Cui Dongshu of the China Passenger Car Association commented on the Commitment to Maintaining a Fair Market Order in Automotive Industry. He said, signed the commitment is not to engage in price monopoly, not allow enterprises to reduce prices, enterprises should not be over-interpreted. “To establish a unified national market, we can not engage in vicious price competition, can not engage in 'government-enterprise cooperation' price competition in particular, and not to allow other forces to participate in the competition of enterprises and interfere with the national market.” He explained that price stability is not just maintaining prices but providing consumers with stable price expectations. The dramatic price cuts in March represent the regional price cuts on the national market caused by interference, so consumers have unrealistic price expectations, overdrawn the trust of consumers in the car companies, but instead of bringing a large area of wait-and-see mood.

3. Russia's implementation of output cut is in doubt: refining rate jumps to the highest level in three months in early July
Russian refineries raised crude processing rates to the highest level in three months in early July on strong foreign demand for their fuel and impending cuts in domestic downstream subsidies. Refineries processed an average of 5.65 million bpd of crude from July 1st-5th, the highest level since early April, and 190,000 bpd higher than the average during June 1st-28th, a person familiar with the matter said. Russian refineries have been boosting processing volumes in recent weeks after the usual spring maintenance work. Crude supplies to Russia's domestic refineries and seaborne exports are two of the most closely watched indicators of the country's domestic oil levels to see if Russia is complying with its production cut commitments. While Russian energy officials have repeatedly said that they are keeping that promise, rising refining rates and strong overseas crude exports provide little evidence that the promise is being fully implemented.
4. EU business leaders push for an extension of the digital tax freeze
A number of EU tech companies sent a letter to European finance ministers on Monday, asking for an extension of the international agreement to stop the tax on digital services beyond Dec 31st. In the letter, the chief executives of Spotify Technology, Zalando, and 13 other companies said an extension of the agreement would block the implementation of the new digital services tax, giving governments time to complete the first pillar negotiations, domestic discussions, ratification, and implementation process. The first pillar is a set of rules that redistributes countries' taxing power over large companies, and the execs want to avoid provisions with different scopes, varying tax rates, and varying compliance and systems requirements. The executives wrote: "We want all governments that are taxing digital services to stop doing so immediately if an agreement is reached in July."
