NBS urban statistics chief Dong Lijuan said July PPI rose 3.5% YoY, the YoY gain narrowing 0.6 ppts from June. By industry, major upward contributors included oil and gas extraction (+3.2%), petroleum/coal and other fuel processing (+8.2%), chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing (+9.1%), non-ferrous metal ore mining and dressing (+22.6%), non-ferrous metal smelting and rolling (+20.2%) and ferrous metal smelting and rolling (+2.7%) — these six industries together added ~2.55 ppts to PPI YoY. Coal mining and washing (+27.1%), electrical machinery and equipment manufacturing (+5.7%) and computer, communications and other electronic equipment manufacturing (+4.4%) together added ~1.53 ppts. The combined upward pull from these nine industries fell by 0.56 ppts versus June. The largest downward drags were electricity and heat production and supply, automobile manufacturing, non-metallic mineral products, pharmaceutical manufacturing and beverages/refined tea (declines 2.3%–5.7%), which together subtracted ~0.76 ppts from PPI YoY, a 0.05 ppt smaller drag than in June.

前美國國務院官員馬林·哈丁格指出，美國在伊朗戰爭中付出的代價之一，是自身“信譽”的流失。與此同時，沙特阿拉伯、土耳其和巴基斯坦剛剛簽署了一項防務協議。哈丁格表示，這正是華盛頓一直擔心的事情，如果中東地區不把美國視爲防務上靠得住的盟友，不願真正介入並提供保護，那麼海灣國家總有另一條路可走，就是自己拉個聯盟。短期看，如果這個新聯盟能在應對伊朗的緊迫防務問題上幫上忙，那倒不是壞事。 但長遠看，它可能成爲削弱美國在海灣地區主導權的起點，而這種變化未來幾年對海灣國家和美國恐怕都不是好事。
