[International Energy Agency: Middle East Conflict Reinforces Energy Security Strategies] On May 28th, local time, the International Energy Agency (IEA) released its "World Energy Investment Report 2026," which points out that the profound impact of the Middle East conflict is prompting governments and businesses to re-examine their energy investment strategies. With shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, concerns about energy security and the reliability of global trade have increased significantly. The report states that the current energy crisis, triggered by the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz, is changing market perceptions of risk and driving countries to further diversify their energy and transportation routes. This crisis, occurring only a few years after the energy crisis triggered by the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2022, is expected to have a long-term impact on future global energy investment priorities, particularly in Asia and the Middle East. These regions are most significantly affected by the disruption of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol stated, "We are in the midst of the largest energy security crisis in world history. I believe this will reshape global energy investment strategies, similar to the major changes the energy industry experienced after the oil crisis of the 1970s." (CCTV)

[Foreign Exchange Traders Await Official Japanese Data; May Have Intervened in Currency Market with Up to 10 Trillion Yen] ⑴ Foreign exchange traders are eagerly awaiting official data from Japan's Ministry of Finance on Friday to understand how much effort the authorities have put into supporting the yen over the past month. The yen is currently under pressure around 160 yen to the dollar. ⑵ The yen rebounded in late April and early May after the Ministry of Finance instructed the central bank to intervene in the market to defend the exchange rate, but has since given back most of those gains. ⑶ Preliminary analysis of the Bank of Japan's accounts suggests that the authorities may have used up to 10 trillion yen (approximately US$63 billion) to boost the yen from April 30th until the end of Japan's "Golden Week" holiday on May 6th. ⑷ Although Japanese officials declined to comment directly on whether there was intervention, a source familiar with the matter said that there was indeed intervention on April 30th, and the exchange rate movement until May 6th also showed characteristics of government buying.

[Sigmaintell Consulting: Monitor Panel Prices Continue to Rise in May, but Increase Narrows; Industry Enters Critical Period of Supply-Demand Game] ⑴ Considering both supply and demand factors and cost factors, Sigmaintell Consulting predicts that the price increase of mainstream monitor panels will narrow slightly month-on-month in May, while mid-to-high-end panels will maintain a stable trend. ⑵ Global monitor panel prices continued to rise in May, but the month-on-month increase of mainstream specifications narrowed moderately, and the industry entered a critical period of supply-demand game. ⑶ Under the combined effect of a tight supply-demand structure, continued rise in upstream material prices, and further increase in panel supply concentration, the monitor panel market will continue its upward price trend. ⑷ However, affected by the continued rise in semiconductor prices, the prices of storage-related components for monitor systems are also continuing to rise. The increase in the cost of non-screen components is gradually squeezing the room for panel price increases. Coupled with the complete stabilization of TV panel prices, brands have a strong demand for a narrowing of the price increase of mainstream monitor panel specifications. ⑸ As of the end of May, based on the increased cost pressure of the entire system and the basic completion of pre-stocking needs, the marginal demand for panel procurement by some brands has weakened. May will become a critical period for price game between supply and demand.

[Middle East Conflict Escalates, Boosting Dollar; Yen Approaches Intervention Warning Line] 1. Affected by the latest round of US strikes against Iranian military facilities, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have escalated again, with the dollar index reaching a high of 99.54 on Thursday, its highest level since April 8th. Meanwhile, the dollar/yen exchange rate is approaching the 160 mark, once again testing the Japanese authorities' resolve to intervene. 2. According to Iran's Tasnim News Agency, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated that it has carried out retaliatory strikes against a US air force base after launching an attack near Bandar Abbas airport. The Kuwaiti military stated that its air defense system is intercepting missiles and drone threats from unidentified directions. Previously, the US military launched a new round of strikes against Iranian drone activity, claiming these activities pose a direct threat to US forces and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. 3. As markets become more pessimistic about the prospect of a quick resolution to the war, oil prices rebounded, and safe-haven demand supported a stable dollar. With persistently high energy prices, the Federal Reserve has shifted its policy focus to curbing inflation, and investors increasingly expect the dollar to strengthen further. 4. Alex Saunders, Global Head of Quantitative Macro Strategy at Citigroup, stated that geopolitical risks and their associated inflation remain the main market concern, and he expects previous underweight positions in the US dollar to be covered. 5. In the currency market, the euro fell as much as 0.34% against the dollar, hitting a one-week low of $1.1685, while the pound fell as much as 0.44% against the dollar to $1.3367, its lowest level since May 18. The risk-sensitive Australian dollar fell as much as 0.6% against the dollar to $0.7097, also a one-week low. 6. The market is currently focused on the Fed's preferred inflation gauge—the core personal consumption expenditures price index—to be released today, which will provide guidance for the broader interest rate outlook. 7. The dollar rose as much as 159.65 against the yen, a new high since April 30, approaching the 160 level that triggered intervention by Japanese authorities last month. IG market analyst Tony Sicamor pointed out that the last intervention bought policymakers some breathing room, but its long-term effects are questionable. He questioned whether the price of only a month's respite was worth it. If the exchange rate breaks through 160 again in the next few trading days, will the authorities be determined to intervene again with the same amount of funds? 8. Data from the London Stock Exchange Group shows that the market currently expects a 70% probability of the Bank of Japan raising interest rates by 25 basis points at its policy meeting on June 15-16.

[Analysis: US to Take at Least 3 Years to Replenish Weapons Depleted in the Iran War] A new analysis report released on the 27th by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) indicates that US arms contractors will need at least three years to replenish their stockpiles of three key weapon systems heavily used in the Iran war. According to the Associated Press, the report states that CSIS, after analyzing publicly available information from the US Department of Defense, found that existing stockpiles of Tomahawk cruise missiles, Patriot missiles, and THAAD missile defense systems are sufficient to handle "any reasonable scenario" in the Iran war. However, replenishing the depleted stockpiles will take time, and if the US becomes involved in military conflicts elsewhere during this period, it will face a "fragile window of opportunity." The report says this window could last for several years until US weapons stockpiles return to pre-war levels; reaching a level sufficient to handle new military conflicts will require several more years. The report states, "Expanding production capacity and building these complex weapon systems takes time." (Xinhua)
