[Russia Expands List of EU Personnel Banned from Entering Russia] The Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement on July 18th, saying that in response to the EU's approval of the 21st round of sanctions against Russia, Russia has significantly expanded the list of EU personnel banned from entering Russia. The statement said that on July 23rd, the EU approved the 21st round of sanctions aimed at harming Russian interests. In response, Russia, in accordance with its domestic laws, has significantly expanded the list of EU personnel banned from entering Russia, including those involved in deciding to provide military aid to Ukraine; those engaged in activities aimed at undermining the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation; and those responsible for implementing anti-Russian sanctions, damaging relations between Russia and third countries, or obstructing Russian maritime navigation. The statement also said that Russia has imposed entry restrictions on individuals in European countries holding anti-Russian positions, as well as EU member states' parliamentarians and members of the European Parliament who voted in support of anti-Russian resolutions and legislation. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on social media on July 23rd that EU member states had reached a political agreement that day on the 21st round of sanctions against Russia. The new round of sanctions will add 32 Russian banks to the trading ban list, while also sanctioning related cryptocurrency companies and oil trading platforms. The EU also stated that it will suspend its dynamic price control mechanism for Russian oil for one year to prevent Russia from profiting from sharp fluctuations in international oil prices.

[Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Bowman: Final Revisions to Stress Tests Expected in Coming Weeks] Wall Street lenders are one step closer to applying more lenient capital requirements to the Federal Reserve's stress tests, with large banks expected to benefit further as U.S. regulators continue to ease capital rules. Speaking in prepared remarks for an event in London on Friday, Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman said that final revisions to the Fed's stress tests would likely address concerns about risk sensitivity and what risks the tests cover. "These revisions will increase transparency and public accountability, enhance the reliability and accuracy of the models, and reduce volatility in capital requirements resulting from annual stress test results," Bowman said. She also indicated that the Fed expects to consider final revisions to the stress test framework "in the coming weeks." The Fed's revisions are likely to incorporate much of what was previously proposed, but Bowman said she would consider feedback from the banking industry on the stress test proposal before voting on the final rules. Specifically, she cited a request from the banking industry to "set a specific date to lock in corporate balance sheets before the proposed scenarios are published," addressing concerns about risk sensitivity. Another requirement is to incorporate two global market shock scenarios based on the same date to improve risk coverage. Bowman also anticipates that by the end of the year, a related set of capital rules will be finalized, including a plan to reduce the additional capital requirements for the largest U.S. banks, as well as adjustments to risk-based capital requirements for large and small banks.

[US Treasury Real Yields Soar, Gold Significantly Decouples from Its Traditional Correlation] ⑴ The 10-year US real yield has risen to approximately 2.7%, the highest since the 2008 financial crisis. ⑵ Historically, rising real yields have typically been a major headwind for gold, as inflation-adjusted US Treasury returns are more attractive. ⑶ However, since 2022, gold has shown a significant divergence from real yields, with the current gold price around $4,380 per ounce. ⑷ This relationship shifted after the freezing of Russian reserves in 2022, with central banks increasingly turning to gold as a reserve asset. ⑸ Gold is perceived as less reliant on other countries' balance sheets, increasing its attractiveness as a reserve asset. ⑹ Even with a significant increase in the real borrowing costs of US debt since then, gold prices have continued to rise. ⑺ From a market sentiment perspective, geopolitical factors and the need for reserve diversification are increasingly offsetting the traditional pressure from high real yields. ⑻ For many global central banks, gold has become a more important reserve asset than US Treasury bonds. (9) The subsequent focus should be on the interplay between the central bank's gold purchase pace and the path of real interest rates, as these two factors will determine whether this decoupling can continue. (10) Overall, the pricing logic for gold is shifting from being solely driven by interest rates to a combination of reserve and geopolitical factors.
