Beijing faces dilemma after China stock market rout - FT.com
Beijing faces dilemma after China stock market rout - FT.com:
"After China’s stock market experienced its second-worst day on Monday, all eyes are on Beijing, where the government faces a stark dilemma and a serious challenge to its credibility.
The unprecedented intervention measures already rolled out in the past month include a ban on short selling and initial public offerings, forced purchases of shares by state-owned investors, a ban on sales by leading shareholders and direct credit support from the central bank.
For three consecutive weeks, China’s benchmark index has rallied from the low it hit in early July, when the government unveiled most of these measures following a collapse of more than 30 per cent in less than a month."

Oil price sentiments are still downbeat | GulfNews.com
Oil price sentiments are still downbeat | GulfNews.com:
"The oil market is languishing and the trend is downward judging by the movement of benchmark crude prices. The price of Opec’s basket of crude oils posted $53.79 a barrel on July 20, down from $64.96 on May 6.
Brent crude oil prices posted $56.67 a barrel, down from $69.63 during the same period.
The reasons are many. Most importantly, concerns about more than 2 million barrels a day (mbd) of oversupply is what really matters. Opec production is now 31.7 mbd according to IEA and 31.4 mbd according to Opec, which is well above the ceiling of 30 mbd decided by the organization."
